March 2013 Horoscopes


Aries
21st March – 20th April
Up to around the 12th it’s about going with the flow rather than fighting the direction of current events (which isn’t a bad thing). In doing so, you’re rewarded with the kind of insight and inspiration you might have missed otherwise; which is useful from the 20th when the sun moves into your sign, changing your attitude and your approach almost overnight. The full moon on the 27th suggests the full force of your uncompromising nature is unleashed, along with the consequences; Talk about full steam ahead, there’s no going back from whatever you set into motion at this time.
 

Taurus
21st April – 21st May
Up to midmonth, there’s a mega line-up of planets in the friendship, groups and gatherings area of your chart. This suggests situations linked to these matters have your full attention at this time, and the new moon on the 11th symbolises new beginnings underway here, regarding people or places that are a better match for your lifestyle and future intentions than ever before. Partners or potential love interests seem swept up in their goals and passions from the 12th, and from the 22nd you might feel there’s no choice but to take action on certain goals and desires of your own.


Gemini
22nd May – 21st June
It’s all happening in the career and reputation angle of your chart this month, as many planets symbolise your concentrated flow of energy and attention towards this area of life, along with matters involving your long term plans and ambitions. A new moon on the 11th represents some new opportunities, and there’s a change of direction or turning point around the 17th that feels important to you. The latter half of the month also focuses on your involvement with groups and gatherings. Friendships, networking, teamwork etc are all calling you to action, which feels intense and positive around the 27th.


Cancer
22nd June – 22nd July
Philosophy, education, or travel is irresistible to you now, as the call to broaden your horizons (and therefore your perspective on life) beckons, despite any attachment to existing comfort zones (especially around the 11th). You might feel no choice but to go with the general flow of circumstances till midmonth though, as some finer details cause brain fog, which can cloud clarity about your next steps, but beyond that, especially during the final week of March, there’s plenty of reason and opportunity to bring your direction, goals and sense of purpose into stronger, clearer connection and action.


Leo
23rd July – 23rd August
It can’t hurt just to slow down slightly up to midmonth (you won’t have time to after that, believe me), especially if you feel out of step with yourself at all, in order to double check your calculations and any small print you have an investment. Around the 17th you might notice a turnaround in certain matters with others, where things feel clearer and less prone to mistakes or misunderstandings, and from the 22nd, especially around the 27th, expect the unexpected in all kinds of unusual, exhilarating and probably disruptive ways. Acting with individuality and uniqueness is the cause, and the effect of this.


Virgo
24th August – 22nd September
This is a month of fresh perspectives on certain contracts and agreements, while some relationships take on new life and meaning. Old contracts and agreements that no longer serve who you are now, can dissolve amicably at this time, so don’t fear that upheaval and sense of loss are necessary for significant change and transformation to take place; all that is required is acceptance that more is in store than you can imagine from your current standpoint, and a willingness to believe you deserve it. A bit of faith in your unknown future will manifest some supportive stepping stones, so big leaps aren’t necessary.

 

Libra
23rd September – 23rd October
You seem to attract problems this month, or so it appears anyway; probably because you’re more finely tuned to solutions right now. In other words you’re the answer that people are looking for. But don’t analyse this too deeply or you’ll lose the magic of your approach. Just go with your own flow and enjoy being the piece of the puzzle that others have been waiting for. There’s a full moon in your sign around the 27th, reflecting how full on and power packed certain relationships are for you and if you were unsure about priorities with others before now, you’ll be a lot clearer soon.

 

Scorpio
24th October – 22nd November
You are at your best creatively when you can dive into what you’re doing and fully immerse yourself in it, mind body and spirit. No half measures or testing the waters, it’s all or nothing with you. March is one of the best times for many a moon for doing just that, so no holding back on your vision of what is achievable within creative projects, and also matters of the heart, as your romantic vision only requires your approval too. A feisty but fair full moon on the 27th is about an awakening related to health and fitness; recognising priorities, in other words.

 

Sagittarius
23rd November – 21st December
So much revolves around home and family matters for much of the month, as well as creative projects and general fun and good times in the latter half. A new moon appears on the 11th, in your comfiest comfort zone, symbolising how events this month encourage new faith in home and family situations. From the 12th you don’t need telling twice to get moving on creative pursuits and matters of the heart, and what happens around the 27th reflects how deeply you desire to triumph over opposition to your goals, even when the worst opposition is from your own doubts.

 

Capricorn
22nd December – 20th January
It’s not the easiest of months to maintain a sense of perspective about certain matters, but keep trying as communication is a key focus for March and saying it how you see it will likely occupy much more of your energy and attention than usual; in other words, don’t forget that feelings aren’t facts. Also, your home and family chart shows a surprisingly powerful and busy full moon building up to the 27th which translates as lots of activity in and around comfort zones that can inspire abrupt or sudden change that is not necessarily unwelcome.
 

Aquarius
21st January – 18th February
There’s a mega line-up of planets in the area of your chart that deals with income and resources, which means more reasons to focus strongly on this area of your life are cropping up as March unfolds. And that will be interesting as you’re normally a bit fuzzy around those matters specifically; preferring a more general, burden-free, go with the flow approach. Second half of March has big news regarding communication, especially around 22nd and 27th. It’s a bold, spontaneous time for your comms but is it courage or recklessness that pushes you forward? It can feel like both this month.
 

Pisces
19th February – 20th March
Wowza, up to 6planets and an asteroid are hanging out in your sign at times this month, which reflects how you’re at the centre of the action and ready for such attention. A fabulous new moon in your sign on the 11th suggests a significant new start of some sort is revealing itself, while a change of mind around the 17th indicates a change of approach from you compared to recent weeks. From the 12th and particularly around the 22nd and 27th, finance and resources have your full focus and as March brings out your impulsive, unpredictable side, review your priorities in advance.

Update: It's not the end of the world (part one)

Remember that day last December when everyone thought it was going to be the end of the world? December 21st, the end of the 5000 year cycle in the Mayan calendar? Gave a few people the heebie jeebies? Made a few news readers crack that 'fun' smile they normally keep for ufo stories?

The pic below (click to enlarge) is a reminder of what the sky looked like that day. The big pointy triangle is a Yod, aka finger of fate or finger of God, which was part of all the hoo-ha, as complete Yods are less common than other planet patterns (this is when they have a central line running from point to base within the triangle, formed by two planets standing opposite each other).

 
Anyway turns out of course it wasn't the end of the world, but it felt like it to me, as this was the day I was diagnosed with grade 3 aggressive breast cancer. How mad is that? I do pick my days! And it wasn't intentional to be in hospital that day, believe me; I was supposed to be getting the Christmas turkey from Marks and Spencer, but instead I was being fast tracked in for tests to avoid holiday delay; and I suppose a yod is not known as the finger of fate for nothing. 

The reason I am mentioning this is not just coz it's an unlucky coincidence, but because I am intending looking at some of the astrology of my journey from that day. There were some interesting links between my chart and the Yod chart, and I am noticing that it doesn't end there... events since then are being described perfectly in planet patterns time and time again.

So, I am intrigued enough to go public and make some notes. It's taken me this long to get started coz I am well out of practice blogging! I also had surgery early January to get rid of the tumour and am just feeling back to normal now. I plan to look back at some of the significant events over the past few weeks, including the different kinds of healing I am embarking on; I also have chemo and radiotherapy to go yet, so am curious as to how astrology is going to be playing out during this time for me.

I have decided the message from the universe about my diagnosis was 'it's not the end of the world', but I don't know quite how I feel about seeing the whole thing reflected so vividly in my birth chart and in the current sky map; maybe I will find out the more notes I make? Anyway, that's all for now, more to come soon.

February 2013 Horoscopes

Aries
21st March – 20th April
Your ruling planet Mars is in the mood to go with the flow till midmonth, which sounds a paradox as Mars, like Aries, is a feisty, furious force to be reckoned with, and likes full freedom to follow the call of the latest challenge rather than allow space for others to lead the parade, but it’s all about timing, and midmonth is about the time being right for challenge and action. February is also a social month; a new moon on the 10th symbolises new or renewed friendships; and love and romance has friends as a theme and firm foundation for what comes next.

Taurus
21st April – 21st May
Career and ambition is a strong focus for you from the 2nd, with opportunities emerging around the 6th and a new moon on the 10th symbolising new or alternative choices and decisions to be made regarding this area of your life. There’s also indication of more involvement with groups, gatherings or teams; anything with a shared purpose or collective goal, and from the 23rd there’s the chance to reconnect with places or faces from the past linked to this too. Valentine’s Day looks sweet for romance, though someone’s got their sensible head on, especially after the 18th.

Gemini
22nd May – 21st June
Its full steam ahead this month for career and long-term plans and projects (try not to over reach or over react around the 9th), though it might seem that there’s delays or setbacks at times, especially from the 23rd once your ruler Mercury retrogrades (appears to move backwards) but you’ll find there’s method to the madness as there’s plenty of potential in alternative routes and directions you wouldn’t have noticed had there not been a few (temporary) dead ends, diversions or digressions to encounter. Romance transforms rather than blossoms, and you’re reviewing and reconstructing your approach to health and fitness from the 18th.

Cancer
22nd June – 22nd July
There’s an emphasis on travel and education this month, which can also link to work and career (especially during the first week), but there’s also the idea of travelling and learning as a kind of spiritual journey that broadens the mind and opens the heart to a sense of bigger picture. It’s a sense of oneness you seek out this month, a resonance or familiarity with certain people or places that feels full of information about yourself; all very deep and meaningful perhaps, but enjoyable and enlightening at the same time.

Leo
23rd July – 23rd August
There are signs of important new beginnings within key relationships this month, symbolised by a refreshing new moon on the 10th, so don’t allow restrictions or limits from other areas of your life to impact your feeling of freedom here. Friends are super supportive at this time too, and offer wise insight. Around the 18th your focus shifts more to matters of security, and it’s your own insight and instinct you have the urge to put first. Full moon on the 25th mixes money and friendship in a very healing way; it just needs some balance.

Virgo
24th August – 22nd September
Harmony seeking Venus moves into the problem solving area of your chart from the 2nd, suggesting certain ruffled feathers are being smoothed this month, though there’s still some communication blocks to dissolve, especially around new moon time on the 10th, but in general this is definitely a solution orientated month, and also an important month for relationships too as lots of planets are lining up to suggest your attention drawn deeply in that direction. On the 25th there’s a full moon in your sign that brings out your nurturing side, despite a possible work related stalemate situation.

Libra
23rd September – 23rd October
Your creative focus is strong this month. Yes it’s all about unleashing your inner artist, but it’s also the art of enjoying yourself so don’t forget to have fun too. It’s maybe the second half of February where you look more at the logistics of this, as it is creative vision mixed with practical strategy that really moves you forward. Don’t be afraid to spend time reviewing and revising your approach either, meaning don’t mistake a change of mind or direction for lack of self-discipline or lack of forward-reaching focus. Trust the ebb and flow of how things feel, and accept when things feel right.

Scorpio
24th October – 22nd November
Saturn has been in your sign for some months now, which for example has indicated events cropping up that improved and transformed your communication style and patterns. It also symbolised events calling for your strong, supportive side, and while you were called to support someone else, you also received the benefit of your strength in full flow, renewing confidence and a sense of security. From the 18th until July, Saturn retrogrades (appears to move backwards), indicating a review or restructuring of your responsibilities. Maybe others don’t require your support so much, or perhaps you could do with some yourself. Whatever, Saturn retrograde sorts it.

Sagittarius
23rd November – 21st December
It’s all about communication till midmonth; specifically on acquiring or updating related technology: phones, comp, etc., as indicated by the future focused new moon on the 10th. Even though your priority is the fun and entertainment of it all, around the 15th you’ve got your sensible head when it comes to finance and purchases, so your timing and instinct might be better than around the 9th when your penchant for blind leaps of faith into any situation knows no bounds. There’s a busy full moon on the 25th, suggesting a focus on home and family; with reconnections or reunions from the 23rd onward.

Capricorn
22nd December – 20th January
Your ruling planet Saturn is due to retrograde on the 23rd, till July (where it appears to move backwards). It’s an annual event, and indicates a time of review or assessment, and the chance to see certain circumstances from a different point of view somehow. This retro period looks to be particularly helpful for you regarding your association with groups, gatherings, teamwork and certain friendships. Your participation points to renewal and rebirth, and maybe some plans for productive restructuring or re-arranging an existing set up, as a result of your involvement.

Aquarius
21st January – 18th February
Venus moves into your sign from the 2nd, and is part of a stylish, cutting edge planet alignment on the 6th, suggesting great communication, positive expansion and compatible relationships. There’s a unique new moon in your sign on the 10th too, which helps you look more closely at yourself in the mirror to better appreciate whatever is the difference between you and others. Money matters come strongly to the forefront from the 18th, maybe under some confusion till the 23rd. Long-term plans (especially career) are important too, as there’s restructuring going on from the 18th till July, which will benefit your plans enormously.

Pisces
19th February – 20th March
It’s an unusually busy month for Pisces (but wait till March!), symbolised by up to six planets hanging out in your sign by the end of the month. Lots of planets in one place like this means lots of energy and focus being channelled through you into many areas of your life at once. But far from feeling depleted, you’ll be energised, and that is the key message for Feb for you: the more you do the more energy you will have to flow. It’s a magical month too at times, symbolised by an enchanting full moon on the 25th designed to make dreams come true.

January 2013 horoscopes

late posting :(
will explain in next post, meanwhile here's January...

Aries
21st March – 20th April
A lucky link between your ruling planet Mars and expansion planet Jupiter suggests 2013 gets off to a glittering start (especially around the 4th). Don’t let a friend temporarily undermine your confidence around the 7th though, because new moon on the 11th is all about holding your own, especially when it comes to new work and career plans. At this time, there’s so much planet activity in the career/status section of your chart it can only mean progress and profile-raising is in store (maybe it takes till the end of the month and beyond for communication to pay off though).

Taurus
21st April – 21st May
It’s a month for travel and education, for broadened horizons and big learning curves. Sometimes you find it hard to relax about this, as Taurus tends to pile pressure on self when it comes to travel, even if when its just your hols. The new moon on the 11th focuses on travel and teaching too; suggesting it’s a great time to embark on new journeys of the mind, body, or soul. From the 20th career and ambitions are highlighted; particularly your level of comfort with the way plans stand right now. End of the month is particularly positive for finance and resources.

Gemini
22nd May – 21st June
In general, it’s the second half of the month that feels easiest or most fun for you, maybe from the 19th; but don’t underestimate the power of plodding through the first couple of weeks of 2013, as it’s a really productive time; though intense too (especially around the 6th!). The new moon on the 11th symbolises a whole new start for you in the realm of certain close relationships and also regarding shared finances and resources, and your ruler Mercury changes signs on the 19th suggesting your free spirit seeks up to the minute expression, whether through updated technology or just new winter wardrobe.

Cancer
22nd June – 22nd July
January focuses on your relationships, contracts and agreements, especially relationships of the romantic variety; as in general, all is stable and supportive for matters of the heart (particularly around the 6th when there’s grand potential for sweet and strong unions). The new moon on the 11th symbolises consolidation and commitment, somehow with an air of the unexpected or experimental about the process, and the indications are good for creative projects, and also for anything that needs to be brought to conclusion; no unfinished business here, in other words.

Leo
23rd July – 23rd August
The stage is set for some significant developments in certain relationships, especially in romance. Friendships and team work are highlighted too right now; it’s all about finding ways to make things work between folk, without anyone, including you, having to hide or hold back on what they want. In general it’s a month for biding your time or taking your time; you are good at problem solving in stages, so this shouldn’t be difficult. The benefits of working at this might be more visible by the 27th when a full moon in your sign spotlights your contribution and its consequence


Virgo
24th August – 22nd September
There’s an emphasis on fun and good times this month, as well as creative strength and vision; oh, and throw in a love interest in there as well. It’s a month that pulls on the purse strings as well as the heart strings, especially around the 17th, but it doesn’t mean you can’t get sensible about work when you need to, as events around the 4th and the 22nd show. From the 19th you’re in your element as there’s problem solving and plenty of sorting out to be done; then a nice turning point regarding career and ambition is indicated from the 31st onward; expansion and opportunity beckon.


Libra
23rd September – 23rd October
During week one of Jan, mighty Mars, planet of momentum, meets Jupiter, planet of opportunity and expansion, suggesting it’s a positive and active start to 2013 for you (especially on the 4th). A dip in your energy on the 7th is temporary, as your ruler Venus changes mood on the 9th. This also suggests more focus on home and comfort zone, and new moon on the 11th speaks of new beginnings in this area of your life, with events around the 17th suggesting a transformation or makeover is in store. Fun, romance and socialising comes to the forefront big time from the 19th onward, so enjoy.

Scorpio
24th October – 22nd November
This can be such a productive month for you; there’s a continuation of recent changes and developments you have implemented, and your mood is disciplined, making the most of the structured approach you have been using for a while now. Within this current framework, communication works brilliantly for you; the new moon in this area of your chart on the 11th suggests dialogue and messages now are like seeds that will bear fruit in time. Also, love is deep and intense around 17th, and from the 31st your long held faith in a certain situation is rewarded.

Sagittarius
23rd November – 21st December
There’s cluster of planets in the finance and resources section of your chart for much of the month, suggesting there’s plenty of attention and focus on this area of your life. To get the most from this, keep seeking a firmly positive outlook on events, as whatever you seek you shall find. There’s also a nice emphasis on communication too, with word of mouth opportunities, especially around the 4th and 22nd. Your ruler Jupiter changes direction on the 31st; symbolising, among other things, a welcome change of direction in key relationships.

Capricorn
22nd December – 20th January
The planetary attention is firmly on you this month. There’s a line-up of planets in your sign that suggests you might be feeling in demand from different directions at once. Far from feeling exhausted by this, the indications are you will thrive; just don’t fall for thinking that your energy is limited, only your time is. The spiritual rule of thumb regarding energy levels is the more you focus on the enjoyment factor, or the value factor, the more energy you generate to meet the task ahead. Also, structuring your time your way is important at the moment, so don’t swap your schedule to be polite.

Aquarius
21st January – 18th February
Think of the first half of January as the preparation time; it’s productive, no matter how quiet things might seem on the surface as there’s plenty going on within you that is paving the way for new developments, especially career-wise. Get into meditation if you haven’t already, sleep when you need to, and find plenty to laugh about, as this all will keep you from getting in your own way and keep your intuition and inspiration flowing when you need it. Then from the 20th, the sun rises into your sign, symbolising a bright new beginning to get 2013 off in just the way you’ve been planning.

Pisces
19th February – 20th March
Commitments to friends, groups and gatherings are at the forefront till midmonth. Probably at times you might feel you’ve over-committed yourself, but it doesn’t stop you signing up for more too, especially around the 11th, when you are happy to book in advance or look long-term too. It’s because you enjoy playing a supportive role within the team or crowd, so it’s a responsibility that doesn’t feel a chore to carry. From the 20th, your mood might be more reflective than usual, or retreat seeking for a while. Again, you are comfortable with this kind of vibe, so it’s easy to go with that flow.

December 2012 Horoscopes

December 21st 2012, is a date long awaited by some folk as its the end of a 5000 year cycle in the ancient Mayan calendar. Drama queens eagerly suggest it means the end of the world is nigh, and use the unusual pattern of planets on the 21st, called a Yod (aka the finger of fate or destiny) as evidence. But 2012 has been a year where we all moved into new territory on a personal level, shifting from old mind-sets to a whole new world somehow. In this context, the end of the old world has already happened, and the Dec 21st Yod simply focuses on what comes next, the new cycle underway. To find out what this means for you read on….


Aries
21st March – 20th April
‘Be the change you want to see’ said Ghandi, and you were certainly a conduit and catalyst for change this year. Driven by an intense desire for more freedom to be yourself, particularly regarding career and status, you have been willing to roll with the punches and move with the times on this, though with an uneasy acceptance of progress, as impatience about the long-term goal sometimes made you short-sighted about what you’ve achieved so far. But you finally seem to be getting the message this month that it’s the journey as well as the destination you have to take credit for.


Taurus
21st April – 21st May
You’ve been on a real learning curve this year, maybe literally through education or via the kind of experience that only travel can bring, but however it happened it broadened your mind and opened your eyes to new views and perspectives you might not have thought possible a few years ago. This month you are challenged to put your money where your wisdom is and invest in the power of your own experience. Trust you now know who and what to trust, then share your joy accordingly.


Gemini
22nd May – 21st June
What is about to be offered, via an important new or existing relationship, is a chance to express the you that you’ve been quietly getting up to speed with this year. This is the updated you, with needs and preferences based on where you are now, and where you’re now heading, rather than who you used to be. It’s taken this long to get here, so enjoy and savour the opportunity to encounter so much more of yourself via relationships; including one in particular.

Cancer
22nd June – 22nd July
Paradoxically, it’s been a steady, stable harmony or agreement with a certain person or situation that inspired your urge for some alone time. Kind of like feeling that someone you trust has your back, it means you are free to relax and retreat. There’s a healing element to all this, with a rather spiritual tone, as the sense of wholeness you thought could only come from certain circumstances or people, you find freely available within you, thanks to your willingness to make your own positive reflection your priority (especially around the 28th)

Leo
23rd July – 23rd August
The adjustments you’ve been choosing to make (or sometimes feeling slightly pushed to make), particularly regarding home and family, might pay off this month as its time to give yourself a break and focus more fully on fun and friendship, and you’ll find those adjustments ensure the best possible opportunities arrive to do just that. It’s a full on full moon for you around the 28th, as it carries the theme of rebirth and renewal; perfect timing for the end of an era and beginning of a new you.

Virgo
24th August – 22nd September
There have been certain limits and restrictions placed on you this year that have actually helped rather than hindered your creative output in all kinds of ways, especially recently. A bit of pressure and the call for more discipline just fires your creative juices rather than dampens your spirits. The next step in this points to opportunities appearing, maybe career or financial related, that you might not know what to do with at first. It’s just requires some adjustment however, and events at the moment seem designed to help you with that.

Libra
23rd September – 23rd October
With the sun moving into your home and family angle from the 21st, it’s a time when your comfort zone can get quite crowded with visitors, and what happens around the 28th indicates a need to let go of trying to control that comfort zone and trust the process. In general, 2012 has had a family and finances theme, which is going to benefit from some great communication this month. Harmonious debate and dialogue is your aim.

Scorpio
24th October – 22nd November
You’ve had to be disciplined with yourself this year, as the urge for a total transformation of circumstances is always strong in you but you’ve been learning it serves you best to approach it in stages. This has been easier to achieve since October, and feels even easier this month, though part of this involves speaking up or speaking out about what or who you value most, which is always a challenge for Scorpio to admit. Also, what happens around the 28th is significant for long-term plans and ambitions.

Sagittarius
23rd November – 21st December
You’ve felt tested to the max in certain situations this year, over themes relating to security, stability, and self-esteem. In the darkest moments, support came where you least expected it, via some quiet moments with yourself, and you learned that keeping the faith is easier without others opinions getting in the way. However you seem to be now called to share your message of optimism with others. It’s certainly the most magical time of year for it.

Capricorn
22nd December – 20th January
This year there’s been nothing like knowing you are the boss to brighten your mood, and you play the provider role effortlessly, which has all helped so much regarding a responsibility you feel towards certain groups and gatherings. You have been feeling blessed by the growing sense of community and friendship, and there’s a particular focus on those relationships this month (especially around 28th), and it benefits you to invest your attention there, even though some adjustments may have to be made.

Aquarius
21st January – 18th February
This year, bringing structure and definition to your deepest, dearest held plans and ambitions has involved taking a behind the scenes role somehow, especially regarding work and career. It has allowed you the greatest chance for full concentration and commitment, with an almost obsessive approach to focusing on the task at hand. Now you are being challenged to relax, let go, and feed the fun-seeker in you. Can you cope with trusting all the moving parts to work without all your attention? You are about to find out.


Pisces
19th February – 20th March
Friendship and travel have blended well this year. So have friendship and education, and also finding like minds who share views and opinions that are important to you. All this pointed to a more expanded comfort zone for you; a feeling that family can mean so much more than you thought. This month there’s a suggestion that you are again looking long term linked to this; maybe through work and career perhaps? What happens around the 28th firms up the courage of your conviction regarding this.

April Horoscopes

I'm taking a break from horoscopes for a short while, but will be back, till then, here's what's happening for April... :)


Aries
21st March – 20th April
The full moon on the 6th links to your relationships; there’s a balance you are seeking, an emotional stability that you feel ready for, and the full moon amplifies this by initially drawing your attention to areas of instability. Saturn, planet of structure and foundation, helps with this around the 15th, as does Mars moving forward on the 16th, and a positive new moon in your resources chart on the 21st indicates new feelings of security around you. Communication planet Mercury is in your sign from 16th, with unexpected results on the 22nd and intense career focus around 25th.

Taurus
21st April – 21st May
It’s a struggle to find a clear focus on anything during the first week of April unless you get clear on what you want, and the full moon on the 6th brings all this to a messy, unscheduled, and disorganized head. Big turning points in key relationships and creative projects coincide with Mars moving forward from the 14th, after a long spell of backtracking over old ground, and confidence and charisma gets a boost when the sun moves into your sign from the 19th. Finally, an awesome new moon in your sign on the 21st encourages all the right moves at the right times.

Gemini
22nd May – 21st June
Excellent beginning to the month; Venus in your sign from the 3rd indicates an easy harmony with yourself and others, as well as your cash flow. Your ruler Mercury moves forward from the 4th, coinciding with some kind of turnaround linked to work and career that you’ve been waiting for, but don’t discount your own value around full moon time on the 6th. From the 14th there’s action on certain home and family matters at last, and from the 16th social life increases and you feel comfy in a crowd, especially when friends bring out your unconventional side around the 22nd.

Cancer
22nd June – 22nd July
You are so in the mood for your own comfort zones around full moon on the 6th. Don’t fight it; nurture and nourish are the keywords. And be patient with communications that feel as if they are going to run out of steam, especially on the work/career front, because after the 14th there’s a welcome turnaround that moves things along nicely, though unpredictably around the 22nd and with intensity around 25th. Love is also getting intense and a bit challenging at that time due to circumstances beyond your control, but by the 28th there’s sunshine and sweetness on offer, especially from friends and social life.


Leo
23rd July – 23rd August
From the 4th and 14th, Mercury and Mars stop taking backward steps and move forward again, which coincides with a change of mind and approach in you; now you are ready to stop second guessing and trust your urge to take action, especially on issues that are shrouded in unknown or uncontrollable factors. The sun moves into your career and status chart from the 19th which means aims and ambitions have got your attention; the new moon here on the 21st shows it’s time for a step up the ladder of success, and the 28th indicates a kind of clear the clutter phase regarding daily routine and schedules.


Virgo
24th August – 22nd September
From the 3rd, linking to career and status especially, there’s plenty of harmony and resonance with those that matter (but maybe wobbly around the 6th when an emotional full moon triggers self-worth issues). From the 4th your ruler Mercury stops moving backwards, which gives you plenty to look forward to, and from the 14th, action planet Mars does the same - no more looking back or holding back - it’s all about the future and getting the ball rolling on what’s important to you now, ending a more reflective, thoughtful, less than active phase that has been going on since late January.

Libra
23rd September – 23rd October
The full moon in your sign on the 6th is about sorting out priorities right now; what feels balanced, what feels a little out of touch with what you prefer? Relationships in general are moving forward from the 14th, but especially regarding romance; no more feeling like fate is thwarting your best efforts, things feel much more straightforward, especially from the 21st, which marks a new stage in trust and intimacy. Final week is challenging for signing on dotted line of anything; there’s unpredictable or unexpected elements on the 22nd and hidden dynamics on the 25th that make any process feel heavier than usual.

Scorpio
24th October – 22nd November
Things move forward regarding creative projects from the 4th, but handle friendships or group involvement with a bit of care at that time as confusion or misunderstandings are too easy till around the 21st. In love, partners are more clued up about what they want than you are; what happens around the full moon on the 6th reveals just how oblivious you are. Things become more settled by the 19th on this; especially after your relationship new moon on the 21st which coincides with either a brand new phase in existing relationships or a shiny new romance designed to make you sparkle.

Sagittarius
23rd November – 21st December
Venus moves into your love sign from the 3rd, which means things are looking up in love, though watch your imagination doesn’t play tricks on you during full moon time around the 6th as it’s easy to think the worst, but also don’t let others define your level of power in a situation. Mars moves forward on the 14th, first time since January, so this coincides with a big turning point regarding career/status maybe that was on hold for a while. New moon on the 21st is also highlighted regarding this; there’s positive change and new momentum in daily routine and schedules especially linking to career.


Capricorn
22nd December – 20th January
Communication you’ve been waiting for gets moving after the 4th; just ready for an emotionally expressive full moon time to move you to speak your heart about current aims and ambitions. Your relentless urge for transformation has fixated on a quest for a totally new you for quite some time, but this mother of all make-overs is changing pace for now. Don’t let lack of confidence hold you back around the 15th, and don’t let family issues rain on your parade around the 25th; hold to that and rewards are seen from the 28th when the change of pace reveals a change you were seeking all along.

Aquarius
21st January – 18th February
Mercury ends backward steps in your finance and resources chart from the 4th, which indicates communication moving things forward after recent delays. Big dreams occupy your mind around full moon on the 6th, so don’t let practicalities put you off, let your imagination wander. Mars moves forward for first time since late January from the 14th, symbolising your willingness to trust yourself to the unknown a bit more and linking to this, relationships are likely to feel more settled and secure from the 19th simply because you are more settled and secure within yourself. Around the 22nd expect the unexpected regarding communication, news and information.


Pisces
19th February – 20th March
Mercury stops moving backwards in your sign from the 4th, which indicates a positive change of mind or turning point regarding your approach with others in certain situations; suddenly you know what to say and how to respond (new moon on the 21st symbolises clear and successful communication too). Love and romance is also highlighted all month. Around the 6th it’s to do with trust, intimacy and questions of how much is too much revealed on an emotional level, then from the 14th actions speak louder than words, for the first time since late January.

March Horoscopes

Aries
21st March – 20th April
March has a fairly straightforward feel, but it’s not flat or boring. First week you might be breaking boundaries or breaking hearts when it comes to relationships. Mercury retrogrades in Aries from the 12th indicating a change of mind coming from you that alters your direction or approach to certain situations significantly. Midmonth is particularly amazing for a make-over of career/long-term plans, and you might notice links to November 2011 with this too. From 20th the sun hits your sign for a few weeks, symbolising new activity of a unique and original nature; especially around new moon time on the 22nd.

Taurus
21st April – 21st May
Your ruler Venus moves into your sign from the 5th. Venus is a Goddess because she knows her own worth, so expect plenty of opportunity to know yours too, especially when it comes to friendship and group participation as it’s a sweetly social month but also a time for claiming your own creative power, especially around the 13th when Venus reminds you that you are your own lucky charm, so don’t bother believing the power is outside of you. Mercury retrograde from the 12th might mean insomnia at times, but sleepless nights brings brainwaves and inspired ideas around the 29th.

Gemini
22nd May – 21st June
Social life suddenly steps up a gear or two during first week, which takes your mind off work/home conflicts of attention (all amplified on the 4th). Your ruler Mercury goes retrograde from the 12th, which changes the pace of your involvement with groups, gatherings and friendships, perhaps in a way that re-opens past connections in some way too (especially around 18th), but can also lead to new contacts and connections from the 20th. Midmonth there’s a special pattern of planets that echo events last November. Unfinished business is back again for the purpose of moving you forward emotionally, so trust the process.

Cancer
22nd June – 22nd July
The full moon on the 8th might bring certain conflicts to conclusion thanks to good communication opening minds and hearts to solutions. Midmonth love and romance gets deep, meaningful and transformative (especially on 13th), and it’s also a month for setting strong new career/ambition intentions, with Mercury retrograde from the 12th encouraging a review of aims and ideas, and the sun bursting into life in this angle of your chart from the 20th, boosting creativity, while a fab new moon here on the 22nd gives the green light to any plans featuring an alternative or unusual approach.

Leo
23rd July – 23rd August
You’re in the mood for new horizons, whether it’s literally travelling, or whether it’s expanding your mind through education and learning, but with Mercury retrograde from the 12th, it’s likely to include a revisit or reconnection with the past in some way. The new moon on the 22nd is all about the new experiences that unexpected or unpredictable journeys can bring, so embrace delays or schedule changes, and don’t get too attached to a certain destination being ‘the one’. Midmonth is superb for career expansion and daily routine make-over, while relationships are awakening you to new perspective of yourself.

Virgo
24th August – 22nd September
Your ruler Mercury moves into your house of trust and intimacy from the 2nd, and it’s all about speaking your truth and trusting what happens next. Events around the 4th act as a trigger for this, and a full moon in your sign on the 8th brings certain aspects to an emotional head. Mercury retrogrades from the 12th, symbolising a change of mind about your approach, and the new moon on the 22nd might bring some surprising or unexpected revelations from you or others on a truth-telling theme. The 13th is worth making a note of; it’s important unfinished business with links to last November.

Libra
23rd September – 23rd October
It’s all about relationships this month. First week of March you’re at odds with yourself; arguing for limitations and feeling a pendulum swing of emotions. But Midmonth you’ve had enough of that; Mercury retrograde from the 12th, symbolises a review process underway, which can reconnect you to who you really feel you want to be as a partner. What happened last November is somehow important again around the 13th, and the sun sheds a warm glow on relationships from the 20th; a fabulously unpredictable new moon on the 22nd reveals events designed to shatter the limitations that felt so hindering earlier in the month.

Scorpio
24th October – 22nd November
The relationship road is a little bumpy first half of March; others stand up to your shadow side when you’re in full flow, but this just inspires respect and awe from you, after all there’s nothing to contend with like a Scorpio shadow. Enjoy events mid-month; there’s a very special planet pattern for you at that time that can make life and love feel you’re in heaven with the door shut. There’s some kind of connection with events last November too in this; maybe unfinished business? Day to day routines and schedule’s need sorting from the 12th, and a new design for the day is ushered in from the 22nd.

Sagittarius
23rd November – 21st December
Creative work is a bigger focus for you from the 2nd, and perhaps more so from the 12th when Mercury retrogrades (appears to move backwards), symbolising changes of direction or a turnaround in your approach… basically it all goes a bit retro creatively; and also in love too, as you reconnect with faces or places from your romantic past. Watch what happens around the 22nd in all this as the new moon is throwing some welcome surprises your way. Events around midmonth, especially around the 13th, are worth staying positive about; it’s uplifting, transformative and possibly work or ambition related, with links to late last November.

Capricorn
22nd December – 20th January
Your ruler Saturn is retrograde right now (appearing to move backwards) so retreading old ground and past history has got your attention (especially first week of March). So it might not be the easiest task to stay present at times, but the here and now is where it’s at this month. In other words don’t close down or shut others out; hear them where they are right now. And stay open for creative inspiration for a project, especially around the 13th, as a fabulous unusual planet pattern is around midmonth that has positive transformation and expansion for you stamped all over it.

Aquarius
21st January – 18th February
What happens around the 4th in particular speaks of self-doubt reflecting through circumstances; in other words, external tensions and pressures are mirroring inner conflicts and second guessing. There might be a bit of this connected to communication once Mercury retrogrades from the 12th too. Backtracking and changes of pace can be frustrating, but it all adds up to a stronger urge for some freedom of mind via freedom of expression, something which the new moon shouts on about for you, around the 22nd. Also, midmonth there’s some emotional alchemy; don’t push away negative feeling, there’s treasure in there somewhere.


Pisces
19th February – 20th March
A full moon in your house of relationships on the 8th brings out into the open any criticism or judgments you’ve been trying to keep to yourself about a certain someone. Unexpected perhaps, but it can clear clutter between you. Midmonth your words are extra powerful and have impact, so use them wisely. There’s something that links back to late November in this, perhaps via dialogue or messages. Also there’s strong focus on finance: from the 12th you are reviewing your approach in this area of your life, and around 22nd there’s fabulous new ideas and intentions that keep turning into flurries of activity.
