Capricorn
December 21 – January 18
No sign is better at confronting — and dealing with — obstacles than yours. Yet, ironically, the less you do about, or even discuss, the difficulties indicated by clashes this week and next between Mars and Venus with your ruler, Saturn, the better. By late January, you’ll know enough to act wisely. Until then, wait, watch and learn.

Aquarius
January 19 – February 17
Although you don’t notice, you have a powerful sense of right and wrong. When this is aroused by events or, perhaps, somebody’s words or actions, you’ll usually speak up. For now, though, say nothing. Your reaction is triggered by unsettled elements or your evolving ideals or objectives, and, as a result, your thinking and values are in transition.

Pisces
February 18 – March 19
While your intuitive Piscean nature understands why seemingly unfair events are essential, your more rational side and, worse, certain relentlessly logical individuals are ready to battle those changes. Tempting as it is to explain, don’t. Stand back and allow destiny’s exquisite plan to unfold, in ways as elegant as they are unexpected.

Aries
March 20 – April 18
Watching cherished arrangements come undone isn’t easy. Still, trust instincts that say these should go. Sudden changes and even seemingly profound losses are decluttering your life — and mind — and preparing you for the powerful cycle that begins with your ruler Mars’s move into Aries on January 28. The freer you are to respond to what arises then, the better.

Taurus
April 19 – May 19
Sometimes obstacles are mere difficulties to be overcome. But those you’re facing are prompting an exploration of arrangements that involve the tricky combination of money and friends, family or even colleagues. These could be costing everybody big time. Bizarrely, somebody — you, perhaps — is battling potential improvements.

Gemini
May 20 – June 20

Your ruler Mercury’s retrograde cycle ended last Sunday, yet you’re still saying little about potentially unsettling issues. This is wise. Certain seemingly simple situations just don’t make sense. Wait and watch until Mercury’s encounter with Pluto on January 31 exposes those unspoken facts for everybody to see, discuss and deal with.

Cancer
June 21 – July 21
Although the Cancer Full Moon was last Thursday, you’re still dealing with the fallout. While this may be unsettling, especially the conversations about previously unspoken emotional matters, it’s time these were discussed and dealt with. Shifts in unchanging habits at home or in your working life may be disorientating, but are very timely indeed.

Leo
July 22 – August 21
Recently, you’ve wrestled with the confusion triggered by the retrograde Mercury, especially seemingly pointless changes. While that seems true now, they’re actually breaking up a pattern that, although familiar, is holding you back from an extensive if timely reorganisation. Let go. Within weeks you’ll be compensated by developments as thrilling as they are unexpected.

Virgo
August 22 – September 21
The current planetary setup is challenging you to do the impossible — that is, to stop analysing every idea, event or plan and either act swiftly or clear your mind. Unrealistic as this seems, go for it. Your efforts are preparing you for the life-changing insights and, perhaps, offers triggered by your ruler Mercury’s encounter with Pluto, on January 28.

Libra
September 22 – October 22
Tidying up your desk, wardrobe or even your home is one thing. However, the complex issues you’re currently tackling are another matter, mostly because, being unspoken, you can’t actually define these problems — and neither can others. Employ your Libra diplomacy to tackle these together and, within a surprisingly short time, you’ll have them dealt with.

Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Deep within, you know what you want from life. However, you can’t yet express that vision to others and are short of details yourself. You need to reflect until Mercury’s meeting with your ruler, Pluto, on January 28, brings it and words together into ideas you can discuss and, eventually, turn into action.

Sagittarius
November 22 – December 20
Usually you welcome developments that clear the way for the excitement of the new. However, you’re still recovering from recent dramas, so for now, you’re better observing life-changing events from the sidelines. Once you’re in a position to deal with these, you’ll view them from an entirely different, and more upbeat, perspective.
