With Saturn travelling backwards through the skies, we need to be extra resourceful. The good news is that the Cosmic Teacher is in fiery/dynamic Aries, which means we can easily tap into the motivational energy required. If we look at setbacks as learning opportunities, with determination, this is a time where the progress we make can stand us in good stead for the future. Plans made now might not take off as fast as we'd like. But they hold the potential for long-term success.
In the olden days, to get a horoscope calculated for your exact date and time of birth, you had to be a member of the royal family. Only court astrologers cast birth charts. Now, we can all be kings and queens - your personal assiatant 'Daisy' can tell you more about what (and who) you were born to be... and she answer your questions and examine, in deeply valuable detail, every major challenge and opportunity that lies ahead. How do you get to meet her? Take a Free Trial of the 5 Star Service.
ARIES
If you don't want to know what lies ahead, why go to the bother of reading your forecast? Since you're here, it seems you're either seeking validation for your perception of what the future holds, or you're struggling to decipher the clues. But suppose you're not supposed to know what's around the corner? Suppose you might be better off not knowing! With both dreamy Neptune and focused Saturn moving retrograde in Aries, keep as open-minded as possible. And be ready to roll with whatever unfolds. Because it looks promising.
TAURUS
When we find ourselves in situations that take us out of our comfort zone into new territory, often, our first reaction is to try to press the pause button. Change is challenging. We remember why we preferred things the way they were... we understood them. Then, as we adapt and adjust, we become so used to our new situation that if someone offered an alternative, or our old way of being back, we'd run a mile. If you make time to reflect today, you'll see what you've achieved. And find the courage to continue forward.
GEMINI
Lots of foods and drinks were once used for medicinal purposes. Coca-Cola was first sold as a health drink. And Digestive biscuits - well the clue is in the name! Nowadays, we can choose whether to eat something that's good for us, or to indulge ourselves because we like the flavour. Yet things can be healthy and pleasant, beneficial and enjoyable. And sometimes, we learn to like things that don't taste good because we know they're good for us. A challenge in your world will turn out to have positive side-effects today.
CANCER
We know the value of going on a journey of self-discovery. With greater self-awareness, we can live more fulfilled lives. But such journeys must involve other people. If we don't pay attention to the needs of the world around us, we close ourselves to connections that offer insight into who we are, and how we relate. Otherwise, although the sense of having more knowledge might make us feel good, it's accompanied by a sense of emptiness. Someone you know needs understanding today. As an empathic soul, you can help.
LEO
Despite the fact that you feel as if the odds are against you, you've got a more powerful hand than you think. The cosmic croupier might not have dealt you a hand of aces, but it's given you a selection of cards which, if you play with care, will result in success. Great poker players know that it's possible to win big with surprisingly low cards. Your task is to be patient and watchful. Keep your cards close to your chest and be quietly confident. If you can muster some bluster, you'll surprise yourself with how far you can go today.
VIRGO
With your communication skills, you're good at helping people who disagree with one another find ways to reach understanding. You've got a talent for creating space for reconciliation. It's easy for you to underestimate this subtle power. But don't! You can put it to great use today. It might be easier to turn away from a tricky situation. Yet if you find a way to be present, and stay calm, you can help defuse a tense scenario in a way that respects everyone, and smooths a path that leads to collaboration.
LIBRA
When plans go pear-shaped, or a situation doesn't turn out as expected, we sometimes react in a way that makes things worse than they need to be. We blame ourselves for the disappointment. Or we decide that life is unfair, and we were silly to ever think that things would turn out well/right. And if we're not careful, this can turn into a self-perpetuating negative cycle. Although recent events have left you feeling discouraged, they're not a sign of things to come. No. Here comes positive news that will give you a boost.
SCORPIO
Your perceptivity enables you to share special bonds with people who are on your wavelength. Actually, you find it so easy to tune in to others that you can form powerful connections with people who you have little in common with. Which doesn't, of course, mean that all your relationships/interactions are easy. Today brings a chance to gain insight into the mind of someone who you struggle to communicate with. If you can move beyond your preconceptions you'll be stunned (in a good way) by what unfolds.
SAGITTARIUS
We all know the benefits of a good diet: eating healthy foods makes us healthier. So, can we apply the same logic to our minds? If we train ourselves to focus on healthy thoughts, can we expect a similar effect on our mental wellbeing? Will our intellectual abilities increase and our conversational skills improve? It's definitely worth giving it a go! If you tap into your natural optimism today, and make healthy choices, you'll create a positive vibe that influences people around you. And together, you can make good things happen.
CAPRICORN
You're not the same person you were yesterday. It's not that you've transformed into someone else overnight. No. Nothing that dramatic. Yet slowly but surely, you're transitioning into the person you were born to be. With your ruler, Saturn, now retrograde, you're going back over some of your recent decisions, and wondering about their effectiveness. This kind of thinking is always a bit discombobulating. Yet it's an essential part of your learning. You're acquiring wisdom that will guide you towards a more fulfilling, brighter future.
AQUARIUS
You're not the kind of person who likes sitting around talking about doing things. With your innovative mind, you're never short of problem-solving ideas, which you (normally) don't hesitate to implement. So, the fact that you're uncertain about what action to take in order to sort out a situation that's causing you concern, is unsettling. Your best option today, is to try to set this issue aside. If you focus on other things, the plan you're struggling to put together will formulate in the back of your mind. Then you'll be able to implement it.
PISCES
You've been peeking over the metaphorical castle walls, and searching for signs of the cavalry, but so far, you've seen nothing to convince you that help is on its way. Meanwhile it's cold and lonely up on the ramparts; what you need is some company, a friendly chat, and a cup of tea. Today, if you stop looking towards the horizon for assistance, and turn your attention to the more mundane aspects of your world, you'll realise you've been overlooking someone who can provide you with the support you need. Yay!
