Aries

This looks to be a great time for you Aries, if you can avoid getting over-excited and keep your cool. Yesterday’s New Moon, though a tad erratic, may have catapulted you into a new scenario that you hadn’t expected. Perhaps you had one plan, and now you have another that’s very exciting. There’s a lot of cutting-edge activity spurring you on to bigger and better things.

Taurus

21 April – 21 May

You’ll be excited about anything that’s different and like nothing you’ve seen before. Even if you’re giving your place a makeover, you’ll be on the lookout for novel ideas and gadgets that can save you time and money. But there’s also a lot of fun to be had if you’re ready to embrace activities that you’ve never tried before. You’ll discover skills that are unique to you, Taurus.

Gemini

22 May – 21 June

You’re ready to open your mind to new ways of thinking, and to experiences that may be out of your usual remit. And because of this, you’ll become aware of ideas and opportunities you’ve never noticed before. Be prepared for signs and coincidences that may be guiding you to try out a new path, Gemini. If you have a recurring dream or a startling synchronicity, then do take note.

Cancer

22 June – 23 July

There’s a lot of activity in your money zone and communication sector, which hints at opportunities to boost your income by using your natural talents. If you have a way with words, are naturally well-organized or have an eye for detail, you could be of service to someone. And the ongoing Mars/Uranus link suggests that promoting your skills may turn out to be lucrative.

Leo

24 July – 23 August

Yesterday’s New Moon in your sign was quite a sparky occasion, as it aligned with unconventional Uranus in your career zone. This may have led you to take a leap of faith and try something that you’ve been thinking about for some time. You need a change and perhaps a challenge, and if you follow your desire for exciting opportunities you’ll soon be satisfied.

Virgo

24 August – 23 September

A recurring fantasy or powerful intuitive nudge may be the reason your mind is set on far horizons and bold opportunities. With an electric atmosphere in the air due to some fizzing aspects, you’re all set to embrace fresh experiences by travelling or exploring new opportunities. There’s also a focus on a private zone, which can be a call to follow any intuitive nudges.

Libra

24 September – 23 October

Much as you would prefer everyone to get along, this might not be easy as edgy aspects may pit one person against another. And while the Sun in Leo can provide plenty of opportunities for socializing, the presence of Uranus suggests that you could have your work cut out to resolve a stubborn matter. Less sweetness and more of a no-nonsense approach will do the trick though.

Scorpio

24 October – 22 November

The difficulties in persuading someone to see things your way could continue, and unless you can break this deadlock, it may be hard to get a move on. But perhaps you shouldn’t concentrate your energy on this as what you focus on tends to increase. Shift your attention to a relationship that is moving along nicely even if you’ve only just met, as this one might be mutually satisfying.

Sagittarius

23 November – 21 December

If good times beckon but you’re stuck trying to finish off a project or some work, don’t give up, Archer. Notice any frustration and dig your heels in further. You may be grumbling as you juggle with issues and minor obstacles, but you’re on the home run. Give it one last push and when it’s completed, relax and enjoy yourself knowing you’ve done your absolute best.

Capricorn

22 December – 20 January

You may be in a two-and-eight about something, and not sure which option to go with. It can seem that if you go one way it automatically excludes the other, but does it? With some creativity and careful crafting, you could engineer a unique solution that allows you to have your cake and eat it. And when others see what you’ve accomplished, they’ll very likely copy you.

Aquarius

21 January – 19 February

You could be at war with yourself over a decision, and blaming yourself for something that isn’t your fault. And while this matter might have been avoided “if only” things had happened differently, don’t take it to heart. Instead of putting the blame on your shoulders, let it go! You will find out the truth eventually, but until then be kind to yourself and relish a little self-care.

Pisces

20 February – 20 March

A conversation could be taken either way, depending on how you interpret it. Keep an open mind and you may find there are advantages to be gained if you look for them. Plus, it doesn’t matter how persuasive you are, if someone doesn’t want to listen, they won’t. If something urgent needs to be done it’s best to do it yourself, as other people may be off doing their own thing.
