Horoscope with Lilith

This week mischief-making Mercury steps out of retrograde (Yesss!) bringing sweet starry relief as lost documents reappear; misinformation, misconceptions, missed connections are clarified; frayed, fractured, and delayed communications are plugged in again and everyone gets the message. Whatever that message may be...

Aries: An unexpectedly unnerving circumstance could make this week into an uncomfortably hot seat, so a flexible and accepting attitude to the vagaries of fate is probably your best option. Actually, it could be your only option...

Taurus: Doing the right things but getting disappointing results? Feeling less than buoyant and wondering why you bother? If you stay open and available, this week could activate a core meltdown in the Taurean heart to the essential priorities in your life right now...

Gemini: Be aware that this week remarks made in idle conversation could make a lasting (and maybe misleading) impression on others. Try editing your thoughts before expressing them - or maybe take a break form thinking out loud.

Cancer: Know how easily you get? Cancerian transits act as emotional tenderisers, rendering everyone else's sensibilities delicate and fragile as well. Treat complaints over kafuffles over ruffled feelings as the cry for consideration they really are.

Leo: Plenty happening this week - some of it positive, some of it not. If you think that someone or thing Out There's at fault, get a reality check from your best friend, the mirror. Which of your reflection is telling you something - and what is it?

Virgo: Virgo's have their own particular way of doing things, no question - yet this week's astrological omens suggest trying the exact opposite. Crazy wisdom is what Native Americans call the refreshing effect of contrary behaviour. Check it out - nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Libra: the brain says this, but the heart knows otherwise. This looks good, yet this feels right. Then again, being loved is more important than being right. This week the eternal quandary throws a new learning curve - which you'll negotiate with elegant ease.

Scorpio: Just not getting what you want in the way you want it, Scorps? One of the secrets of worldly success is learning to synchronise personal ambitions with service to humanity - saves squandering energy in the wrong direction. But of course you already knew that...

Sagittarius: You can't push or pressure, rush or hurry this week's people. Reason and sense won't work either. Ah, but some seductively alluring proposition, deliciously irresistible deal or enchantingly attractive offer - now you're talking.

Capricorn: This week could activate the stubborn side of your psyche, particularly concerning something that's hurt you. But it also offers possibilities for healing the past, refining priorities and a deep recognition of what's truly most important.

Aquarius: While this week's ray of clarity illuminates certain personal issues, that mischievous monkey kind could be busy clouding them again. Don't be tempted to fool yourself - magnums of Honesty Brut are required to maintain this new level of awareness.

Pisces: Whatever conundrums the cosmos confronts you this week Neptunians, just be advised that you already have all the answers - because sometimes you're too much of a Doubting Thomas to accept them as the real ones.
