SAGITTARIUS
23 November - 21 December
There’s a romantic tone to the next few weeks; it would be a pity if you didn’t enjoy it. If you have big plans for the future of your relationship, put them to one side, or reschedule them for next year. Appreciate where you are right now, and maybe indulge in some nostalgia. It will bring you closer.

CAPRICORN
22 December - 20 January
When a friend declares romantic intentions towards you, you retreat— right into the arms of another friend, who tells you that this is exactly what you need and that you ought to be bolder in your response. Don’t panic. You are the main player in all this and have full control. Set some boundaries and have fun.
AQUARIUS
21 January - 19 February
Although you are good at what you do, and everyone you work with appreciates you, you feel you should be doing something that has greater value in the real world. A visit to somewhere new in early October will show you a life that’s more in line with your beliefs and values—it may even be exactly what you were looking for.
PISCES
20 February - 20 March
A rare alignment of the outer planets is creating music that only you can hear. You see possibilities that others can’t imagine—some of them impractical, but that’s all part of the appeal. You could wait patiently for it all to evolve at its own pace, or you could take the initiative yourself and make it happen right now.
ARIES
21 March - 20 April
An argument that has long been on the horizon finally erupts, exposing an important relationship issue that has remained unresolved. This is not an argument you can win by ignoring. Deep and open discussion is needed, along with acceptance and compromise. If properly handled, this can be a new start to a better future.
TAURUS
21 April – 21 May
You feel stuck in a relationship that is predictable and unexciting, but familiar and reliable. Nonetheless, you feel that you need to break the boredom, so in mid-October, you take drastic action to do just that. Make sure you know what you are doing; once committed to your new course, it may not be possible to go back.
GEMINI
22 May – 21 June
This month’s solar eclipse gives you a chance to take your life forward in a way you never expected. The problem is that it’s not what you want at this point in your life. However, if you look a year or two ahead, you’ll see how much it adds to your life in every way. Embrace it.
CANCER
22 June – 22 July
This is a significant moment: You know who you are, what you stand for, and what you want to achieve. All you have to do is connect one to the other, and this month’s eclipse has the power to help you do that. Don’t let anyone tell you what you can or can’t do.
LEO
23 July – 22 August
Something you say to a friend or work colleague has a brilliant idea in it; a solution to a problem you haven’t been able to crack. If you can develop that idea, it could help you achieve a long-held ambition. If friends or colleagues want to join in, let them. It will help you reap greater rewards.
VIRGO
23 August - 22 September
You are trying to please two people at once—but pleasing one means upsetting the other. So you’ve started doing nothing, which makes things worse with each passing day. You need to put your own interests first and make it happen—even it it means saying no to these two individuals. They won’t mind as much as you think.
LIBRA
23 September - 22 October
Being pulled implies a definite attraction towards somebody; being pushed always seems less desirable. Yet, if you keep going by this theory, you’ll be limiting your life experiences and never try anything new. This month’s eclipse in your own sign will push you gently in a different direction; go with it and see what happens.
