ARIES (March 21-April 19)
The Sun’s arrival in the ninth house of far horizons, combined with a Mercury-Jupiter opposition, opens up new frontiers. Perhaps you are poised to travel to a distant location or maybe the journey you are about to make is one of experience and knowledge but either way, there is a positive shift in the astrological dynamics. Hope replaces disappointment, confidence breeds success. Make the most of any small sign of progress and although you don’t want to take a giant risk with life and limb, maybe it is time you got off the hamster wheel and enjoyed yourself.
Let the good times roll.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
On Tuesday, Pluto returns to your tenth solar house and gets back to the business of transforming your prospects. Career, role in life and long-term aspirations are the stuff of the tenth house so if you are already in the middle of a major transition, you can thank this planet for its good work. Not that a Pluto transit is a piece of cake. Sometimes something has to go in order for the new to take root – it takes time for an old skin to be shed. There is also an aura of joy surrounding life and even if everything isn’t perfect, there should be something to celebrate.
Let the celebrations begin.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
An offer or invitation could be coming your way, and it should add to your bank of happiness. Mercury is opposing Jupiter in your sign and upping the positivity particles. It is a good time to talk, a good time to join forces with others and a perfect time to give or accept an olive branch. Astrology-wise the past few months have been brutal, and even if you’ve experienced success and joy, you’ve either had to work for it or people in your life have had their struggles, but for now, there is harmony and hope. Don’t let this opportunity to set a wrong to rights go by.
Enjoy the moment.
CANCER (June 21- July 22)
On Tuesday, Pluto finally moves out of the zone of relating and into the area of financial exchange, while on Thursday, the Sun enters the area of work and well-being. Add to this, Mercury’s opposition to Jupiter and you could say there is a major energetic shift taking place. Certainly, we are moving out of a volatile and controversial phase and into something a little more “normal”. There could be good news related to work and if you’ve been coping with a health issue, there could be improvements. 2024 has been a largely difficult year so take advantage of this armistice while it’s here.
A dynamic shift.
LEO (July 23-August 23)
On Tuesday, Pluto enters Aquarius for its complete transit of your seventh house. Since Pluto moves so slowly, it’s only going to be those of you with July birthdays or planets and points on or near one degree of Leo who are going to feel its effects in the coming months. It may seem as though other people are the agents of change, other people who are changing, but, really and truly, it is you. Nonetheless, this week has its bright and beautiful moments, even an opportunity not to be missed.
Self-discovery.
VIRGO (Aug 24-Sept22)
Hopefully, last week’s influences brought clarity so that you can make the most of this week’s opportunities to diversify and move on, if necessary. There could be positive developments on the home front or in regard to your role in life, and this is an excellent time for discussions to be held or moves to be made that will add to your happiness and security. The tempo is upbeat and the future a little shinier and brighter. Next Tuesday, Mercury turns retrograde so this would also be a good time to get arrangements locked in and to ensure there are no loopholes or loose ends.
Getting there.
LIBRA (Sept 23 - Oct 22)
On Tuesday, Pluto begins its long journey through Aquarius and your solar fifth house – the house of creativity and the heart. While no Pluto transit is easy, you have much to gain from the journey of self-discovery you will be making in the coming years. And journeys of one sort or another are on the menu this week. Whether you are on the road or flying away, the mood should be upbeat and outcomes positive. Likewise, meetings and conversations could boost your confidence and faith in the future. Use these uplifting influences to get you a little further along the path to your dreams.
Enjoy the journey.
SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov 21)
Pluto returns to the base of your chart all set to bring about major change, first and foremost in regard to the home front. You may already be dealing with domestic and property situations that have challenged you emotionally and/or financially, in which case you are now on the home stretch. However, for others, such experiences lie in the future. Something always has to give with Pluto, and it is almost always something we least want to let go. With this in mind, avoid signing up to a commitment that could prove too costly were your financial circumstances to change. There are deals to be made at the moment, but beware of the hidden cost.
The hidden cost.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21)
On Thursday, the Sun leaves the house of secrets and shadows and enters your sign. Hopefully, you have used the past four weeks to recharge your batteries because you’re going to have to be at the top of your game from this point on. Technically, you are empowered, so even if you don’t feel ready to go-get-‘em, you should start making moves intended to add to your bank of happiness and success. And with Mercury turning retrograde next week, making connections and getting plans nailed down would be what you might call a good start.
Forward march!
CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19)
Venus is just getting into her stride in your sign, but it is not too soon for her to deliver the goods. While this planet of all things bright and beautiful may not turn all wrongs to rights, you have the equivalent of an ace up your sleeve when pursuing your goals. More important, you can attract good things toward you. It is a time to find love and to let love lead the way. And given that this has been a largely difficult period, allowing things of the heart to take precedence can only be a good thing. Motivated by love, how can you possibly fail?
Let love lead the way.
AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18)
On Tuesday, Pluto re-enters your sign for its long transit. Already, those of you with 19-24 January birthdays or planets and points from zero to three degrees of the fixed signs may have felt the power of this planet to end old patterns of life and in the process inspire change at core level, but at some point, all Aquarians will go through such an experience. At the moment, you may be sensing that a situation, probably a relationship, is about to change, whether it is set to take off or come to an end, however, now would be the wrong moment to try to interfere. Observe but avoid rushing to judgement.
A bit of a waiting game.
PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20)
Mercury and Jupiter inspire good news, whether positive information reaches you or you take the initiative and act on your ambitions and desires. Seize the moment! On Thursday, the Sun heads into the zone of career and life-goals beginning a short season of developments related to your place in the world. It is a time to discuss your future with employers or backers, a time when your job situation can change, and a premium period to set your material world to rights. And with Mercury heading into retrograde next Tuesday, don’t lose any time setting the wheels in motion.
Seize the moment.
