Pisces
February 19 – March 19
Wednesday’s Pisces eclipsed New Moon is about breakthroughs. You’ll assume that means you’ll surmount certain obstacles, while other developments will resolve persistent dilemmas. That’s possible, but eclipses are about the unpredictable — events that come from nowhere and, initially, seem worrying. Looking back, however, you’ll recognise them as the turning point you’d been praying for, albeit in unexpected form.

Aries

March 20 – April 18
While many signs adore being lauded for being virtuous, Aries regards it as boring. Yet since early this year, you’ve been exactly that, dealing with one tiresome duty after another, and not enjoying any of them much. Consequently, today’s departure by your ruler, Mars, from painstaking Scorpio, with its obsessive ways, into restless, inquisitive Sagittarius is reason to celebrate. Finally, life will once again be fun.

Taurus

April 19 – May 19
Accepting the fact that you can do little about this week’s numerous changes — most as disruptive as they are unexpected — won’t be easy. Yet these are ending restrictive arrangements and drawing you, and often others, into new and potentially profitable pursuits — however unlikely that seems now. Out of character as it may be, go with the flow. In retrospect, you’ll be delighted you did.

Gemini

May 20 – June 19
Judging by the planetary focus on your worldly pursuits in general, and your objectives in particular, you’re assessing and, often, rethinking plans. You needn’t bother. With Wednesday’s eclipse accenting this portion of your chart and shaking things up, unexpected events will do the job more exquisitely than you’d imagine possible. Meanwhile, consider what could go. The less clutter you have to contend with, the better.

Cancer

June 20 – July 21
Ordinarily, the New Moon is about stillness and reflection. However, because Wednesday’s is an eclipse, which itself indicates shake-ups, and is surrounded by powerful planetary activity, the pace will be swift and events unexpected but welcome — at least in the long run. Knowing that, adopt a wait and watch approach. This allows you to make decisions once, and, when you’re able to, do so wisely.

Leo

July 22 – August 21
You don’t think of yourself as a control freak — until weeks like this one, when most decisions are up to others. Ordinarily, you’d get involved anyway. Do that now and others will assume you distrust their judgment. Back off. Explore less pressing but intriguing offers. That way, by the week’s close, there’ll be joint celebrations — the exciting news of others’ and your own unique achievements.

Virgo

August 22 – September 21
The current focus on close alliances, personal or professional, indicates you must win over those who just can’t agree to what’s clearly common sense. This is tedious but, oddly, being forced to find ways to win over these individuals gets you thinking about wonderful new ideas. That, in turn, leads to a timely and more flexible approach all round.

Libra

September 22 – October 21
By the time this week begins, you’ll probably already be aware that certain familiar elements of your life need to change. For now, these are mostly about work, obligations and your daily routine. Yet you may already feel the tremors that will climax with the Libra eclipsed Full Moon on the 23rd. By then, you’ll be experiencing breakthroughs as timely as they are surprising.

Scorpio

October 22 – November 20
Having spent the past weeks wrestling with changes, especially those that involve what’s going and what can remain in various areas of your life, you need a break. You get it — sort of. While the planetary focus shifts to what and who bring you joy, Wednesday’s eclipse triggers timely changes there, too. Unsettling as they seem, deep down you’ll be grateful they took place.

Sagittarius

November 21 – December 20
By no means do you battle change. However, you might not welcome the events triggered by the eclipsed New Moon on Wednesday, mostly because these accent the structure of your life, which means one change would lead to others, a number of them complicated. Still, for ages you’ve known these were overdue. Now destiny is taking a hand in making them happen.

Capricorn

December 21 – January 19
Between this week’s planetary shifts and Wednesday’s solar eclipse, there will be extensive discussion about change in the world, others’ lives and your own. While those on the world front are mere topics for discussion, eventually you’ll need to strike an accord on more personal matters, and that won’t be easy. Unappealing as compromise seems, it’s the best bet. Besides, you’ll soon be rethinking those arrangements anyway.

Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
This is yet another in the series of weeks during which you’ve been watching certain elements of your life come undone. While, in some cases, this has been a relief, in others it’s been distressing. Or, better put, it was. You’ve since begun to realise how attached you’ve become to restrictive arrangements. It’s the same now. Worrying as what’s going seems, ultimately, it’s no loss.
