Aries
March 21 to April 20
The Sun dives deep today, at least for you, into the passionate, mystical Scorpio. This is a very misunderstood sign, but over the next month you have the chance to explore what is not so obvious, what lies a little out of sight, but also what can evolve deeply. It could be a time of profound transformation, where you become more invested, or decide to move on.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Many people talk about opposites attracting, and we do often see one quiet person paired with a more outgoing partner. It doesn’t always work, of course, and there are some connections that develop through being competitors, rivals, or simply people we don’t like. All of these themes will show up strongly for you over the next month, but just how for you Taurus?

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Are there some lifestyle choices that are ripe for change? You may know exactly what has been hovering in the back of your mind, calling out for attention, that you have been studiously ignoring. But now is the perfect time to open the door to them and start to find ways to make them part of your everyday routines. A new job could start to call out to you too.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
With the Sun’s passage through Libra ending today, you are set to transition from protective thinking to proactive go-getting. And yes, it can be fun. One area where you can find yourself wanting to revitalise things is your social world. Even if you are relatively happy with how things have been, adding an extra pulse of possibility and verve can bring more vibrancy and fun.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
It’s been a busy and vibrant time, and it’s unlikely that you will be complaining about the sparky encounters and conversations that you have enjoyed. Mind, that doesn’t mean you won’t appreciate a little pause, as by doing so you can let all the things that have happened percolate through you and really make sense of what some of them have meant.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
You might find yourself wanting to get more active. Skydiving? Coasteering? Running around the block, yes, you can do it? Well, if you are really keen maybe. Equally, you may just want to get more active with your hobbies and interests, develop your channel, upgrade your tech, pitch in with local stuff, or link up with more like-minded folk, online. Over to you!

Libra
September 24 to October 23
The last four weeks have been a time when you have had the chance to beaver away on a new project or interest, a business start-up, or reinvigorating an ongoing strand. Now you can start to figure out how things are shaping up. You will likely want to see tangible progress, maybe even financial improvement, but more than anything, to reinforce your sense of worth.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
You get one very large cosmic green light today, Scorpio, as the Sun powers into your sign, opening up your own personal portal of possibility. If you have been spending time carefully thinking about what your next steps can be, now you can find the spark to drive them forward. Your willpower, when activated, is awesome, and now you can show exactly how.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Even a go-getter like you, Archer, needs the odd period of rest and relaxation. As the Sun enters into your sector of reflection, the next month would be a fabulous time to get away from the hubbub and get some you-time. Now, if this is harder because of work, kids, routines and other demands, look to find your inner emotional temple at some point every day, where possible.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Chances are your view of your network, alliances or group activities is going to come sharply into focus. Goals and ambitions have been calling out to you of late, but the chance to spin out and enjoy connecting with friends can appeal. Mind, if you have been enjoying working with someone recently, you might decide to spend a night out together too.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Not every Aquarius is a born-again revolutionary, nor the zaniest member of the gang. Being a sign with two very different rulers, different things can appeal to different sensibilities. If you have more of a Saturnian work ethic, the desire to climb the ladder of success can call out now. More chilled out? Well, don’t be surprised if people defer to you more.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Your expansive streak can take hold now. This could be through changing up slightly tired routines or jetting off somewhere warm if you are a weary Fish. Equally, your appreciation of being fluid, ideal of course, can see you able to flex and pivot quicker than most, and you may soon find other, fresher interests start to spark your curiosity in a completely unplanned way.
