Aries (March 20 – April 19)

After weeks and, in some cases, months of having to put off important decisions, the move by your ruler Mars to accent these matters has already led to breakthroughs. While, obviously, you’re eager to plunge into action, ensure arrangements are flexible. Within days you’ll realise how wise this was.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

You’re busy enough already, so are probably not in the mood to rethink your schedule. Judging by the current powerful planetary shift to accent the structure of your life, certain changes aren’t just being discussed, they’re being put into action. Tempted to battle these? Don’t. Go with the flow. It will make life a lot easier.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Although your ruling planet, Mercury, was retrograde from mid-December until January 2, you’re still dealing with the resulting confusion. Tempting as it is to tackle these issues swiftly, focus on them one by one and, when, possible, in detail. What you learn will more than justify the patience required.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

However intense the influence of the Full Moon is, usually it passes swiftly. Although the most recent was on December 27, it was in your sign, Cancer, so roused expectedly deep thoughts and feelings. You’re still reflecting on them, and the changes you’re now considering. Continue exploring these. You’ll learn a lot.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Fire signs, such as Leo, enjoy getting a lot done and, equally, thrive on having a good time. That is, in fact, one of your objectives each and every day. However, periods like this, when events sideline even the simplest of plans, can be frustrating. The secret? Out of character as it is, take things slowly.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

The actual New Moon may not be until Thursday. But if you’re feeling the urge to rethink certain existing arrangements and, possibly, let go of old ones in favour of something new, worthwhile and exciting, this is the moment to do it. Focus on, and define, those ideas, hopes and tentative plans.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Recently, you’ve faced several situations where others were short of facts, and about important matters. Worse, they had no interest in putting things right. That being the case, sidestep them and update others who are involved. Be discreet if you must, but still, ensure the facts go to those who need them.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Planning ahead comes so naturally to you that, often, you forget others don’t think in detail, the way you do. That being the case, when you’re making plans, you’re better off organising things yourself, then discussing what you have in mind. Others will be relieved, and so will you.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Most Sagittarians are experts at putting off dealing with tedious details until the last minute, which is exactly what you’ve been doing recently. Now, however, a combination of other pressing matters and your own need to focus on several obligations is cornering you into tackling these again. Plunge in. You’ll be glad you did.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Planning ahead may be a virtue. However, while there’s a New Moon every month, Thursday’s Capricorn New Moon marks a sort of personal New Year. For now, pause and reflect on what could go. This, in turn, will clear the way for the exciting ideas, offers and developments soon to come your way.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

Being a quick-thinking air sign, you’re compassionate about those who are overwhelmed by sudden changes or, equally, who are less able to pick up on new ideas. At the moment, however, it would seem you’re their only connection to dealing with and, in fact, making vital changes. Patience won’t come easily, but it is essential.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

Not only do you benefit from an amazing ability to tolerate the emotional ups and downs of others, you’ll do all you can to smooth out the wrinkles in everyday life that upset them. At the moment, however, they’re facing matters they alone can deal with. Back off and let them do exactly that.

If it's your birthday tomorrow...

Sometimes, misunderstandings are exactly that. However, the clash between the planet of ideas and communication, Mercury, and Neptune, which accents both imagination and fantasy, suggests you’ll be facing a range of situations, many of which will involve exactly this variety of confusion. For you, as a logical Capricorn, initially this could be challenging. Gradually, however, you’ll learn to understand, and deal wisely with, this imaginative but not always factual way of approaching life.
