Aries
21st March – 20th April
Uranus, planet of independence, individuality and electric atmospheres, is moving into your sign from the 13th, to stay till 2018. It’s a planet famous for unpredictable, out of the blue style of expression – it works like lightning - which fits well with the preferred Aries schedule of instant manifestation, and is also known as the awakener, because of its wake up and smell the coffee approach to life; so it’s a pretty compatible energy with the Aries nature. Things get instantly interesting around the 21st, when the sun moves into your sign and joins the new vibe; it’s about freedom without compromise.
Taurus
21st April – 21st May
There’s a lot of focus around group activities and gatherings, whether social or work orientated, it’s all about your place within the crowd, and the sense of purpose you feel for being there. New moon on the 4th is emphasising this, most likely ushering in a feeling of new phases or stages in group endeavours and friendships. Meanwhile, Uranus (the awakener), moves into the sleep and dreams section of your chart; yes, it might mean insomnia till you adjust to the energy (especially around the 21st), but it’s really all about becoming more conscious of yourself at deeper levels.
Gemini
22nd May – 21st June
There’s a new moon in your house of career and ambition on the 4th, which symbolises the new feelings you have about long-term future direction. There’s a lot of planet activity in this area of your chart right now, and it does reflect a busy time, but all in the characteristic go with the flow, que sera attitude that you approach career climbing with. However, as far as friendships, groups, and teamwork goes, you are taking much more of an assertive stance than of late, especially when unconventional Uranus moves to this angle from the 13th (till 2018!). It’s a liberating feeling.
Cancer
22nd June – 22nd July
First half of the month has a strong emphasis on travel and new horizons, and even if the travel is about duty and obligation, there’s still going to be a sense of escapism for you, as it’s on the move, no matter what the destination, that you feel most yourself right now. There’s likely to be some exciting work developments this month, as planets are beginning to collect in this area of your chart in a significant way, including Uranus, who until 2018 is set to shake things up here. There’s no getting stuck in a rut, that’s for sure.
Leo
23rd July – 23rd August
The new moon on the 4th happens in the section of your chart that deals with trust. It means you are incubating new feelings towards situations that have the element of the unknown or unknowable about them, and it’s about letting go of the need to know, as that’s actually what frees up what you need to know to come to you; the universe is just funny that way. Also this month, Uranus moves into the beliefs and perspectives area of your chart till 2018. Uranus moves and shakes anything old and out-dated, and you might feel the power of that around the 21st.
Virgo
24th August – 22nd September
There’s a whole lot of focus on relationships for much of the month; there’s quite a line-up of planets in this area of your chart, including a soft and sensual new moon around the 4th. The message of the month is that you are seeking beyond the superficial; you want depth not shallow emotional waters. This is liberating around the 9th, and from the 13th it’s direct and up front. The full moon in your sign on the 19th attempts to end stalemates and move stuck emotions, but there’s something you are digging your heels in about, so let it go.
Libra
23rd September – 23rd October
For the next 7 years Uranus, the planet of freedom, is moving through the relationship area of your chart. It means your priority is developing relationships that are more in line with your authentic individual nature, and detaching and cutting ties if necessary, from limiting or conditional experiences. This is a process and it’s going to lead to some exploring and balancing of priorities; particularly at the end of the month during the clash between Saturn (limits) and Jupiter (opportunities). Meanwhile, love feels fulfilling around the 10th and 14th, and electric around the 21st.
Scorpio
24th October – 22nd November
Especially the first half of the month, the emphasis is on fun and entertainment and the new moon in this area of your chart on the 4th symbolises new experiences and new fulfilment in store. This also includes new forms of creative expression too, so it’s time to follow your heart on anything you enjoy. Also, Uranus, the planet that rules anything unconventional and alternative, is moving into your health and wellbeing chart for the next 7 years, which brings a new sense of freedom and choice in your approach to wellbeing. What happens around the 21st gives you a peek at the possibilities.
Sagittarius
23rd November – 21st December
From the 13th, Uranus, planet of invention and individuality, is beginning a 7 year journey through the part of your chart associated with creative expression. Uranus energy tends to shake up the old ways and prefers the roads less travelled; it’s always a breath of fresh air, but it can be hard work at times because of the sudden and unexpected way it manifests through situations; so basically, it’s time to expect the unexpected as far as following your heart goes. This is good around the 27th, when you are faced with some familiar feeling limitations.
Capricorn
22nd December – 20th January
Big emphasis on communication; beginning with a go with the flow new moon on the 4th, inspiring deep and emotional conversation during March that can hold its purpose rather than getting lost in its own intensity, so it’s transforming and productive. Uranus, planet of sudden breaks, begins a journey through the comfort zone part of your chart for the next 7 years. It can mean unexpected adventures that stretch your comfort zone are to be expected, as well as restlessness and boredom during quiet times; the final week of March might give you a taste of things to come in this respect.
Aquarius
21st January – 18th February
It’s an exciting month for Aquarius; your ruler, the infinitely innovative Uranus, is changing signs, and for the next 7 years will be influencing the communication part of your chart. This is also the part of the chart that connects dots, moves from A to B, and makes sure everything adds up; so there’s likely to be an extra dimension or two, maybe bridged by the odd time-portal and wormhole, if Uranus is the dominating presence. As an attractive opener, events around the 21st look interesting for relationships, when communication is unexpectedly enlightening and electric.
Pisces
19th February – 20th March
There’s a strong Pisces flavour to the planets for much of the month, which means the world feels more on your wavelength and you’re in your element whatever the circumstance. A beautiful new moon in your sign on the 4th works as an incubator for your dreams and visions, so work with your imagination as it’s working with you. Uranus leaves your sign from the 13th (it’s been there since about 2003!), so think back to big changes since then; Uranus is now influencing money and property matters, and there’s a bold and radical approach at times (for example around the 21st).

February 2011 Horoscopes
Aries
21st March – 20th April
It’s all about your participation with the group for much of Feb; it’s revolving around friendships, teamwork, and the feeling of your place within all that. There’s interesting gatherings; some spring from duty and obligation, but all are about like-minds and kindred souls. There’s a new vibe coming in that takes you to new places, and later in the month that takes you to new places within yourself, and you don’t mind the alone time that a bit of reflection and introspection requires as a result. Added to this is work-orientated challenge: the 10th and 25th might feel emotionally intense, but always productive.
Taurus
21st April – 21st May
There’s likely to be welcome developments on the career front, symbolised by a new moon bringing in new energy to that area of your life from the 3rd. It’s easy to overdo it on the 5th; then around the 10th events press buttons and bring up deep feelings to process. Around the 18th, it’s hard to believe dreams can still materialise, especially when your efforts to organise them keep hitting walls, but stand your ground as help is at hand from the 19th. Opportunities come from nowhere in the final week and because of that, you take your time trusting them.
Gemini
22nd May – 21st June
Let your good ideas be a bit illogical if they need to be; ideas that are ahead of their time always seem this way, so don’t try too hard to ground them in the reality of what you know to be true today, just give yourself the freedom to hold them in mind. By the 14th there might be rewards for doing this, though the energy of the full moon on the 18th makes it easy to lose sight of that. From the 19th career plans are on the go and in full flow; finally, around the 25th a friend needs your faith.
Cancer
22nd June – 22nd July
You are seeking out unconventional paths in your quest for freedom, and the new moon on the 3rd indicates this has positive results for you. Even though there might be ups and downs as the month unfolds, the new moon energy symbolises there’s a core stability at the heart of where you are with yourself right now, which carries you through situations over the coming weeks in a satisfying way. Relationships are intense and intimate around the 10th, future focused around the 14th, and full of self-doubt around the 21st. Work relationships are hard to keep in perspective around the 25th, but keep trying.
Leo
23rd July – 23rd August
Lots happening in your world of relationships for much of the month; especially during the first week, when there’s indications new beginnings and fresh starts with momentum that lasts, rather than just good intentions that fizzle quicker than a new year resolution. It might feel it’s going that way around the full moon in your sign on the 18th; around that time there’s a slippery atmosphere that’s difficult to pin down, not helped by communication blocks, but keep the faith as planets are then helping you to see into the unknown and to trust your instincts, so there’s no getting off track.
Virgo
24th August – 22nd September
There’s plenty of scope to do what you do best this month: you are the problem-solver and the solution seeker, and up to around the 19th this is what situations call from you; it’s all very satisfying to the soul during the first week, especially around the new moon on the 3rd as the energy is constructive and ideas are easy to act upon. Around the 18th there’s a financial focus, with a pressure to see the positive. The emphasis shifts to relationship issues after the 19th; you are not a particularly confrontational person, and some situations seem to keep reminding you of that.
Libra
23rd September – 23rd October
The emphasis is on fun and good times up to midmonth; it seems that much of February is for entertainment purposes only. Valentine’s day has a special feel as far as communication goes; it’s all very clear and straightforward. Around the 18th your ruler Venus has a difficult meeting with limit-bound Saturn, which means it’s difficult (but not impossible) to see past obstacles, so use the go with the flow energy that comes through after the 19th to keep you moving in areas that you can move, until other situations catch up. Keep the faith, and your perspective in check around the 25th.
Scorpio
24th October – 22nd November
There’s lots of energy focused on situations involving home and family ties; basically, it’s your comfort zone you’re working on to find more freedom to enjoy. Freedom is a state of mind of course, which is the message of the new moon on the 3rd; and your motivation and impulse to action arises from the clarity you receive early Feb. From the 19th you’re making more time to enjoy yourself and matters of the heart are at the forefront. A powerful Jupiter/Pluto link around the 25th indicates that just because you have an intense view, it’s not the only right one.
Sagittarius
23rd November – 21st December
You are finding your freedom regarding communication this month, especially during a supportive new moon on the 3rd, which is encouraging for a new message you feel you are wanting to get across. Valentine’s day is about friendship that might become more, and again, communication is the key. Don’t let limits grind you down around the 18th, and allow yourself more comfort zone time after the 18th. The final week feels intense at times; you are shedding skins to reveal a new you, but there’s a temporary discomfort in letting the old you go.
Capricorn
22nd December – 20th January
First week of Feb is fabulous for progress in long-term plans, especially career plans, as well as a really good vibe for finances, where things can move forward nicely, and current limits also hold a firm foundation for the future. Don’t push for it (especially around the 5th), stay with the available moves. Love planet Venus meets seductive Pluto in your sign on the 10th, which might make for a memorable Valentine’s day, but Venus challenges Saturn around the 18th, which puts temporary pressure on relationships. Your comfort zone feels invaded around 25th; but it’s you getting in your own way.
Aquarius
21st January – 18th February
Fabulous month Aquarius! Too much to mention here, but thumbnail sketch is: do enjoy the new moon in your sign on the 3rd; it’s spectacular for clarity, momentum and good timing; not just that day, but for days ahead. The 14th is a love fest, Aquarian style, and around the 19th, a Mars/Mercury/Neptune line-up indicates at best a wild telepathic sensitivity to your environment and beyond; at worst a sense of confusion that wrecks motivation. It’s all to do with what you see reality as being capable of, and that’s a subjective thing, despite what people would have you believe.
Pisces
19th February – 20th March
There’s a number of key planets in go with the flow mode, but this suits you just fine as it’s your default setting anyway; so while some situations seem to be out of your hands, if you find your comfort with that, things work your way somehow. It’s most intense around the 18th at full moon, as there’s so much happening it’s easier to notice the pattern you are in, but as the sun moves into your sign from the 19th, along with Mars and Mercury soon after, you’re going to be feeling as if you are back in the driving seat, and others know this too.

January 2011 Horoscopes
Aries
21st March – 20th April
There’s a new moon eclipse on the 4th focusing on career and ambition, adding to the momentum you’ve already got going on this recently. New moons indicate a new feeling or impulse brewing, and eclipses help to ground and make sense of this new emotional direction. There seems to be a theme revolving around relationships within this, where there’s the feeling of having to overcome brick walls and limits, in the reservations of others. Jupiter moving into your sign this month helps with this, as does the change in how you view all this that comes with Saturn retrograde after the 25th.
Taurus
21st April – 21st May
The new moon eclipse on the 4th is about travel and education for you; it’s mind-expanding experiences you are after really, so anything that takes you there is going to catch your eye this month (and beyond as eclipses usually have far-reaching effects). Your ruler Venus is in the mood for the adventure of the unknown from the 7th, and the experience hungry Jupiter is in go with the flow mode for the foreseeable from the 23rd, so it’s likely there’s no stone left unturned in your quest for some meaningful moments capturing and contemplating your views of the bigger picture and your place within it.
Gemini
22nd May – 21st June
It’s a busy month for Gemini; there are answers to questions and solutions to problems, usually arriving when you least expect them and when you aren’t hitting the issue head on. For example, beware of clashing perspectives around the 11th; let others have their view and you’ll find your position becomes more stable. There’s info coming to light around the 18th that transforms a situation (maybe links back to December), and harmony seeking Venus moves into your relationship zone from the 7th. Also, opportunity planet Jupiter influences social life from the 23rd, and don’t let communication blocks get you down around the 25th.
Cancer
22nd June – 22nd July
Both the new moon on the 4th and the full moon on the 19th are significant for you this month. The new moon eclipse in your house of relationships indicates a new emotional direction coming into view over the coming weeks or months in this area of your life (especially around the 25th). The full moon is in your sign on the 19th, and it’s about emotional fulfilment - or the feeling of lack of it - and it can help move your emotions forward in situations that have felt stuck. Oh, and opportunity planet Jupiter moves into your career and status zone from the 23rd.
Leo
23rd July – 23rd August
On the 4th, there’s a new moon eclipse influencing your approach to health and wellbeing. This is the time of New Year resolutions and this eclipse is suggesting you have the longterm view and commitment to see your preferences through for the long haul. It’s a great month for developing a workable plan of action, as you’re prepared to take things step by step, but allow for changes to plans from the 25th, as a review may be required. Also, both Mars and the sun move into your relationship zone (16th and 20th), focusing your attention in the kind of way that makes things happen.
Virgo
24th August – 22nd September
Fun and amusement is something you take very seriously at the moment, with so many planets focusing energy in this area of your chart right now, including a new moon eclipse on the 4th, which makes entertainment a sort of New Year’s resolution. Linked to this somehow is a focus on finances, especially around the 25th, when Saturn retrograde indicates a necessary turning point or change in your attitude on this. Relationships can be suddenly stormy around the 11th when it’s too easy to get the wrong end of the stick; and deep around the 18th, when you or others feel secretive or silent.
Libra
23rd September – 23rd October
It’s a significant month for Libra: Jupiter, planet of positivity, optimism and opportunity moves into your relationship zone for the foreseeable from the 23rd. Jupiter brings expansion and opens doors, as well as providing a refreshing sense of meaning and purpose to what it touches, so both new and existing connections are going to benefit hugely from this influence. Just what you need when a new moon eclipse on the 4th challenges your comfort zone and close emotional attachments. Saturn retrogrades in your sign from the 25th, which might have you changing your approach to a lot of situations; even retreating from some (for now).
Scorpio
24th October – 22nd November
There’s a new moon eclipse influencing all communication on the 4th. Eclipses tend to have longterm effects, so events around that time are likely to prove significant in the long run, or be far reaching somehow; which might be interesting, as at the same time, love planet Venus is in your sign putting a romantic twist on certain situations and a financial focus on others. Jupiter moves into the health and wellbeing angle of your chart from the 23rd; firstly it increases energy levels hugely, but also it increases your positive outlook and expectation – if it feels good, it is good, is the Jupiter motto.
Sagittarius
23rd November – 21st December
2011 kicks off with a new moon eclipse in your house of finances on the 4th. Eclipses are associated with significant events that trigger longterm changes; here it’s about a different approach to current limitation or obstacles, as there’s a strong Saturn link (especially around the 25th). There’s unpredictable energy around the 11th, which presses your buttons big style, and the challenge is to keep reaching for the positive perspective of others, even when it’s hard to see. But good news comes from loved-up Venus entering your sign from the 7th, and your ruler Jupiter starting a mega fun-filled adventure from the 23rd.
Capricorn
22nd December – 20th January
There’s a new moon eclipse in your sign on the 4th. This is big news for Cap, as it means whatever happens around that time is going to help set your direction for the new year ahead. It’s likely that you are looking longterm at that time, and thinking about career or ambitions, and of ways to overcome setbacks or obstacles; and this is what the eclipse highlights or magnifies in you, especially emotionally. Your ruler Saturn goes retrograde (appears to move backwards) on the 25th, and it doesn’t mean a wrong turn, more like time out to review current approach to plans.
Aquarius
21st January – 18th February
There’s a lot that feels out of your hands for much of the month, and the challenge is to go with the flow without feeling at the mercy of uncontrollable factors. Not easy with a powerful new moon eclipse on the 4th, and an intense meeting between Mercury/Pluto on the 18th. But from the 16th, Mars moves into your sign, followed by the sun from the 20th. This is going to brighten your view considerably, and added to that, Jupiter starts its long journey through your communication zone from the 23rd, so it’s likely there’s good news to give and receive on the way.
Pisces
19th February – 20th March
Magnetic Venus moves into your career and ambition zone from the 7th, helping to smooth your path forward and attract the right people your way. This helps counteract some challenging energies in situations and guides you to the path of least resistance, especially related to groups or gatherings, or any situation that currently feels like an unknown quantity or that has hidden depths. Lucky planet Jupiter moves into your house of finances from the 23rd, which is always a healthy, helpful influence to have around as Jupiter brings endless opportunity for increase (although that means in spending too).
21st March – 20th April

Fun and amusement is something you take very seriously at the moment, with so many planets focusing energy in this area of your chart right now, including a new moon eclipse on the 4th, which makes entertainment a sort of New Year’s resolution. Linked to this somehow is a focus on finances, especially around the 25th, when Saturn retrograde indicates a necessary turning point or change in your attitude on this. Relationships can be suddenly stormy around the 11th when it’s too easy to get the wrong end of the stick; and deep around the 18th, when you or others feel secretive or silent.
Libra
23rd September – 23rd October
It’s a significant month for Libra: Jupiter, planet of positivity, optimism and opportunity moves into your relationship zone for the foreseeable from the 23rd. Jupiter brings expansion and opens doors, as well as providing a refreshing sense of meaning and purpose to what it touches, so both new and existing connections are going to benefit hugely from this influence. Just what you need when a new moon eclipse on the 4th challenges your comfort zone and close emotional attachments. Saturn retrogrades in your sign from the 25th, which might have you changing your approach to a lot of situations; even retreating from some (for now).
Scorpio
24th October – 22nd November
There’s a new moon eclipse influencing all communication on the 4th. Eclipses tend to have longterm effects, so events around that time are likely to prove significant in the long run, or be far reaching somehow; which might be interesting, as at the same time, love planet Venus is in your sign putting a romantic twist on certain situations and a financial focus on others. Jupiter moves into the health and wellbeing angle of your chart from the 23rd; firstly it increases energy levels hugely, but also it increases your positive outlook and expectation – if it feels good, it is good, is the Jupiter motto.
Sagittarius
23rd November – 21st December
2011 kicks off with a new moon eclipse in your house of finances on the 4th. Eclipses are associated with significant events that trigger longterm changes; here it’s about a different approach to current limitation or obstacles, as there’s a strong Saturn link (especially around the 25th). There’s unpredictable energy around the 11th, which presses your buttons big style, and the challenge is to keep reaching for the positive perspective of others, even when it’s hard to see. But good news comes from loved-up Venus entering your sign from the 7th, and your ruler Jupiter starting a mega fun-filled adventure from the 23rd.
Capricorn
22nd December – 20th January
There’s a new moon eclipse in your sign on the 4th. This is big news for Cap, as it means whatever happens around that time is going to help set your direction for the new year ahead. It’s likely that you are looking longterm at that time, and thinking about career or ambitions, and of ways to overcome setbacks or obstacles; and this is what the eclipse highlights or magnifies in you, especially emotionally. Your ruler Saturn goes retrograde (appears to move backwards) on the 25th, and it doesn’t mean a wrong turn, more like time out to review current approach to plans.
Aquarius
21st January – 18th February
There’s a lot that feels out of your hands for much of the month, and the challenge is to go with the flow without feeling at the mercy of uncontrollable factors. Not easy with a powerful new moon eclipse on the 4th, and an intense meeting between Mercury/Pluto on the 18th. But from the 16th, Mars moves into your sign, followed by the sun from the 20th. This is going to brighten your view considerably, and added to that, Jupiter starts its long journey through your communication zone from the 23rd, so it’s likely there’s good news to give and receive on the way.
Pisces
19th February – 20th March
Magnetic Venus moves into your career and ambition zone from the 7th, helping to smooth your path forward and attract the right people your way. This helps counteract some challenging energies in situations and guides you to the path of least resistance, especially related to groups or gatherings, or any situation that currently feels like an unknown quantity or that has hidden depths. Lucky planet Jupiter moves into your house of finances from the 23rd, which is always a healthy, helpful influence to have around as Jupiter brings endless opportunity for increase (although that means in spending too).

December Horoscopes
Aries
21st March – 20th April
Your feisty ruling planet Mars moves into your career and status zone on the 8th, so you’re looking longterm and feeling driven to reach toward plans. What happens around the 14th connected to this can be intense; Mars meets transformational Pluto, so it could be a change of direction, it could be some kind of turning point, but it’s going to feel significant. Romance is deepening nicely around that time too. Then there’s a stormy full moon eclipse on the 21st; the mood is unpredictable and high energy, but unshaken you are keeping your focus firmly on those future plans.
Taurus
21st April – 21st May
There’s a perspective shift regarding income and resources this month; you’re changing your view big time through a series of events that works like a truth quest. See it like any relationship that you learn and evolve as a result of your interaction with. All your relationships are important this month too, as your ruler Venus is moving through this area of your chart. New moon on the 5th is nice for new love, and attached Taureans notice partners are also going through their own process; give them a break if they’re showing signs of the stress of it, especially midmonth.
Gemini
22nd May – 21st June
There’s a lovely new moon (new feeling) influencing relationships on the 5th, then Mercury, your ruler, retrogrades from the 10th (appears to move backwards). No it’s not about things going downhill, it’s about reconnecting with the past or reviewing the present in some way. This merges well with the intense flavour of events this month, which have a theme of change and surrendering to the change: the 14th around friendship, the 21st around love, and the 26th around communication. Mercury ends its retro phase on the 31st, which is the perfect way to begin a New Year: freshly looking forward in a new direction.
Cancer
22nd June – 22nd July
Wow, it’s all about relationships in such a big way for Cancer this month. So much happening, so much to trust yourself about and surrender worry about. Every relationship is a reflection of your relationship with yourself, so that is where you are going to have to keep coming back to in order to make sense of certain situations, or to get the most out of what’s happening. Most busy and intense midmonth, and most emotionally impacting around the 21st, under a full moon eclipse, along with plenty of inspiration for end of year positive reflection.
Leo
23rd July – 23rd August
An adventurous new moon on the 5th spices up matters of the heart, and on the 6th your relationship ruler ends a retrograde phase ongoing since July. It means a turning point for any situation that has felt stuck in the past, or which has reached a sticking point. As the month goes on moving forward and looking forward is what it’s all about. There’s a line-up of planets influencing health and wellbeing, so there’s no room for soldiering on or for tolerating stress and ignoring pressure; the planets want you in tip top condition for 2011 so be good to yourself.
Virgo
24th August – 22nd September
Early December has an unpredictable, edgy feel at times when Mars/Uranus presses all your comfort zone buttons, but from the 6th there’s some kind of turning point in relationship issues and you are getting a feel for freedom and independence within all connections. Your ruler Mercury retrogrades from the 10th (appears to move backwards) till the 31st, amidst a heavy line-up of planets; it can mean mixed messages, especially midmonth; and complex dynamics in communications. There’s fun to be had too though, but always with Pluto’s characteristic intensity.
Libra
23rd September – 23rd October
The new moon on the 5th brings a new emotional dimension to all communications, and there’s a growing emphasis on finances and resources and the way they link to your domestic bliss at the moment. It’s a stable and structured time till around the 10th, then a heavy line-up of planets in the comfort zone angle of your chart tests your emotional mettle towards change. It’s a fabulous planet presence for literal restructuring of your home, but more so metaphorically there’s something of the phoenix rising within you to greet your new year.
Scorpio
24th October – 22nd November
There’s a sparkly new moon for Scorpio on the 5th, as magnetic Venus is still in your sign and linking up creatively and happily to your ruling planet Pluto. Expect scintillating conversation and the upper hand in all relationship scenarios. Even midmonth onward, when the rest of the zodiac buckles under the strain of some formidable planet aspects, you seem to be in your element with what’s on offer and continually find yourself rising to the challenge of any occasion. It can’t hurt to watch finances closely though; Mercury’s in trickster mode, so careful it’s not your soul you’re signing away.
Sagittarius
23rd November – 21st December
New moon in your sign on the 5th means a new you in so many ways. There’s also a feeling of the tide turning in some way, especially at home, where there’s been a certain current you’ve had to ride since July. Relationships need careful handling for much of the month, especially those with financial attachments. Love might be calling for a change of direction or approach, and new love might have links to the past in some way. There’s a powerful and intense flavour to much of December’s events, but that has positive connotations indeed for a spice hungry sign like Sadge.
Capricorn
22nd December – 20th January
So much planet activity in your sign means lots happening this month, and because transformational Pluto is at the heart of it, your experiences might feel profound and probably intense at times. It’s possible you’re the catalyst for others transformation and change too, especially midmonth when there’s a particular hotspot of planets that speak of changing patterns, changing perspective and trusting the unknown territory all that brings. Pluto means light at the end of the tunnel, but you have to look for it, and the sun moving into your sign from the 21st is a good solid symbol of exactly that.
Aquarius
21st January – 18th February
Since early July your ruler, the unconventional Uranus has been retrograde (appearing to move backwards). Rather than regression, it tends to mean introspection, alternative approaches, or certain situations put on hold for a later date. From the 6th, Uranus moves forward again; slowly, but the turning point is there, and as the month goes on you might be seeing signs of this and maybe the time begins to feel right for movement or a change of mind on a subject or project. There’s a lot that feels out of your hands this month, but that doesn’t mean circumstances aren’t on your side.
Pisces
19th February – 20th March
There’s a supportive new moon on the 5th, in the career and status section of your chart. It indicates a new feeling or a new sense of purpose about aims and ambitions, which answers and settles recent restlessness. You might not know all the details yet, but the feeling is in you that things are moving forward and it’s enough to see you through December’s choppy planetary waters. Keep the faith that alternatives and options are now on their way, as it’s easy to buy into others lack of vision, they don’t mean harm, they just don’t have your insight.
21st March – 20th April
Your feisty ruling planet Mars moves into your career and status zone on the 8th, so you’re looking longterm and feeling driven to reach toward plans.

November Horoscopes
Aries
21st March – 20th April
Love planet Venus returns to your relationship zone from the 8th, in mood for a reunion or reconnection; it’s also a time when peace and harmony can be restored, especially if it’s been noticeably lacking of late. There’s a turning point for you from the 18th somehow, where relationships seem easier to move forward, which is helpful during the final week during a particularly challenging planet pattern that symbolises flashes and clashes of conflict, in communication especially. On the positive side, it can certainly clear the air.
Taurus
21st April – 21st May
This is a month of tying up loose ends on complaints and grievances that have bugged you for some time now. Don’t worry if at first it seems to get worse than before, because for some reason it always gets worse before it gets better, and it means you can see more clearly what you’re dealing with as it’s brought to the forefront more vividly. It’s all been about reaching a new balance; integrating and accepting rather than denying and pushing away. There’s a turning point from the 18th, when things feel fairer, more equal, in your perception.
Gemini
22nd May – 21st June
There’s a nice new moon on the 6th related to work, as well as long-term plans, and is also great for impressing those who matter. Not that you are that bothered about their approval, which is probably why it’s so easy to gain it, but it’s nice all the same. Around the 18th there’s important links to partnerships, as your relationship ruler Jupiter is moving forward in a new way; no more holding back, or things feeling held up. Keep the faith during the final week (especially at work), as there’s no holding back on communication, whatever the mood, and it’s all rather sudden.
Cancer
22nd June – 22nd July
Your creativity is calling you big time this month, and this has potential income attached. The trick is flowing your energy towards where it is your heart really lies as there’s no room for duty or obligation where creativity is concerned. Matters of the heart have a magic in other ways too, as romance is in the air, especially around mid-month. Do your best to detach from drama as the month goes on; there’s a disruptive vibe brewing in certain situations that you feel drawn to sort out, but perhaps you’re best viewing fireworks from a distance?
Leo
23rd July – 23rd August
Home, family, comfort zone, nostalgia, it’s all stirring you emotionally for much of November, especially around new moon time on the 6th, when you come to realise it’s about transforming the past, not throwing it away or destroying it. There’s buried treasure to come to light around this; maybe through communication that gives you a new perspective and turning point from the 18th. You’re having fun this month but also in the mood for quiet time, however certain situations will challenge you every step of the way on that one, especially during the final week.
Virgo
24th August – 22nd September
You’ve been looking to heal or transform certain situations with your words and it’s easy when powered by the intention-filled new moon on the 6th. There’s some unfinished business to wrap up regarding finances when Venus slips back into this zone of your chart from the 8th, but it’s all for a positive purpose, which might begin to show itself when Venus changes direction on the 18th, as things move forward from then. This is true of relationships too, although with a highly unpredictable, and at times volatile, edge during the final week. It’s still all about moving forward though.
Libra
23rd September – 23rd October
Your ruler Venus returns to your sign from the 9th, bringing the return of unfinished business, especially from September time. Then Venus hits a turning point around the 18th, and so do you: no more looking to the past, no more feeling that things are passing you by, no more feeling you can’t get yourself going in the right direction. Instead, there’s faith in the future once again; situations seem to sort themselves out and you can actually see your path forward. Now is the time to receive the benefit of your hard work from weeks gone by.
Scorpio
24th October – 22nd November
The annual new moon in Scorpio is on the 6th. It’s always a good time for a bit of self-reflection and to get clear on current intentions as new moons always symbolise what is incubating emotionally, and it feels more significant when in your sign. Think of it as a New Year for the emotions, and use negative feelings as fertilizer for a positive new perspective. Venus helps with this by leaving your sign till the end of the month, encouraging you to see both sides of an argument or problem. It helps clear a long-standing nagging sense of injustice, to see where they’re coming from.
Sagittarius
23rd November – 21st December
Bit of a turning point happening for Sag this month: not only is your ruler Jupiter ending its retrograde phase (where it appeared to go backwards) from the 18th, but the sun moves into your sign, from the 22nd. It’s from the first week that you might start to sense a shift in situations coming, perhaps with communication breaking something loose in a stalemate and ending that stuck feeling, or maybe new light is shed on some issues (especially relating to home). Whatever way it works, Jupiter’s turnaround matches your own feeling of being able to move forward, and look forward, once again.
Capricorn
22nd December – 20th January
It’s busy and social first week of the month, and friends are glad of your support and problem-solving skills. Work-wise you are the power behind the scenes midmonth, while at home your opinion matters. There’s also the potential for opportunities to re-emerge at work that you thought had passed you by; or it’s a case of finding a new direction lighting up before your eyes (especially from the 18th). Final week of November is ripe for drama and arguments: fiery Mars clashes with unpredictable Uranus at that time, so nothing gets bottled up for later.
Aquarius
21st January – 18th February
First week especially is so work and career orientated; it’s all about direction and planning, with a new moon in this area of your chart on the 6th that symbolises new feelings emerging about where you go from here. No worries if you don’t have the bigger picture at that time, it’s because Neptune is clouding issues as well as your creative mind (only temporarily, till the 18th). There’s a lucky feel for finances too, but again, don’t let Neptune fog your instinct. Mars makes friendships fiery and unpredictable end of the month, but also fast-moving to new and better places.
Pisces
19th February – 20th March
It’s clear you mean business this month; it’s because you’ve got a sense of the bigger picture at work in your life, which automatically gives you a sense of where your priorities lie. You’re in the mood for action on aims and ambitions; more so when Jupiter changes direction in your sign from the 18th, as this symbolises an important change of direction in you; looking ahead, not to the past, and looking forward to the future. Final week can stir things up though, as the mood is unruly and you’re in the mood to let loose a bit.
21st March – 20th April
Love planet Venus returns to your relationship zone from the 8th, in mood for a reunion or reconnection; it’s also a time when peace and harmony can be restored, especially if it’s been noticeably lacking of late.

Venus Retrograde In Scorpio 2010
This week, during the new moon in the Venus ruled sign of Libra, Venus was coming to a grinding halt in the skies, ready to change direction on the 8th October and move back on itself, reversing its forward motion. It wasn't really of course, it just looks that way to us because of orbits and things - it makes a sort of optical illusion from where we stand. It will continue this way till November 18th, when it appears to stop and turnaround again, to resume it's forward motion. Optical illusion or not, it's significant in astrology, and what with last weeks Mars/Venus conjunction, and with that Venus ruled new moon (new moon = new emotional phase), it makes for a particularly amplified Venus vibe right now, which turns up the volume, and no doubt the heat (Scorpio is an emotionally intense sign at the best of times), on all Venus ruled matters... relationships - especially relationships with women - also money, property, self worth and self esteem; those issues are all making their presence felt more keenly through circumstances right now.
There's also a particular emphasis on any unfinished business... this is Scorpio territory anyway, but also because retrogrades are noted for things cropping up again - places and faces from the past re-emerge into consciousness for whatever reason, and Venus retro in particular is into reconnections of relationships. And thanks to the Scorpio flavour, re-emergence is a key theme; what was hidden comes to light, and what was lost is found.
This retrograde cycle also links back to 8 years ago, which was the last time Venus retrograded at this spot. Think back to 2002 and you might see echoes or reminders from then working through current events. Not necessarily literally, it's usually emotionally; how you felt back then as result of significant situations connects in some way to where you stand now; you can trace your emotional evolution from back then to now.
So what did last weeks events throw up emotionally for you, as there's a clue there in how this cycle might be playing out at deep levels. Scorpio is always deep, and is also about the process of moving within unknown or unknowable territory, and also about getting comfortable with the uncontrollable (pretty much everything outside yourself), and this is why so much of that sign revolves around trust and learning to trust your own instincts, intuition and your emotional resources. When you are left not knowing what is round the corner, or left feeling in the dark, it's all you've got to go on.
Venus deals with what you value and appreciate, in yourself and therefore in relation to others and the physical world itself. The Scorpio process is an emotionally focused one, that requires the willingness to let go of what you have known to be true about yourself in the past, in favour of deciding what might be more true now, given who you feel you are now. It's a healing, renewing, transforming process, while the retrograde phase is a period of review... always a review of the self, no matter how much it seems to be about others, they are just the excuse to feel the way you do... whether positively or negatively, situations and relationships with others call attention to your relationship with yourself; as what you say about them, how you see them, how you view them, reflects how you are really feeling about you. So Venus retrograde says if you don't like what you see it's time to re-view it - look again by looking at yourself differently in a situation - re-value your place within it... you're worth it :)

October Horoscopes
Aries
21st March – 20th April
There’s a strong focus on all your relationships this month, as well as any agreements and contracts with others. A Venus/Mars meeting during the first week spells passion and intensity in romance, while other relationships have a easy bond, based on a shared sense of appreciation for the other’s position. From the 7th, after a new moon focused on joining forces through joint intentions, Venus retrogrades (appears to move backwards). This is a strong indication of returning to unfinished business over the coming weeks, so remember to deal with it as who you are now, not who you were then.
Taurus
21st April – 21st May
First week of the month has a special feel for love: it’s sassy and sensual, with a touch of mystery; it’s all that you appreciate with a bit more added. From the 7th your ruler Venus retrogrades (appears to move backwards). This doesn’t mean you’re going the wrong way, just seeing things from a different perspective than of late; it indicates an important turning point, especially in relationships, where you are seeking to review and relate to the past in a new way. You are not bound to repeat the past, though you might worry you are heading that way at times.
Gemini
22nd May – 21st June
Your ruler Mercury meets limitation planet Saturn during the first week of October, during a new moon that evokes a new feeling about creative projects and matters close to your heart. It about coming to the awareness that frustrating barriers and closed doors you encounter on the outside are only reflecting conclusions you came to about yourself in the past, and that this is all ripe for review right now. Venus retrogrades from the 7th, which indicates this review process in action; it’s a process of trusting there’s more to you than used to meet your eye.
Cancer
22nd June – 22nd July
You’re most aware of changes you’d like to make related to home and family matters from new moon time around the 7th; trust the vision you have, which might feel idealistic but which is the perfect blueprint to aim for. Partners are matching your mood on this too. The planets are slowly collecting in your house of fun and entertainment as the month goes on, which means you need to find plenty of ways to let your heart sing and your creativity flow. Venus retrogrades here on the 7th which means nostalgia and old haunts are involved in doing so.
Leo
23rd July – 23rd August
Staying in is the new going out during the first week of October, when a deep and intimate Mars/Venus aspect happens in the comfort of your own home. If you’re single, love is not too far from your own doorstep, and might even be a blast from the past once Venus Retrogrades down memory lane from the 7th. There’s also a strong emphasis on communication for much of the month, and there’s even a kind of telepathy going on with you and a certain someone on the 17th, so remember that around the 22nd as their actions might bamboozle you.
Virgo
24th August – 22nd September
Venus Retrogrades this month, which tends to bring up unfinished business around relationships. There’s also a new moon in your house of finance and resources on the 7th, ushering in a new kind of feeling related to this area of your life. And because it’s all about worth and value, it’s also about self worth; about how deserving you feel to step up to a new level of receiving and of accepting more of your own resourcefulness; there’s only you can decide this (even though it might look like others have a say) so find your balance with yourself, not with others.
Libra
23rd September – 23rd October
During the first week of Oct, your ruler Venus mingles with action planet Mars in your house of finance and resources; it indicates your priorities are in order and that you feel more comfortable with your future at this point. Because the sun is in your sign till the 23rd, there’s a new moon in your sign on the 7th; this is about setting new intentions, and feeling a new sense of where you want to go from here. It coincides with the start of Venus retrograde, which means for the time being that direction is revisiting the past in all sorts of ways.
Scorpio
24th October – 22nd November
There’s much that feels out of your direct control this month, but this doesn’t mean unco-operative forces are bound to mess up your plans, as it’s when you let go of the idea that you need to control things to make them happen, that they happen. Venus begins a retrograde cycle in your sign from the 7th, which indicates a change in direction or approach is called for over the coming weeks, especially when dealing with partners and loved ones who are going through their own change in direction. It’s a time of transformation for everyone, it seems.
Sagittarius
23rd November – 21st December
Mars, planet of action and motivation, moves into your sign from the 28th, which symbolises a refreshed desire to get moving with goals. Before that though, there’s plenty going on behind the scenes in preparation for this; much of which you just have to trust and go with the flow of. Not a bad thing to do this, especially around the 20th, when Mars is in fabulous aspect to your ruler Jupiter; it symbolises a helping hand when you need it, especially regarding matters at home, which have been taking on a life of their own in recent months.
Capricorn
22nd December – 20th January
While your main focus is either work and career, or long-term plans and ambitions for much of the month, especially around the 7th when a new moon opens doors and windows of opportunity, there’s still time for an interesting distraction romantically, symbolised by a fabulous conjunction of Mars and Venus during the first week. There’s a big link between romance and friendships within this, as well as reunions or reconnections with old friends as the month goes on thanks to the Venus Retrograde cycle getting underway. Also, communication is brilliant and productive around the 20th, in so many ways.
Aquarius
21st January – 18th February
There’s a wealth of new ideas and inspiration available to you, as a result of a new perspective you are coming to, symbolised by a fresh feeling new moon on the 7th.
Don’t settle for creative blocks, just stop believing in them; they aren’t what you are really about, even when Venus Retrograde takes you to old territory, it’s not getting stuck in the past, it’s to shed your own light in a new way. Even when you imagine you are running out of steam, or about to get fooled again (around the 22nd), it’s still just about the power of your imagination.
Pisces
19th February – 20th March
There’s a mix of vibes at times this month, especially during the first week when relationships can be at times distant and frustrating but then also new and refreshingly up close and personal. Yin and Yang are fabulous when entwined but they are polar opposites, so in your connections with others only focus on how well the different pieces and perspectives fit, rather than noticing how different the pieces and perspectives are. This is easiest around an action-packed full moon on the 23rd; when the flow is really moving you in all the right directions.
