Aries 21 March - 20 April... Aries is the sign of the pioneer, but with Mars your ruler bound up with Saturn, you may not be having such an adventurous time right now. And with a chance that a dream opportunity could be harder to acquire than you thought, you might not be in the best of moods. Your saving grace is the Sun in pleasure seeking Leo, which encourages you to indulge yourself regardless.

Taurus 21 April - 21 May... Feelings could intensify, and it may be over something quite trivial, Taurus. For some reason someone might be getting under your skin and causing you to get all worked up. Mind, a more benevolent influence can help take the sting out of things by encouraging you to see the lighter side of the situation. Ask your friends what they think, as it maybe you're taking it too seriously.

Gemini 22 May - 21 June... Letting go is never easy, but the present star map is encouraging you to say goodbye to something that's not doing you much good, Gemini. No matter how attached you are, this is the time to release your grip and let it drift away. You may be spurred on by a hard Saturn angle, that enables you to make tough decisions. Once you've done it, the relief will be truly immense.

Cancer 22 June - 23 July... Tempted to compromise? If someone has been too demanding, why should you? While this is one way to tackle the situation, it isn't the only way. You could also refuse to do anything, unless they approach you more respectfully. While a mars/Neptune angle might tempt you to play this down, don't, especially if this has been ongoing. It's time to firm up your boundaries, Cancer.

Leo 24 July - 23 August... Despite your fun-loving outlook, you may be brought down to earth by aspects that make you aware of how hard life can be at times. You might have intense feelings about matters that you can't do anything about. In a few days your perspective will have changed, and what is bothering you won't seem so worrying. And there is a silver lining to this that will show up soon, Leo.

Virgo 24 August - 23 September... Certain relationships seem to be moving along very nicely, and showing promise Virgo, and it is these you may be keen to cultivate. Contrast this scenario with another, in which you might be wary of someone and their motives, especially if they seem controlling. Trust your feelings around this, and if you sense that you're better off steering clear of them, it's wise to do so.

Libra 24 September - 23 October... You may be tempted to take on someone who is no pushover. And with the current hard aspects on the go, any tussle with them might not work out to your advantage. This is one time when your diplomatic side could be of great use to you. Whether you back off or try to negotiate, do so with as much grace and tact as you can muster. They may even show a friendlier side if you do.

Scorpio 24 October - 22 November... Worried about something you've said or done, Scorpio? If so, you could work yourself into a fever pitch thinking about the consequences. Yet it may not be as bad as you fear. It's possible the person in question barely noticed it, and you've made a big drama out of it by focusing on the worst-case scenario. Let it go, and in a few days you'll be back to normal.

Sagittarius 23 November - 21 December... What will you do if you want something badly, but find you can't afford it? As Venus opposes Pluto across your financial axis, this intense and compulsive blend of energies could see you desperately seeking a way to buy it. Even if it messes with your ability to pay the bills, you'll likely figure something out. Is it worth it? Within two minutes of getting it, you might regret it.

Capricorn 22 December - 20 January... Feelings for someone could seem to strengthen over coming days, and might even border on the obsessive. Mind, Venus's face-off with Pluto is a temporary aspect and won't last too long, so it's possible that you may go from red hot to icy cold within the week. And this can apply to something else you want, Capricorn. One minute it's most desirable, and the next it really isn't.

Aquarius 21 January - 19 February... Is someone making an issue out of a matter that isn't a big deal? Maybe they're looking at it from the wrong angle, and this is where you can step in and help. If it seems they're geared up for a confrontation Aquarius, you'd be wise to steer clear. You have so many better ways to spend your time than dealing with people who have a chip on their shoulder. Don't go there!

Pisces 20 February - 20 March... It's possible to be so cautious, that you end up making something a chore rather than an activity that should be fun. As Venus opposes Pluto across your social axis, you may be prone to fears, doubts and compulsive ideas that aren't based on reality. Attracted to someone you're hanging out with and desperately trying to play it cool? Unless you can detach, you won't be yourself.
