Aries

March 21 to April 20

As Mars retrograde in Leo exactly opposes Pluto in Aquarius, you’re stepping into the second act of a three-part cosmic drama. This phase is all about pausing to assess an ongoing issue. Muster your resources, and whether they’re inner strength, allies or tangible tools, start crafting a long-term strategy. This isn’t a time for quick fixes. It’s about building a solid plan that leads to resolution.

Taurus

April 21 to May 21

Are you walking the tightrope between career ambitions and home life? An intense cosmic conflict urges you to rethink your goals and outlook in both arenas and to reflect on your values. Transformation is calling, so don’t shy away. Neptune’s energy might tempt you to stay in your comfort zone, but doing nothing won’t move the needle. Start making small, meaningful shifts.

Gemini

May 22 to June 21

The Mars/Pluto face-off means working with others to shape ideas might feel like a tug-of-war. Differences in opinions or approaches could spark conflict, but don’t let it discourage you, as collaboration can lead to brilliance, if you work through this. It’s good to ask questions, listen carefully and avoid assumptions. Stay flexible and use your way with words to keep the peace.

Cancer

June 22 to July 23

Financial concerns might be weighing on your mind. You may feel an urge to act swiftly but do resist the temptation to make hasty decisions. Instead, take a step back and assess the situation calmly. Use this time to strategise and explore your options. A steady approach now can lead to better outcomes and positive solutions later. Trust your instincts but temper them with patience.

Leo

July 24 to August 23

Assertive Mars in your sign opposes power broker Pluto, and cherished relationship might feel like it’s hitting some snags. Deep-seated issues could be bubbling up, leaving you feeling both fond of and wary about this connection. It’s okay to pause and reflect, and there’s no need to have all the answers immediately. Take your time to sort out fact from fiction, and approach conversations with care.

Virgo

August 24 to September 23

If you’re feeling mounting pressure, then you may be craving a break. Listen to your body’s messages as it’s likely crying for rest, not more to-do lists. Overextending won’t earn you any points, so nurture yourself and embrace relaxation. Life isn’t a sprint it’s a marathon, and finding greater balance is the key. Even the Earth rests before blossoming anew, so trust the process.

Libra

September 24 to October 23

If the social spotlight feels dimmer, you may be wondering why. Don’t let this shift leave you unsettled as it’s a cosmic call to recalibrate, not to crave applause. Authenticity is your secret sauce. Be your naturally charming self, and the right connections will find you. Lean into self-reflection and nurture your core relationships. Just remember, your true essence shines forever.

Scorpio

October 24 to November 22

The opposition between Mars and Pluto may encourage questions about your image. Should you reinvent yourself or remain as you are? Transformation is already brewing deep within you, so there’s no need to force it. Let change unfold naturally, like a phoenix rising. True power comes from aligning with your authentic self, not the mask you wear, so try to stay true to yourself.

Sagittarius

November 23 to December 21

Under the current conflicting celestial conditions, you may be sure you’re right, but the cosmos whispers otherwise. Before charging ahead, pause and consider whether there could be another perspective. Humility, though unglamorous, is your friend now. Go with honest self-reflection and dialogue, as wisdom lies in admitting when you’re off course. It’s a strength, not a weakness.

Capricorn

December 22 to January 21

If certain areas of your life are lacking, resist the urge to put the blame on others. Instead, look within as your greatest asset is your willingness to shape your path. A potent cosmic nudge asks you to be more proactive by crafting solutions and clever strategies. Even so, a steady approach can bring success. Results will emerge when you’re both vulnerable and ambitious, Capricorn.

Aquarius

January 22 to February 19

Once more Mars clashes with the tiny but influential Pluto and highlights the need for understanding in relationships. If you’re feeling uncertain, it’s a good idea to stand back, even if the person in question is unhappy about this. Taking time to reflect ensures your decisions are rooted in truth, not haste. You value honesty, and this time calls for just that but demand it from them too.

Pisces

February 20 to March 20

Your intuition is inspiring you to attend to your health and wellbeing, so listen closely. Trust that inner nudge urging you to prioritise rest, nourishment and balance. A powerful dream may arrive as a cosmic messenger, pointing you towards much-needed self-care or even a course correction. Pay attention, as your subconscious is attuned to what you truly need and thrive on.
