Aries (March 20 — April 19)
Unsettling as the events of the period between now and mid-August may be, they’re all about breakthroughs. While you’ll recognise some as being exactly that the minute they arise, others won’t be as clear cut. Knowing that, ask questions first. What you learn is likely to completely alter your priorities.
Taurus (April 20 — May 20)
Good fortune comes in many forms. A cycle about exactly that begins in early August and continues for some weeks. What arises will be as unexpected as, ultimately, it proves welcome. However, before then events will point out what, and who, should go to clear the way for what’s next.
Gemini (May 21 — June 20)
There are many varieties of refusal. While some are firm and there’s no way around them, others are really more about delaying decisions long enough that an in-depth discussion is possible. That’s the case now. Take time over this and when you’ve made decisions, you’ll be sure they’re wise ones.
Cancer (June 21 — July 22)
Nobody likes giving up familiar elements of their life when it’s unclear what will come next. While you’re lacking hard facts, your instincts are telling you that what’s coming will be both better and easier to live with. All you need is the patience necessary to wait while events unfold.
Leo (July 23 — August 22)
You don’t often think of it, but you’ll fight for anything or anybody you believe in. Now, however, you’re encouraged to pause and consider whether these arrangements or even alliances that once meant so much to you still do. Circumstances are prompting a review. It would be a good idea.
Virgo (August 23 — September 22)
Although everybody’s familiar with Mercury’s retrograde cycle and the accompanying confusion, the influence when Venus is in reverse movement is very different. What’s more, because it’s actually in Virgo, unexpected events could bring powerful insights. Ask in-depth questions.
Libra (September 23 — October 22)
When you organise anything, you review every element carefully, from the plan and its details to the role each individual will play. Despite that, with the actual circumstances you’re dealing with reshaping themselves and more than once, there’s little point in struggling to achieve perfection, at least at this stage.
Scorpio (October 23 — November 21)
The Full Moon may not be until Friday. But because it accents the structure of your life, you’re already aware of both the heightened feelings and potential changes it’s bringing with it. Unsettling as those changes may be, they’re breaking up patterns that are familiar, but are holding you back.
Sagittarius (November 22 — December 21)
Watching arrangements you worked long and hard to organise come undone isn’t easy. Still, they were wonderful while they lasted, but it’s time for something new. Don’t be influenced by those who say you should try to revive these. You already know what’s next. You need only take that first step.
Capricorn (December 22 — January 19)
Few situations confound you more than those where there’s no reason for the decisions being made or you’re dealing with somebody who can’t think logically. Yet judging by the current planetary alignment, the actual circumstances in question are completely random. Knowing that, trust your instincts.
Aquarius (January 20 — February 17)
Being a logical air sign, you’ve a knack for analysing what’s behind even very serious conflicts. But you’ve been unable to get recent clashes off your mind. However, because these were triggered by a difficult aspect between the hot-headed Mars and your ruler Uranus, it’s likely you responded to what was said emotionally.
Pisces (February 18 — March 19)
Often setbacks are no more than that. Now however, they’re the beginning of a cycle that’s about decluttering your life. Recently you’ve become embroiled in activities and alliances that are devouring your time and energy while giving little back. These must go, and now.
