Taurus
April 19 – May 19
Ordinarily Friday’s Taurus New Moon would constitute a sort of personal new year. However, judging by the current powerful planetary setup, events will make many of those decisions for you. While the wisdom of some will be immediately clear, in others, it won’t — which means trusting circumstances in a manner that doesn’t come naturally, but will be worthwhile in ways you can’t possibly imagine.

Gemini
May 20 – June 19
Although the world — and especially you — tends to blame every obstacle on your ruler Mercury’s retrograde cycle, which began last Thursday, it’s not that simple. Actually, the powerful planetary focus on the most sensitive portion of your chart indicates that you’re at an intuitive peak, or, alternatively, somewhat paranoid. Since you’ll be unclear which is which for some weeks, for now, wait, watch and learn. Decisions? Later.

Cancer
June 20 – July 21
What seem to be mere misunderstandings are actually about complex, unspoken issues. Raising these could trigger unacknowledged doubts or deep emotions. So first, reflect on your own anxieties. Then raise them with others, ideally in a quiet setting, and when there’s time for discussion. Sound extreme? These matters are crucial. Your thoughtful planning will yield richly rewarding results.

Leo
July 22 – August 21
During May’s first half, your ruler, the Sun, aspects most of the planetary heavyweights. However, with the retrograde Mercury and Friday’s New Moon causing tremors at home and out in the world, it’s unlikely you’ll appreciate the thrilling events. Ironically, they’re breaking ground for shake-ups and the more exotic of these golden opportunities, which are an essential part of this process.

Virgo
August 22 – September 21
You’ll happily endure challenging situations if you know what you’re learning. While that’s the case until May 22, when your ruler Mercury’s retrograde cycle ends, those lessons won’t be clear. Besides, dramatic changes in your circumstances could trigger anxieties. Take a deep breath, wait, watch — and learn. Soon you’ll spot how much you’re benefiting from even disruptive events.

Libra
September 22 – October 21
Doing nothing while individuals are struggling with difficulties may seem uncaring. However, you’ll soon discover these matters are breaking ground for changes that will benefit both others and you. Meanwhile, do some decluttering. Certain once-prized arrangements are a nuisance. Challenging as admitting this is, it will free you from guilt and, in time, from those burdensome arrangements.

Scorpio
October 22 – November 20
This will not be a straightforward week. Knowing that, instead of struggling with tricky situations and the strange mood of others, you’ll reflect on your own circumstances. This means you’ll be in an ideal frame of mind to take advantage of the profound, if surprising, insights that accompany Friday’s New Moon. These will explain a lot about the uncertainties you feel.

Sagittarius
November 21 – December 20
There’s no avoiding the confusion that accompanies the retrograde Mercury. However, as it’s accenting various already perplexing practical or work matters, you’ll be amazed what you learn in the process of untangling even seemingly minor dilemmas. The trick is to take it slowly — true, that doesn’t come naturally to you. Still, your patience will be rewarded by the mysteries you solve, at least for the next couple of weeks.

Capricorn
December 21 – January 19
To you, as a painstaking Capricorn, the carelessness of others about details is nothing new. Now that Mercury is retrograde, however, a few of your own errors surface, some involving situations in which you’ve been trying to keep the upper hand. This is a subtle lesson from destiny about your tendency to manipulate others when being more forthright might work better in the long run.

Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
For ages there’s been talk about substantial alterations in elements of your work or lifestyle. While conversations help to relieve your tensions, taking things further is another matter. Serious as discussions seem, with Mercury retrograde until May 22, these ideas are more of a trial run. Still, while these changes aren’t happening this time around, it’s unlikely they’ll vanish.

Pisces
February 19 – March 19
Hopefully the relentless difficulties of recent weeks have hardened your heart to the moaning of certain serial complainers. If so, you’ll be able to ignore this week’s dramas and focus on the intriguing ideas being discussed. They’ve been in the air for ages. Now, there’s action. While they are nowhere near being settled, they’re so good, they could fulfil even your outrageous dreams.

Aries
March 20 – April 18
During May’s first half, things are unlikely to go as planned. In some cases, events will force you to put off or even abandon arrangements you’ve battled to organise. However, during this peculiar but magical period, those surprise twists and encounters will, at the very least, enrich your life. Annoying as it seems, take what comes. You’ll be amazingly better off for it, and within days.
