Aries (March 20 – April 19)

On Tuesday, December 23, the planet of silent power, Saturn, moves into a new position and into your fellow fire sign of Sagittarius. This will give you a dose of the grounded discipline that Saturn is all about. Understanding this will take time, but will be worth waiting for.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Secretive? If asked, you would never describe yourself that way. Yet during this intense period there have been conversations about matters you have never really discussed before. And these are revealing how unaware others are of feelings you thought they must know about. The fact is, they don’t. Talk them over now.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

One of your gifts is your ability to see humour in almost anything. At the moment, however, certain individuals are taking their problems very seriously indeed. Tempting as it is to cheer them up with a few laughs, it wouldn’t work. You could, in fact, actually upset them.

Cancer (June 21 – July 21)

Don’t be surprised if you are faced with unexpected revelations. Initially these may be a shock, but once you have had a chance to think about it, you’ll realise your instincts had told you something was wrong. What’s more, over the next few days, the odds are good that more will surface.

Leo (July 22 – August 22)

This hardly seems the ideal time to rethink your plans, both short and long term. But with the coming New Moon accenting such matters and ushering in a helpful fresh perspective, a review could both reveal useful improvements and enable you to spot options you had previously bypassed.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

After a demanding, challenging and, often, disappointing week or so, you need a break. Actually, not only will you get it, the move by the Sun and your ruler Mercury into the portion of your chart that accents who and what you most enjoy will boost your spirits, and overnight.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

No Libra is happy doing something that those closest at home or work question. However, having talked over issues, you are no closer to reaching an accord. Do what you think best. Once you have, and others see how well things work, they’ll understand your thinking and will, somewhat belatedly, support you.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Nobody’s better at resolving even the most puzzling of dilemmas. Whatever its nature, once you have decided to tackle the matter in question, you’ll focus on it unrelentingly until you crack it. Yet now you have no time for such investigation. Don’t worry. You can trust your instincts. They’ll tell you what’s what.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 20)

If you haven’t already decided that what only recently seemed brilliant plans need to be taken back to the drawing board, you are about to. This has only partly to do with what’s been organised. The actual circumstances have changed, nearly beyond recognition. Fortunately, Monday’s New Moon offers a fresh perspective.

Capricorn (December 21 – January 19)

It’s unlikely you spend much time thinking about your ruling planet, Saturn. And you are probably not aware that this coming Tuesday it moves into a new sign, something it does only every two years or so. What you will notice, however, are the powerful shifts in your life this brings.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

Once you understand there is no single, simple approach to the events shaking up what were once simple plans, you’ll stop analysing past events and what’s next in painstaking detail. The trick to dealing with this unruly period is to take things day by day and, often, hour by hour.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

Because you are often more tuned into the feelings of others than they are, you tend to cushion them from things you fear they would be unable to cope with. At the moment, it would be better if you encouraged them to confront those issues head-on, and you then discussed them together.
