Cancer

June 22 to July 23

Ever since the restless Uranus moved into airy Gemini a month ago, you’ve likely experienced lots of interesting insights and had some powerful inner realisations. With the Sun joining up with him now, you enter your annual period of reflection. Your openness to different forms of healing will grow from now, and so will the part of you that likes solitude.

Leo

July 24 to August 23

New and interesting people have caught your imagination recently, and you may have spent more time socialising with those who, in the past, may not have appealed.

Libra

September 24 to October 23

Although you can be very attuned to your interactions with others, the Sun’s arrival in your sister air sign of Gemini is pushing you to be much more independent-minded from now on. If there are interests you’d like to pursue that would allow you to be more adventurous and expansive, they can give you a real sense of exhilaration. Don’t believe anything is out of reach.

Scorpio

October 24 to November 22

Your gift is for teasing out the meaning of situations, even if they’re not immediately obvious. With the Sun moving into the chatty Gemini, you could have some bubbly conversations over the next month, but you’ll be deciphering what people’s true motivations are. Through these exchanges, you can learn or evolve at a deeper, more psychological, but profound level.

Capricorn

December 22 to January 21

Today is a great opportunity to conduct an in-depth lifestyle audit. Even if you feel that you’re organised, virtuous in what you eat and drink, or the amount of exercise you get, the chances are that if you do this, you will tease out some other opportunities to make some small but important incremental changes. Achieving such marginal gains can prove satisfying and helpful.

Pisces

February 20 to March 20

The chances are you’ve been so busy recently, Pisces, it’s been hard to catch your breath.
