Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 19)

A conjunction between Mars and Pluto could lead to feelings running high. Patience is not just a virtue, but a necessity. You can’t afford to give vent to your irritation or try to pin the blame somewhere. Acknowledge your frustration internally, but don’t express it if you want to reach a settlement. Try to see the other side of the argument. However, you must not let yourself be labelled the scapegoat. What’s done is done — there’s no point in crying over spilt milk. Everyone has to pick themselves up and move on. Forgive and forget.

Taurus (Apr 20- May 20)

Your ruler Venus is about to transit into Aquarius, planet of the unexpected. Are you ready to face fresh challenges? You’ve been too conservative and have built a staid reputation for mundane predictability. Nothing wrong with that, but lately things have been a little unexciting, haven’t they? You’re too practical to get carried away with a new fad, but it’s within your modus operandi to change a crazy idea into reality. Don’t dismiss the dreamy idealist who covets your patronage — they may be on to a real winner.

Gemini (May 21 - Jun 20)

As Mercury, your restless ruler moves into Aquarius this week, you’ll become increasingly inquisitive. You’re perhaps feeling annoyed that you’ve been left out of the loop. The inability to obtain a direct answer to simple questions will be irritating. With regards to a special relationship, you may feel you’re being strung along. Don’t force the issue by demanding commitment. It’s too early for that sort of thing. There are subtler ways of finding out what you need to know. Showing indifference is a sure-fire way of encouraging people to open up.

Cancer (Jun 21 - Jul 22)

The Moon transits through the star signs more rapidly than other planets, receiving different vibes from each of them in passing. This explains the sensitivity of the Crab and why so many calls are made for its attention. Crabs are sympathetic types and often put others before themselves. The Moon temporarily eclipses Jupiter this week, suggesting a time for solitude when you can turn your back on the world’s woes. With some respite, you can focus on your own concerns for once. No one will begrudge you a short leave of absence.
