Aries
March 21 to April 20
For the first time in eighteen years, the Sun in Leo goes face to face with the powerful Point of Destiny in Aquarius. Leo energy is fabulous for showcasing our individual brilliance, but the North Node in the Water Bearer asks us to think about how this links to others. If you can both be creative and collaborative, you will be working with this influence perfectly, Aries.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
There may be familiar patterns at the root of your life which provide enormous reassurance and comfort, rather like a well worn but comfy pair of cosmic slippers. However, the North Node today, and the omnipresent powers of Pluto in Aquarius, are asking you to dare to consider a new bolder, and less routine approach. This may seem daunting but holds great promise.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Our belief systems can be the foundation of our identities, even if they can change over time. The planets are asking you today, just to check in with some of yours, and ask are they ripe for an upgrade? It’s not for anyone else to adjudicate this, but if you can take a step outside of yourself, and scan the big picture, it maybe you are drawn towards a refreshed version.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Benevolence takes many forms, and whether yours shows up in looking out for family members, animal rescue, or keeping an eye on someone next door who is older or unwell, it’s part of you. Equally, this is a time when your values, the foundation stone of our lives, may see a shift. It’s not that this will happen speedily, but how you view resources, can change.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
As the Sun in Leo meets with the potent South Node, this can be an incredibly transformative time in your life. For as much as the cluster of players in the sign of the Lion can see you strut your stuff with added pizzazz, if you are a little too focused on your internal needs and situation, there may be an opportunity for connection and cooperation that speeds by.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
For eighteen months, full time, the influential Pluto, has been nudging you towards changing your approach to fitness, nutrition, diet, exercise, rest and routines. If you have embraced this, you’re likely see some promising results. If you do a job however, that you feel unsatisfied in, today’s Sun/North Node link asks to be bold and break free – if it no longer inspires.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Of all the zodiac signs, you have an appreciation of what’s gained by working collaboratively. In recent times you may though have wondered if this has seen your talents overshadowed. And you are right to be conscious of this. As much as your goodwill is an asset and helpful, show casing your brilliance is equally essential, as the next eighteen months can show.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
When we are very young, expectations, boundaries and rules, shape our future connection to the world. These can be imparted thoughtfully, and protectively, or can come more from the demand to conform, and to fit in with well established traditions. Over time we can learn to find our own way. Today, you get a chance to get a closer connection to your true values.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Knowledge per se, doesn’t relate to insight. There are those who can recite Greek and Roman literature, and use wit and intellect to make their points, but lack empathy and sincerity. Information can be exchanged rapidly today, and you may encounter someone who is indeed very bright. But keep on keeping on with that defines your way of sharing your ideas, Archer.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
The Sun’s meeting with the South Node today is highlighting areas where you have become very skilled and relied on established methods to achieve results. Yet the North Node in Aquarius asks you to consider whether there are new approaches, technologies or connections which could make life easier. Some of your key values can also be ripe for review.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
For the first time over eighteen years you have a unique opportunity to reflect about your role in relationships and wider groups. You have a natural instinct to think of the collective, but today’s vibes remind you that your own needs and creativity also matter. Balancing being available to others whilst celebrating your individuality is the key here, Aquarius.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
There can be times when we are so focused on being helpful, adaptable or supportive that we overlook our own personal journey. Today as the Sun in Leo and the Nodes of fate interact, they encourage you to look at what has become routine in your daily life, and whether it still reflects who you are becoming. A subtle shift now can help you feel more aligned and inspired.
