Aries : 21st March – 20th April – see above

Taurus: 19th April – 20th May – This month there is a real emphasis on hidden matters coming to light. It’s a time for researching your family tree, the old stuff in the attic and also clearing out those attitudes and beliefs that have been holding you back for so long. This could be a period of heightened imagination and dreaming. You may even find that your spiritual life is going through a change of direction, which could be due to someone coming back into your life who offers you some new world views. You may find that your long term objectives receive a good shake-up as well. This is not a month to sit life out on the sidelines. Make new friends, go out of your way to meet people, even if you’re tired after a hard day at the office, and stretch your mental faculties by taking a risk on the new rather than staying safe.

Gemini: 20th May – 20th June The New Moon falling in your Solar 11th house of friendships, ideals and humanitarian activities will give you the urge to do something meaningful, rather than just talking about it. It is a really social time for you and you are in your element. Time seems to speed up for you when you are being stimulated by good conversations and fresh attitudes coming at you – this is due largely to the fact that your ruler Mercury is zipping through the Zodiac right now faster than usual and you are bound to respond in kind. Work may be somewhat demanding at present, with lots of hasty words and heated discussions. Try to keep your head down and let it rage around you rather than getting pulled in – no matter how seductive the idea of a good verbal workout seems to be – there is someone who is a past master at the art and could have you on the ropes very quickly.

Cancer: 21st June – 22nd July This is a good time to be thinking about taking some long distance travels later in the year – getting the travel brochures and dreaming about far off places over a glass of wine creates a good diversion from the intense pressure that’s going an at work right now, with the New Moon falling in your Solar 10th house of career and public standing. Someone who left your workplace a while ago may return and cause even further havoc this next couple of months. The best action to take is to go into your shell and ignore what’s happening around you – when the dust settles you will have done some good work and could be noticed for it by the powers that be. Home and children also focus your energies – this is really where your heart lies – maybe you could even work from home for a while just to take some of the pressure off?

Leo: 22nd July – 22nd August – The New Moon in your Solar 9th House of further education could bring you the energy you need to explore the possibility of expanding your gifts and skills, so that you can profit even further in your career or creative life. There’s a lot of intense emotional pressure on for you with Mars going through your 8th House of shared resources, mortgages and taxes, so make sure all your statements are up to date. Taking a journey to meet up with some old friends could be a good way of alleviating that pressure for you – as long as you don’t overspend to do so – let others pay for themselves for a change. Relationships are all up in the air for you but don’t make any decisions right now about them as you could be the one to lose out. This is an issue that has a long way to go still, so you don’t have to rush it.

Virgo: 22nd August – 22nd September – The New Moon falling in your Solar 8th House can make everything seem very intense this month – the focus may be on your joint financial arrangements, but the actual issues lie much deeper. It could be a good time to speak to a friend or someone else you can trust for advice or insight into what’s really going on. The past may still be troubling you and needs to be let go of in order that you can have a better future. Mars is rampaging through your Solar 7th House of relationships for the next couple of weeks so there may also be some discussions or action needing to be taken with those closest to you. You may feel as if others around you hold all the cards and you need to get some power back for yourself – if confrontation is the only way you can do that, so be it.

Libra: 22nd September – 23rd October – The New Moon falling in your relationship 7th House brings your social life into sharp focus – and it’s really about making choices this month, and that’s hard for you to do, being a nice Libran.  There are things in your past that need to be looked squarely in the eye and moved on from. Only when your ruler Venus changes direction in mid-April will you be clear about what you really want out of everyone. Someone may leave and this will create just the space you need. Worrying about things doesn’t help and can impact on your health – a new regime could be just the ticket  with Mars in your Solar House of health and well being. Jupiter in your Solar 5th House of creativity, enjoyment and even love affairs could have you looking towards a better future for yourself – time to get some new attitudes in place and let go of things that no longer serve.

Scorpio 23rd October – 21st November – March is often a good time of year to clear out outdated things like old clothes, habits and even, dare I say it, people that aren’t serving your new vision of the future. With the New Moon falling in your Solar 6th House of health and well being, if things aren’t working efficiently for you then they need to be ditched – someone coming back in your life from your past may be challenging your ideas making you take a long hard look at yourself as a result. It could be time to look at your health regime and exercise plans, for example. With your ruler Mars in your 5th House of creativity and enjoyment, you could allow yourself a little fun and games – take time out to chill once in a while – I know it’s hard for you to do that, but try – you’ll feel much freer afterwards. You need to hear your heart sing as much as anyone else.

Sagittarius 21st November – 21st December – The New Moon falling in your Solar 5th House gives you masses of energy to spend on all your creative projects and ideas – time to haul everything out of the cupboards, and even the attic, to see what you can do with it all. This is such a upbeat month for you with love, laughter and fun in the air  you can really expand your horizons if you want to. ou could also be spending a lot of your time talking to people worldwide, which is perfect for you, of course. Mars in your domestic area of life can be create its own dramas and have you working hard to fight your corner with other family members. Children are probably the focus for all this action and may be demanding more from you than you wish to give right now – or it could just be other family members.

Capricorn 21st December -19th January – The New Moon falling in your Solar 4th House of home, family and other domestic issues can take most of your attention this month. You will need to watch that this doesn’t leave you depleted for your working day – as this can be a knock-on effect. Projects that you have been avoiding within your home need to be completed so that when you open your front door after a hard day outside, you feel a real sense of having somewhere to rest and relax. There may be conflicts with siblings and cousins – or even neighbours – with Mars challenging your Solar 3rd House – and half the time you’re not even sure they know what they’re talking about. Step back and let them get on with it – time to deal with it all next month. A good diversion could be to start preparing a holiday later in the year – a nice sunny beach perhaps.

Aquarius 20th January – 19th February – The New Moon falling in your Solar 3rd House of communication – teaching, writing and short journeys out and about – gives you plenty of stimulation this month. You are such a friendly and chatty person that this time of year is always a good period for you. A long lost family member may come back into the picture and give you a new group of friends to interact with. Or you may come across an old school mate whom you haven’t spoken to or seen for years – could be fun! With Mars in your Solar 2nd House of personal finances this is the time to put energy into getting yourself financially stable – Mars rules your 10th House of career, so it could be the time to ask for a raise or some other payment in kind that will make you feel valued by your boss.

Pisces 19th February – 20th March – With active Mars in your Solar 1st House this is a period of real high octane energy output for you. No more dreaming, time to act! If you are thinking good ideas – then make them work for you by putting them out into the outside world. Get on the internet, start writing your blog, reach out to new people and broadcast who you are – you will be amazed what results it can bring. The New Moon in Aries falls in your Solar 2nd House of personal finances, which can often cause you some anxiety. However, you may have an offer from someone in your past coming into your present who could offer a whole new future for you to explore. So, this is the month to get out and about, meet people and let them know that you’re interested in trying new avenues of exploration – and maybe even think of travelling abroad.
