Sun, Mercury, Uranus, and Neptune in the airy Aquarian sign of wild minds, revolutionary concepts and unusual attitudes; Venus in fiery Aries and Mars in steamy Scorpio - all astral ingredients suggesting a hot, dry emotional climate requiring lots of touchy-feely emotional elements to blossom...

Aries: Don’t waste energy getting upset over other people odd, incomprehensible or strange behaviour. What seems hurtful is simply unconscious – they’re adrift in their own universe. So focus on your own - because this year’s new ventures need careful planning.

Taurus: At present universal Trickster’s playing a now you- -have-it-now you don’t kind of game. So don’t take disappointments or missed opportunities too serious - like love and taxis, there’ll be another one along any second now.

Gemini: You’re minds on fire, busy and buzzing. Physical body’s pretty lit up as well. Plenty of ideas and passion, but what about the heart - the part that makes everything worthwhile? This week’s work is consciously staying soft and open.

Cancer: Change, change, change,! Will it ever stop? Not while Venus Aries increases instability factors by about double. But they say a change is as good as a holiday, so why don’t you consider this week as trip you haven’t had to pay for?

Leo: This week’s an etching by Escher - tantalising avenues of opportunity unravelling, doors you never saw before opening invitingly onto infinite vistas of possibility. What’s real and what’s illusion? It would spoil your voyage of discovery to give you clues.....

Virgo: Uranian Mercury suits you right down to the roots. But don’t forget your branches reach up to the sky, which this week is filled with wild Aquarian ideas - some of them actually worth bringing down to earth and experimenting with.

Libra: Your mental antennae are positively pulsating this week as they receive all sorts of interesting new info. Try not to get so caught up and absorbed that you become unaware of, and unreceptive to other people’s feelings.

Scorpio: This week’s a little bit like a high-speed dance of the seven veils, with sudden blinding insights striking like lightening and peeling away -if you allow them to - successive layers of habitual behaviour to reveal a truer, brand-new you.

Sagittarius: Ever listened to those mechanical fish singing take me to the river...? Getting wet could be the best remedy for tis weeks parched and droughty conditions - take time to soak up lots of whatever soul nourishment you need right now.

Capricorn: Resist Lot’s wife syndrome, that temptation to look back at the past that turns you into human araldite - Stuck, stuck, stuck. Instead count your blessings by listing, (all Caps love a list) everything you presently are, have and can do.

Aquarius: Waterpourers aren’t only supposed to pour out entertaining ideas from their up-ended urn for the benefit of humanity. Their true purpose is connecting wit that universal sea of deep feeling to enrich their Aquarian inspirations with compassion.

Pisces: Your healing water-sign empathy, nurturing and sensitive understanding are exactly what this week needs - so don’t pass up the chance to cancel of junk karma by spreading the benefits of these blessed gifts lavishly around.
