We're entering the Dark of the Moon. Traditionally, the time when the silvery orb almost disappears from the skies is known to be magical and mystical. No matter how practical we might be, our intuitive powers are heightened. We're more sensitive to people's moods, and our mind-reading skills are enhanced. As Venus (love and pleasure) conjoins with Saturn, the Cosmic Teacher, today, by following our inner voice, and taking practical steps, we can start turning dreams into realities.
Back when the world was still being charted, only seasoned explorers had access to the detailed maps that revealed hidden dangers or buried treasure.

This isn't just a glimpse of who you are - it's a detailed chart of the terrain ahead, showing every major challenge and opportunity waiting for you in the coming months.

ARIES
Optical Artists disorientate our minds by experimenting with colour, light, and geometric patterns. Their compositions engage the viewer by creating movement where there is none. The illusion is disorientating. In real life too, something can be right under our nose yet, for some reason, we're unable to accurately process the information. So, if we can be so easily deceived by what we see with our own eyes, what can we really believe? A confusion between an old idea and a new one reveals a real, exciting opportunity.
TAURUS
Suppose you say one thing, but do something different? That's OK, isn't it? After all, you're only human. It's not your fault that life seems to be composed of so many double standards. Life on our spinning ball of rock is, in essence, paradoxical: our souls are eternal, our bodies are not. And the chance of resolving this conundrum seems, to say the least, slim. But do we need to solve it? If something in your world doesn't seem to make sense today, know that it holds potential. The Venus/Saturn link promises a workable, exciting option.
GEMINI
We know that the Earth constantly orbits around the Sun. But do we care? Suppose it was the other way around? Of course, it matters. Not just to astrologers either! For starters, our ball of rock isn't big enough to be the centre of the solar system; life, as we know it, wouldn't exist. Yet the truth is that no matter how much we know about our cosmos, the planets keep doing what they do. There's no point wasting time seeking a perfect explanation today. In the magical Dark of the Moon, a mystery will unfold. It holds lots of promise.
CANCER
Sometimes, when we've been searching for something, and we eventually find it, it doesn't bring us the satisfaction we'd hoped for. This is summed up in a Morrissey lyric: 'I was looking for a job. And then I found a job. And heaven knows, I'm miserable now'! But you don't want to be miserable. Under the influence of the Dark of the Moon, when your ruler's disappearance from the night sky brings the potential for magic and mystery, you can find something you've been looking for and appreciate it. It gives you reasons to sing.
LEO
We find it easy to think of the things we haven't got. The problem is that when we focus on a sense of 'lack', it can become disproportionate to our actual needs. If there's something in your world you really need, know you've got the ability, and the support, to get it. The Dark of the Moon brings a chance to reflect and review your psychological shopping list. If you make time to review what you think you're missing, you'll find a way to bring it into your life. Once the gap is filled, you'll be able to turn your attention to an inspiring idea.
VIRGO
You're not quite Mary Poppins, but you're 'practically perfect'. Obviously, since you're a human being, like everyone else, you've got weaknesses. But you do your best to be the best you can be. And your self-awareness enables you to assess your shortfalls. But do you value your strengths? In this sensitive time of the Dark of the Moon, if you maximise your talents, you won't have to worry about navigating your weaknesses. Today's Venus/Saturn link brings an opportunity that deserves taking. Believe in yourself.
LIBRA
Who's best? You, or your best friend/loved one? Actually, it's a ridiculous question - what does 'best' actually mean? How can you even begin to approach answering it? For starters, we're all good at some things and less good at others. Like it or not, we're all made the way we are. Our task, is to make the best of what we've got. As your ruler, Venus, links with Saturn, the Cosmic Teacher today, if you stop comparing yourself to other people, you'll shine. You've got talents and gifts that deserve to be appreciated.
SCORPIO
You're blessed with intuitive powers. You often know when the phone's going to ring. You find yourself thinking about someone from the past, and then you hear news about them, or they reappear in your world. Under this Dark of the Moon, your psychic abilities are stronger than ever. Pay them close attention. They offer a potential new path forwards that leads to the way to realise a long-held dream. But be patient. Give yourself the time you need to listen to your inner voice of wisdom. The time to take action will come.
SAGITTARIUS
We don't value books by their weight and size. Just because something takes up loads of space on your bookshelf, and needs a huge time investment to read, doesn't mean it's worth more than a slim novel. Similarly, one simple phrase can penetrate our minds and hearts with such accuracy that we never forget it. It's all about context and timing. The Dark of the Moon brings moments of brilliance. To fully experience their effects, don't lose yourself in the situation that's demanding so much of your time. Stay alert to small, new options.
CAPRICORN
Thank goodness for you. You're a determined Capricorn. When everyone else gives up, you persevere. Although you tend to be cautious about which ventures you embark on, you've got a passionate side, and when it kicks in, you're unstoppable. Today, as Venus, the planet of love and creativity, links to your ruler, Saturn, your passion-levels are high. Excellent. If you direct your energy towards something you really care about, you can move mountains. In an emotional situation that means a lot, you can make outstanding progress.
AQUARIUS
The fact is that you're unique. Although there are over 8 billion other people alive on planet Earth right now, no one else is identical to you. It's mind-blowing. You don't follow a specific pattern. Nor are you restricted by the characteristics you've inherited. And being an innovative Aquarian, the idea of learning new skills and developing talents fills you with excitement. You can even retrain yourself to lose a bad habit, and make space for a new one. In the Dark of the Moon, you discover more about your potential. Yay!
PISCES
'Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them'. This Shakespeare line is relevant because, under the Dark of the Moon, although you're caught up in a confusing situation (not, fortunately as complex as the one in The Bard's 'Twelfth Night'), you'll be able to see its amusing side. If you can look beyond the ridiculousness of this scenario, you'll be able to take a leading role that brings it to a delightful ending. You might not get a standing ovation, but you'll gain respect.
