ARIES March 21-April 20
Rambunctious Rams can appear confident on the outside but – with Saturn and Neptune transiting through your sign – the main danger at the moment is self-doubt. As celebrity chef (and birthday great) Julia Child observed, “The only real stumbling block is fear of failure.” So pick yourself up, shake yourself off, and start running your own race. Self-belief and persistence will get you where you want to go! If doubts still persist, follow your intuition.
TAURUS (Apr 20 – May 20)
Mercury finally moves forwards in your home zone, plus Venus (your ruling planet) and Jupiter link up in your neighborhood zone. So it’s a wonderful week for family matters and local community connections. Saturday favors ambitious dreams as you follow your true destiny. Your motto for the moment is from birthday great, Madonna (who turns 67 on Saturday) “I stand for freedom of expression, doing what you believe in, and going after your dreams.”
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
The buzz word for the week is Communication, as Mercury (your patron planet) finally moves forward in your neighborhood and conversation zone. Expect increased social interaction and educational activities within your local community, but make sure you slow down and choose your words wisely (especially on Monday). Wisdom for the week is from Gemini writer and philosopher Jean-Paul Satre, “Words are more treacherous and powerful then we think.”
CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
Are you making the most of lucky Venus and prosperous Jupiter both transiting through (and linking up) in your sign? For the first time in 12 years! Crab charisma is at an all-time high as you charm the cynics and dazzle the doubters with little effort on your part. So it’s the perfect time to apply for a job, bonus or promotion; enter a competition; or call in a few old favors. Saturday is the perfect day to write down your dreams and aspirations for the future.
LEO (July 23 – Aug 22)
Mercury turns direct (on Monday) and the Sun’s also shining in Leo. So it’s time to communicate your creative ideas with extra pizazz, dream mind-blowing dreams, and/or make connections with bohemian folk from foreign shores. But, with Uranus activating your wanderlust zone, many restless Cats will feel cooped up, housebound and a bit stir-crazy. Pull on your travelling shoes and escape on a weekend getaway or plan an adventurous trip for some time soon.
VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Mercury moves forward in your solitary zone. Which favors meditation, contemplation, relaxation and investigation as you solve a problem or get to the bottom of a mystery. However, if you stubbornly hang onto the past and resist change, then you’re in for an unpredictable time. Strive to be more adaptable to constantly changing circumstances. Heed the wise words of social commentator Will Rogers, “Chaotic action is preferable to orderly inaction.”

LIBRA Sep 24-Oct 23
On Tuesday, Venus (your patron planet) and Jupiter (prosperity planet) pair up your career zone. So Lady Luck is heading your way! If you want to get ahead then strive to work smarter, not just harder. Your natural charm and generosity will win people over. If you choose to take on a professional challenge in the coming year, you’ll find the benefits will far outweigh the difficulties. The more you focus on a cherished dream, the more likely it will come true.
SCORPIO (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
With Mercury finally moving forwards in your career zone, a professional matter or a volunteer project should gradually shift from go slow to all systems go. If it’s too much to handle on your own, then don’t hesitate to ask for assistance from your friends, work colleagues and/or your extended peer group. Don’t battle on alone … other people are happy to pitch in and help. The weekend is wonderful for relaxing, unwinding, drifting and dreaming.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Venus (planet of luck) and Jupiter (your ruling planet) pair up your money-from-others zone on Tuesday. So – sometime over the coming year – expect a boost to your bank balance via a pay rise, work bonus, bumper tax return, superannuation payout or extra business. Any windfall won’t last long if you don’t manage it wisely though. Mercury also moves forward (on Monday) which is good news for travel plans, long holidays and weekend getaways.
CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
This week the Sun and Mercury (moving forward) highlight a close relationship, shared finances or a joint venture. Secrets and issues of loyalty could also be placed under the microscope, as you discover whether your trust in someone has been well placed. And prepare for a welcome burst of Capricorn creativity and energy as Uranus links up with your ruler Saturn. Lucky opportunities could magically manifest, especially at work or via family connections.
AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Mercury moves forward in your relationship zone, and Uranus (your patron planet) makes a lovely link with Saturn. So it’s a good week to be your creative, quirky Aquarian self – in an organized and strategic way. Innovation + improvement = success. Your motto is from birthday great, Madonna (who was born on August 16, 1958). “No matter who you are, no matter where you’ve come from, you can always change, become a better version of yourself.”
PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
On Monday, Mercury turns direct in your daily routine and work zone. So plans and appointments should start to run more smoothly. Then Venus and Jupiter join up in your leisure and pleasure zone on Tuesday. So it’s a good week to plan a party, book a massage, attend a concert, see an exhibition, organize a night at the movies or a rowdy lunch with your favorite friends. The weekend favors relaxation, contemplation and dreaming about the future.
