12 Month Predictor

Hi Daniel,

As the planets move through the heavens in their individual orbits they form angles to the positions that the planets occupied at the time of your birth. This report interprets the way these planetary movements affect you as an individual, and explains how they influence your relationships, your work, your moods, and every aspect of your life. It will also provide guidance as to how you can make the most of opportunities when they arise, as well as helping you to maximize your strengths, and minimize your weaknesses.

Understanding your 12 Month Predictor Forecast

Please note, at the beginning of your 12 Month Predictor, you will find your birth chart and aspect grid with a list of the planet aspects of your birth chart. What follows are interpretations of transiting planets and the aspects, they make to the planet positions of your birth chart.

Your 12 Month Predictor should only be used as a helpful guide. At all time, it is for you to choose the best path to follow from what is written below and develop the most positive and rewarding parts of your character.

Important

The accuracy of your given birth time can significantly affect the timing of the interpretations, especially in relation to your Ascendant, Midheaven and Moon. Therefore, if you are unsure of your exact birth time, less attention should be paid to interpretations relating to your Ascendant, Midheaven and Moon.

Developing or Exaggerating Trends

Jupiter trends from 1st February 2025 to 31st January 2026

January 9th to March 1st 2025

Retrograde

Increasing Order - Alleviating Difficulties - Improving Status

Transiting Jupiter Retrograde Sextiles your natal Saturn

Whether or not more hectic or exciting planetary influences are around now, this one provides you with a sense of equilibrium and of the value of sobriety. You acknowledge and accept where your duties lie, and consequently go about performing them in a measured and matter-of-fact fashion. Anything that requires you to be serious or solitary, can be confidently undertaken now. At the very least, this period will help you to accept reality more.

SIGNIFICANCE: This is a mild influence, and you probably need to apply some conscious effort in order to reap its benefits.

POSSIBLE ENCOUNTERS: Happy Responsibilities - Clear Objectives - Practical Solutions

THEME: Opportunities to appreciate you Saturn Profile, through creating a balance between vision and caution.

January 10th to February 28th 2025

Retrograde

Increased Drive - Confident Self-Assertion - Motivation and Initiative

Transiting Jupiter Retrograde Sextiles your natal Mars

Because at this time you have an air of conviction and generosity, others can tune into it and are therefore willing to support or follow you. But the essential point to grasp is that initial sense of optimism, because this is the seed from which a chain reaction of encouragement and mutual advantage will grow. As soon as you act from this positive starting point, the world at large begins dancing to your tune - simply because it likes it!

SIGNIFICANCE: This is a mild influence, and you probably need to apply some conscious effort in order to reap its benefits.

POSSIBLE ENCOUNTERS: Successful Launches - Sexual Adventures - Enthusiasm

THEME: Opportunities to make more of your Mars Profile, as a result of feeling encouraged to make something happen.

February 12th to March 12th 2025

Increased Sense of Self - Full Life - Self-importance - Overextended

Transiting Jupiter Squares your natal Sun

If you are normally on the shy or self-effacing side, now is a good time to get more in touch with your self-esteem and sense of enterprise, or you will encounter an excess of the same qualities in others. If you are usually fairly (or apparently) confident, you could find yourself being overbearing, too busy - and unlucky, through expecting too much. In either case though, there should be an urge to expand - but how you gauge this is the critical issue.

SIGNIFICANCE: This is a strong to medium influence that challenges you to develop in proportion to your relevant strengths and weaknesses.

POSSIBLE ENCOUNTERS: Opportunities for Growth - Big Egos - Fat Chances - Joy

THEME: Forced emphasis on your Sun Profile, giving you a stronger sense of being alive - for better or worse.

February 22nd to March 16th 2025

Furthering Professional Image - Improving Domestic Scene

Transiting Jupiter Sextiles your natal MidHeaven

At present you experience encouragement or advancement with regard to your chosen profession. The work that you have put in over the previous years now begins to show dividends. You have an aura of success about you, which is what actually attracts it. So do not be dispirited if, say, an offer turns out to be no more than that.

Jupiter is giving you a sign of things to come. So respond to this with increased optimism and an inner sense of self-esteem, but guard against being over-optimistic and feeling crestfallen later. This is also a time when you may make positive changes in your home, which would further increase that good feeling about yourself. Other planetary periods notwithstanding, you are in a 'gain mode' right now. Perceiving and accepting with grace and modesty what that gain actually is will ensure its continuance.

SIGNIFICANCE: This is a mild influence, and you probably need to apply some conscious effort in order to reap its benefits.

POSSIBLE ENCOUNTERS: Influential Connections - Recognition - Inner Support

THEME: Opportunities to make more of your Midheaven Profile, through a better understanding of your place in the world, and even actually elevating it.

March 12th to 28th 2025

Pleasant Gatherings - Attracting Joy and Prosperity - Happy Trails

Transiting Jupiter Trines your natal Venus

This is all about "the more you give, the more you get". Whatever you have been investing in life, emotionally or financially, can bring about dividends now. And whatever you give out now is sure to breed happiness in the future - if, or because, you feel the generosity of Life itself flowing through you. You'll get the best out of this influence by fully appreciating its qualities rather than merely indulging in them, which can be the temptation. Spent well or squandered.

SIGNIFICANCE: This is a medium strength influence that allows you to make progress with relative ease and support. It rewards past efforts.

POSSIBLE ENCOUNTERS: Romance - Bringers of Goodwill - Value for Money/Windfalls

THEME: Chances to make more of your Venus Profile through appreciating your capacity for giving and receiving love better.

April 4th to 17th 2025

Increased Knowledge - Seeing Ahead - Happy Talk - Work Improvement

Transiting Jupiter Trines your natal Mercury

Any kind of negotiation or strategy can be successfully accomplished or devised under this influence. So, if there is a point you wish to grasp or convey, a subject you'd like to know more about, a journey to make, or a position you want - then now is the time to go for it. This is mainly because, during this period, you have the maximum number of facts at your fingertips, plenty of ideas, and a winning way about you.

SIGNIFICANCE: This is a medium strength influence that allows you to make progress with relative ease and support. It rewards past efforts.

POSSIBLE ENCOUNTERS: Job Opportunities - Further Education - Adventure Trips

THEME: Chances to make more of your Mercury Profile through better understanding and increased use of your intellectual potentials.

April 27th to May 7th 2025

Power Plays - Increased Ambition - Exaggerated Fears or Obsessions

Transiting Jupiter Squares your natal Pluto

One way or the other, now is a time when you get more in touch and involved with what needs changing and improving, and with the necessary force and will that can make this possible. But this can be rather like Aladdin and his Lamp, because the 'genie' of power and ambition that you summon up may well turn against you - however well-intentioned you thought you were.

Therefore, be ruthlessly honest and careful about your motivation to gain any particular position or object, because the desire to serve the whole rather than just yourself is the only motivation that will truly justify, and indeed guide, your actions now. If your intentions are not principled, then things could blow up in your face. On the other hand though, avoid being falsely modest, because this would cause you to miss out on the opportunity that is presently in the air.

SIGNIFICANCE: This is a strong to medium influence that challenges you to develop in proportion to your relevant strengths and weaknesses.

POSSIBLE ENCOUNTERS: Provocation/Confrontation - Crises of Opinion - Legal Conflicts

THEME: Forced emphasis upon your Pluto Profile, in order that you appreciate the nature of power and hidden influences in your life.

May 8th to 18th 2025

Feeling Good - Increased Security - Happy Families

Transiting Jupiter Sextiles your natal Moon

This is not a particularly powerful influence, but you can make the most out of it by investing time and energy in whatever makes you and others feel safe and comfortable. And the more you cultivate what is familiar and nest-like, the more you'll attract goodwill from others. When linked with more dynamic influences, this time could be one of prosperity or securing something important.

SIGNIFICANCE: This is a mild influence, and you probably need to apply some conscious effort in order to reap its benefits.

POSSIBLE ENCOUNTERS: Nature's Gifts - Religious Influences - Good Women

THEME: Opportunities to make more of your Moon Profile, through understanding your own and others' needs better.

May 25th to June 4th 2025

Belief Versus Freedom - Increasingly Radical - Exaggerated Uniqueness

Transiting Jupiter Squares your natal Uranus

You feel that 'something's got to give', and if it doesn't then you'll make it do so! Whatever happens now is in aid of giving you a stronger sense of 'you' as a one-off individual. This can mean being constantly pulled this way and that as your morals conflict with your urge to be free, or, for example, it might suddenly land you with the opportunity to do something entirely different.

Restlessness can be a particularly disruptive force in you right now, but you could more than satisfy such feelings through simply doing something that you'd never normally do. The pull or desirability of investing your time and energy in new ways of living and looking at life is strong now. Such involvements can act as a springboard into a fresh chapter in your life, where the world is more your oyster than ever it was before.

SIGNIFICANCE: This is a strong to medium influence that challenges you to develop in proportion to your relevant strengths and weaknesses.

POSSIBLE ENCOUNTERS: Unexpected Chances - Significant Coincidences - Release of Tension

THEME: The forced emphasis of your Uranus Profile, through magnifying your desire to be true to yourself.

June 1st to 11th 2025

Positive Thinking - Philanthropic Plans - Increased Scope

Transiting Jupiter Sextiles your natal Jupiter

If things are going well right now, this will make them go better - or you could just sit back and coast for a while. If matters are difficult, this period can attract some much needed luck or help. It also highlights journeys and studying. You are able to see more, and see further, so this is a good time to make plans, or put them forward. Whatever your circumstances, you should feel that someone up there loves you!

SIGNIFICANCE: This is a mild influence, and you probably need to apply some conscious effort in order to reap its benefits.

POSSIBLE ENCOUNTERS: Financial or Legal Ease - Optimism - Goodwill - Prestige

THEME: Chances to make more of your Jupiter Profile through simply trusting in your beliefs.

June 9th to 19th 2025

Expanding Your Viewpoint - Improving Relationships

Transiting Jupiter Trines your natal Ascendant

You feel a growing sense of largesse with regard to your attitude towards other people and life in general. You begin to see more of the total picture of life, and your place in it. This can have decidedly religious or philosophical overtones, and you have less time for petty thoughts and petty people.

But you are also feeling quite philanthropic, and are more inclined to point out the wider issues of a given subject. Naturally enough, your current urge to take more in would be well satisfied through some course of study, because all knowledge and experience is like food and wine to you now. So eat, drink and be merry!

SIGNIFICANCE: This is a medium strength influence that allows you to make progress with relative ease and support. It rewards past efforts.

POSSIBLE ENCOUNTERS: Mutual Profit and Understanding - Enlightened Perspectives

THEME: Opportunities to make more of your Ascendant Profile, through enlarging your sense of being in the world, thereby attracting rewarding relationships.

July 24th to August 3rd 2025

Excess Energy - Confidently Assertive - Overreaching/Over-reacting

Transiting Jupiter Squares your natal Mars

You could be rather arrogant at this time - or you'll cross swords with someone who is. It would be a pity to waste this surge of personal drive merely on feeling indignant, so try to channel such energy into a constructive pursuit. But even if you do get on your high horse or fly off the handle, you are likely to discover 'muscles' you didn't know you had. But a mixture of moderation and taking the initiative would be the best way of harnessing this force. However, failing to express your desires or being unsure of your own space at this time could give rise to inner tension.

SIGNIFICANCE: This is a strong to medium influence that challenges you to develop in proportion to your relevant strengths and weaknesses.

POSSIBLE ENCOUNTERS: Collisions with Authority - Lustfulness - Selling - Sport

THEME: The forced emphasis of your Mars Profile, through an exaggerated urge to put yourself forward or to come first.

July 24th to August 3rd 2025

Growing Beyond Restrictions - Increased Responsibility

Transiting Jupiter Squares your natal Saturn

Now you are looking for - and have the opportunity to discover - a balance between what is realistically possible and desirable to maintain, and what adjustments have to be made to your situations and expectations. You then find that over-optimism is promptly flattened, and that playing it too carefully creates boredom or frustration.

So this is very much a time of trial and error; do not expect to have a ready answer borne of some theory. Such reliable guidelines are, in fact, what you are establishing during this period. However, wherever you are genuinely sure of yourself, this period will eventually confirm it.

SIGNIFICANCE: This is a strong to medium influence that challenges you to develop in proportion to your relevant strengths and weaknesses.

POSSIBLE ENCOUNTERS: Growing Pains - Serious Agreements - Decision Making

THEME: Forced emphasis upon your Saturn Profile, through having to understand your fears and responsibilities better.

July 29th to August 9th 2025

Return to Health - Lust for Life - Increased Will and Vitality

Transiting Jupiter Trines your natal Sun

This is a very positive time for you - so make the most of it. Equally, do not waste it, because there can be an inclination to just cruise along and then have nothing to show for it later. There is the probability of putting your life on a better footing - or at least, there will be a sense of things being all for the best ultimately. Anything that furthers you physically or mentally can be fruitfully embarked upon now.

SIGNIFICANCE: This is a medium strength influence that allows you to make progress with relative ease and support. It rewards past efforts.

POSSIBLE ENCOUNTERS: Successful Launches - Happy Travels - Financial Gain

THEME: Opportunities to make more of your Sun Profile, through having a greater sense of being alive.

September 17th to October 3rd 2025

Positive Changes - Increasing Insight - Mounting Influence

Transiting Jupiter Sextiles your natal Pluto, REPEATED when retrograde from 19th December 2025 to 5th January 2026. Exact 28th December

Generally, this is a time when you can improve anything that needs improving. The secret is to approach and launch any such activities in a spirit of everyone benefiting from them; you then find that "the more you give, the more you get" is, in fact, a Law of the Universe rather than just a nice idea. You also notice during this period that the world itself is more alive to this Law - and is all the more so for your personally taking advantage of it.

SIGNIFICANCE: This is a mild influence, and you probably need to apply some conscious effort in order to reap its benefits.

POSSIBLE ENCOUNTERS: Good Turns - Regeneration - Gains - Support from High Places

THEME: Opportunities to make more of your Pluto Profile, through experiencing a stronger sense of wealth and power.

October 4th to November 3rd 2025

Buoyant Emotions - Exaggerated Feelings - Security Conscious

Transiting Jupiter Squares your natal Moon, REPEATED when retrograde from 19th November 2025 to 18th December 2025. Exact 7th December

You are liable to get carried away by the mood of the moment at present; so a lot depends upon what is currently preoccupying you. If you are stressed, then count to ten, because you could make a mountain out of a molehill - but then you shouldn't miss this opportunity to get in touch with your emotions. On the other hand, harmonious circumstances (indicated by other planetary influences) will allow you to feel very much a part of your surroundings, feeling closer than ever to others - especially family members and loved ones.

However, make sure that such people do not absorb too much of your psychic energy. All in all, this is a time to start putting your truest emotions on the map, understanding past influences, and setting a positive trend for future security.

SIGNIFICANCE: This is a strong to medium influence that challenges you to develop in proportion to your relevant strengths and weaknesses.

POSSIBLE ENCOUNTERS: Sentimentality - Reconciliation - Over-reactions - Mothering

THEME: Forced emphasis upon your Moon Profile, giving you a stronger sense of where you belong and how you behave.

Stabilizing or Testing Trends

Saturn trends from 1st February 2025 to 31st January 2026

February 28th to March 18th 2025

Motivation Check - Necessity versus Desire - Reviewing Matters

Transiting Saturn Opposes your natal Pluto

You now have to have a long hard look at whatever it is that you have set in motion, at what caused you to do so, and how (and whether) you can continue with it - at all, or in the same fashion. If your plans and ambitions correspond with your relationships and circumstances, then you will be free to proceed. In fact, the way could open up powerfully now, meeting your priorities as if by magic, and setting your circumstances for some years to come. If, however, you encounter resistance to your intentions, then either you will have to work extremely hard to satisfy them, or, you will need to meet others half way by making it clear that you both have an equal and valid role to play.

SIGNIFICANCE: This is a strong influence and usually attracts confrontations that, in turn, increase your awareness of the matter concerned.

POSSIBLE ENCOUNTERS: Cutting Losses - Powerful Resistance - Hidden Strengths

THEME: Having to be practical and objective about matters relating to your Pluto Profile, which involves your reconciling deep feelings with reality.

April 8th to 27th 2025

Stable Inspiration - Gentle But Firm - Understanding Weaknesses

Transiting Saturn Trines your natal Neptune, REPEATED when retrograde from 3rd October 2025 to 7th November 2025. Exact 18th October and again when direct from 17th December 2025 to 19th January 2026. Exact 6th January 2026

This influence lets you keep a steady fix on what has been previously elusive or illusory. Fancies become facts as you hold in focus finer feelings long enough for them to become installed as established traits of personality, and real parts of your life, rather than just passing whims. So this is an auspicious time for any pursuits that require you to be both grounded and inspired - such as metaphysics, any form of artistic activity, charity work, yoga, etc, as well as accepting and dealing with soft or blind spots in yourself and others.

SIGNIFICANCE: This is a medium strength influence that allows you to make progress with relative ease and support. It rewards past efforts.

POSSIBLE ENCOUNTERS: Practical Idealism - Altruism - Creative Productivity

THEME: Opportunities to be practical and objective with regard to your Neptune Profile, thereby enabling you, and others, to benefit from your sensitivity.

April 20th to May 10th 2025

Inhibiting Freedom - Necessity for Change - Purposeful Liberation

Transiting Saturn Opposes your natal Uranus, REPEATED when retrograde from 16th September 2025 to 14th October 2025. Exact 30th September and again when direct from 9th January 2026 to 2nd February 2026. Exact 23rd January

Essentially, this is a time when you have to ascertain what structures and habits in your life are keeping you chained to people, or situations, that do not (or no longer) serve your most individual interests and goals. If you are fearful or unconscious of making any necessary changes in aid of this, then you'll be in for a tense time, which could even create (subsequent) health problems. Alternatively, the difficulty will be the disruption any changes will cause; not to you, but to those closely involved with you.

The trick is firstly to find a good reason (the actual reason) for making a change; and secondly, to appreciate that resisting this need for change will eventually make a disaster out of a mere dilemma; for both yourself and others. Ruts are only so far from being graves. But, most importantly, it is the most individualistic aspects of your life - be it your beliefs, lifestyle or whatever - that are put to the test. This means that at some point you have to create a balance between your principles and material necessities, or, to sacrifice one for the other.

SIGNIFICANCE: This is a strong influence and usually attracts confrontations that, in turn, increase your awareness of the matter concerned.

POSSIBLE ENCOUNTERS: A Parting of Ways - Worthwhile Causes - Feeling Held Back

THEME: Having to be practical and objective with matters relating to your Uranus Profile, through establishing what freedom and the uniqueness of 'Self' means for you.

Awakening or Disrupting Trends

Uranus trends from 1st February 2025 to 31st January 2026

April 15th to May 21st 2025

Disrupting Illusions - Shocking Comprehension - General Awakening

Transiting Uranus Opposes your natal Neptune

How you experience this time has a lot to do with how alive you are to the wonder of it all. There could be the extreme of feeling so high or low that you find it hard to function normally at all, or, the extreme of feeling very bored or frustrated as a result of habitually resisting the mysterious, intellectually unfathomable, or your spiritual obligation.

In any event, yours is now a case of waking up to the subtler, more sensitive and universal issues and areas of life; finding out how they work, how you can positively involve yourself in them, and not getting caught out trying to avoid them - either through reasoning them away as being merely 'strange', or through abuse of drugs or alcohol.

Either of these escape routes could lead to mental or physical health problems later on - or simply waste years of your life. It is better that you now plunge into an alternative philosophy of life that offers some form of creative or practical explanation of what is happening to you. But try to exercise some discrimination in how you go about this.

SIGNIFICANCE: This is a strong influence, and usually attracts confrontations that in turn increase your awareness of the matter concerned.

POSSIBLE ENCOUNTERS: Startling (In)Sights - Generational Revolutions and/or Disillusionment

THEME: Forced awareness of your Neptune Profile through experiencing extremes of emotion, such as grief, ecstasy, allergy, anti-climax, enchantment, etc.

May 8th to June 13th 2025

Ringing the Changes - Awakening Originality - Befriending the Truth

Transiting Uranus Trines your natal Uranus, REPEATED when retrograde from 5th December 2025 to 2nd April 2026. Exact 6th January 2026

This experience occurs twice in one's life; in your late twenties and mid-fifties. If you are experiencing the first, then you are probably attracting certain changes in your life that reflect your need to go your own way, or, situations that put you (once) more in touch with young and idealistic feelings. Now you see, or should be seeing, the future in a positive light, with your true reason for being alive as a primary consideration.

If you are experiencing the second, then you could well be reflecting upon where you have not been true to your real sense of self and purpose, and upon using this chance to break away from stale patterns and introduce something new into your life that blows away the cobwebs and helps you to see life in a more hopeful and inventive way, where the unexpected is again seen to be a vital ingredient to life's recipe. Early retirement possibly, to do what you always wanted to do.

SIGNIFICANCE: This is a medium strength influence that allows you to make progress with relative ease and support. It rewards past efforts.

POSSIBLE ENCOUNTERS: Youthful Ideas and People - Alternative Approaches

THEME: Opportunities to attune yourself to your Uranus Profile, thereby enabling you to think more freely, and then act and feel more freely.

June 4th to July 16th 2025

Unusual Opportunities - Awakening Faith - Disrupting Beliefs

Transiting Uranus Squares your natal Jupiter, REPEATED when retrograde from 28th October 2025 to 18th December 2025. Exact 22nd November

Your life is now slipping, or rather jumping, into a different and higher gear. This is an 'anything can happen' period, so the freer and more open to new experience you are, the more you will profit from it. Whatever does happen though, will be in aid of broadening your horizons - be it through travel, study, a job, a move, a stroke of luck, or a relationship.

As time goes by, you see more and more what 'it' is all about, and this sets a long-term pattern of how you go about determining and reaching your goal in life. For this reason, it is important that you do seize any significant opportunity that comes along now - because it has 'Made in Heaven' written on it - rather than your just continuing to amble along with a safe but stale lifestyle, which would be a possible but rather indifferent way of responding to Chance or Lady Luck.

In other words, a definite turn is now occurring in your life's road - so be ready to drop anything you're doing which is of lesser importance than your higher hopes. At the same time though, be prepared for a 'double bend' - one change after another. Having a contingency plan would also be a good idea, but avoid using it at the expense of taking that opportunity to lead a greater and more fulfilling life.

SIGNIFICANCE: This is a strong to medium influence that challenges you to develop in proportion to your relevant strengths and weaknesses.

POSSIBLE ENCOUNTERS: Sudden Growth - Magic in the Air - Release of Tension

THEME: The powerful awakening of your Jupiter Profile, through your philosophy and world view being radically altered.

Regenerating or Degenerating Trends

Pluto trends from 1st February 2025 to 31st January 2026

August 11th to December 11th 2025

Retrograde

Purging Negative Attitudes - Deepening Awareness

Transiting Pluto Retrograde Squares your natal Ascendant

This is a time when the shadow side of your personality comes to the fore, your 'shadow' being that element of your nature which you have consciously or unconsciously regarded as dark, inferior, anti-social or even evil. Alternatively, this shadow could represent itself as someone coming into your life that has a powerful or destructive influence over you. In either case, you experience an intense quality in the way you relate to the world.

This upheaval may give you a desire to dominate and control your environment, or again, someone could try doing that to you. At this time you feel more intimate with life than usual, in that you sense a passion and an inevitability about it all that can either be awe inspiring and motivating, or threatening and despair inducing. It all depends how familiar you previously were with that shadow side of your personality, and how much you have learnt - or can now learn - to accept it, express it, tame it, and ultimately channel it into to some creative or healing work where power and influence find their proper place.

All relationships with others are strongly affected at this time, in that any underlying urges or fears come to the surface. Dealing with these honestly and thoroughly will be difficult, but after the storm is over, the state of your world and your relationships, and your outlook upon them, will be vibrant and fresh - like sunshine after rain.

But trying to avoid such issues, and leaving them merely at the stage of fear resorting to manipulation, or of hidden desires stealing moments in the dark, or of suspicion devolving into paranoia, attracts a black cloud that will darken your life for quite some time to come. Try reading or re-reading the tale of 'Beauty and the Beast', because in it you'll find many helpful echoes of your present situation.

SIGNIFICANCE: This is a strong to medium influence that challenges you to develop in proportion to your relevant strengths and weaknesses.

POSSIBLE ENCOUNTERS: Powerful Presences - Moving Relationships - Power Games

THEME: The intensification of your Ascendant Profile, thereby stressing the power and importance of a positive outlook, and the necessity of developing such in order to understand and manage previously hidden fears and obsessions.

Forecast for 1st to 28th February 2025

Saturday 1st February

Highlighting Love Life, Pleasure, Material and Social Values

Transiting Sun Conjuncts your natal Venus from 1st to 4th February 2025. Exact 3rd February

What shows now is the 'state of the art'. In other words, whatever you are doing, or not doing, with regard to filling your own and others' lives with some love and beauty is brought to your attention. So such areas as relationships, arts and crafts, social activities, buying and spending, or things that add a sweetness to life are presently to the fore. Positively, this can take the form of generosity, a love encounter, a party, a general sense of happiness, or anything that helps to make life attractive and more worth living. Negatively, finding yourself being mean, lonely, indulgent, excessive, vain or superficial would point to the fact that a genuine sense of worth, and the ability to give or receive love, is somewhat lacking in your life.

Sunday 2nd February

Healthy Self-Assertion - Getting a Lot Done

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Mars from 2nd to 4th February 2025. Exact 3rd February

Your mind is now in gear with your body, so, anything that needs such an advantage, plan for now if you can. Sports, debate, selling, effective communication, getting your foot in the door - these are just some of the pursuits that you are presently more likely to excel in than you would normally. Any job that has been daunting you, and you have been putting off, set to work on it now.

Also on Sunday

Getting Down To It - Efficient Thinking and Speaking - Officialdom

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Saturn from 2nd to 4th February 2025. Exact 3rd February

Now you can do with relative ease those boring tasks that you might usually put off. Mental discipline comes more naturally to you now, and people in authority (like bosses or officials), can be dealt with more effectively - they themselves will also seem more amenable or efficient. Any kind of work, study or communication is highlighted now, but more so the practical rather than the creative type. You find it easier, and more immediately satisfying, to get your affairs in order. Things fall into place, especially if you do, or have done, the groundwork.

Monday 3rd February

Home Interests - Family Connections - Knowing Your Patch

Transiting Mercury Opposes your natal MidHeaven from 3rd to 5th February 2025. Exact 4th February

This is a time to take an interest in the home. Gatherings that exercise the mind in the family sphere are well starred. Bringing work home could be an issue - for good or ill. Getting in touch with your roots could be very stimulating, and maybe answer a question.

Tuesday 4th February

Loving Words - Artistic Expression - The Art of Diplomacy

Transiting Mercury Conjuncts your natal Venus from 4th to 6th February 2025. Exact 5th February

You know what pleases now - be it for yourself or someone else. At the same time, you know what doesn't please! All this gives you a good sense of what appeals or sells, so this is an excellent time for putting together anything that you want to go down well. Art, public relations, discussion, performing, charm and amusement - these are some of the things the positive expression, or experience, of which are at your fingertips right now. If you wish to make known what's on your mind in an appreciable or agreeable way - do it now.

State of Mind - Stimulating Interests - Highlighting Anxieties

Transiting Sun Conjuncts your natal Mercury from 4th to 7th February 2025. Exact 6th February

Life's spotlight is focused upon the way you think and perceive things now. So, this can mean many things, depending upon what you have currently been doing with your mental faculties, or to your nervous system. Studying, planning, reading, short distance travel, making conversation, arguing the point, gossiping, worrying, or just plain thinking - these are some examples of Mercurial activities that are presently being intensified. This means that more energy is available to you for putting into one or more of these situations, or that you should learn to slow down, trust, think and talk a little less, and listen and feel more.

Thursday 6th February

Sharp Mind - Agitated Mind - Busy at Work - Criticism

Transiting Mercury Conjuncts your natal Mercury from 6th to 8th February 2025. Exact 7th February

Your mental processes are to the fore right now, so your usual manner of thinking and of verbally interacting, are highly noticeable - for good or ill. You could find yourself being on the ball and very efficient, or alternatively, fretting and fussing as you strive to impose logical order on to all you are involved with. Then again, you may find someone else doing this to you and get very irritated. It should be clear what state your mental powers are in right now. Interactions with others in your area, or local environmental issues, could now prove significant.

Sunday 9th February

Contacting Feelings - Easy Conversation - Interest and Sympathy

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Moon from 9th to 11th February 2025. Exact 11th February

Things are more likely to fall into place now because you have a greater than usual sense of give and take. You talk, but also listen, and vice versa. Enquiry is met with relevant response. Allowed to run on like this, this period can become very stimulating and informative, both emotionally and intellectually. Any intercommunications, personal or business, are highlighted at this time.

Monday 10th February

Clear Feelings - Equilibrium - Understanding Needs - Inner Calm

Transiting Sun Sextiles your natal Moon from 10th to 13th February 2025. Exact 12th February

This is an excellent time for getting in touch with both yourself and others, because you now experience an optimum balance between what you want and need, and between what you think and feel. So, you are more than usually able to see things in a healthy light, with a minimum of misunderstanding. Seeing eye to eye, creating agreements or settling disputes is also propitious. Moreover, problems arising from childhood traumas may be successfully explored and set on the road to resolution.

Tuesday 11th February

The Confused Mind - Deceptions or Misunderstandings

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Neptune from 11th to 13th February 2025. Exact 12th February

Unless you're doing something of a creative, therapeutic, or entertaining nature at this time, you are possibly asking to attract absent-mindedness or strange, even paranoid, ideas. Crossed lines could also dog any form of communication. So, this is not a time to make any crucial decisions or broach delicate matters - either it just wouldn't come out right, or, what another says or does could be taken in the wrong way. Also, when you're out and about you may get lost in some way or other. Sitting back and watching the world go by, or taking in a film you know you're going to like, are a few ways of safely, even enjoyably, getting through this one.

Wednesday 12th February

Saying Too Much - Not Seeing the Forest for the Trees

Transiting Mercury Opposes your natal Jupiter from 12th to 14th February 2025. Exact 14th February

You are now put in touch with all you need to know. However, this can be a double-edged weapon, because on the one hand it could find you able to manage various items or activities into an effective whole, or, on the other hand, find you confused as ideas and conflicting considerations flood your mind, giving rise to a 'brain jam'. Marshalling your thoughts is therefore both the issue and the opportunity at present. Ultimately, you're gaining some kind of understanding now, be it about something specific or something general.

Out of this, a philosophical overview can be arrived at, thereby accommodating anything that is presently going on in your life. Another possible expression is thinking, speaking and/or acting out of a sense of opinion rather than a firm fact. Such succumbing to generalities posing as the truth could set you up for embarrassment or a lot of wasted time, or both, as you bluff and exaggerate your way into, or out of, something. So, get the facts straight - that is, of course, unless you're quite happy to pontificate. Dealing with foreign matters (or people) could also be an issue now - again, worthy of detailed consideration.

Thursday 13th February

On The Ball - Getting Around Locally and/or Mentally

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Ascendant from 13th to 15th February 2025. Exact 15th February

Life is interesting and busy at this time. Useful contacts, stimulating people and subjects cross your path. If you have to look anyone or anything up, you're more likely than usual to make the right connections, possess good timing. You could also receive a significant communication, or the even the one you've been waiting for; especially if there are other activities occurring that indicate positive events.

Also on Thursday

Highlighting Sensitivity - Idealism/Escapism - Compassion/Weaknesses

Transiting Sun Squares your natal Neptune from 13th to 15th February 2025. Exact 14th February

What is brought to light now is something that has been happening outside of your conscious awareness, or has been kept out of sight. Obviously this can mean any number of things, for example: finding out something that's been going on behind your back, or discovering a mysterious dimension of reality you only ever dreamt of; becoming conscious of the fact that you identify more closely with certain others and their hopes and fears, or weak spots being exposed in yourself or others. In any event, it is important that you keep a firm grip on reality, yet, at the same time, remain open to fact or notion that we are all mysteriously united in some way. Generally speaking, your ego is less resilient than usual, so take a back seat and watch life's picture show if you don't feel up to starring in it. Also, be extra careful with drink or drugs because highs and lows are presently very interchangeable.

Saturday 15th February

Highlighting Expansiveness and Faith - A Sense of Greatness

Transiting Sun Opposes your natal Jupiter from 15th to 18th February 2025. Exact 17th February

Whatever it is that you are like normally, now you are more so! Essentially, you are experiencing an urge to grow beyond yourself, and to understand matters in a more comprehensive and philosophical way. So, if you do have something of this nature in mind, then now is the time to make it (begin to) happen. But what you allow yourself, and others, to do or be, has everything to do with your moral viewpoint, which is presently a vital issue. So for a more rewarding life, both now and in the future, you would be wise to cultivate an optimistic and big hearted attitude, and to be mindful that biting off more than you can chew, or making empty promises, is a sure sign that you are pretending to be larger than life, rather than actually being as large as life.

Monday 17th February

Highlighting Personal Self-Expression - Being a Social Animal

Transiting Sun Trines your natal Ascendant from 17th to 20th February 2025. Exact 19th February

Your urge and ability to mix with others is marginally increased for the time being; you also come across in a more coherent fashion than usual. So, gathering people around you, or getting out and about (depending on which is more suitable), is a good idea, because you now make a good impression. If you usually like to 'play to the crowd', then you'll shine even more now. If not, then you might now possibly surprise yourself.

Wednesday 19th February

Connected to Your Life - The Thinking Heart - Wired

Transiting Mercury Conjuncts your natal Sun from 19th to 21st February 2025. Exact 21st February

You feel 'wired in' to what is most important to you now, so it's a good time for seeing to jobs in hand, saying what has to be said, and generally setting to work on affairs. If you start feeling a bit overwrought, then take few deep breaths - or better still - do some breathing exercises. If you are prone to insomnia, this influence could exacerbate it, because you're more than usually inclined to working everything out in your head. As your mind and ego are kind of hooked up together now, try not to blurt out the first thing that comes into your head since you may regret it. For the same reason, for maximum mental harmony, keep your mind focused only upon serious issues, or paradoxically, upon humorous ones.

Sunday 23th February

Love And Duty - Serious Attachments - The Importance Of Commitment

Transiting Venus Conjuncts your natal Saturn from 23rd February 2025 to 7th March 2025. Exact 2nd March

You experience the serious or very real side of love and social involvement now. This is not a time for having fun and letting your hair down, so do not plan for this or get frustrated trying to make it so. More than likely your partner or people in general will come across as sober and responsible now - or in need of such qualities. If you are not with anyone, you can feel more alone than usual, or if you are prepared to take a serious rather than cynical look, you can get the measure of why you are unattached.

If this is truly not an issue under this influence, then you can probably congratulate yourself on being genuinely self-sufficient. By and large though, this period is inclined to show up the warts and weaknesses in your love and social life, including the pressure to do something about it. In any event, this means being emotionally mature and responsible and doing what has to done, even though it is difficult. In time, such commitment will prove to be well worth it. On a financial level, you may well have to read the writing on the wall here instead, or as well, getting real about money being the call of the day.

Also on Sunday

Romantic Opportunity - Attracting and/or Attracted

Transiting Venus Conjuncts your natal Mars from 23rd February 2025 to 7th March 2025. Exact 2nd March

You are very much in the mood for sexual and/or romantic experience, or simply to feel socially alive. Depending upon your temperament and availability, such an experience, or at least the opportunity for it, could arise right now, or, it would be a good time to plan for such an occasion, or, failing all of these, it could be a time of frustration if these matters have been put on the backburner.

Then again from out of the blue could come an experience that kind of pleasurably highlights the current state of affairs in your love/sex/social life - even precipitating you into an affair or relationship. All in all though, this has the potential for an enjoyable and exciting time. Attractive, artistic or simply likeable people appear on the scene to sweeten your life - or you could be the one being this for someone else.

Monday 24th February

Sleuthing It - Mental Preoccupation - Disturbing Undercurrents

Transiting Mercury Opposes your natal Pluto from 24th to 26th February 2025. Exact 26th February

Whatever rouses you, or demands your complete attention, is going to appear on the scene now. This could be in the form of a letter, a conversation, a book, or even an old question or feeling that pops to the surface to be looked into. Things that involve a mystery, like a whodunit, can really grab you at this time. Crime, the underworld, or the seamy side of life can also suck you in - but probably only on a mental level - but watch it, all the same. Having to perform work that requires deep concentration is very possible.

Thursday 27th February

The Inspired Mind - Mystical or Psychic Attunement

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Neptune from 27th February 2025 to 1st March 2025. Exact 1st March

If you've been after an answer, or inspiration, from out of the ether, then this is the time you're very likely to receive it. This doesn't mean to say that it will come whatever you're doing. It may, but it would be better to be focused upon the issue of your concern, and then - magic! Doing anything of a creative, therapeutic or entertaining nature is profitable, or advisable, at this time. Any experience involving the natural, or spirit, world is good 'medicine' right now - it may even come to you unbidden.

Friday 28th February

Scattered Thoughts - Stuck For Words - Indiscretion - Crossed Lines

Transiting Mercury Opposes your natal Uranus from 28th February 2025 to 2nd March 2025. Exact 1st March

Whatever is new or unusual now catches your interest. Then again, it might be a disruptive element that intrudes upon your working and thinking. In any event, some new method or style is available, or necessary. If you're in tune and in time with any necessary changes, then, as if by magic, the right person, thing or opportunity appears on your scene. If you're of a nervous disposition, you could feel more agitated than usual. If this is the case, do some deep breathing, or chill out in some way that you know works for you.

Your mind is speeded up now, and can be very alive to ideas and inventions. A great deal depends upon how procedure driven or free spirited you are. The former 'will' attracts disruption, the latter attracts innovation. Another interesting aspect of this influence is that you either find yourself stuck for words, losing your thread while speaking, or, you can be very intuitive and outspoken. Then again, you may find yourself speaking out of turn, or saying something inappropriate. Everything depends upon how informed you are regarding a given subject. Machines, especially computers, could play up now.

Also on Friday

Happy Birthday! - It's My Life and I'll Be What I Want To Be

Transiting Sun Conjuncts your natal Sun from 28th February 2025 to 3rd March 2025. Exact 2nd March

This is your astrological birthday, which coincides, more or less, with your calendar birthday. By rights, you should feel very much yourself right now. Whatever you feel you currently are, or are trying to be, finds some kind of focus, and what you do and feel now is in a subtle way the 'seed' of your year to come. So experience this time for what it is, enjoy it for what it is, and try to invest these few days with the essence of what you are and want to be. Remember yourself, bearing in mind that whatever comes through or across during this time is a microcosm of the next twelve months.

Forecast for March 2025

Monday 10th March

Experiencing Power: Degeneration or Regeneration

Transiting Sun Opposes your natal Pluto from 10th to 13th March 2025. Exact 12th March

The underlying fact of life that everything is born, evolves, decays, dies and is born again, now enters your consciousness - in some way, great or small. The opportunity to tune into this cycle of birth and rebirth is well worth taking up, because it gives you a glimpse of the fact that you are a vital part of this cycle. As such, you may sense what is profound and powerful in you and your life, or what is wasteful and degenerate - but you will probably have to peer or delve some way beneath surface appearances in order to do so. You may also encounter manipulators of this power - be they benign or malignant. It could well become necessary for you to let go of decadent elements, and strive towards regenerative ones.

Friday 14th March

Going With The Flow - Attuned To Spirit - Creativity and Entertainment

Transiting Sun Trines your natal Neptune from 14th to 17th March 2025. Exact 16th March

This is a fine, subtle influence, which you could miss unless you are alive to the unseen, mystical or imaginative elements of life and your personality. Any kind of creative or spiritual pursuit - either active or passive - is propitious under this planetary effect. You are more attuned to subtle and emotional vibrations than usual, and possibly sense that struggling with issues only prolongs or complicates them. An enjoyable time listening to, or playing music, communing with Nature, or any activity involving the sea, are some of the possibilities right now.

Sunday 16th March

Highlighting Uniqueness and Individuality - Expect the Unexpected

Transiting Sun Opposes your natal Uranus from 16th to 19th March 2025. Exact 18th March

How you experience this influence has everything to do with how in touch you are with what is special about life in general and yourself in particular. If you have allowed your life to become too routine and predictable, then something (or someone) could appear on the scene to give you a shock or a jolt, or at least remind you that the world is a wild and extraordinary place. Alternatively, you could be the one to shock others by revealing what is rebellious or highly original about you. Why not make this a date with the unexpected by doing something you'd never normally do? Then, with the element of surprise on your side, there's no telling what new ideas or vistas could open up in front of you!

Friday 21st March

Initiating Profound Changes - A Healthy Sense of Power

Transiting Mars Sextiles your natal Pluto from 21st to 29th March 2025. Exact 26th March

Whatever you feel strongly about in a far-reaching way, can be successfully set in motion now. You may not see the results of this straightaway, but you would sense a sort of 'point of destiny' as you did so. Even if you are not aware of any such burning issue, this is a time when you should feel a certain power in the air. This could take the form of being in the presence of a powerful personality, or a waterfall, or some other impressive phenomenon. In any event, you presently have the ability to impress or be impressed.

Friday 28th March

Retrograde

The Electricity Of Love - Unusual Attractions - Possible Alienation

Transiting Venus Retrograde Opposes your natal Uranus from 28th March 2025 to 2nd April 2025. Exact 31st March

Whatever is out of the ordinary regarding sexual, social, creative or romantic involvements can appear out of the blue now. By the very nature of this influence it is hard to say what will happen. For the same reason, it is best not to put too much store by whatever does, because it will most probably be a flash-in-the-pan kind of occurrence. Experimental, shocking or odd - whatever happens now can be anything from extremely exciting to somehow detached - or both even.

This influence can trigger the start of an exciting relationship, but it does not predict which way it will go, because the only assurances as far as Uranus is concerned are that you can expect the unexpected, be ready to be woken up to something new. Significant coincidences can happen now, trying to tell you something about how love and life tick. Sudden attractions and/or breaks in relationships can also occur.

Saturday 29th March

Highlighting Personal Drive, Sex Life, Courage and Decisiveness

Transiting Sun Conjuncts your natal Mars from 29th March 2025 to 1st April 2025. Exact 31st March

Hot!

Mars is symbolic of that force within and around you which makes it possible to go for, and get something or someone; it also represents the urge and the right to do so. How good, bad or indifferent you are when it comes to expressing your Mars qualities is currently an issue. Being active, independent, forthright or bold now, is a sign that you know what you are after, and how and when to act. Experiencing anger, abusiveness or excessive use of force (either in yourself or another), would be a sign that you need to look at what you yourself are angry about, at what you want, and at what you must do in order to obtain it, or so that you no longer want it.

Also on Saturday

Highlighting Status and Responsibilities, Caution and Doubts

Transiting Sun Conjuncts your natal Saturn from 29th March 2025 to 1st April 2025. Exact 31st March

This period doesn't exactly find you in a party mood, but it does put you in a sober frame of mind that should enable you to get down to identifying what is (and what is not) required of you, and what is blocking your progress or view. The main trouble is that the pressure will be upon you to do just this. It is attempting to duck your responsibilities that would give you a hard time. Equally though, the thanklessness of tasks done out of a blind sense of duty, or born of fear, also shows up now. Even though this period lasts only a few days, time passes slowly, so use it to reflect coolly and carefully upon your position in life, without feeling panicky or depressed about it. Notwithstanding what else is indicated at present, the time to act comes later, after having made your purpose and obligation clearer.

Also on Saturday

Stimulating or Attacking Feelings - Protecting Your Space

Transiting Mars Squares your natal Moon from 29th March 2025 to 5th April 2025. Exact 2nd April

Hot!

The feelings that you have been sitting on need to come to the surface now. So feeling irritable, or fit to burst, is quite likely. This is a natural safety valve urging you to unload negative feelings such as anger or resentment, and especially those that concern your family and figures, or events, from your past. Being 'reasonable' at this time would be missing the point, because being supposedly abiding and well-behaved is what made you swallow your true feelings in the first place. So 'cough up the bile' and all concerned will feel the healthier and more secure for it eventually. It is very important now to make it clear how you feel, but to avoid unnecessary conflict, you must make the distinction between a feeling and who or what triggers off that feeling.

Sunday 30th March

Retrograde

Scattered Thoughts - Stuck For Words - Indiscretion - Crossed Lines

Transiting Mercury Retrograde Opposes your natal Uranus from 30th March 2025 to 14th April 2025. Exact 2nd April

Whatever is new or unusual now catches your interest. Then again, it might be a disruptive element that intrudes upon your working and thinking. In any event, some new method or style is available, or necessary. If you're in tune and in time with any necessary changes, then, as if by magic, the right person, thing or opportunity appears on your scene. If you're of a nervous disposition, you could feel more agitated than usual. If this is the case, do some deep breathing, or chill out in some way that you know works for you.

Monday 31st March

Career Advances or Opportunities - Managing Home and Business

Transiting Sun Trines your natal MidHeaven from 31st March 2025 to 3rd April 2025. Exact 2nd April

At this time you feel more able to see a balance or connection between who you are in public and who you are in private. Examples of this could be bringing a colleague home, or introducing a family member to the way you work. Also, if you have been paying too much attention to one area and not enough to the other, you can now see how to accomplish this, and begin to do so.

Also on Monday

Retrograde

Love Dreams - Pleasing Fantasies - Artistic Inspiration

Transiting Venus Retrograde Trines your natal Neptune from 31st March 2025 to 6th April 2025. Exact 3rd April

Any feelings or ideas regarding love, sex, music or art - or social life generally - are now nicely attuned to your ideals and visions of a better life. None of this is particularly dynamic, but this gentle, almost 'hippie' type, influence can be very enjoyable. This is a good time to put aside for any pursuit or pastime that comes into these categories.

Forecast for April 2025

Tuesday 1st April

Being In Tune - Social Harmony - Making The Peace

Transiting Sun Sextiles your natal Venus from 1st to 4th April 2025. Exact 3rd April

Things are promising socially right now, and if there is a love interest, then you can be fairly sure that, if things are going to go your way at all, they will do so now. Making amends, launching any social event, being artistically creative or entertained - these are all liable to go with a swing at this time.

Wednesday 2nd April

Retrograde

The Inspired Mind - Mystical or Psychic Attunement

Transiting Mercury Retrograde Trines your natal Neptune from 2nd to 11th April 2025. Exact 7th April

If you've been after an answer, or inspiration, from out of the ether, then this is the time you're very likely to receive it. This doesn't mean to say that it will come whatever you're doing. It may, but it would be better to be focused upon the issue of your concern, and then - magic! Doing anything of a creative, therapeutic or entertaining nature is profitable, or advisable, at this time. Any experience involving the natural, or spirit, world is good 'medicine' right now - it may even come to you unbidden.

Saturday 5th April

Working Well - Being On The Case - Making Contacts and Connections

Transiting Sun Sextiles your natal Mercury from 5th to 8th April 2025. Exact 7th April

You work and communicate well now, and are generally on the ball with respect to any matters that relate to the daily business of living. You also have a better sense of the pros and cons of how you normally go about such things, giving you the opportunity to correct poor attitudes or methods, and to make the most of, or improve upon, the good ones.

Also on Saturday

Acting Selflessly - Relaxed Inactivity

Transiting Mars Trines your natal Neptune from 5th to 11th April 2025. Exact 9th April

This influence can be almost unnoticeable because the desires 'to act' and 'to do nothing' coincide. So, deliberately doing nothing in the form of relaxing or withdrawing to contemplate what you (and it) are all about is recommended. It can also be a good idea to do something that helps others achieve ends that have little to do with your own. In fact, anything that your ego would normally get in the way of may now be healthily embarked upon.

Wednesday 9th April

Acting Intuitively - Refreshing Influences - Who Dares Wins

Transiting Mars Sextiles your natal Uranus from 9th to 15th April 2025. Exact 12th April

This is an excellent time for 'unusual acts' - like doing something that you wouldn't normally do for fear of rocking the boat, embarrassment, etc. The effect of such an act can be astounding, because in time it may be seen that such intuitive spontaneity has opened up a pathway into the future that could not have happened otherwise. So, you are now more likely to act on a whim, or take more of a risk, than you would as a rule.

Friday 11th April

Highlighting Emotions - Starting Out or Over - Enlivening Feelings

Transiting Sun Conjuncts your natal Moon from 11th to 14th April 2025. Exact 13th April

This is a good time to make it clearer to yourself and/or others what the emotional score is. It could also be the beginning of a new and fresh way of relating. Depending on your usual emotional disposition, you feel more 'keyed up' on a feeling level. If you wish to receive something helpful or advantageous, then put yourself in line for it now, because you are likely to get a good result.

Thursday 17th April

Positive Thinking - Knowing The Plan - Goodwill - Luck

Transiting Sun Trines your natal Jupiter from 17th to 20th April 2025. Exact 19th April

You are in a good frame of mind now as you're in touch with the better sides of your life and personality. It's as if you can see how you fit in with the greater whole; you feel that everything is for the best, and you have some sense of how things will pan out alright. So, with anything that is particularly oiled by having Lady Luck on your side, now is a good time to go for it - notwithstanding other influences to the contrary. You are also quite likely to encounter positive and encouraging people at this time.

Also on Thursday

Conflict in the Air - Fighting for Independence

Transiting Mars Squares your natal Ascendant from 17th to 23rd April 2025. Exact 20th April

Hot!

You are not the easiest person to be around just now, because being your own person is an important issue for you. So, others (especially intimates) are liable to bug you because you're so sensitive about not having anyone intrude upon your right to do things in your own way. Looked at more simply, you are having to assert yourself under pressure, so it's best to work alone if possible, and have a clear objective. Any repressed negative emotion such as resentment or anger is likely to come to the surface; so honestly express it, don't suppress it, or you could attract damage or illness.

Friday 18th April

Love Dreams - Pleasing Fantasies - Artistic Inspiration

Transiting Venus Trines your natal Neptune from 18th to 25th April 2025. Exact 23rd April

Any feelings or ideas regarding love, sex, music or art - or social life generally - are now nicely attuned to your ideals and visions of a better life. None of this is particularly dynamic, but this gentle, almost 'hippie' type, influence can be very enjoyable. This is a good time to put aside for any pursuit or pastime that comes into these categories.

Saturday 19th April

Highlighting Relationship Issues - Acceding To Others

Transiting Sun Opposes your natal Ascendant from 19th to 22nd April 2025. Exact 21st April

The solar spotlight is now upon your relationships, or social life in general. Quite what certain others mean and are doing in your life becomes clearer now - so, pay attention! Significant others will appear even more significant, and what (or who) does not matter will be obvious - or it should be. Alternatively, or additionally, someone important could now enter your life, especially if there are other more longstanding influences occurring, which indicate such an encounter.

Wednesday 23th April

The Electricity Of Love - Unusual Attractions - Possible Alienation

Transiting Venus Opposes your natal Uranus from 23rd to 28th April 2025. Exact 26th April

Whatever is out of the ordinary regarding sexual, social, creative or romantic involvements can appear out of the blue now. By the very nature of this influence it is hard to say what will happen. For the same reason, it is best not to put too much store by whatever does, because it will most probably be a flash-in-the-pan kind of occurrence. Experimental, shocking or odd - whatever happens now can be anything from extremely exciting to somehow detached - or both even.

This influence can trigger the start of an exciting relationship, but it does not predict which way it will go, because the only assurances as far as Uranus is concerned are that you can expect the unexpected, be ready to be woken up to something new. Significant coincidences can happen now, trying to tell you something about how love and life tick. Sudden attractions and/or breaks in relationships can also occur.

Friday 25th April

Forceful Words and Thinking - Count To Ten - Getting a Lot Done

Transiting Mercury Conjuncts your natal Mars from 25th to 28th April 2025. Exact 27th April

How you experience this influence very much depends upon how sure you are of asserting yourself generally. If such can be a weak point for you, then now you're likely not to speak out when you should do, or to say what was best left unsaid, or, to say it awkwardly or apparently arrogantly. It's as if everything has bells on, and the slightest wrong word or movement sets them jangling. Conversely, if you are usually good at asserting yourself, then now you'll do so even more effectively and eloquently. In both cases, however, there is a danger of speaking out of turn, or of saying something you later come to regret - so try to think before speaking - or acting, for that matter.

Also on Friday

Getting Down To It - Ordered Thinking and Speaking - Officialdom

Transiting Mercury Conjuncts your natal Saturn from 25th to 28th April 2025. Exact 27th April

This is when you can (or have to) get down to some serious thinking or work. Failure to do what needs doing can give rise to depression, or pressure from someone or something that has authority over you. Basically, your mind now turns to whatever is your responsibility. Whether or not you are alive to what that is and knuckle down to it, makes the difference between this being a heavy, or efficient time. It is definitely not a time for woolly thinking and escapism, because you could put yourself in line for some kind of bad reaction or payback, either now or later on. This is not supposed to be a 'fun' time, so don't frustrate or exhaust yourself trying to make out that it is. It's a time for work and effort, so you will feel far better (and lighter) as a result of simply doing what has to be done - or what you have been putting off.

Sunday 27th April

Home and Business Connections - Knowing Your Pitch

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal MidHeaven from 27th to 29th April 2025. Exact 29th April

You now see clearly how your home and working life are dependent upon each other, and are able to balance your interests and investments in these respects. Getting private and professional figures and concerns to co-operate comes easier now. You see the whole picture and can manage 'you and yours' more efficiently.

Monday 28th April

Loving Words - Artistic Expression - The Art of Diplomacy

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Venus from 28th to 30th April 2025. Exact 30th April

You know what pleases now - be it for yourself or someone else. At the same time, you know what doesn't please! All this gives you a good sense of what appeals or sells, so this is an excellent time for putting together anything that you want to go down well. Art, public relations, discussion, performing, charm and amusement - these are some of the things the positive expression, or experience, of which are at your fingertips right now. If you wish to make known what's on your mind in an appreciable or agreeable way - do it now.

Wednesday 30th April

Flow of Communication - Working and Thinking Well - Connected

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Mercury from 30th April 2025 to 3rd May 2025. Exact 2nd May

All Mercurial activities, such as mental or manual work, studying, communications, travel, contact making, etc., are highlighted now. You are generally on good form intellectually, and seem to pick the right moment to make that call, the right way to say something, and to put your finger on the easiest solution. Co-operative ventures and interactions with those who live nearby (or siblings) are also well starred.

Also on Wednesday

Smooth Running - Opening Doors - No Worries

Transiting Sun Sextiles your natal Sun from 30th April 2025 to 3rd May 2025. Exact 2nd May

You are 'in sync' with life today - at least, in the context of whatever else is going on for you astrologically at this time. So now is when you can gain co-operation from others, and be generally in tune and in gear. You could also receive assistance from someone; someone who possibly has power or authority.

Forecast for May 2025

Thursday 1st May

Private Life/Public Life Balance - Parental Conflicts

Transiting Sun Squares your natal MidHeaven from 1st to 4th May 2025. Exact 3rd May

Try and meet both personal and business obligations equally, even though everything will be coming at you from all sides. This only lasts a few days, so don't over-react to difficulties and thereby make things as bad as they momentarily appear to be.

Friday 2nd May

Highlighting Love Life, Pleasure, Material and Social Values

Transiting Sun Squares your natal Venus from 2nd to 5th May 2025. Exact 4th May

What shows now is the 'state of the art'. In other words, whatever you are doing, or not doing, with regard to filling your own and others' lives with some love and beauty is brought to your attention. So such areas as relationships, arts and crafts, social activities, buying and spending, or things that add a sweetness to life are presently to the fore. Positively, this can take the form of generosity, a love encounter, a party, a general sense of happiness, or anything that helps to make life attractive and more worth living. Negatively, finding yourself being mean, lonely, indulgent, excessive, vain or superficial would point to the fact that a genuine sense of worth, and the ability to give or receive love, is somewhat lacking in your life.

Monday 5th May

Communicating Feelings - Good Memory

Transiting Mercury Conjuncts your natal Moon from 5th to 7th May 2025. Exact 6th May

The everyday pace and occurrences of life now take on an extra importance. You therefore devote more time to domestic issues and possibly get around your locale more than usual. Time could be wasted with gossiping and small talk - but then again, it might be the very thing that makes you feel in tune with your immediate environment. You are more mentally in touch with your feelings at this time, so you may learn a lot on this front, as well as making it clear to others how you feel, and conversely, receiving from them how they feel. Saying too much could be something to watch out for.

Tuesday 6th May

State of Mind - Stimulating Interests - Highlighting Anxieties

Transiting Sun Squares your natal Mercury from 6th to 9th May 2025. Exact 8th May

Life's spotlight is focused upon the way you think and perceive things now. So, this can mean many things, depending upon what you have currently been doing with your mental faculties, or to your nervous system. Studying, planning, reading, short distance travel, making conversation, arguing the point, gossiping, worrying, or just plain thinking - these are some examples of Mercurial activities that are presently being intensified. This means that more energy is available to you for putting into one or more of these situations, or that you should learn to slow down, trust, think and talk a little less, and listen and feel more.

Thursday 8th May

Seeing the Whole - Getting a Plan - Philosophical Thinking

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Jupiter from 8th to 10th May 2025. Exact 10th May

Preparation and furtherance are the allies available to you at present. Having all the facts at your fingertips, seeing how the general fits in with the particular, linking the local to the global, the everyday to the profound - perceptions like these now come more easily to you, allowing you to put forward, create or resolve whatever issues are in front of you. Whether it's finding the meaning of things, or translating one thing into another, your deductive mind and intuitive mind are now working in concert. Now is the time when you can accurately get the picture; or be put in it.

Friday 9th May

Intellectual Encounters - Therapy - Criticism From Others

Transiting Mercury Opposes your natal Ascendant from 9th to 11th May 2025. Exact 11th May

You now receive mental (or verbal) feedback concerning the way you come across; getting to know what others make of you - be it good or bad. You could come across someone or something that is very stimulating intellectually. If you want a reliable sounding board, now is the time to find one - but make sure you listen.

Also on Friday

Easy Self-Assertion - Stimulating Confidence - Winning Ways

Transiting Mars Trines your natal Mars from 9th to 14th May 2025. Exact 12th May

If you wish to start (or re-start) anything, then now is the time. Unless you have more inhibiting factors at present, you are able to impress both yourself and others with your 'get up and go'. And if you are normally somewhat reluctant to assert yourself, then know that Mars is giving you a green light to do so. The most constructive form of activity is physical, because you simply enjoy the fact that you have a body. All in all though, you can get a lot done now - be it work or play, physical or mental.

Also on Friday

Disciplined Activity - Concentrated Energy - Steady Work

Transiting Mars Trines your natal Saturn from 9th to 15th May 2025. Exact 12th May

This period is good for getting down to those tasks that require effort, but that are not very exciting. This is because you are now naturally inclined to plod on in an uncomplaining fashion, simply being satisfied in the knowledge that a necessary job is being well done. Painstaking work can be undertaken because you are not so easily interrupted or side-tracked.

Saturday 10th May

Repairs and Regeneration - Getting to the Bottom of It - Power Assist

Transiting Sun Trines your natal Pluto from 10th to 13th May 2025. Exact 12th May

This is a good time to start any regimen, to turn things around, to eliminate anything that has been bothering you, or simply to put what's wrong right. You feel a power coursing through you, but it is a gentle and sure power - not one that is insisting you express it no matter what. Your powers of concentration, and your stamina - be it physical, mental or emotional - are stronger than usual, so any demanding activity is better pursued at this time.

Tuesday 13th May

An Urge to Achieve - Conflicts with Authority

Transiting Mars Conjuncts your natal MidHeaven from 13th to 18th May 2025. Exact 16th May

You have the energy and the will to further yourself professionally now. As ever with Mars, much depends upon how you go about expressing your desire to get what you want. If you ride roughshod over anyone at present, be prepared to get back as good as you've given. It is better by far to clearly identify your targets, and then devise a strategy to meet them that impresses those above you or those who work for/with you. You'll then be set to win, rather than attracting a troublesome opponent.

Wednesday 14th May

Romantic Opportunity - Attracting and/or Attracted

Transiting Venus Conjuncts your natal Mars from 14th to 17th May 2025. Exact 16th May

You are very much in the mood for sexual and/or romantic experience, or simply to feel socially alive. Depending upon your temperament and availability, such an experience, or at least the opportunity for it, could arise right now, or, it would be a good time to plan for such an occasion, or, failing all of these, it could be a time of frustration if these matters have been put on the backburner.

Then again from out of the blue could come an experience that kind of pleasurably highlights the current state of affairs in your love/sex/social life - even precipitating you into an affair or relationship. All in all though, this has the potential for an enjoyable and exciting time. Attractive, artistic or simply likeable people appear on the scene to sweeten your life - or you could be the one being this for someone else.

Also on Wednesday

Love And Duty - Serious Attachments - The Importance Of Commitment

Transiting Venus Conjuncts your natal Saturn from 14th to 18th May 2025. Exact 16th May

You experience the serious or very real side of love and social involvement now. This is not a time for having fun and letting your hair down, so do not plan for this or get frustrated trying to make it so. More than likely your partner or people in general will come across as sober and responsible now - or in need of such qualities. If you are not with anyone, you can feel more alone than usual, or if you are prepared to take a serious rather than cynical look, you can get the measure of why you are unattached.

If this is truly not an issue under this influence, then you can probably congratulate yourself on being genuinely self-sufficient. By and large though, this period is inclined to show up the warts and weaknesses in your love and social life, including the pressure to do something about it. In any event, this means being emotionally mature and responsible and doing what has to done, even though it is difficult. In time, such commitment will prove to be well worth it. On a financial level, you may well have to read the writing on the wall here instead, or as well, getting real about money being the call of the day.

Thursday 15th May

Easy Communication - Getting Work Done

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Sun from 15th to 17th May 2025. Exact 17th May

You feel 'wired in' to what's most important to you now, so it's a good time for seeing to jobs in hand, saying what has to be said, and generally setting to work on affairs. You are more able to co-ordinate your efforts and deliberations with those of other people at this time, so coming to agreements, and getting good work done on a co-operative basis, are strongly highlighted. Travel arrangements and making connections are far more likely to go smoothly too.

Also on Thursday

Highlighting Sensitivity - Idealism/Escapism - Compassion/Weaknesses

Transiting Sun Opposes your natal Neptune from 15th to 18th May 2025. Exact 17th May

What is brought to light now is something that has been happening outside of your conscious awareness, or has been kept out of sight. Obviously this can mean any number of things, for example: finding out something that's been going on behind your back, or discovering a mysterious dimension of reality you only ever dreamt of; becoming conscious of the fact that you identify more closely with certain others and their hopes and fears, or weak spots being exposed in yourself or others. In any event, it is important that you keep a firm grip on reality, yet, at the same time, remain open to fact or notion that we are all mysteriously united in some way. Generally speaking, your ego is less resilient than usual, so take a back seat and watch life's picture show if you don't feel up to starring in it. Also, be extra careful with drink or drugs because highs and lows are presently very interchangeable.

Friday 16th May

Bad Connections at Home or at Work

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal MidHeaven from 16th to 18th May 2025. Exact 17th May

Your private and public lives tend to get in the way of one another at this time. Try to create a balance here, and avoid feeling frustrated if nothing seems to gel or if things become unstuck, because this influence is brief as a rule.

Also on Friday

Waking up to The Truth - Light upon The Future - The New and Unusual

Transiting Sun Trines your natal Uranus from 16th to 19th May 2025. Exact 18th May

Whatever else may be going on in your life, this influence helps you to see it as part of a greater pattern or long term process of development. You also gain insights into what is unique about yourself, and others too - and you begin to appreciate more what freedom actually means. Additionally, this is a good time to involve yourself with subjects that take a greater overview of life, like science and technology, astronomy, astrology, psychology, etc.

Also on Friday

All The World Loves A Lover - Attracting Status - Finding Approval

Transiting Venus Trines your natal MidHeaven from 16th to 19th May 2025. Exact 18th May

This is a mild influence that should help you to use your skills to blend your working and private life, to get one to serve the other. Any artistic or creative flair or project can now gain support from both official and personal spheres.

Also on Friday

Physical Attraction - Beauty in Action - Love/Sex Balance

Transiting Mars Opposes your natal Venus from 16th to 21st May 2025. Exact 19th May

Hot!

You now experience a sharpening of your sense of what does, or does not, please. This is most likely to occur in the realm of personal relationships, with you feeling the need for a physical show of love. This in turn could find you attracting (or being attracted to) someone, or feeling frustrated at no-one being available. If you have an ongoing intimate relationship, this would be a time for the erotic. In any event, you may have to find the right balance between making love and having sex, between courtship and seduction, tenderness and desire. Also at this time, any art forms that involve movement - like drama, dance, live music, etc - are highlighted or intensified.

Saturday 17th May

Not Saying or Seeing It Right - The Need for Diplomacy

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Venus from 17th to 18th May 2025. Exact 18th May

This is a time when logical thought is at odds with the emotional, or aesthetic, side of life. Not seeing eye-to-eye with a member of the opposite sex is highly likely, because one of you wants to make sense of things, while the other wants to feel right about something. One of you might want to talk, while the other wants to experience affection or sensual pleasure. None of this poses a big problem - unless you let it - because this is just a passing phase, a time when you are out of 'sync' with whoever is close to you.

It's also a time when work issues can get in the way of personal ones, or vice versa, so avoid mixing business with pleasure. If you already have been doing so, then this could prove an awkward time for you. Sorting out love problems is quite likely, and desirable too. But be wary of the above described inclination to speak in different 'languages' to one another. Try to meet each other half way - it's the only way at present.

Sunday 18th May

Disagreement - Nervous Energy - The Devil Makes Work For Idle Hands

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Mercury from 18th to 20th May 2025. Exact 20th May

Irritation, a lack of relevance, bad communication, work setbacks, inappropriate thinking - these are some of the things that could dog you at present. To avoid such frustrations, or simply feeling at a loose end, find an optimum environment for getting down to what has to be done. This could well mean working on your own somewhere, or keeping intrusions down to a minimum in some other way.

All forms of communication could become a nuisance, or be unreliable, with the proverbial wires getting crossed. Again, seek to lessen difficulties by avoiding having to make important decisions dependent upon making a specific contact or travel connection. Look for a more suitable time for such activities.

Also on Sunday

Highlighting Expansiveness and Faith - A Sense of Greatness

Transiting Sun Squares your natal Jupiter from 18th to 21st May 2025. Exact 20th May

Whatever it is that you are like normally, now you are more so! Essentially, you are experiencing an urge to grow beyond yourself, and to understand matters in a more comprehensive and philosophical way. So, if you do have something of this nature in mind, then now is the time to make it (begin to) happen. But what you allow yourself, and others, to do or be, has everything to do with your moral viewpoint, which is presently a vital issue. So for a more rewarding life, now and in the future, you would be wise to cultivate an optimistic and big hearted attitude, and to be mindful that biting off more than you can chew, or making empty promises, is a sure sign that you are pretending to be larger than life, rather than actually being as large as life.

Also on Sunday

Pleasure Plus - Love Life Enhanced - Spending Sprees - Generosity

Transiting Venus Sextiles your natal Venus from 18th to 21st May 2025. Exact 20th May

Pleasure and harmony are the hallmarks of this time, but so too is indulgence, so watch your pocket and appetite! Be that as it may, Venus says that at times you just must enjoy yourself and not count the cost. The value of having a good time is priceless, and this influence has that very potential. Your love life can also receive a boost now, be it the start of something big, a rekindled romance, or simply an enjoyable evening or two with one (or ones) that are important to you.

Tuesday 20th May

Sleuthing It - Powerful Words and Thoughts - Deep Study

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Pluto from 20th to 22nd May 2025. Exact 22nd May

If you have a job to do that requires your undivided attention; do it now. Not only is your mind on relatively good form, and can work into the night, you are also in the frame of mind where you can repel any interference powerfully, even ruthlessly, if need be. You know that you have to see whatever it is through, no matter what.

Thursday 22nd May

The Inspired or Confused Mind - Deceptions or Misunderstandings

Transiting Mercury Opposes your natal Neptune from 22nd to 24th May 2025. Exact 24th May

Unless you're doing something of a creative, therapeutic, or entertaining nature at this time, you are possibly asking to attract absent-mindedness or strange, even paranoid, ideas. Crossed lines could also dog any form of communication. So, this is not a time to make any crucial decisions or broach delicate matters - either it just wouldn't come out right, or, what another says or does could be taken in the wrong way. Also, when you're out and about you may get lost in some way or other. Sitting back and watching the world go by, or taking in a film you know you're going to like, are a few ways of safely, even enjoyably, getting through this one.

Also on Thursday

Loving Thoughts - Sweet Words - Artistic Perception

Transiting Venus Sextiles your natal Mercury from 22nd to 25th May 2025. Exact 24th May

The poet, writer, artist or diplomat is now strong in you, so with any situation that requires a way with words, you're the one for the job! People or things that please and interest you are now likely to appear on the scene, so gatherings and shopping trips are propitious - notwithstanding, as usual, any contrary planetary influences possibly active at this time.

Also on Thursday

Argument or Hot Debate - Nervous Excitement or Exhaustion

Transiting Mars Opposes your natal Mercury from 22nd to 27th May 2025. Exact 25th May

Hot!

If it's going to be said at all, it's going to be said now - with some force. This, in turn, will help make decisions concerning issues that have been hanging in the balance. If you still manage to sit on the fence, expect to get pushed off. In other words, keeping a lid on it will attract tension release in some other area - like speeding in your car, acute irritability, or physical weak spots playing up. Now is the time when you can, or have to, really get your mental teeth into an issue - or it will get its teeth into you!

Friday 23th May

Synchronicity - Being In The Know - Unusual Connections

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Uranus from 23rd to 25th May 2025. Exact 25th May

Being mentally in tune with new ideas, methods and technology is the advantage that this influence offers you. It's as if you can intuitively put your finger on whatever (or whomever) you need to make contact with. This is quite simply a time when you are on good mental and verbal form - so earmark it for those tasks and appointments that require such mental acuity.

Saturday 24th May

Saying Too Much - Not Seeing the Forest for the Trees

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Jupiter from 24th to 26th May 2025. Exact 25th May

You are now put in touch with all you need to know. However, this can be a double-edged weapon, because on the one hand it could find you able to manage various items or activities into an effective whole, or, on the other hand, find you confused as ideas and conflicting considerations flood your mind, giving rise to a 'brain jam'. Marshalling your thoughts is therefore both the issue and the opportunity at present. Ultimately, you're gaining some kind of understanding now, be it about something specific or something general.

Out of this, a philosophical overview can be arrived at, thereby accommodating anything that is presently going on in your life. Another possible expression is thinking, speaking and/or acting out of a sense of opinion rather than a firm fact. Such succumbing to generalities posing as the truth could set you up for embarrassment or a lot of wasted time, or both, as you bluff and exaggerate your way into, or out of, something. So, get the facts straight - that is, of course, unless you're quite happy to pontificate. Dealing with foreign matters (or people) could also be an issue now - again, worthy of detailed consideration.

Thursday 29th May

Healthy Self-Assertion - Getting a Lot Done

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Mars from 29th to 31st May 2025. Exact 31st May

Your mind is now in gear with your body, so, anything that needs such an advantage, plan for now if you can. Sports, debate, selling, effective communication, getting your foot in the door - these are just some of the pursuits that you are presently more likely to excel in than you would normally. Any job that has been daunting you, and you have been putting off, set to work on it now.

Also on Thursday

Getting Down To It - Efficient Thinking and Speaking - Officialdom

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Saturn from 29th to 31st May 2025. Exact 31st May

Now you can do with relative ease those boring tasks that you might usually put off. Mental discipline comes more naturally to you now, and people in authority (like bosses or officials), can be dealt with more effectively - they themselves will also seem more amenable or efficient. Any kind of work, study or communication is highlighted now, but more so the practical rather than the creative type. You find it easier, and more immediately satisfying, to get your affairs in order. Things fall into place, especially if you do, or have done, the groundwork.

Also on Thursday

Emotional Harmony - Accord with/between Females - Attractiveness

Transiting Venus Conjuncts your natal Moon from 29th May 2025 to 1st June 2025. Exact 31st May

This is a classic time for peace and harmony. This is of course relative to whatever else is going on in your life astrologically, because this influence is quite gentle and not that dynamic. However, if you meet it halfway with the conscious intent to give and receive pleasure, then it can actually be a very lovely time. It particularly highlights any occasion that involves the female sex coming together. In fact, female power is in the ascendant now!

Friday 30th May

Communication Challenges - Pressing Work Issues - Spats

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Sun from 30th May 2025 to 1st June 2025. Exact 31st May

If you start feeling a bit overwrought during this time, then take few deep breaths - or better still - do some breathing exercises. If you are prone to insomnia, this influence could exacerbate it, because you're more than usually inclined to working everything out in your head. As your mind and ego are kind of hooked up together now, try not to blurt out the first thing that comes into your head since you may regret it. For the same reason, for maximum mental harmony, keep your mind focused only upon serious issues, or paradoxically, upon humorous ones. Arguing for arguing's sake could be a waste of time and energy now (and could also get you into hotter water than you'd bargained for)!

Also on Friday

Home and Business Connections - Knowing Your Pitch

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal MidHeaven from 30th May 2025 to 1st June 2025. Exact 31st May

You now see clearly how your home and working life are dependent upon each other, and are able to balance your interests and investments in these respects. Getting private and professional figures and concerns to co-operate comes easier now. You see the whole picture and can manage 'you and yours' more efficiently.

Also on Friday

Getting Things Done - Healthy Self-Assertion - Feeling Fit

Transiting Sun Sextiles your natal Mars from 30th May 2025 to 2nd June 2025. Exact 1st June

Getting down to things, opening doors, launching yourself with energy and enthusiasm, attaining the object of your desires - these are some of the advantages of this influence. In proportion to your usual powers of self-assertion, asserting yourself in any way is in tune with the general way of things at present.

Also on Friday

A Sense of Order - Highlighting Discipline and Economy

Transiting Sun Sextiles your natal Saturn from 30th May 2025 to 2nd June 2025. Exact 1st June

You should be functioning well over these few days, so it's a good time to get more systematic, devise a plan, or even embark upon some important undertaking - assuming other indications are not inauspicious. You are, at present, more than usually inclined to get down to what needs doing without being, or feeling, distracted by issues that do not bear directly on the job in hand. You are now more disposed towards structure and efficiency than you are towards whims or sentimentality.

Saturday 31st May

Loving Words - Artistic Expression - The Art of Diplomacy

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Venus from 31st May 2025 to 2nd June 2025. Exact 1st June

You know what pleases now - be it for yourself or someone else. At the same time, you know what doesn't please! All this gives you a good sense of what appeals or sells, so this is an excellent time for putting together anything that you want to go down well. Art, public relations, discussion, performing, charm and amusement - these are some of the things the positive expression, or experience, of which are at your fingertips right now. If you wish to make known what's on your mind in an appreciable or agreeable way - do it now.

Also on Saturday

Ego Conflicts - Me Versus The Rest - Cool It!

Transiting Sun Squares your natal Sun from 31st May 2025 to 3rd June 2025. Exact 2nd June

This is not a time to see eye to eye with others, because you are confrontation prone; whether you like it or not! You can use this affect to get a reading of how you, and another, or the world in general, squares up to you but, by and large, it is best during these few days either to take the line of least resistance, or to soldier on if needs must.

Forecast for June 2025

Sunday 1st June

Flow of Communication - Working and Thinking Well - Connected

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Mercury from 1st to 3rd June 2025. Exact 3rd June

All Mercurial activities, such as mental or manual work, studying, communications, travel, contact making, etc., are highlighted now. You're generally on good form intellectually, and seem to pick the right moment to make that call, the right way to say something, and to put your finger on the easiest solution. Co-operative ventures and interactions with those who live nearby (or siblings) are also well starred.

Also on Sunday

Career Advances or Opportunities - Managing Home and Business

Transiting Sun Sextiles your natal MidHeaven from 1st to 4th June 2025. Exact 3rd June

At this time you feel more able to see a balance or connection between who you are in public and who you are in private. Examples of this could be bringing a colleague home, or introducing a family member to the way you work. Also, if you have been paying too much attention to one area and not enough to the other, you can now see how to accomplish this, and begin to do so.

Monday 2nd June

Being In Tune - Social Harmony - Making The Peace

Transiting Sun Trines your natal Venus from 2nd to 5th June 2025. Exact 4th June

Things are promising socially right now, and if there is a love interest, then you can be fairly sure that, if things are going to go your way at all, they will do so now. Making amends, launching any social event, being artistically creative or entertained - these are all liable to go with a swing at this time.

Tuesday 3rd June

Sleuthing It - Mental Preoccupation - Disturbing Undercurrents

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Pluto from 3rd to 5th June 2025. Exact 5th June

Whatever rouses you, or demands your complete attention, is going to appear on the scene now. This could be in the form of a letter, a conversation, a book, or even an old question or feeling that pops to the surface to be looked into. Things that involve a mystery, like a whodunit, can really grab you at this time. Crime, the underworld, or the seamy side of life can also suck you in - but probably only on a mental level - but watch it, all the same. Having to perform work that requires deep concentration is very possible.

Also on Tuesday

Love And Goodwill - Fun And Generosity - Joie De Vivre - Lady Luck

Transiting Venus Trines your natal Jupiter from 3rd to 6th June 2025. Exact 5th June

Depending on your usual propensity for good fortune or giving/having a good time, this influence will provide you with a strong sense and/or experience of what is enjoyable about life. Taking in anything that enlivens or entertains is very propitious now - whether you are in an active or passive role. You have a lust for life at present - but watch your pocket or appetite, unless you are quite prepared to say it was worth the price, no matter what.

Any activity that requires you to put out a good or generous vibe is best booked for now. You are luckier than at other times - but bear in mind that gambling can have an agenda all of its own so paradoxically, do not bet on it! It is better by far to see and experience this influence as a gift from the gods - but on the gods' terms. This means to say that there is something good in the air, but do not presume on it being 'good' in precisely the way you think you want it to mean. It is really an opportunity to find out what 'good' actually means.

Also on Tuesday

Strong Feelings - Spontaneous Actions - Feeling Vibrant

Transiting Mars Trines your natal Moon from 3rd to 8th June 2025. Exact 6th June

At present you experience a natural flow of energy into whatever pursuits further your needs. So, any activity that requires lively responses or consistent emotions, such as a challenging task or satisfying a desire, is well-starred right now. Also, you are able to stand your ground without appearing guarded and unsure of yourself. Your current emotional state is likely to attract the very people or events that give you the feeling of being alive and going somewhere.

Wednesday 4th June

Contacting Feelings - Easy Conversation - Interest and Sympathy

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Moon from 4th to 6th June 2025. Exact 6th June

Things are more likely to fall into place now because you have a greater than usual sense of give and take. You talk, but also listen, and vice versa. Enquiry is met with relevant response. Allowed to run on like this, this period can become very stimulating and informative, both emotionally and intellectually. Any intercommunications, personal or business, are highlighted at this time.

Thursday 5th June

Love In The Air - Attractive Presentation - Social Pleasures

Transiting Venus Opposes your natal Ascendant from 5th to 8th June 2025. Exact 7th June

You have a friendly, attractive aura now. So whatever it is you wish to attract, win over or simply make feel good, now is the time! You may well notice this by having someone attractive come your way. Venus being Venus however, there is no guarantee as to whether such an encounter is the real thing or just a tease. It all depends what you yourself are prone to right now. Make sure you are aware of your own worth and talent now, and do not lose yourself in someone else's apparent charms.

Friday 6th June

Scattered Thoughts - Stuck For Words - Indiscretion - Crossed Lines

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Uranus from 6th to 8th June 2025. Exact 7th June

Whatever is new or unusual now catches your interest. Then again, it might be a disruptive element that intrudes upon your working and thinking. In any event, some new method or style is available, or necessary. If you're in tune and in time with any necessary changes, then, as if by magic, the right person, thing or opportunity appears on your scene. If you're of a nervous disposition, you could feel more agitated than usual. If this is the case, do some deep breathing, or chill out in some way that you know works for you.

Your mind is speeded up now, and can be very alive to ideas and inventions. A great deal depends upon how procedure driven or free spirited you are. The former 'will' attracts disruption, the latter attracts innovation. Another interesting aspect of this influence is that you either find yourself stuck for words, losing your thread while speaking, or, you can be very intuitive and outspoken. Then again, you may find yourself speaking out of turn, or saying something inappropriate. Everything depends upon how informed you are regarding a given subject. Machines, especially computers, could play up now.

Also on Friday

Working Well - Being On The Case - Making Contacts and Connections

Transiting Sun Trines your natal Mercury from 6th to 9th June 2025. Exact 8th June

You work and communicate well now, and are generally on the ball with respect to any matters that relate to the daily business of living. You also have a better sense of the pros and cons of how you normally go about such things, giving you the opportunity to correct poor attitudes or methods, and to make the most of, or improve upon, the good ones.

Saturday 7th June

Seeing the Whole - Getting a Plan - Philosophical Thinking

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Jupiter from 7th to 9th June 2025. Exact 8th June

Preparation and furtherance are the allies available to you at present. Having all the facts at your fingertips, seeing how the general fits in with the particular, linking the local to the global, the everyday to the profound - perceptions like these now come more easily to you, allowing you to put forward, create or resolve whatever issues are in front of you. Whether it is finding the meaning of things, or translating one thing into another, your deductive mind and intuitive mind are now working in concert. Now is the time when you can accurately get the picture; or be put in it.

Sunday 8th June

On The Ball - Getting Around Locally and/or Mentally

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Ascendant from 8th to 10th June 2025. Exact 9th June

Life is interesting and busy at this time. Useful contacts, stimulating people and subjects cross your path. If you have to look anyone or anything up, you're more likely than usual to make the right connections, possess good timing. You could also receive a significant communication, or the even the one you've been waiting for; especially if there are other activities occurring that indicate positive events.

Also on Sunday

Stimulating Sensitivity - Acting Compassionately or Unwisely

Transiting Mars Squares your natal Neptune from 8th to 12th June 2025. Exact 11th June

Deceptive!

This could be a low energy phase for you when the harsher elements of the outside world, be they in the form of anything from insensitive people to a virus, can get the better of you. You may feel strange and out of step - sexual frustration is likely too. 'Sod's Law' prevails, so count to ten, think three times, and be on your guard against being taken advantage of. So be gentle with yourself and others, keep to the line of least resistance, and let any possibly disheartening influence wash over you, because it shouldn't last long. By the same token though, this also gives you the opportunity to identify what your soft or blind spots are. In any event, be as honest and straightforward as you can, because any deceitfulness on your part that stems from the past could surface all too easily at present. The best prescription for handling this rather peculiar period is to use your energies in a helpful, selfless or inspiring manner.

Tuesday 10th June

Experiencing Power: Degeneration or Regeneration

Transiting Sun Squares your natal Pluto from 10th to 13th June 2025. Exact 12th June

The underlying fact of life that everything is born, evolves, decays, dies and is born again now enters your consciousness - in some way, great or small. The opportunity to tune into this cycle of birth and rebirth is well worth taking up, because it gives you a glimpse of the fact that you are a vital part of this cycle. As such, you may sense what is profound and powerful in you and your life, or what is wasteful and degenerate - but you will probably have to peer or delve some way beneath surface appearances in order to do so. You may also encounter manipulators of this power - be they benign or malignant. It could well become necessary for you to let go of decadent elements, and strive towards regenerative ones.

Thursday 12th June

Clear Feelings - Equilibrium - Understanding Needs - Inner Calm

Transiting Sun Sextiles your natal Moon from 12th to 15th June 2025. Exact 14th June

This is an excellent time for getting in touch with both yourself and others, because you now experience an optimum balance between what you want and need, and between what you think and feel. So, you are more than usually able to see things in a healthy light, with a minimum of misunderstanding. Seeing eye to eye, creating agreements or settling disputes is also propitious. Moreover, problems arising from childhood traumas may be successfully explored and set on the road to resolution.

Friday 13th June

Forceful Words and Thinking - Count To Ten - Getting a Lot Done

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Mars from 13th to 15th June 2025. Exact 14th June

It's as if everything has bells on now, and the slightest wrong word or movement sets them jangling. There's a danger of speaking out of turn, or of saying something you later come to regret, so try to think before speaking - or acting, for that matter. You may feel justified in getting heated over a certain issue, but there is a strong possibility that, ultimately, the only satisfaction you'll get is from merely feeling justified. Your 'opponent' if so disposed, could make you eat your words at a later date, or you may not have a 'later date' to say anything at all; justifiable or otherwise.

At this time it pays to look at what it is in you that causes you to feel ineffectual (or overlooked) in any way. This will not only supply you with useful information which you can then do something constructive about, but it would prevent you having a run in with someone, or something, (like a car or sharp object) that has nothing to do with it - other than the fact that they trigger your anger and frustration born of a complex about self-assertion and getting what you want in life.

Also on Friday

Need To Plan Thinking - Heavy Thoughts - Officialdom

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Saturn from 13th to 15th June 2025. Exact 14th June

This is when you can (or have to) get down to some serious thinking or work. Failure to do what needs doing can give rise to depression, or pressure from someone or something that has authority over you. Basically, your mind now turns to whatever is your responsibility. Whether or not you are alive to what that is and knuckle down to it, makes the difference between this being a heavy, or efficient time. It is definitely not a time for woolly thinking and escapism, because you could put yourself in line for some kind of bad reaction or payback, either now or later on. This is not supposed to be a 'fun' time, so don't frustrate or exhaust yourself trying to make out that it is. It's a time for work and effort, so you will feel far better (and lighter) as a result of simply doing what has to be done - or what you have been putting off.

Also on Friday

Easy Communication - Getting Work Done

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Sun from 13th to 16th June 2025. Exact 15th June

You feel 'wired in' to what's most important to you now, so it's a good time for seeing to jobs in hand, saying what has to be said, and generally setting to work on affairs. You are more able to co-ordinate your efforts and deliberations with those of other people at this time, so coming to agreements, and getting good work done on a co-operative basis, are strongly highlighted. Travel arrangements and making connections are far more likely to go smoothly too.

Also on Friday

Stimulating or Attacking Beliefs - Exuberance - Over-Confidence

Transiting Mars Conjuncts your natal Jupiter from 13th to 18th June 2025. Exact 16th June

Hot!

You should feel quite robust while this period lasts; but this can mean anything from your being a tower of strength that inspires others with your faith and optimism, to your blowing a fuse as a result of excessive activity or expectations. What this period basically supplies you with is enough conviction to get things going or state your case. But once this has been achieved, you should then adopt a more modest style, thereby ensuring further success, and avoiding an over-stretching of your resources, or colliding with a greater force.

Monday 16th June

Pleasant Living - Creative Awareness - Happy Day - Love Life

Transiting Venus Sextiles your natal Sun from 16th to 19th June 2025. Exact 18th June

You should be on good terms with the world around now, and particularly with those who are close to you. If there have been any emotional disturbances of late, then this offers an opportunity to patch up and make up. Also, if you want to go and find a certain consumer item, then you are more likely to find just what you want right now. Artistic expression and appreciation is also well-starred - so get thee to a studio, instrument, keyboard or gallery, etc.

Also on Monday

Home/Work Conflicts - Spread A Little Happiness

Transiting Venus Squares your natal MidHeaven from 16th to 19th June 2025. Exact 18th June

Love and social life are now inclined to get in the way of your professional or domestic concerns. A case of business and pleasure not mixing, you could say. This could just be a passing thing, or then again, it could be something more weighty and important making itself felt. Being diplomatic and as pleasant as possible to whoever you have dealings with is the best course now.

Also on Monday

Highlighting Uniqueness and Individuality - Expect the Unexpected

Transiting Sun Squares your natal Uranus from 16th to 19th June 2025. Exact 18th June

How you experience this influence has everything to do with how in touch you are with what is special about life in general and yourself in particular. If you have allowed your life to become too routine and predictable, then something (or someone) could appear on the scene to give you a shock or a jolt, or at least remind you that the world is a wild and extraordinary place. Alternatively, you could be the one to shock others by revealing what is rebellious or highly original about you. Why not make this a date with the unexpected by doing something you'd never normally do? Then, with the element of surprise on your side, there's no telling what new ideas or vistas could open up in front of you!

Also on Monday

Easy Self-Assertion - Energy Flows Forth

Transiting Mars Sextiles your natal Ascendant from 16th to 21st June 2025. Exact 19th June

You should feel that the force is with you now. This won't be quite so evident though if there are more inhibiting planetary influences around, but at least it will help you to deal with them. Notwithstanding this then, say what you want to say, do what you want to do, and go where you want to go. Somehow, others are more likely than usual to fall in with your desires; probably because you're more inclined to express and go for them in a confident and non-provocative way. All forms of physical activity are highlighted at this time.

Wednesday 18th June

Spending Too Much - Spending Too Little - Indulgence or Pleasure?

Transiting Venus Squares your natal Venus from 18th to 21st June 2025. Exact 20th June

This is not really a problem except that you are inclined to overdo it - or conversely, not push the boat out enough. It all depends on what place you give to love and pleasure in your life. If you are naturally generous, affectionate or fun loving, then this time will probably be enjoyable for you - although you might have a hangover or blown budget to contend with afterwards!

If you usually have a hard time giving of yourself and being socially satisfied, this influence is trying to show you why, and how you could remedy such a dilemma. The secret is generosity - on any or all levels - to be aware that another's happiness is ultimately your own too. Without tuning into Venus in a positive way, you can simply feel more anti-social, unattractive, or worthless.

Also on Wednesday

Positive Thinking - Knowing The Plan - Goodwill - Luck

Transiting Sun Sextiles your natal Jupiter from 18th to 21st June 2025. Exact 20th June

You are in a good frame of mind now as you're in touch with the better sides of your life and personality. It's as if you can see how you fit in with the greater whole; you feel that everything is for the best, and you have some sense of how things will pan out alright. So, with anything that is particularly oiled by having Lady Luck on your side, now is a good time to go for it - notwithstanding other influences to the contrary. You are also quite likely to encounter positive and encouraging people at this time.

Thursday 19th June

Sleuthing It - Powerful Words and Thoughts - Deep Study

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Pluto from 19th to 21st June 2025. Exact 21st June

If you have a job to do that requires your undivided attention; do it now. Not only is your mind on relatively good form, and can work into the night, you are also in the frame of mind where you can repel any interference powerfully, even ruthlessly, if need be. You know that you have to see whatever it is through, no matter what.

Friday 20th June

Logic Versus Feelings - Gossip and Trivia

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Moon from 20th to 23rd June 2025. Exact 22nd June

Time could be wasted with gossiping and small talk - but then again, it might be this very thing that makes you feel in tune with your immediate environment. You are more mentally in touch with your feelings at this time, so you may learn a lot on this front, as well as making it clear to others how you feel and, conversely, receiving from them how they feel. Saying too much could be something to watch out for, as too would be getting into a confrontation with somebody who lives close by, a colleague or family member. Then again, it could be precisely such a confrontation that makes you more aware of your own and another's feelings, generally speaking or with regard to some specific matter.

Also on Friday

Highlighting Personal Self-Expression - Being a Social Animal

Transiting Sun Trines your natal Ascendant from 20th to 23rd June 2025. Exact 22nd June

Your urge and ability to mix with others is marginally increased for the time being; you also come across in a more coherent fashion than usual. So, gathering people around you, or getting out and about (depending on which is more suitable), is a good idea, because you now make a good impression. If you usually like to 'play to the crowd', then you'll shine even more now. If not, then you might now possibly surprise yourself.

Saturday 21st June

Bad Buys - Indiscretion - Feelings At Odds With Words

Transiting Venus Squares your natal Mercury from 21st to 24th June 2025. Exact 23rd June

Feelings and values are presently in conflict with how things are seen or communicated. This can give rise to misunderstandings, especially between loved ones. You should be careful not to let a molehill be turned into a mountain, because really this influence should only amount to a 'life and life only' type of irritation that has no real lasting effect.

However, if there is something bigger brewing beneath the surface, then this could bring it out in the open. But it is an ill wind that blows nobody any good, so with a bit of self control and a few well chosen, preferably loving, words, a gain rather than a loss could be on the cards. Apart from these more serious areas, be on your guard against impulse buys or retorts you later come to regret.

Sunday 22nd June

The Inspired Mind - Mystical or Psychic Attunement

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Neptune from 22nd to 24th June 2025. Exact 24th June

If you've been after an answer, or inspiration, from out of the ether, then this is the time you're very likely to receive it. This doesn't mean to say that it will come whatever you're doing. It may, but it would be better to be focused upon the issue of your concern, and then - magic! Doing anything of a creative, therapeutic or entertaining nature is profitable, or advisable, at this time. Any experience involving the natural, or spirit, world is good 'medicine' right now - it may even come to you unbidden.

Monday 23th June

Synchronicity - Being In The Know - Unusual Connections

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Uranus from 23rd to 25th June 2025. Exact 25th June

Being mentally in tune with new ideas, methods and technology is the advantage that this influence offers you. It's as if you can intuitively put your finger on whatever (or whomever) you need to make contact with. This is quite simply a time when you are on good mental and verbal form - so earmark it for those tasks and appointments that require such mental acuity.

Wednesday 25th June

Loving Deeply - Genuine Attraction - Sexual Pleasure

Transiting Venus Trines your natal Pluto from 25th to 28th June 2025. Exact 27th June

You are drawn to what is deep and dark - but probably without feeling controlled or compromised by such a feeling, such as can often be the case. If in a relationship, you now have the experience, or opportunity, of feeling in touch with the nucleus of what binds you together, yet in a way that is very right, fated even. This influence could possibly trigger the start of an important relationship, but there would probably have to be other, longer standing planetary effects to make it so.

Also on Wednesday

Missing the Point - Jumping to Conclusions - Misplaced Interest

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Ascendant from 25th to 28th June 2025. Exact 27th June

You may find yourself in a difficult mediating position right now - or it may be you who is in need of a go-between of some sort. The trouble is, any kind of communication is likely to go awry at present, unless you have someone or something really efficient on the case. Unless you are sure you have such things well in hand, it is best to take a back seat and say very little until this usually brief period is over.

Sunday 29th June

Love's Illusions - Precarious Fantasies - Artistic Inspiration

Transiting Venus Opposes your natal Neptune from 29th June 2025 to 2nd July 2025. Exact 1st July

The most romantic and ideal, but equally the most fanciful and illusory, experiences can come your way now. You are more inclined to fall in love or lust, or to be made a fool of, for that matter. A more reliable expression or use of this influence is to involve yourself with some creative work, have a special time out with someone you have genuine love feelings for, or simply take in a good movie.

A new relationship can arise under this influence - but remember that 'under the influence' can be all it amounts to unless you have at least one foot on the ground. Platonic involvements are quite likely - or they turn out to be! Be that as it may, this can promise to be a pleasurable, if rather heady, time. All of the above could equally just take place in your head. On a more mundane note, you could find just the item you were after, or thought you were! Very much a 'what's real?' type of time, so do not take anything at face value - be it exciting or depressing.

Monday 30th June

The Electricity Of Love - Unusual Attractions - Unexpected Pleasure

Transiting Venus Trines your natal Uranus from 30th June 2025 to 3rd July 2025. Exact 2nd July

There is a sparkle to sexual, social or creative activities. A certain type of freeness pervades your involvements that can give rise to new forms of pleasure or expression, exciting contacts and new groups of people. A good time to get out and experiment with life and society, to see what it has on offer. Gatherings go with a swing, people show their more original or quirky sides.

Also on Monday

Highlighting Personal Drive, Sex Life, Courage and Decisiveness

Transiting Sun Squares your natal Mars from 30th June 2025 to 3rd July 2025. Exact 2nd July

Hot!

Mars is symbolic of that force within and around you which makes it possible to go for, and get something or someone; it also represents the urge and the right to do so. How good, bad or indifferent you are when it comes to expressing your Mars qualities is currently an issue. Being active, independent, forthright or bold now, is a sign that you know what you are after, and how and when to act. Experiencing anger, abusiveness or excessive use of force (either in yourself or another), would be a sign that you need to look at what you yourself are angry about, at what you want, and at what you must do in order to obtain it, or so that you no longer want it.

Also on Monday

Highlighting Status and Responsibilities, Caution and Doubts

Transiting Sun Squares your natal Saturn from 30th June 2025 to 4th July 2025. Exact 2nd July

This period doesn't exactly find you in a party mood, but it does put you in a sober frame of mind that should enable you to get down to identifying what is (and what is not) required of you, and what is blocking your progress or view. The main trouble is that the pressure will be upon you to do just this. It is attempting to duck your responsibilities that would give you a hard time. Equally though, the thanklessness of tasks done out of a blind sense of duty, or born of fear, also shows up now. Even though this period lasts only a few days, time passes slowly, so use it to reflect coolly and carefully upon your position in life, without feeling panicky or depressed about it. Notwithstanding what else is indicated at present, the time to act comes later, after having made your purpose and obligation clearer.

Forecast for July 2025

Wednesday 2nd July

Overdoing It - Pleasure Versus Morality - Overspending

Transiting Venus Squares your natal Jupiter from 2nd to 4th July 2025. Exact 4th July

Depending on your usual propensity for good fortune or giving/having a good time, this influence will provide you with a strong sense and/or experience of what is enjoyable about life. Taking in anything that enlivens or entertains is very propitious now - whether you are in an active or passive role. You have a lust for life at present - but watch your pocket or appetite, unless you are quite prepared to say it was worth the price, no matter what.

You feel luckier than at other times - but that feeling will very likely prove thoroughly unreliable! Any kind of promise now, made by you or to you, could also prove hard to keep, so a bit of caution and a pinch of salt is required at present.

Also on Wednesday

Smooth Running - Opening Doors - No Worries

Transiting Sun Trines your natal Sun from 2nd to 5th July 2025. Exact 4th July

You are 'in sync' with life today - at least, in the context of whatever else is going on for you astrologically at this time. So now is when you can gain co-operation from others, and be generally in tune and in gear. You could also receive assistance from someone; someone who possibly has power or authority.

Saturday 5th July

Healthy Self-Assertion - Getting a Lot Done

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Mars from 5th to 8th July 2025. Exact 7th July

Your mind is now in gear with your body, so anything that needs such an advantage, plan for now if you can. Sports, debate, selling, effective communication, getting your foot in the door - these are just some of the pursuits that you're presently more likely to excel in than you would normally. Any job which has been daunting for you, and you've been putting off - set to work on it now.

Also on Saturday

Getting Down To It - Efficient Thinking and Speaking - Officialdom

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Saturn from 5th to 8th July 2025. Exact 7th July

Now you can do with relative ease those boring tasks that you might usually put off. Mental discipline comes more naturally to you now, and people in authority (like bosses or officials), can be dealt with more effectively - they themselves will also seem more amenable or efficient. Any kind of work, study or communication is highlighted now, but more so the practical rather than the creative type. You find it easier, and more immediately satisfying, to get your affairs in order. Things fall into place, especially if you do, or have done, the groundwork.

Sunday 6th July

Stimulating or Challenging Your Ego - High Energy - Anger or Drive

Transiting Mars Opposes your natal Sun from 6th to 10th July 2025. Exact 8th July

Hot!

Finding a suitable and effective outlet for your energies is the main issue at present. This probably means expressing yourself physically as well as mentally. So, if there is something you have to do that needs a definite degree of forcefulness, then now is the time to go for it. But this is also a time when you can arouse or be aroused to anger or arrogance. This could be just right for clearing the air or making a breakthrough, but watch out for over-reactions, because they could lead to damage. This is a 'hot' period, and can set things off easily. It is up to you whether it is for good or ill.

Monday 7th July

Business Connections - On The Case - Knowing Your Pitch

Transiting Mercury Conjuncts your natal MidHeaven from 7th to 11th July 2025. Exact 9th July

This can just be a busy day at work, or one where you make an important connection with respect to your career. This could take the form of any kind of communication. Being 'out on the street' doing whatever has to be done to further your interests, is very likely - and advisable too. Someone is out there who could be very useful to you - and/or you to them.

Wednesday 9th July

Not Saying or Seeing It Right - The Need for Diplomacy

Transiting Mercury Opposes your natal Venus from 9th to 16th July 2025. Exact 12th July

This is a time when logical thought is at odds with the emotional, or aesthetic, side of life. Not seeing eye-to-eye with a member of the opposite sex is highly likely, because one of you wants to make sense of things, while the other wants to feel right about something. One of you might want to talk, while the other wants to experience affection or sensual pleasure. None of this poses a big problem - unless you let it - because this is just a passing phase, a time when you are out of 'sync' with whoever is close to you.

It's also a time when work issues can get in the way of personal ones, or vice versa, so avoid mixing business with pleasure. If you already have been doing so, then this could prove an awkward time for you. Sorting out love problems is quite likely, and desirable too. But be wary of the above described inclination to speak in different 'languages' to one another. Try to meet each other half way - it's the only way at present.

Friday 11th July

Repairs and Regeneration - Getting to the Bottom of It

Transiting Sun Sextiles your natal Pluto from 11th to 15th July 2025. Exact 13th July

This is a good time to start any regimen, to turn things around, to eliminate anything that has been bothering you, or simply to put what's wrong right. You feel a power coursing through you, but it is a gentle and sure power - not one that is insisting you express it no matter what. Your powers of concentration, and your stamina - be it physical, mental or emotional - are stronger than usual, so any demanding activity is better pursued at this time.

Saturday 12th July

Love And Sex - Romantic Opportunity - Attracting and/or Attracted

Transiting Venus Sextiles your natal Mars from 12th to 15th July 2025. Exact 14th July

This should go down in your diary as a time to have a good time socially, sexually or romantically - maybe all three! You are at your best with respect to these areas of your life and personality, so opportunity beckons. Attractive, artistic or simply likeable people appear on the scene to sweeten your life - or you could be the one being this for someone else. There should be signs right now - big or small - that it is good to be alive.

Also on Saturday

Love And Duty - Serious Attachments - The Importance Of Commitment

Transiting Venus Sextiles your natal Saturn from 12th to 15th July 2025. Exact 14th July

This brings a period of relative stability in your love life, social involvements or financial affairs. What comprises such is now shown to you, so you can take stock of whatever that is and use it to build and secure these areas for the future. You are now more inclined to be economical and dutiful, without it feeling like a wet blanket. Partners are also inclined towards being more responsible and mature at present.

Sunday 13th July

Love At Odds With Life - Love Life Laid Bare - Lovers' Tiffs

Transiting Venus Squares your natal Sun from 13th to 16th July 2025. Exact 15th July

You can now have the classic Venusian experience of, or opportunity for love, romance, beauty, value or anything else that makes life worth living. It is also a good time to go out or get down to finding such things. On the other hand, what happens is that the level and quality of romantic or social involvement in your life is now apparent and intensified.

The effect can therefore be anything from having a really good time to feeling in need of having a good time, from looking good to feeling how uphill it is trying to look good, from experiencing love and life as sweet and fulfilling to feeling that everything is superficial and of little value. A purchase can be just what you wanted or turn out later to be an indulgent waste of money.

In the end, Venus is about finding love, beauty and value in whatever circumstances you are in, and not fretting after something that is missing or wanting. Stop wanting and start having; stop craving and start giving. And beauty is only skin deep if that is only as far as you look!

Monday 14th July

Charity Begins At Home - Domestic Harmony - Loving Family

Transiting Venus Sextiles your natal MidHeaven from 14th to 17th July 2025. Exact 16th July

This is a mild influence that should help you to use your skills to blend your working and private life, to get one to serve the other. Any artistic or creative flair or project can now gain support from both official and personal spheres.

Also on Monday

Feeling Split - Emotional Conflict - Negotiating Difficulties

Transiting Sun Squares your natal Moon from 14th to 17th July 2025. Exact 16th July

You could find yourself in two minds about a certain issue. Such could, in turn, give rise to discontent and conflict of purpose. You may find yourself in disputes with family members, or be feeling generally at odds with the world around you. Succumbing to negative feelings would, however, be missing the point as this influence offers you the opportunity to see the emotional score, to be less subjective, read the writing on the wall and obey what it says. You can sort out problems as long as you are emotionally honest enough to accept that which is your responsibility and that which is someone else's - because this is now being made clear.

Tuesday 15th July

Pleasure Plus - Love Life Enhanced - Spending Sprees - Generosity

Transiting Venus Trines your natal Venus from 15th to 18th July 2025. Exact 17th July

Pleasure and harmony are the hallmarks of this time, but so too is indulgence, so watch your pocket and appetite! Be that as it may, Venus says that, at times, you just must enjoy yourself and not count the cost. The value of having a good time is priceless, and this influence has that very potential. Your love life can also receive a boost now, be it the start of something big, a rekindled romance, or simply an enjoyable evening or two with one (or ones) that are important to you.

Wednesday 16th July

Going With The Flow - Attuned To Spirit - Creativity and Entertainment

Transiting Sun Trines your natal Neptune from 16th to 19th July 2025. Exact 18th July

This is a fine, subtle influence, which you could miss unless you are alive to the unseen, mystical or imaginative elements of life and your personality. Any kind of creative or spiritual pursuit - either active or passive - is propitious under this planetary effect. You are more attuned to subtle and emotional vibrations than usual, and possibly sense that struggling with issues only prolongs or complicates them. An enjoyable time listening to, or playing music, communing with Nature, or any activity involving the sea, are some of the possibilities right now.

Friday 18th July

Waking up to The Truth - Light upon The Future - The New and Unusual

Transiting Sun Sextiles your natal Uranus from 18th to 21st July 2025. Exact 20th July

Whatever else may be going on in your life, this influence helps you to see it as part of a greater pattern or long term process of development. You also gain insights into what is unique about yourself, and others too - and you begin to appreciate more what freedom actually means. Additionally, this is a good time to involve yourself with subjects that take a greater overview of life, like science and technology, astronomy, astrology, psychology, etc.

Also on Friday

Loving Thoughts - Sweet Words - Artistic Perception

Transiting Venus Trines your natal Mercury from 18th to 21st July 2025. Exact 20th July

The poet, writer, artist or diplomat is now strong in you, so with any situation that requires a way with words, you're the one for the job! People or things that please and interest you are now likely to appear on the scene, so gatherings and shopping trips are propitious - notwithstanding, as usual, any contrary planetary influences possibly active at this time.

Saturday 19th July

Not Saying or Seeing It Right - The Need for Diplomacy

Transiting Mercury Retrograde Opposes your natal Venus from 19th to 25th July 2025. Exact 23rd July

This is a time when logical thought is at odds with the emotional, or aesthetic, side of life. Not seeing eye-to-eye with a member of the opposite sex is highly likely, because one of you wants to make sense of things, while the other wants to feel right about something. One of you might want to talk, while the other wants to experience affection or sensual pleasure. None of this poses a big problem - unless you let it - because this is just a passing phase, a time when you are out of 'sync' with whoever is close to you.

It's also a time when work issues can get in the way of personal ones, or vice versa, so avoid mixing business with pleasure. If you already have been doing so, then this could prove an awkward time for you. Sorting out love problems is quite likely, and desirable too. But be wary of the above described inclination to speak in different 'languages' to one another. Try to meet each other half way - it's the only way at present.

Monday 21st July

Challenging Social/Emotional Equilibrium - Importance of Sharing

Transiting Sun Squares your natal Ascendant from 21st to 24th July 2025. Exact 23rd July

Seeing eye-to-eye with others is not easy now, so don't expect to gain any goodwill, persuade anyone, or feel that 'at peace' with the world. This is really a test of your equilibrium, so just balance on that wire and don't try any clever tricks.

Tuesday 22nd July

Deep or Obsessive Love - Powerful Attraction - Sexual Guilt

Transiting Venus Squares your natal Pluto from 22nd to 24th July 2025. Exact 24th July

You find you feel deeply for someone or something, or that you want to, or that you cannot get someone or something out of your system. In any event, you are experiencing the depth and power of love or attraction - and what you do with it is down to your deepest values. Such a feeling can actually turn up as someone who you feel strongly drawn to. It may or may not be mutual, it all depends upon that deeper state of your emotional being - is it attracting or repelling?

There is a 'Beauty and the Beast' quality to this influence, in that you could experience one or both of these extremes, with someone else on the other end, so to speak. The gulf between what is regarded as appealing and presentable as against what usually has to hide its face, feel anti-social, is a possibility now.

The trick is to go deep but not too deep, to appreciate face values, but not regard them as the entire picture. Be on guard against being manipulated - value yourself above all else - or of manipulating someone yourself, because you would only entrench yourself or get more than you bargained for. Possessiveness and jealousy can rear their heads now, which has something to do with being more in touch with what does and does not constitute genuine love. Handled right, you can get the best of both worlds: intense pleasure, deep feelings, and profound love.

Also on Tuesday

Triggering Fate - Stimulating Powerful Urges

Transiting Mars Conjuncts your natal Pluto from 22nd to 26th July 2025. Exact 24th July

Hot and Heavy!

This can spark off things that have a long-lasting effect, because you feel strongly about anything that is currently happening to you, and so you are liable to act upon it. For example, this could involve a sexual encounter that has a deep affect upon you, or an intense meeting or conflict with someone, or anything that really gets to you - possibly in an obsessive way. Your 'gun' is 'loaded' right now, so be careful where you point it. Stay away from any areas that are potentially violent or dangerous. Using this sense of power that you currently feel can be very effective if used wisely, or quite damaging if used in a mean, manipulative or unaware fashion.

Wednesday 23th July

Retrograde

Business Connections - On The Case - Knowing Your Pitch

Transiting Mercury Retrograde Conjuncts your natal MidHeaven from 23rd to 28th July 2025. Exact 26th July

This can just be a busy day at work, or one where you make an important connection with respect to your career. This could take the form of any kind of communication. Being 'out on the street' doing whatever has to be done to further your interests, is very likely - and advisable too. Someone is out there who could be very useful to you - and/or you to them.

Thursday 24th July

Emotional Harmony - Accord with/between Females - Attractiveness

Transiting Venus Sextiles your natal Moon from 24th to 26th July 2025. Exact 25th July

This is a very 'female' influence in that you are inclined to use charm and receptivity rather than drive and ambition. If you are usually disposed towards making things happen, you would now be wise to let them happen as they will, because in this way the easiest solution or most attractive outcome will ensue. Any pursuits that require grace, diplomacy or artistic imagination, or occasions like domestic or family gatherings and parties are highlighted at this time.

Saturday 26th July

Retrograde

Getting Down To It - Efficient Thinking and Speaking - Officialdom

Transiting Mercury Retrograde Trines your natal Saturn from 26th to 30th July 2025. Exact 28th July

Now you can do with relative ease those boring tasks that you might usually put off. Mental discipline comes more naturally to you now, and people in authority (like bosses or officials), can be dealt with more effectively - they themselves will also seem more amenable or efficient. Any kind of work, study or communication is highlighted now, but more so the practical rather than the creative type. You find it easier, and more immediately satisfying, to get your affairs in order. Things fall into place, especially if you do, or have done, the groundwork.

Also on Saturday

Retrograde

Healthy Self-Assertion - Getting a Lot Done

Transiting Mercury Retrograde Trines your natal Mars from 26th to 30th July 2025. Exact 28th July

Your mind is now in gear with your body, so anything that needs such an advantage, plan for now if you can. Sports, debate, selling, effective communication, getting your foot in the door - these are just some of the pursuits that you're presently more likely to excel in than you would normally. Any job which has been daunting for you, and you've been putting off - set to work on it now.

Sunday 27th July

The Electricity Of Love - Unusual Attractions - Possible Alienation

Transiting Venus Squares your natal Uranus from 27th to 30th July 2025. Exact 29th July

Whatever is out of the ordinary regarding sexual, social, creative or romantic involvements can appear out of the blue now. By the very nature of this influence it is hard to say what will happen. For the same reason it is best not to put too much store by whatever does, because it will most probably be a flash-in-the-pan kind of occurrence.

Experimental, shocking or odd - whatever happens now can be anything from extremely exciting to somehow detached - or both even. This influence can trigger the start of an exciting relationship, but it does not predict which way it will go, because the only assurance as far as Uranus is concerned is that you can expect the unexpected; so be ready to be woken up to something new. Significant coincidences can happen now, trying to tell you something about how love and life tick. Sudden attractions and/or breaks in relationship can also occur.

Monday 28th July

Love And Goodwill - Fun And Generosity - Joie De Vivre - Lady Luck

Transiting Venus Sextiles your natal Jupiter from 28th to 31st July 2025. Exact 30th July

Depending on your usual propensity for good fortune or giving/having a good time, this influence will provide you with a strong sense and/or experience of what is enjoyable about life. Taking in anything that enlivens or entertains is very propitious now - whether you are in an active or passive role. You have a lust for life at present - but watch your pocket or appetite, unless you are quite prepared to say it was worth the price, no matter what.

Any activity that requires you to put out a good or generous vibe is best booked for now. You are luckier than at other times - but bear in mind that gambling can have an agenda all of its own so paradoxically, do not bet on it! It is better by far to see and experience this influence as a gift from the gods - but on the gods' terms. This means to say that there is something good in the air, but do not presume on it being 'good' in precisely the way you think you want it to mean. It is really an opportunity to find out what 'good' actually means.

Tuesday 29th July

Acting Selflessly - Relaxed Inactivity

Transiting Mars Sextiles your natal Neptune from 29th July 2025 to 2nd August 2025. Exact 1st August

This influence can be almost unnoticeable because the desires 'to act' and 'to do nothing' coincide. So, deliberately doing nothing in the form of relaxing or withdrawing to contemplate what you (and it) are all about is recommended. It can also be a good idea to do something that helps others achieve ends that have little to do with your own. In fact, anything that your ego would normally get in the way of may now be healthily embarked upon.

Wednesday 30th July

Attractive Presentation - Working To Please - Social Investments

Transiting Venus Trines your natal Ascendant from 30th July 2025 to 2nd August 2025. Exact 1st August

This is an excellent time to be seen in your best light. Making presentations, performing, making a play for someone or something, even going down on bended knee - these are all highlighted under this influence. Generally, others are glad to have you around, and the feeling will probably be mutual.

Thursday 31st July

Asserting Individuality - Provoking The Unexpected

Transiting Mars Conjuncts your natal Uranus from 31st July 2025 to 5th August 2025. Exact 3rd August

Hot!

A time to discover your freedom 'to be' and find out who you really are. You are now sharply made aware of this freedom; whether you think you want it or not! So, you could find yourself feeling restless, uncomfortably restricted, or easily agitated by others' expectations of you. You need the space to be yourself. The more that you understand this, then the freer you will feel to do your own thing, or start something new, without feeling insecure because of having to break away from the norm. At the other extreme, if you suppress or are totally unaware of your need for freedom, then be ready for a shock that is in aid of waking you up to it - like an accident or someone close to you asserting their need for freedom.

Forecast for August 2025

Friday 1st August

Getting Things Done - Healthy Self-Assertion - Feeling Fit

Transiting Sun Trines your natal Mars from 1st to 4th August 2025. Exact 3rd August

Getting down to things, opening doors, launching yourself with energy and enthusiasm, attaining the object of your desires - these are some of the advantages of this influence. In proportion to your usual powers of self-assertion, asserting yourself in any way is in tune with the general way of things at present.

Also on Friday

A Sense of Order - Highlighting Discipline and Economy

Transiting Sun Trines your natal Saturn from 1st to 4th August 2025. Exact 3rd August

You should be functioning well over these few days, so it's a good time to get more systematic, devise a plan, or even embark upon some important undertaking - assuming other indications are not inauspicious. You are, at present, more than usually inclined to get down to what needs doing without being, or feeling, distracted by issues that do not bear directly on the job in hand. You are now more disposed towards structure and efficiency than you are towards whims or sentimentality.

Sunday 3rd August

Highlighting or Boosting Career Status - A Lift from Authority

Transiting Sun Conjuncts your natal MidHeaven from 3rd to 6th August 2025. Exact 5th August

If you want to look your best before those who can help you in the material world, then now is your window - providing of course that there are no deleterious influences abounding. You could also have a better eye for opportunity, and be able to see which is the best course to take with respect to your profession or vocation.

Monday 4th August

Highlighting Love Life, Pleasure, Material and Social Values

Transiting Sun Opposes your natal Venus from 4th to 7th August 2025. Exact 6th August

What shows now is the 'state of the art'. In other words, whatever you are doing, or not doing, with regard to filling your own and others' lives with some love and beauty is brought to your attention. So such areas as relationships, arts and crafts, social activities, buying and spending, or things that add a sweetness to life are presently to the fore. Positively, this can take the form of generosity, a love encounter, a party, a general sense of happiness, or anything that helps to make life attractive and more worth living. Negatively, finding yourself being mean, lonely, indulgent, excessive, vain or superficial would point to the fact that a genuine sense of worth, and the ability to give or receive love, is somewhat lacking in your life.

Friday 8th August

Love And Duty - Serious Attachments - The Importance Of Commitment

Transiting Venus Squares your natal Saturn from 8th to 10th August 2025. Exact 9th August

You experience the serious or very real side of love and social involvement now. This is not a time for having fun and letting your hair down, so do not plan for this or get frustrated trying to make it so. More than likely your partner, or people in general, will come across as sober and responsible now - or in need of such qualities. If you are not with anyone, you can feel more alone than usual, or if you are prepared to take a serious rather than cynical look, you can get the measure of why you are unattached.

If this is truly not an issue under this influence, then you can probably congratulate yourself on being genuinely self-sufficient. By and large though, this period is inclined to show up the warts and weaknesses in your love and social life, including the pressure to do something about it. In any event, this means being emotionally mature and responsible and doing what has to done, even though it is difficult. In time, such commitment will prove to be well worth it. On a financial level, you may well have to read the writing on the wall here instead, or as well, getting real about money being the call of the day.

Also on Friday

State of Mind - Stimulating Interests - Highlighting Anxieties

Transiting Sun Opposes your natal Mercury from 8th to 11th August 2025. Exact 10th August

Life's spotlight is focused upon the way you think and perceive things now. So, this can mean many things, depending upon what you have currently been doing with your mental faculties, or to your nervous system. Studying, planning, reading, short distance travel, making conversation, arguing the point, gossiping, worrying, or just plain thinking - these are some examples of Mercurial activities that are presently being intensified. This means that more energy is available to you for putting into one or more of these situations, or that you should learn to slow down, trust, think and talk a little less, and listen and feel more.

Also on Friday

Love At Odds With Sex - Attracting and/or Attracted

Transiting Venus Squares your natal Mars from 8th to 10th August 2025. Exact 9th August

You are very much in the mood for sexual and/or romantic experience, or simply to feel socially alive. Depending upon your temperament and availability, such an experience, or at least the opportunity for one, could arise right now, or, it would be a good time to plan for such an occasion, or, failing all of these, it could be a time of frustration if these matters have been put on the backburner.

Then again, out of the blue could come an experience that kind of pleasurably highlights the current state of affairs in your love/sex/social life - even precipitating you into an affair or relationship. All in all though, this has the potential to be an enjoyable and exciting time - but be wary of your own shortcomings with respect to these areas being exposed.

Saturday 9th August

Pleasant Living - Creative Awareness - Happy Day - Love Life Issues

Transiting Venus Trines your natal Sun from 9th to 11th August 2025. Exact 10th August

You should be on good terms with the world around now, and particularly with those who are close to you. If there have been any emotional disturbances of late, then this offers an opportunity to patch up and make up. Also, if you want to go and find a certain consumer item, then you are more likely to find just what you want right now. Artistic expression and appreciation is also highlighted - so get thee to a studio, instrument, keyboard or gallery, etc.

Thursday 14th August

Clear Feelings - Equilibrium - Understanding Needs - Inner Calm

Transiting Sun Trines your natal Moon from 14th to 17th August 2025. Exact 16th August

This is an excellent time for getting in touch with both yourself and others, because you now experience an optimum balance between what you want and need, and between what you think and feel. So, you are more than usually able to see things in a healthy light, with a minimum of misunderstanding. Seeing eye to eye, creating agreements or settling disputes is also propitious. Moreover, problems arising from childhood traumas may be successfully explored and set on the road to resolution.

Saturday 16th August

Loving Deeply - Genuine Attraction - Sexual Pleasure

Transiting Venus Sextiles your natal Pluto from 16th to 19th August 2025. Exact 18th August

You are drawn to what is deep and dark - but probably without feeling controlled or compromised by such a feeling, such as can often be the case. If in a relationship, you now have the experience, or opportunity, of feeling in touch with the nucleus of what binds you together, yet in a way that is very right, fated even. This influence could possibly trigger the start of an important relationship, but there would probably have to be other, longer standing planetary effects to make it so.

Sunday 17th August

Highlighting Sensitivity - Idealism/Escapism - Compassion/Weaknesses

Transiting Sun Squares your natal Neptune from 17th to 20th August 2025. Exact 19th August

What is brought to light now is something that has been happening outside of your conscious awareness, or has been kept out of sight. Obviously this can mean any number of things, for example: finding out something that's been going on behind your back, or discovering a mysterious dimension of reality you only ever dreamt of; becoming conscious of the fact that you identify more closely with certain others and their hopes and fears, or weak spots being exposed in yourself or others. In any event, it is important that you keep a firm grip on reality, yet, at the same time, remain open to fact or notion that we are all mysteriously united in some way. Generally speaking, your ego is less resilient than usual, so take a back seat and watch life's picture show if you don't feel up to starring in it. Also, be extra careful with drink or drugs because highs and lows are presently very interchangeable.

Monday 18th August

Emotional Discomfort - Discord with/between Females - Let It Be

Transiting Venus Squares your natal Moon from 18th to 21st August 2025. Exact 20th August

This need not necessarily be a difficult time - it can in fact turn out to be quite pleasurable. However, there is an inclination for social and domestic needs to get in the way of one another. This can also include disharmony on the home front, conflict between mother and lover, or being too accommodating and having to pay the price. Inherent in all this though, is a need for peace, so that upsets are usually righted quite soon afterwards. Feelings and values may clash, but the requirements of security and harmony eventually hold sway.

Wednesday 20th August

Healthy Self-Assertion - Getting a Lot Done

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Mars from 20th to 23rd August 2025. Exact 22nd August

Your mind is now in gear with your body, so anything that needs such an advantage, plan for now if you can. Sports, debate, selling, effective communication, getting your foot in the door - these are just some of the pursuits that you're presently more likely to excel in than you would normally. Any job which has been daunting for you, and you've been putting off - set to work on it now.

Also on Wednesday

Getting Down To It - Efficient Thinking and Speaking - Officialdom

Mental discipline comes more naturally to you now, and people in authority (like bosses or officials), can be dealt with more effectively - they themselves will also seem more amenable or efficient. Any kind of work, study or communication is highlighted now, but more so the practical rather than the creative type. You find it easier, and more immediately satisfying, to get your affairs in order. Things fall into place, especially if you do, or have done, the groundwork.

Also on Wednesday

Highlighting Expansiveness and Faith - A Sense of Greatness

Transiting Sun Conjuncts your natal Jupiter from 20th to 23rd August 2025. Exact 22nd August

Whatever it is that you are like normally, now you are more so! Essentially, you are experiencing an urge to grow beyond yourself, and to understand matters in a more comprehensive and philosophical way. So, if you do have something of this nature in mind, then now is the time to make it (begin to) happen. But what you allow yourself, and others, to do or be, has everything to do with your moral viewpoint, which is presently a vital issue. So for a more rewarding life, now and in the future, you would be wise to cultivate an optimistic and big hearted attitude, and to be mindful that biting off more than you can chew, or making empty promises, is a sure sign that you are pretending to be larger than life, rather than actually being as large as life.

Also on Wednesday

Love Dreams - Pleasing Fantasies - Artistic Inspiration

Transiting Venus Trines your natal Neptune from 20th to 23rd August 2025. Exact 22nd August

Any feelings or ideas regarding love, sex, music or art - or social life generally - are now nicely attuned to your ideals and visions of a better life. None of this is particularly dynamic, but this gentle, almost 'hippie' type, influence can be very enjoyable. This is a good time to put aside for any pursuit or pastime that comes into these categories.

Thursday 21st August

Business Connections - On The Case - Knowing Your Pitch

Transiting Mercury Conjuncts your natal MidHeaven from 21st to 24th August 2025. Exact 23rd August

This can just be a busy day at work, or one where you make an important connection with respect to your career. This could take the form of any kind of communication. Being 'out on the street' doing whatever has to be done to further your interests, is very likely - and advisable too. Someone is out there who could be very useful to you - and/or you to them.

Friday 22nd August

The Electricity Of Love - Unusual Attractions - Unexpected Pleasure

Transiting Venus Sextiles your natal Uranus from 22nd to 24th August 2025. Exact 23rd August

There is a sparkle to sexual, social or creative activities. A certain type of freeness pervades your involvements that can give rise to new forms of pleasure or expression, exciting contacts and new groups of people. This is a good time to get out and experiment with life and society to see what it has on offer. Gatherings go with a swing, people show their more original or quirky sides.

Also on Friday

Highlighting Personal Self-Expression - Being a Social Animal

Transiting Sun Sextiles your natal Ascendant from 22nd to 25th August 2025. Exact 24th August

Your urge and ability to mix with others is marginally increased for the time being; you also come across in a more coherent fashion than usual. So, gathering people around you, or getting out and about (depending on which is more suitable), is a good idea, because you now make a good impression. If you usually like to 'play to the crowd', then you'll shine even more now. If not, then you might now possibly surprise yourself.

Also on Friday

Not Saying or Seeing It Right - The Need for Diplomacy

Transiting Mercury Opposes your natal Venus from 22nd to 25th August 2025. Exact 24th August

This is a time when logical thought is at odds with the emotional, or aesthetic, side of life. Not seeing eye-to-eye with a member of the opposite sex is highly likely, because one of you wants to make sense of things, while the other wants to feel right about something. One of you might want to talk, while the other wants to experience affection or sensual pleasure. None of this poses a big problem - unless you let it - because this is just a passing phase, a time when you are out of 'sync' with whoever is close to you.

It's also a time when work issues can get in the way of personal ones, or vice versa, so avoid mixing business with pleasure. If you already have been doing so, then this could prove an awkward time for you. Sorting out love problems is quite likely, and desirable too. But be wary of the above described inclination to speak in different 'languages' to one another. Try to meet each other half way - it's the only way at present.

Also on Friday

Stimulating Assertiveness - Provoking Aggression - High Energy

Transiting Mars Opposes your natal Mars from 22nd to 26th August 2025. Exact 24th August

Hot!

You should be raring to go now, so it's important that you have some constructive outlet for such energies, or otherwise you'll feel wound up and easily agitated. Basically, you should do anything that makes you feel happy to be active and mobile. If for any reason this is not possible, try to identify inside of you what exactly it is that you want or wish to do. Generally, you now get a good idea of how decisive and forthright you currently are. In fact, any course of action that initiates, regenerates or merely continues any project is recommended at this point. However, be warned that working at something resentfully, or repressing and being totally unaware of any urge to act at all, would be asking for a backlash in the form an accident or aggression from someone else - or simply feeling drained.

Also on Friday

Inhibited or Disciplined Activity - Slowly Does It

Transiting Mars Opposes your natal Saturn from 22nd to 26th August 2025. Exact 24th August

Hot and Cold

At present there is a danger of your doubts and fears intruding just when you wish to act. This could take the external form of others holding you up in some way, or of some authority holding you back. Struggling angrily against such blockages would attract more frustration, so it's probably most advisable to take a back seat now. Working out your pent-up energies in an industrious fashion is a simple and productive solution. This would also mean having to avoid complications with others, which in turn could bring troublesome emotions to the surface in what could be a physically damaging way.

Sunday 24th August

Appearance Versus Circumstances - Love The One You're With

Transiting Venus Squares your natal Ascendant from 24th to 27th August 2025. Exact 26th August

Venus' trickier ways can dog you now if you are not aware of them. For instance, this means that someone can catch your eye and come to compromise you later. Or, your partner can appear to have not as much going for them as you think you'd like. The situation could be reversed, in both cases. In other words, do not be fooled by looks or style now; stick to the main plot.

Also on Sunday

Taking the Initiative - Making Your Way Forwards and Upwards

Transiting Mars Sextiles your natal MidHeaven from 24th to 28th August 2025. Exact 27th August

Whatever needs doing that will help push things forward with regard to your job or profession, now is the time when you are more likely to find the energy to do so. Alternatively, or additionally, some individual could give you a push. Or, others might be looking to you for leadership, and this gives you the confidence to oblige them. Notwithstanding other inhibiting factors, the lights are now on green for 'go'.

Monday 25th August

Disagreement - Nervous Energy - The Devil Makes Work For Idle Hands

Transiting Mercury Opposes your natal Mercury from 25th to 27th August 2025. Exact 26th August

Irritation, a lack of relevance, bad communication, work setbacks, inappropriate thinking - these are some of the things that could dog you at present. To avoid such frustrations, or simply feeling at a loose end, find an optimum environment for getting down to what has to be done. This could well mean working on your own somewhere, or keeping intrusions down to a minimum in some other way.

All forms of communication could become a nuisance, or be unreliable, with the proverbial wires getting crossed. Again, seek to lessen difficulties by avoiding having to make important decisions dependent upon making a specific contact or travel connection. Look for a more suitable time for such activities.

Wednesday 27th August

Loving Sex - Ease of Expression - Party Time

Transiting Mars Trines your natal Venus from 27th to 31st August 2025. Exact 29th August

This is a wonderful time for physically enjoying yourself. Your senses are more than usually responsive to stimulation, and others are also more responsive to your actions. You can now discover (or improve) your ability to 'hit the spot' - either in an intimate situation or in company. You are more attuned to striking a balance between getting and giving, and to the fact that mutual pleasure is pleasure indeed. Artistic pursuits are also highlighted during this period.

Thursday 28th August

Contacting Feelings - Easy Conversation - Interest and Sympathy

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Moon from 28th to 30th August 2025. Exact 30th August

Things are more likely to fall into place now because you have a greater than usual sense of give and take. You talk, but also listen, and vice versa. Enquiry is met with relevant response. Allowed to run on like this, this period can become very stimulating and informative, both emotionally and intellectually. Any intercommunications, personal or business, are highlighted at this time.

Saturday 30th August

The Confused Mind - Deceptions or Misunderstandings

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Neptune from 30th August 2025 to 1st September 2025. Exact 31st August

Unless you're doing something of a creative, therapeutic, or entertaining nature at this time, you are possibly asking to attract absent-mindedness or strange, even paranoid, ideas. Crossed lines could also dog any form of communication. So, this is not a time to make any crucial decisions or broach delicate matters - either it just wouldn't come out right, or, what another says or does could be taken in the wrong way. Also, when you're out and about you may get lost in some way or other. Sitting back and watching the world go by, or taking in a film you know you're going to like, are a few ways of safely, even enjoyably, getting through this one.

Sunday 31st August

Seeing the Whole - Getting a Plan - Philosophical Thinking

Transiting Mercury Conjuncts your natal Jupiter from 31st August 2025 to 2nd September 2025. Exact 2nd September

You are now put in touch with all you need to know. However, this can be a double-edged weapon, because on the one hand it could find you able to manage various items or activities into an effective whole, or, on the other hand, find you confused as ideas and conflicting considerations flood your mind, giving rise to a 'brain jam'. Marshalling your thoughts is therefore both the issue and the opportunity at present. Ultimately, you're gaining some kind of understanding now, be it about something specific or something general.

Out of this, a philosophical overview can be arrived at, thereby accommodating anything that is presently going on in your life. Another possible expression is thinking, speaking and/or acting out of a sense of opinion rather than a firm fact. Such succumbing to generalities posing as the truth could set you up for embarrassment or a lot of wasted time, or both, as you bluff and exaggerate your way into, or out of, something. So, get the facts straight - that is, of course, unless you're quite happy to pontificate. Dealing with foreign matters (or people) could also be an issue now - again, worthy of detailed consideration.

Forecast for September 2025

Monday 1st September

On The Ball - Getting Around Locally and/or Mentally

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Ascendant from 1st to 3rd September 2025. Exact 3rd September

Life is interesting and busy at this time. Useful contacts, stimulating people and subjects cross your path. If you have to look anyone or anything up, you're more likely than usual to make the right connections, possess good timing. You could also receive a significant communication, or the even the one you've been waiting for; especially if there are other activities occurring that indicate positive events.

Also on Monday

Communicating with Conviction - Mental Stimulation

Transiting Mars Trines your natal Mercury from 1st to 5th September 2025. Exact 3rd September

You may now put your point across to others in a direct and decisive way. Or conversely, you are now more than usually able to grasp a given issue. So this is a good time for studying, any kind of verbal interaction, or making your position clear. You are generally more dexterous and co-ordinated, so tasks or pursuits - like driving, sports, quizzes, etc - are well-starred at present.

Tuesday 2nd September

Love And Sex - Romantic Opportunity - Attracting and/or Attracted

Transiting Venus Trines your natal Mars from 2nd to 4th September 2025. Exact 4th September

This should go down in your diary as a time to have a good time socially, sexually or romantically - maybe all three! You are at your best with respect to these areas of your life and personality, so opportunity beckons. Attractive, artistic or simply likeable people appear on the scene to sweeten your life - or you could be the one being this for someone else. There should be signs right now - big or small - that it is good to be alive.

Also on Tuesday

Love And Duty - Serious Attachments - The Importance Of Commitment

Transiting Venus Trines your natal Saturn from 2nd to 4th September 2025. Exact 4th September

This brings a period of relative stability in your love life, social involvements or financial affairs. What comprises such is now shown to you, so you can take stock of whatever that is and use it to build and secure these areas for the future. You are now more inclined to be economical and dutiful, without it feeling like a wet blanket. Partners are also inclined to be more responsible and mature at present.

Also on Tuesday

Ego Conflicts - Me Versus The Rest - Cool It!

Transiting Sun Opposes your natal Sun from 2nd to 5th September 2025. Exact 4th September

This is not a time to see eye to eye with others, because you are now confrontation prone, whether you like it or not! You can use this affect to get a reading of how you, and another, or the world in general, squares up to you, but by and large it is best during these few days either to take the line of least resistance, or to soldier on if needs must.

Wednesday 3rd September

All The World Loves A Lover - Attracting Status - Good Turn

Transiting Venus Conjuncts your natal MidHeaven from 3rd to 6th September 2025. Exact 5th September

This is a good time - other planetary influences willing - to ask for a raise or bank loan because you emanate, or can sense, the way to success. Your emotional state, reflected by the kind of relationship you are currently involved in, makes itself felt in the world around you, depending upon what that state is. Positive news, or at least an approving view, adorns your professional position now.

Thursday 4th September

Spending Too Much - Spending Too Little - Indulgence or Pleasure?

Transiting Venus Opposes your natal Venus from 4th to 7th September 2025. Exact 6th September

This is not really a problem except that you are inclined to overdo it - or conversely, not push the boat out enough. It all depends on what place you give to love and pleasure in your life. If you are naturally generous, affectionate or fun loving, then this time will probably be enjoyable for you - although you might have a hangover or blown budget to contend with afterwards!

If you usually have a hard time giving of yourself and being socially satisfied, this influence is trying to show you why, and how you could remedy such a dilemma. The secret is generosity - on any or all levels - to be aware that another's happiness is ultimately your own too. Without tuning into Venus in a positive way, you can simply feel more anti-social, unattractive, or worthless.

Sunday 7th September

Communication Challenges - Pressing Work Issues - Spats

Transiting Mercury Opposes your natal Sun from 7th to 9th September 2025. Exact 8th September

If you start feeling a bit overwrought during this time, then take few deep breaths - or better still - do some breathing exercises. If you are prone to insomnia, this influence could exacerbate it, because you're more than usually inclined to working everything out in your head. As your mind and ego are kind of hooked up together now, try not to blurt out the first thing that comes into your head since you may regret it. For the same reason, for maximum mental harmony, keep your mind focused only upon serious issues, or paradoxically, upon humorous ones. Arguing for arguing's sake could be a waste of time and energy now (and could also get you into hotter water than you'd bargained for)!

Also on Sunday

Bad Buys - Indiscretion - Feelings At Odds With Words

Transiting Venus Opposes your natal Mercury from 7th to 10th September 2025. Exact 9th September

Feelings and values are presently in conflict with how things are seen or communicated. This can give rise to misunderstandings, especially between loved ones. You should be careful not to let a molehill be turned into a mountain, because really this influence should only amount to a 'life and life only' type of irritation that has no real lasting effect. However, if there is something bigger brewing beneath the surface, then this could bring it out in the open.

But it is an ill wind that blows nobody any good, because with a bit of self-control and a few well chosen, preferably loving, words, a gain rather than a loss could be on the cards. Apart from these more serious areas, be on your guard against impulse buys or retorts you later come to regret.

Wednesday 10th September

Stimulating or Attacking Feelings - Protecting your Space

Transiting Mars Opposes your natal Moon from 10th to 14th September 2025. Exact 13th September

Hot!

The feelings that you have been sitting on need to come to the surface now. So feeling irritable, or fit to burst, is quite likely. This is a natural safety valve urging you to unload negative feelings such as anger or resentment, and especially those that concern your family and figures, or events, from your past. Being 'reasonable' at this time would be missing the point, because being supposedly abiding and well-behaved is what made you swallow your true feelings in the first place. So 'cough up the bile' and all concerned will feel the healthier and more secure for it eventually. It is very important now to make it clear how you feel, but to avoid unnecessary conflict, you must make the distinction between a feeling and who or what triggers off that feeling.

Friday 12th September

Sleuthing It - Intellectual Conviction or Obsession

Transiting Mercury Conjuncts your natal Pluto from 12th to 14th September 2025. Exact 13th September

Whatever rouses you, or demands your complete attention, is going to appear on the scene now. This could be in the form of a letter, a conversation, a book, or even an old question or feeling that pops to the surface to be looked into. Things that involve a mystery, like a whodunit, can really grab you at this time. Crime, or the underworld, or the seamy side of life, can also suck you in - but probably only on a mental level. Performing work that requires concentration is very possible, or advisable.

Also on Friday

Experiencing Power: Degeneration or Regeneration

Transiting Sun Conjuncts your natal Pluto from 12th to 15th September 2025. Exact 14th September

The underlying fact of life that everything is born, evolves, decays, dies and is born again, now enters your consciousness - in some way, great or small. The opportunity to tune into this cycle of birth and rebirth is well worth taking up, because it gives you a glimpse of the fact that you are a vital part of this cycle. As such, you may sense what is profound and powerful in you and your life, or what is wasteful and degenerate - but you will probably have to peer or delve some way beneath surface appearances in order to do so. You may also encounter manipulators of this power - be they benign or malignant. It could well become necessary for you to let go of decadent elements, and strive towards regenerative ones.

Also on Friday

Emotional Harmony - Accord with/between Females - Attractiveness

Transiting Venus Trines your natal Moon from 12th to 15th September 2025. Exact 14th September

This is a very 'female' influence in that you are inclined to use charm and receptivity rather than drive and ambition. If you are usually disposed towards making things happen, now you are wise to let them happen as they will, because in this way the easiest solution or most attractive outcome will ensue. Any pursuits that require grace, diplomacy or artistic imagination, or occasions like domestic or family gatherings and parties are highlighted at this time.

Sunday 14th September

The Inspired Mind - Mystical or Psychic Attunement

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Neptune from 14th to 17th September 2025. Exact 16th September

If you've been after an answer, or inspiration, from out of the ether, then this is the time you're very likely to receive it. This doesn't mean to say that it will come whatever you're doing. It may, but it would be better to be focused upon the issue of your concern, and then - magic! Doing anything of a creative, therapeutic or entertaining nature is profitable, or advisable, at this time. Any experience involving the natural, or spirit, world is good 'medicine' right now - it may even come to you unbidden.

Also on Sunday

Love's Illusions - Precarious Fantasies - Artistic Inspiration

Transiting Venus Squares your natal Neptune from 14th to 17th September 2025. Exact 16th September

The most romantic and ideal, but equally the most fanciful and illusory, experiences can come your way now. You are more inclined to fall in love or lust, or to be made a fool of, for that matter. A more reliable expression, or use, of this influence is to involve yourself with some creative work, have a special time out with someone you have genuine love feelings for, or simply take in a good movie.

A new relationship can arise under this influence - but remember that 'under the influence' can be all that it amounts to unless you have at least one foot on the ground. Platonic involvements are quite likely - or they turn out to be! Be that as it may, this can promise to be a pleasurable, if rather heady, time. All of the above could equally just take place in your head. On a more mundane note, you could find just the item you were after, or thought you were! Very much a 'what's real?' type of time, so do not take anything at face value - be it exciting or depressing.

Monday 15th September

Synchronicity - Being In The Know - Unusual Connections

Transiting Mercury Conjuncts your natal Uranus from 15th to 17th September 2025. Exact 17th September

Whatever is new or unusual now catches your interest. Then again, it might be a disruptive element that intrudes upon your working and thinking. In any event, some new method or style is available, or necessary. If you're in tune and in time with any necessary changes, then, as if by magic, the right person, thing or opportunity appears on your scene. If you're of a nervous disposition, you could feel more agitated than usual. If this is the case, do some deep breathing, or chill out in some way that you know works for you.

Your mind is speeded up now, and can be very alive to ideas and inventions. A great deal depends upon how procedure driven or free spirited you are. The former 'will' attracts disruption, the latter attracts innovation. Another interesting aspect of this influence is that you either find yourself stuck for words, losing your thread while speaking, or, you can be very intuitive and outspoken. Then again, you may find yourself speaking out of turn, or saying something inappropriate. Everything depends upon how informed you are regarding a given subject. Machines, especially computers, could play up now.

Wednesday 17th September

Love And Goodwill - Fun And Generosity - Joie De Vivre - Lady Luck

Transiting Venus Conjuncts your natal Jupiter from 17th to 19th September 2025. Exact 19th September

Depending on your usual propensity for good fortune or giving/having a good time, this influence will provide you with a strong sense and/or experience of what is enjoyable about life. Taking in anything that enlivens or entertains is very propitious now - whether you are in an active or passive role. You have a lust for life at present - but watch your pocket or appetite, unless you are quite prepared to say it was worth the price, no matter what.

Any activity that requires you to put out a good or generous vibe is best booked for now. You are luckier than at other times - but bear in mind that gambling can have an agenda all of its own so paradoxically, do not bet on it! It is better by far to see and experience this influence as a gift from the gods - but on the gods' terms. This means to say that there is something good in the air, but do not presume on it being 'good' in precisely the way you think you want it to mean. It is really an opportunity to find out what 'good' actually means.

Also on Wednesday

Going With The Flow - Attuned To Spirit - Creativity and Entertainment

Transiting Sun Sextiles your natal Neptune from 17th to 20th September 2025. Exact 19th September

This is a fine, subtle influence, which you could miss unless you are alive to the unseen, mystical or imaginative elements of life and your personality. Any kind of creative or spiritual pursuit - either active or passive - is propitious under this planetary effect. You are more attuned to subtle and emotional vibrations than usual, and possibly sense that struggling with issues only prolongs or complicates them. An enjoyable time listening to, or playing music, communing with Nature, or any activity involving the sea, are some of the possibilities right now.

Thursday 18th September

Attractive Presentation - Working To Please - Social Investments

Transiting Venus Sextiles your natal Ascendant from 18th to 21st September 2025. Exact 20th September

This is an excellent time to be seen in your best light. Making presentations, performing, making a play for someone or something, even going down on bended knee - these are all highlighted under this influence. Generally, others are glad to have you around, and the feeling will probably be mutual.

Also on Thursday

Highlighting Uniqueness and Individuality - Expect the Unexpected

Transiting Sun Conjuncts your natal Uranus from 18th to 21st September 2025. Exact 20th September

How you experience this influence has everything to do with how in touch you are with what is special about life in general and yourself in particular. If you have allowed your life to become too routine and predictable, then something (or someone) could appear on the scene to give you a shock or a jolt, or at least remind you that the world is a wild and extraordinary place. Alternatively, you could be the one to shock others by revealing what is rebellious or highly original about you. Why not make this a date with the unexpected by doing something you'd never normally do? Then, with the element of surprise on your side, there's no telling what new ideas or vistas could open up in front of you!

Also on Thursday

Acting with Conviction - Fortunate Moves - Exhorting Others

Transiting Mars Sextiles your natal Jupiter from 18th to 22nd September 2025. Exact 21st September

You can get a lot done during this period, and encourage others to greater effort and achievement too. All physical activities, particularly sports, can be happily embarked upon. You feel surer than usual, and so it's a good time to further your objectives. Planning and decision-making are also well-starred because you have a greater than normal sense of all the elements that are in play.

Sunday 21st September

Taking the Initiative - Arousing Opposition

Transiting Mars Conjuncts your natal Ascendant from 21st to 25th September 2025. Exact 24th September

Hot!

Be aware that your will to assert yourself is currently to the fore. If you are not aware of this, then don't be surprised when someone bursts upon the scene to do battle with you. This is because there is something that you have done, or are doing, or should have done, that is drawing your attention in no uncertain terms. Any anger or conflict in the air will demand that it be dealt with and expressed in an appropriate manner - which means getting to the cause of the anger. Standing up for you is important now, but avoid over-reacting, because this could be damaging. Other, more physical, negative effects would be accidents, headaches or fevers. The ideal expression of the energy of this period is to assert you in a clear, courageous and straightforward way.

Tuesday 23th September

Forceful Words and Thinking - Count To Ten - Getting a Lot Done

Transiting Mercury Opposes your natal Mars from 23rd to 25th September 2025. Exact 24th September

It's as if everything has bells on now, and the slightest wrong word or movement sets them jangling. There's a danger of speaking out of turn, or of saying something you later come to regret, so try to think before speaking - or acting, for that matter. You may feel justified in getting heated over a certain issue, but there is a strong possibility that, ultimately, the only satisfaction you'll get is from merely feeling justified. Your 'opponent' if so disposed, could make you eat your words at a later date, or you may not have a 'later date' to say anything at all; justifiable or otherwise.

At this time it pays to look at what it is in you that causes you to feel ineffectual (or overlooked) in any way. This will not only supply you with useful information which you can then do something constructive about, but it would prevent you having a run in with someone, or something, (like a car or sharp object) that has nothing to do with it - other than the fact that they trigger your anger and frustration born of a complex about self-assertion and getting what you want in life.

Also on Tuesday

Need To Classify Thinking - Heavy Thoughts - Officialdom

Transiting Mercury Opposes your natal Saturn from 23rd to 25th September 2025. Exact 24th September

This is when you can (or have to) get down to some serious thinking or work. Failure to do what needs doing can give rise to depression, or pressure from someone or something that has authority over you. Basically, your mind now turns to whatever is your responsibility. Whether or not you are alive to what that is and knuckle down to it, makes the difference between this being a heavy, or efficient time.

It is definitely not a time for woolly thinking and escapism, because you could put yourself in line for some kind of bad reaction or payback, either now or later on. This is not supposed to be a 'fun' time, so don't frustrate or exhaust yourself trying to make out that it is. It's a time for work and effort, so you will feel far better (and lighter) as a result of simply doing what has to be done - or what you have been putting off.

Wednesday 24th September

Home and Business Connections - Knowing Your Pitch

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal MidHeaven from 24th to 26th September 2025. Exact 25th September

You now see clearly how your home and working life are dependent upon each other, and are able to balance your interests and investments in these respects. Getting private and professional figures and concerns to co-operate comes easier now. You see the whole picture and can manage 'you and yours' more efficiently.

Thursday 25th September

Loving Words - Artistic Expression - The Art of Diplomacy

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Venus from 25th to 27th September 2025. Exact 26th September

You know what pleases now - be it for yourself or someone else. At the same time, you know what doesn't please! All this gives you a good sense of what appeals or sells, so this is an excellent time for putting together anything that you want to go down well. Art, public relations, discussion, performing, charm and amusement - these are some of the things the positive expression, or experience, of which are at your fingertips right now. If you wish to make known what's on your mind in an appreciable or agreeable way - do it now.

Saturday 27th September

Flow of Communication - Working and Thinking Well - Connected

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Mercury from 27th to 29th September 2025. Exact 28th September

All Mercurial activities, such as mental or manual work, studying, communications, travel, contact making, etc., are highlighted now. You're generally on good form intellectually, and seem to pick the right moment to make that call, the right way to say something, and to put your finger on the easiest solution. Co-operative ventures and interactions with those who live nearby (or siblings) are also well starred.

Also on Saturday

Love At Odds With Life - Love Life Laid Bare - Lovers' Tiffs

Transiting Venus Opposes your natal Sun from 27th to 30th September 2025. Exact 29th September

You can now have the classic Venusian experience of, or opportunity for love, romance, beauty, value or anything else that makes life worth living. It is also a good time to go out or get down to finding such things. On the other hand, what happens is that the level and quality of romantic or social involvement in your life is now apparent and intensified.

The effect can therefore be anything from having a really good time to feeling in need of having a good time, from looking good to feeling how uphill it is trying to look good, from experiencing love and life as sweet and fulfilling to feeling that everything is superficial and of little value. A purchase can be just what you wanted, or turn out later to be an indulgent waste of money.

In the end, Venus is about finding love, beauty and value in whatever circumstances you are in, and not fretting after something that is missing or wanting. Stop wanting and start having; stop craving and start giving. And beauty is only skin deep if that is only as far as you look!

Forecast for October 2025

Wednesday 1st October

Logic Versus Feelings - Gossip and Trivia

Transiting Mercury Opposes your natal Moon from 1st to 3rd October 2025. Exact 2nd October

Time could be wasted with gossiping and small talk - but then again, it might be this very thing that makes you feel in tune with your immediate environment. You are more mentally in touch with your feelings at this time, so you may learn a lot on this front, as well as making it clear to others how you feel and, conversely, receiving from them how they feel. Saying too much could be something to watch out for, as too would be getting into a confrontation with somebody who lives close by, a colleague or family member. Then again, it could be precisely such a confrontation that makes you more aware of your own and another's feelings, generally speaking or with regard to some specific matter.

Thursday 2nd October

Highlighting Personal Drive, Sex Life, Courage and Decisiveness

Transiting Sun Opposes your natal Mars from 2nd to 5th October 2025. Exact 4th October

Hot!

Mars is symbolic of that force within and around you which makes it possible to go for, and get something or someone; it also represents the urge and the right to do so. How good, bad or indifferent you are when it comes to expressing your Mars qualities is currently an issue. Being active, independent, forthright or bold now, is a sign that you know what you are after, and how and when to act. Experiencing anger, abusiveness or excessive use of force (either in yourself or another), would be a sign that you need to look at what you yourself are angry about, at what you want, and at what you must do in order to obtain it, or so that you no longer want it.

Also on Thursday

Highlighting Status and Responsibilities, Caution and Doubts

Transiting Sun Opposes your natal Saturn from 2nd to 5th October 2025. Exact 4th October

This period doesn't exactly find you in a party mood, but it does put you in a sober frame of mind that should enable you to get down to identifying what is (and what is not) required of you, and what is blocking your progress or view. The main trouble is that the pressure will be upon you to do just this. It is attempting to duck your responsibilities that would give you a hard time. Equally though, the thanklessness of tasks done out of a blind sense of duty, or born of fear, also shows up now. Even though this period lasts only a few days, time passes slowly, so use it to reflect coolly and carefully upon your position in life, without feeling panicky or depressed about it. Notwithstanding what else is indicated at present, the time to act comes later, after having made your purpose and obligation clearer.

Friday 3rd October

Career Advances or Opportunities - Managing Home and Business

Transiting Sun Sextiles your natal MidHeaven from 3rd to 6th October 2025. Exact 5th October

At this time you feel more able to see a balance or connection between who you are in public and who you are in private. Examples of this could be bringing a colleague home, or introducing a family member to the way you work. Also, if you have been paying too much attention to one area and not enough to the other, you can now see how to accomplish this, and begin to do so.

Saturday 4th October

Seeing the Whole - Getting a Plan - Philosophical Thinking

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Jupiter from 4th to 6th October 2025. Exact 6th October

Preparation and furtherance are the allies available to you at present. Having all the facts at your fingertips, seeing how the general fits in with the particular, linking the local to the global, the everyday to the profound - perceptions like these now come more easily to you, allowing you to put forward, create or resolve whatever issues are in front of you. Whether it is finding the meaning of things, or translating one thing into another, your deductive mind and intuitive mind are now working in concert. Now is the time when you can accurately get the picture; or be put in it.

Sunday 5th October

Deep or Obsessive Love - Powerful Attraction - Sexual Pleasure

Transiting Venus Conjuncts your natal Pluto from 5th to 8th October 2025. Exact 7th October

You find you feel deeply for someone or something, or that you want to, or that you cannot get someone or something out of your system. In any event, you are experiencing the depth and power of love or attraction - and what you do with it is down to your deepest values. Such a feeling can actually turn up as someone who you feel strongly drawn to. It may or may not be mutual, it all depends upon that deeper state of your emotional being - is it attracting or repelling.

There is a 'Beauty and the Beast' quality to this influence, in that you could experience one or both of these extremes, with someone else on the other end, so to speak. The gulf between what is regarded as appealing and presentable as against what usually has to hide its face, feel anti-social, is a possibility now.

The trick is to go deep but not too deep, to appreciate face values, but not regard them as the entire picture. Be on guard against being manipulated - value yourself above all else - or of manipulating someone yourself, because you would only entrench yourself or get more than you bargained for. Possessiveness and jealousy can rear their heads now, which has something to do with being more in touch with what does and does not constitute genuine love.

Also on Sunday

On The Ball - Getting Around Locally and/or Mentally

Transiting Mercury Conjuncts your natal Ascendant from 5th to 8th October 2025. Exact 7th October

Life is interesting and busy at this time. Useful contacts, stimulating people and subjects cross your path. If you have to look anyone or anything up, you're more likely than usual to make the right connections, possess good timing. You could also receive a significant communication, or even the one you have been waiting for, especially if there are other activities occurring that indicate positive events.

Also on Sunday

Being In Tune - Social Harmony - Making The Peace

Transiting Sun Trines your natal Venus from 5th to 8th October 2025. Exact 7th October

Things are promising socially right now, and if there is a love interest, then you can be fairly sure that, if things are going to go your way at all, they will do so now. Making amends, launching any social event, being artistically creative or entertained - these are all liable to go with a swing at this time.

Wednesday 8th October

Working Well - Being On The Case - Making Contacts and Connections

Transiting Sun Trines your natal Mercury from 8th to 11th October 2025. Exact 10th October

You work and communicate well now, and are generally on the ball with respect to any matters that relate to the daily business of living. You also have a better sense of the pros and cons of how you normally go about such things, giving you the opportunity to correct poor attitudes or methods, and to make the most of, or improve upon, the good ones.

Also on Wednesday

Forcefulness with Ease - The Door Opener - A Winning Way

Transiting Mars Trines your natal Sun from 8th to 12th October 2025. Exact 10th October

You are able to approach and execute matters as well as possible now, either in relation to your usual ability to act decisively - or considering the situation that you are currently dealing with. In other words, you are now most likely to know what you want, and how to go about getting it. More to the point, however, you are most likely to assert yourself owing to an instinctive sense of sureness that attracts success and confidence, rather than to being impatient and pushy, which would attract the opposite.

Also on Wednesday

An Urge to Achieve - Possible Conflicts with Authority

Transiting Mars Squares your natal MidHeaven from 8th to 12th October 2025. Exact 11th October

You have the energy and the will to further yourself professionally now. Much depends upon how you go about expressing your desire to get what you want. If you ride roughshod over anyone at present, be prepared to get back as good as you've given. It is better by far to clearly identify your targets, and devise a strategy to meet them that impresses those above you, or those who work for/with you. You'll then be set to win, rather than attracting a troublesome opponent. And all the above also applies to current goings on in your home.

Thursday 9th October

Love Dreams - Pleasing Fantasies - Artistic Inspiration

Transiting Venus Sextiles your natal Neptune from 9th to 11th October 2025. Exact 11th October

Any feelings or ideas regarding love, sex, music or art - or social life generally - are now nicely attuned to your ideals and visions of a better life. None of this is particularly dynamic, but this gentle, almost 'hippie' type, influence can be very enjoyable. This is a good time to put aside for any pursuit or pastime that comes into these categories.

Friday 10th October

The Electricity Of Love - Unusual Attractions - Unexpected Pleasure

Transiting Venus Conjuncts your natal Uranus from 10th to 12th October 2025. Exact 12th October

Whatever is out of the ordinary regarding sexual, social, creative or romantic involvements can appear out of the blue now. By the very nature of this influence it is hard to say what will happen. For the same reason it is best not to put too much store by whatever does, because it will most probably be a flash-in-the-pan kind of occurrence. Experimental, shocking or odd - whatever happens now can be anything from extremely exciting to somehow detached - or both even.

This influence can trigger the start of an exciting relationship, but it does not predict which way it will go, because the only assurance as far as Uranus is concerned is that you can expect the unexpected; so be ready to be woken up to something new. Significant coincidences can happen now, trying to tell you something about how love and life tick. Sudden attractions and/or breaks in relationships can also occur.

Saturday 11th October

Physical Attraction - Beauty in Action - Love/Sex Balance

Transiting Mars Squares your natal Venus from 11th to 14th October 2025. Exact 13th October

Hot!

You now experience a sharpening of your sense of what does, or does not, please. This is most likely to occur in the realm of personal relationships, with you feeling the need for a physical show of love. This in turn could find you attracting (or being attracted to) someone, or feeling frustrated at no-one being available. If you have an ongoing intimate relationship, this would be a time for the erotic. In any event, you may have to find the right balance between making love and having sex, between courtship and seduction, tenderness and desire. Also at this time, any art forms that involve movement - like drama, dance, live music, etc - are highlighted or intensified.

Monday 13th October

Easy Communication - Getting Work Done

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Sun from 13th to 15th October 2025. Exact 15th October

You feel 'wired in' to what's most important to you now, so it's a good time for seeing to jobs in hand, saying what has to be said, and generally setting to work on affairs. You are more able to co-ordinate your efforts and deliberations with those of other people at this time, so coming to agreements, and getting good work done on a co-operative basis, are strongly highlighted. Travel arrangements and making connections are far more likely to go smoothly too.

Also on Monday

Bad Connections at Home or at Work

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal MidHeaven from 13th to 16th October 2025. Exact 15th October

Your private and public lives tend to get in the way of one another at this time. Try to create a balance here, and avoid feeling frustrated if nothing seems to gel or if things become unstuck, because this influence is brief as a rule.

Wednesday 15th October

Not Saying or Seeing It Right - The Need for Diplomacy

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Venus from 15th to 17th October 2025. Exact 16th October

This is a time when logical thought is at odds with the emotional, or aesthetic, side of life. Not seeing eye-to-eye with a member of the opposite sex is highly likely, because one of you wants to make sense of things, while the other wants to feel right about something. One of you might want to talk, while the other wants to experience affection or sensual pleasure. None of this poses a big problem - unless you let it - because this is just a passing phase, a time when you are out of 'sync' with whoever is close to you.

It's also a time when work issues can get in the way of personal ones, or vice versa, so avoid mixing business with pleasure. If you already have been doing so, then this could prove an awkward time for you. Sorting out love problems is quite likely, and desirable too. But be wary of the above described inclination to speak in different 'languages' to one another. Try to meet each other half way - it's the only way at present.

Also on Wednesday

Feeling Split - Emotional Awareness - Facing the Facts

Transiting Sun Opposes your natal Moon from 15th to 18th October 2025. Exact 17th October

You could find yourself in two minds about a certain issue. Such could, in turn, give rise to discontent and conflict of purpose. You may find yourself in disputes with family members, or be feeling generally at odds with the world around you. Succumbing to such negative feelings would, however, be missing the point as this influence offers you the opportunity to see the emotional score, to be less subjective, read the writing on the wall and obey what it says. You can sort out problems as long as you are emotionally honest enough to accept that which is your responsibility and that which is someone else's - because this is now being made clear.

Also on Wednesday

Argument or Hot Debate - Nervous Excitement or Exhaustion

Transiting Mars Squares your natal Mercury from 15th to 19th October 2025. Exact 18th October

Hot!

If it's going to be said at all, it's going to be said now - with some force. This, in turn, will help make decisions concerning issues that have been hanging in the balance. If you still manage to sit on the fence, expect to get pushed off. In other words, keeping a lid on it will attract tension release in some other area - like speeding in your car, acute irritability, or physical weak spots playing up. Now is the time when you can, or have to, really get your mental teeth into an issue - or it will get its teeth into you!

Friday 17th October

Disagreement - Nervous Energy - The Devil Makes Work For Idle Hands

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Mercury from 17th to 19th October 2025. Exact 19th October

Irritation, a lack of relevance, bad communication, work setbacks, inappropriate thinking - these are some of the things that could dog you at present. To avoid such frustrations, or simply feeling at a loose end, find an optimum environment for getting down to what has to be done. This could well mean working on your own somewhere, or keeping intrusions down to a minimum in some other way.

All forms of communication could become a nuisance, or be unreliable, with the proverbial wires getting crossed. Again, seek to lessen difficulties by avoiding having to make important decisions dependent upon making a specific contact or travel connection. Look for a more suitable time for such activities.

Monday 20th October

Sleuthing It - Powerful Words and Thoughts - Deep Study

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Pluto from 20th to 23rd October 2025. Exact 22nd October

If you have a job to do that requires your undivided attention; do it now. Not only is your mind on relatively good form, and can work into the night, you are also in the frame of mind where you can repel any interference powerfully, even ruthlessly, if need be. You know that you have to see whatever it is through, no matter what.

Also on Monday

Positive Thinking - Knowing The Plan - Goodwill - Luck

Transiting Sun Sextiles your natal Jupiter from 20th to 23rd October 2025. Exact 22nd October

You are in a good frame of mind now as you're in touch with the better sides of your life and personality. It's as if you can see how you fit in with the greater whole; you feel that everything is for the best, and you have some sense of how things will pan out alright. So, with anything that is particularly oiled by having Lady Luck on your side, now is a good time to go for it - notwithstanding other influences to the contrary. You are also quite likely to encounter positive and encouraging people at this time.

Tuesday 21st October

Love At Odds With Sex - Attracting and/or Attracted

Transiting Venus Opposes your natal Mars from 21st to 23rd October 2025. Exact 22nd October

You are very much in the mood for sexual and/or romantic experience, or simply to feel socially alive. Depending upon your temperament and availability, such an experience, or at least the opportunity for it, could arise right now, or, it would be a good time to plan for such an occasion, or, failing all of these, it could be a time of frustration if these matters have been put on the backburner.

Then again, out of the blue could come an experience that kind of pleasurably highlights the current state of affairs in your love/sex/social life - even precipitating you into an affair or relationship. All in all though, this has the potential to be an enjoyable and exciting time - but be wary of your own shortcomings with respect to these areas being exposed. Attractive, artistic or simply likeable people appear on the scene to sweeten your life - or you could be the one being this for someone else.

Also on Tuesday

Love And Duty - Serious Attachments - The Importance Of Commitment

Transiting Venus Opposes your natal Saturn from 21st to 23rd October 2025. Exact 22nd October

You experience the serious or very real side of love and social involvement now. This is not a time for having fun and letting your hair down, so do not plan for this or get frustrated trying to make it so. More than likely your partner, or people in general, will come across as sober and responsible now - or in need of such qualities. If you are not with anyone, you can feel more alone than usual, or, if you are prepared to take a serious rather than cynical look, you can get the measure of why you are unattached.

If this is truly not an issue under this influence, then you can probably congratulate yourself on being genuinely self-sufficient. By and large though, this period is inclined to show up the warts and weaknesses in your love and social life, including the pressure to do something about it. In any event, this means being emotionally mature and responsible and doing what has to done, even though it is difficult. In time, such commitment will prove to be well worth it. On a financial level, you may well have to read the writing on the wall here instead, or as well, getting real about money being the call of the day.

Also on Tuesday

Initiating Profound Changes - A Healthy Sense of Power

Transiting Mars Sextiles your natal Pluto from 21st to 25th October 2025. Exact 23rd October

Whatever you feel strongly about in a far-reaching way, can be successfully set in motion now. You may not see the results of this straightaway, but you would sense a sort of 'point of destiny' as you did so. Even if you are not aware of any such burning issue, this is a time when you should feel a certain power in the air. This could take the form of being in the presence of a powerful personality, or a waterfall, or some other impressive phenomenon. In any event, you presently have the ability to impress or be impressed.

Wednesday 22nd October

Charity Begins At Home - Domestic Harmony - Loving Family

Transiting Venus Sextiles your natal MidHeaven from 22nd to 25th October 2025. Exact 24th October

This is a mild influence that should help you to use your skills to blend your working and private life, to get one to serve the other. Any artistic or creative flair or project can now gain support from both official and personal spheres.

Also on Wednesday

Highlighting Presentation - Putting Yourself Across Well

Transiting Sun Conjuncts your natal Ascendant from 22nd to 25th October 2025. Exact 24th October

It's as if you now have some natural spotlight shining upon you - or you yourself are the spotlight for others, illuminating that which needs clarifying or affirming. Any event that needs to look good or go off well can be arranged now - providing you know that your birth time is absolutely accurate, because any influence to your Ascendant (or Midheaven) depends upon this being the case. In fact, if you feel this spotlight at some time near but not during this time, this would be an opportunity to rectify your birth time; so see an astrologer if this is the case.

Thursday 23th October

Pleasure Plus - Love Life Enhanced - Spending Sprees - Generosity

Transiting Venus Trines your natal Venus from 23rd to 26th October 2025. Exact 25th October

Pleasure and harmony are the hallmarks of this time, but so too is indulgence, so watch your pocket and appetite! Be that as it may, Venus says that, at times, you just must enjoy yourself and not count the cost. The value of having a good time is priceless, and this influence has that very potential. Your love life can also receive a boost now, be it the start of something big, a rekindled romance, or simply an enjoyable evening or two with one (or ones) that are important to you.

Friday 24th October

The Inspired or Confused Mind - Mystical or Psychic Attunement

Transiting Mercury Conjuncts your natal Neptune from 24th to 27th October 2025. Exact 26th October

If you've been after an answer or inspiration from out of the ether, then this is the time you are very likely to receive it. This doesn't mean to say that it will come whatever you're doing. It may, but it would be better to be focused upon the issue of your concern, then - magic! Furthermore, not doing anything of a creative, therapeutic or entertaining nature at this time is possibly asking to attract absent-mindedness or strange, even paranoid, ideas. Any experience involving the natural or spirit world is good 'medicine' right now - it may even come to you unbidden.

Saturday 25th October

Synchronicity - Being In The Know - Unusual Connections

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Uranus from 25th to 28th October 2025. Exact 27th October

Being mentally in tune with new ideas, methods and technology is the advantage that this influence offers you. It's as if you can intuitively put your finger on whatever (or whomever) you need to make contact with. This is quite simply a time when you are on good mental and verbal form - so earmark it for those tasks and appointments that require such mental acuity.

Sunday 26th October

Loving Thoughts - Sweet Words - Artistic Perception

Transiting Venus Trines your natal Mercury from 26th to 28th October 2025. Exact 28th October

The poet, writer, artist or diplomat is now strong in you, so with any situation that requires a way with words, you're the one for the job! People or things that please and interest you are now likely to appear on the scene, so gatherings and shopping trips are propitious - notwithstanding, as usual, any contrary planetary influences possibly active at this time.

Also on Sunday

Saying Too Much - Not Seeing the Forest for the Trees

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Jupiter from 26th to 29th October 2025. Exact 28th October

You are now put in touch with all you need to know. However, this can be a double-edged weapon, because on the one hand it could find you able to manage various items or activities into an effective whole, or, on the other hand, find you confused as ideas and conflicting considerations flood your mind, giving rise to a 'brain jam'. Marshalling your thoughts is therefore both the issue and the opportunity at present. Ultimately, you're gaining some kind of understanding now, be it about something specific or something general.

Out of this, a philosophical overview can be arrived at, thereby accommodating anything that is presently going on in your life. Another possible expression is thinking, speaking and/or acting out of a sense of opinion rather than a firm fact. Such succumbing to generalities posing as the truth could set you up for embarrassment or a lot of wasted time, or both, as you bluff and exaggerate your way into, or out of, something. So, get the facts straight - that is, of course, unless you're quite happy to pontificate. Dealing with foreign matters (or people) could also be an issue now - again, worthy of detailed consideration.

Tuesday 28th October

Stimulating Sensitivity - Acting Compassionately or Unwisely

Transiting Mars Conjuncts your natal Neptune from 28th October 2025 to 1st November 2025. Exact 30th October

Deceptive!

This could be a low energy phase for you when the harsher elements of the outside world, bethey in the form of anything from insensitive people to a virus, can get the better of you. You may feel strange and out of step - sexual frustration is likely too. 'Sod's Law' prevails, so count to ten, think three times, and be on your guard against being taken advantage of. So be gentle with yourself and others, keep to the line of least resistance, and let any possibly disheartening influence wash over you, because it shouldn't last long. By the same token though, this also gives you the opportunity to identify what your soft or blind spots are. In any event, be as honest and straightforward as you can, because any deceitfulness on your part that stems from the past could surface all too easily at present. The best prescription for handling this rather peculiar period is to use your energies in a helpful, selfless or inspiring manner.

Thursday 30th October

Acting Intuitively - Refreshing Influences - Who Dares Wins

Transiting Mars Sextiles your natal Uranus from 30th October 2025 to 2nd November 2025. Exact 1st November

This is an excellent time for 'unusual acts' - like doing something that you wouldn't normally do for fear of rocking the boat, embarrassment, etc. The effect of such an act can be astounding, because in time it may be seen that such intuitive spontaneity has opened up a pathway into the future that could not have happened otherwise. So, you are now more likely to act on a whim, or take more of a risk, than you would as a rule.

Friday 31st October

Emotional Discomfort - Discord with/between Females - Let It Be

Transiting Venus Opposes your natal Moon from 31st October 2025 to 2nd November 2025. Exact 2nd November

This need not necessarily be a difficult time - it can in fact turn out to be quite pleasurable. However, there is an inclination for social and domestic needs to get in the way of one another. This can also include disharmony on the home front, conflict between mother and lover, or being too accommodating and having to pay the price. Inherent in all this though, is a need for peace, so that upsets are usually righted quite soon afterwards. Feelings and values may clash, but the requirements of security and harmony eventually hold sway.

Forecast for November 2025

Saturday 1st November

Stimulating or Attacking Beliefs - Exuberance - Over-Confidence

Transiting Mars Squares your natal Jupiter from 1st to 5th November 2025. Exact 3rd November

Hot!

You should feel quite robust while this period lasts; but this can mean anything from your being a tower of strength that inspires others with your faith and optimism, to your blowing a fuse as a result of excessive activity or expectations. What this period basically supplies you with is enough conviction to get things going or state your case. But once this has been achieved, you should then adopt a more modest style, thereby ensuring further success, and avoiding an over-stretching of your resources, or colliding with a greater force.

Sunday 2nd November

Smooth Running - Opening Doors - No Worries

Transiting Sun Trines your natal Sun from 2nd to 5th November 2025. Exact 4th November

You are 'in sync' with life today - at least, in the context of whatever else is going on for you astrologically at this time. So now is when you can gain co-operation from others, and be generally in tune and in gear. You could also receive assistance from someone; someone who possibly has power or authority.

Monday 3rd November

Private Life/Public Life Balance - Parental Conflicts

Transiting Sun Squares your natal MidHeaven from 3rd to 6th November 2025. Exact 5th November

Try and meet both personal and business obligations equally, even though everything will be coming at you from all sides. This only lasts a few days, so don't over-react to difficulties and thereby make things as bad as they momentarily appear to be.

Tuesday 4th November

Love And Goodwill - Fun And Generosity - Joie De Vivre - Lady Luck

Transiting Venus Sextiles your natal Jupiter from 4th to 7th November 2025. Exact 6th November

Depending on your usual propensity for good fortune or giving/having a good time, this influence will provide you with a strong sense and/or experience of what is enjoyable about life. Taking in anything that enlivens or entertains is very propitious now - whether you are in an active or passive role. You have a lust for life at present - but watch your pocket or appetite, unless you are quite prepared to say it was worth the price, no matter what.

Any activity that requires you to put out a good or generous vibe is best booked for now. You are luckier than at other times - but bear in mind that gambling can have an agenda all of its own so paradoxically, do not bet on it! It is better by far to see and experience this influence as a gift from the gods - but on the gods' terms. This means to say that there is something good in the air, but do not presume on it being 'good' in precisely the way you think you want it to mean. It is really an opportunity to find out what 'good' actually means.

Also on Tuesday

Highlighting Love Life, Pleasure, Material and Social Values

Transiting Sun Squares your natal Venus from 4th to 7th November 2025. Exact 6th November

What shows now is the 'state of the art'. In other words, whatever you are doing, or not doing, with regard to filling your own and others' lives with some love and beauty is brought to your attention. So such areas as relationships, arts and crafts, social activities, buying and spending, or things that add a sweetness to life are presently to the fore. Positively, this can take the form of generosity, a love encounter, a party, a general sense of happiness, or anything that helps to make life attractive and more worth living. Negatively, finding yourself being mean, lonely, indulgent, excessive, vain or superficial would point to the fact that a genuine sense of worth, and the ability to give or receive love, is somewhat lacking in your life.

Thursday 6th November

Love In The Air - Attractive Presentation - Social Pleasures

Transiting Venus Conjuncts your natal Ascendant from 6th to 8th November 2025. Exact 7th November

You have a friendly, attractive aura now. So whatever it is you wish to attract, win over or simply make feel good, now is the time! You may well notice this by having someone attractive come your way. Venus being Venus however, there is no guarantee as to whether such an encounter is the real thing or just a tease. It all depends what you yourself are prone to right now. Make sure you are aware of your own worth and talent now, and do not lose yourself in someone else's apparent charms.

Friday 7th November

State of Mind - Stimulating Interests - Highlighting Anxieties

Transiting Sun Squares your natal Mercury from 7th to 10th November 2025. Exact 9th November

Life's spotlight is focused upon the way you think and perceive things now. So, this can mean many things, depending upon what you have currently been doing with your mental faculties, or to your nervous system. Studying, planning, reading, short distance travel, making conversation, arguing the point, gossiping, worrying, or just plain thinking - these are some examples of Mercurial activities that are presently being intensified. This means that more energy is available to you for putting into one or more of these situations, or that you should learn to slow down, trust, think and talk a little less, and listen and feel more.

Tuesday 11th November

Repairs and Regeneration - Getting to the Bottom of It

Transiting Sun Sextiles your natal Pluto from 11th to 14th November 2025. Exact 13th November

This is a good time to start any regimen, to turn things around, to eliminate anything that has been bothering you, or simply to put what's wrong right. You feel a power coursing through you, but it is a gentle and sure power - not one that is insisting you express it no matter what. Your powers of concentration, and your stamina - be it physical, mental or emotional - are stronger than usual, so any demanding activity is better pursued at this time.

Saturday 15th November

Pleasant Living - Creative Awareness - Happy Day - Love Life Issues

Transiting Venus Trines your natal Sun from 15th to 17th November 2025. Exact 16th November

You should be on good terms with the world around now, and particularly with those who are close to you. If there have been any emotional disturbances of late, then this offers an opportunity to patch up and make up. Also, if you want to go and find a certain consumer item, then you are more likely to find just what you want right now. Artistic expression and appreciation is also highlighted - so get thee to a studio, instrument, keyboard or gallery, etc.

Also on Saturday

Home/Work Conflicts - Spread A Little Happiness

Transiting Venus Squares your natal MidHeaven from 15th to 18th November 2025. Exact 17th November

Love and social life are now inclined to get in the way of your professional or domestic concerns. A case of business and pleasure not mixing, you could say. This could just be a passing thing, or then again, it could be something more weighty and important making itself felt. Being diplomatic and as pleasant as possible to whoever you have dealings with is the best course now.

Sunday 16th November

Spending Too Much - Spending Too Little - Indulgence or Pleasure?

Transiting Venus Squares your natal Venus from 16th to 19th November 2025. Exact 18th November

This is not really a problem except that you are inclined to overdo it - or conversely, not push the boat out enough. It all depends on what place you give to love and pleasure in your life. If you are naturally generous, affectionate or fun loving, then this time will probably be enjoyable for you - although you might have a hangover or blown budget to contend with afterwards!

If you usually have a hard time giving of yourself and being socially satisfied, this influence is trying to show you why, and how you could remedy such a dilemma. The secret is generosity - on any or all levels - to be aware that another's happiness is ultimately your own too. Without tuning into Venus in a positive way, you can simply feel more anti-social, unattractive, or worthless.

Also on Sunday

Highlighting Sensitivity - Idealism/Escapism - Compassion/Weaknesses

Transiting Sun Conjuncts your natal Neptune from 16th to 19th November 2025. Exact 18th November

What is brought to light now is something that has been happening outside of your conscious awareness, or has been kept out of sight. Obviously this can mean any number of things, for example: finding out something that's been going on behind your back, or discovering a mysterious dimension of reality you only ever dreamt of; becoming conscious of the fact that you identify more closely with certain others and their hopes and fears, or weak spots being exposed in yourself or others. In any event, it is important that you keep a firm grip on reality, yet, at the same time, remain open to fact or notion that we are all mysteriously united in some way. Generally speaking, your ego is less resilient than usual, so take a back seat and watch life's picture show if you don't feel up to starring in it. Also, be extra careful with drink or drugs because highs and lows are presently very interchangeable.

Monday 17th November

Retrograde

Saying Too Much - Not Seeing the Forest for the Trees

Transiting Mercury Retrograde Squares your natal Jupiter from 17th to 20th November 2025. Exact 19th November

You are now put in touch with all you need to know. However, this can be a double-edged weapon, because on the one hand it could find you able to manage various items or activities into an effective whole, or, on the other hand, find you confused as ideas and conflicting considerations flood your mind, giving rise to a 'brain jam'. Marshalling your thoughts is therefore both the issue and the opportunity at present. Ultimately, you're gaining some kind of understanding now, be it about something specific or something general.

Also on Monday

Waking up to The Truth - Light upon The Future - The New and Unusual

Transiting Sun Sextiles your natal Uranus from 17th to 20th November 2025. Exact 19th November

Whatever else may be going on in your life, this influence helps you to see it as part of a greater pattern or long term process of development. You also gain insights into what is unique about yourself, and others too - and you begin to appreciate more what freedom actually means. Additionally, this is a good time to involve yourself with subjects that take a greater overview of life, like science and technology, astronomy, astrology, psychology, etc.

Also on Monday

Easy Self-Assertion - Stimulating Confidence - Winning Ways

Transiting Mars Trines your natal Mars from 17th to 21st November 2025. Exact 20th November

If you wish to start (or re-start) anything, then now is the time. Unless you have more inhibiting factors at present, you are able to impress both yourself and others with your 'get up and go'. And if you are normally somewhat reluctant to assert yourself, then know that Mars is giving you a green light to do so. The most constructive form of activity is physical, because you simply enjoy the fact that you have a body. All in all though, you can get a lot done now - be it work or play, physical or mental.

Also on Monday

Disciplined Activity - Concentrated Energy - Steady Work

Transiting Mars Trines your natal Saturn from 17th to 21st November 2025. Exact 20th November

This period is good for getting down to those tasks that require effort, but that are not very exciting. This is because you are now naturally inclined to plod on in an uncomplaining fashion, simply being satisfied in the knowledge that a necessary job is being well done. Painstaking work can be undertaken because you are not so easily interrupted or side-tracked.

Wednesday 19th November

Retrograde

Synchronicity - Being In The Know - Unusual Connections

Transiting Mercury Retrograde Sextiles your natal Uranus from 19th to 21st November 2025. Exact 20th November

Being mentally in tune with new ideas, methods and technology is the advantage that this influence offers you. It's as if you can intuitively put your finger on whatever (or whomever) you need to make contact with. This is quite simply a time when you are on good mental and verbal form - so earmark it for those tasks and appointments that require such mental acuity.

Also on Wednesday

Bad Buys - Indiscretion - Feelings At Odds With Words

Transiting Venus Squares your natal Mercury from 19th to 21st November 2025. Exact 21st November

Feelings and values are presently in conflict with how things are seen or communicated. This can give rise to misunderstandings, especially between loved ones. You should be careful not to let a molehill be turned into a mountain, because really this influence should only amount to a 'life and life only' type of irritation that has no real lasting effect.

However, if there is something bigger brewing beneath the surface, then this could bring it out in the open. But it is an ill wind that blows nobody any good, so with a bit of self control and a few well chosen, preferably loving, words, a gain rather than a loss could be on the cards. Apart from these more serious areas, be on your guard against impulse buys or retorts you later come to regret.

Also on Wednesday

Highlighting Expansiveness and Faith - A Sense of Greatness

Transiting Sun Squares your natal Jupiter from 19th to 22nd November 2025. Exact 21st November

Whatever it is that you are like normally, now you are more so! Essentially, you are experiencing an urge to grow beyond yourself, and to understand matters in a more comprehensive and philosophical way. So, if you do have something of this nature in mind, then now is the time to make it (begin to) happen. But what you allow yourself, and others, to do or be, has everything to do with your moral viewpoint, which is presently a vital issue. So for a more rewarding life, now and in the future, you would be wise to cultivate an optimistic and big hearted attitude, and to be mindful that biting off more than you can chew, or making empty promises, is a sure sign that you are pretending to be larger than life, rather than actually being as large as life.

Also on Wednesday

Stimulating or Challenging Your Ego - High Energy - Anger or Drive

Transiting Mars Squares your natal Sun from 19th to 23rd November 2025. Exact 21st November

Hot!

Finding a suitable and effective outlet for your energies is the main issue at present. This probably means expressing yourself physically as well as mentally. So, if there is something you have to do that needs a definite degree of forcefulness, then now is the time to go for it. But this is also a time when you can arouse or be aroused to anger or arrogance. This could be just right for clearing the air or making a breakthrough, but watch out for over-reactions, because they could lead to damage. This is a 'hot' period, and can set things off easily. It is up to you whether it is for good or ill.

Also on Wednesday

Taking the Initiative - Making Your Way Forwards and Upwards

Transiting Mars Trines your natal MidHeaven from 19th to 23rd November 2025. Exact 22nd November

Whatever needs doing that will help push things forward with regard to your job or profession, now is the time when you are more likely to find the energy to do so. Alternatively, or additionally, some individual could give you a push. Or, others might be looking to you for leadership, and this gives you the confidence to oblige them. Notwithstanding other inhibiting factors, the lights are now on green for 'go'.

Transiting Mercury Retrograde Conjuncts your natal Neptune from 20th to 22nd November 2025. Exact 21st November

If you've been after an answer or inspiration from out of the ether, then this is the time you are very likely to receive it. This doesn't mean to say that it will come whatever you're doing. It may, but it would be better to be focused upon the issue of your concern, then - magic! Furthermore, not doing anything of a creative, therapeutic or entertaining nature at this time is possibly asking to attract absent-mindedness or strange, even paranoid, ideas. Any experience involving the natural or spirit world is good 'medicine' right now - it may even come to you unbidden.

Saturday 22nd November

Loving Deeply - Genuine Attraction - Sexual Pleasure

Transiting Venus Sextiles your natal Pluto from 22nd to 25th November 2025. Exact 24th November

You are drawn to what is deep and dark - but probably without feeling controlled or compromised by such a feeling, such as can often be the case. If in a relationship, you now have the experience, or opportunity, of feeling in touch with the nucleus of what binds you together, yet in a way that is very right, fated even. This influence could possibly trigger the start of an important relationship, but there would probably have to be other, longer standing planetary effects to make it so.

Also on Saturday

Loving Sex - Ease of Expression - Party Time

Transiting Mars Sextiles your natal Venus from 22nd to 25th November 2025. Exact 24th November

This is a wonderful time for physically enjoying yourself. Your senses are more than usually responsive to stimulation, and others are also more responsive to your actions. You can now discover (or improve) your ability to 'hit the spot' - either in an intimate situation or in company. You are more attuned to striking a balance between getting and giving, and to the fact that mutual pleasure is pleasure indeed. Artistic pursuits are also highlighted during this period.

Monday 24th November

Sleuthing It - Powerful Words and Thoughts - Deep Study

Transiting Mercury Retrograde Sextiles your natal Pluto from 24th to 28th November 2025. Exact 26th November

If you have a job to do that requires your undivided attention; do it now. Not only is your mind on relatively good form, and can work into the night, you are also in the frame of mind where you can repel any interference powerfully, even ruthlessly, if need be. You know that you have to see whatever it is through, no matter what.

Wednesday 26th November

Love Dreams - Pleasing Fantasies - Artistic Inspiration

Transiting Venus Conjuncts your natal Neptune from 26th to 28th November 2025. Exact 28th November

The most romantic and ideal, but equally the most fanciful and illusory, experiences can come your way now. You are more inclined to fall in love or lust, or to be made a fool of, for that matter. A more reliable expression or use of this influence is to involve yourself with some creative work, have a special time out with someone you have genuine love feelings for, or simply take in a good movie.

A new relationship can arise under this influence - but remember that 'under the influence' can be all it amounts to unless you have at least one foot on the ground. Platonic involvements are quite likely - or they turn out to be! Be that as it may, this can promise to be a pleasurable, if rather heady, time. All of the above could equally just take place in your head. On a more mundane note, you could find just the item you were after, or thought you were! Very much a 'what's real?' type of time, so do not take anything at face value - be it exciting or depressing.

Also on Wednesday

Communicating with Conviction - Mental Stimulation

Transiting Mars Sextiles your natal Mercury from 26th to 30th November 2025. Exact 28th November

You may now put your point across to others in a direct and decisive way. Or conversely, you are now more than usually able to grasp a given issue. So this is a good time for studying, any kind of verbal interaction, or making your position clear. You are generally more dexterous and co-ordinated, so tasks or pursuits - like driving, sports, quizzes, etc - are well-starred at present.

Thursday 27th November

The Electricity Of Love - Unusual Attractions - Unexpected Pleasure

Transiting Venus Sextiles your natal Uranus from 27th to 29th November 2025. Exact 29th November

There is a sparkle to sexual, social or creative activities. A certain type of freeness pervades your involvements that can give rise to new forms of pleasure or expression, exciting contacts and new groups of people. This is a good time to get out and experiment with life and society to see what it has on offer. Gatherings go with a swing, people show their more original or quirky sides.

Friday 28th November

Overdoing It - Pleasure Versus Morality - Overspending

Transiting Venus Squares your natal Jupiter from 28th November 2025 to 1st December 2025. Exact 30th November

Depending on your usual propensity for good fortune or giving/having a good time, this influence will provide you with a strong sense and/or experience of what is enjoyable about life. Taking in anything that enlivens or entertains is very propitious now - whether you are in an active or passive role. You have a lust for life at present - but watch your pocket or appetite, unless you are quite prepared to say it was worth the price, no matter what.

You feel luckier than at other times - but that feeling will very likely prove thoroughly unreliable! Any kind of promise now, made by you or to you, could also prove hard to keep, so a bit of caution and a pinch of salt is required at present.

Saturday 29th November

Sleuthing It - Powerful Words and Thoughts - Deep Study

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Pluto from 29th November 2025 to 4th December 2025. Exact 3rd December

If you have a job to do that requires your undivided attention; do it now. Not only is your mind on relatively good form, and can work into the night, you are also in the frame of mind where you can repel any interference powerfully, even ruthlessly, if need be. You know that you have to see whatever it is through, no matter what.

Forecast for December 2025

Saturday 29th November

Sleuthing It - Powerful Words and Thoughts - Deep Study

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Pluto from 29th November 2025 to 4th December 2025. Exact 3rd December

If you have a job to do that requires your undivided attention; do it now. Not only is your mind on relatively good form, and can work into the night, you are also in the frame of mind where you can repel any interference powerfully, even ruthlessly, if need be. You know that you have to see whatever it is through, no matter what.

Monday 1st December

Getting Things Done - Healthy Self-Assertion - Feeling Fit

Transiting Sun Trines your natal Mars from 1st to 4th December 2025. Exact 3rd December

Getting down to things, opening doors, launching yourself with energy and enthusiasm, attaining the object of your desires - these are some of the advantages of this influence. In proportion to your usual powers of self-assertion, asserting yourself in any way is in tune with the general way of things at present.

Also on Monday

A Sense of Order - Highlighting Discipline and Economy

Transiting Sun Trines your natal Saturn from 1st to 4th December 2025. Exact 3rd December

You should be functioning well over these few days, so it's a good time to get more systematic, devise a plan, or even embark upon some important undertaking - assuming other indications are not inauspicious. You are, at present, more than usually inclined to get down to what needs doing without being, or feeling, distracted by issues that do not bear directly on the job in hand. You are now more disposed towards structure and efficiency than you are towards whims or sentimentality.

Tuesday 2nd December

Ego Conflicts - Me Versus The Rest - Cool It!

Transiting Sun Squares your natal Sun from 2nd to 5th December 2025. Exact 4th December

This is not a time to see eye to eye with others, because you are confrontation prone; whether you like it or not! You can use this affect to get a reading of how you, and another, or the world in general, squares up to you but, by and large, it is best during these few days either to take the line of least resistance, or to soldier on if needs must.

Also on Tuesday

Triggering Fate - Stimulating Powerful Urges

Transiting Mars Squares your natal Pluto from 2nd to 5th December 2025. Exact 4th December

Hot and Heavy!

This can spark off things that have a long-lasting effect, because you feel strongly about anything that is currently happening to you, and so you are liable to act upon it. For example, this could involve a sexual encounter that has a deep affect upon you, or an intense meeting or conflict with someone, or anything that really gets to you - possibly in an obsessive way. Your 'gun' is 'loaded' right now, so be careful where you point it. Stay away from any areas that are potentially violent or dangerous. Using this sense of power that you currently feel can be very effective if used wisely, or quite damaging if used in a mean, manipulative or unaware fashion.

Also on Tuesday

Career Advances or Opportunities - Managing Home and Business

Transiting Sun Trines your natal MidHeaven from 2nd to 5th December 2025. Exact 4th December

At this time you feel more able to see a balance or connection between who you are in public and who you are in private. Examples of this could be bringing a colleague home, or introducing a family member to the way you work. Also, if you have been paying too much attention to one area and not enough to the other, you can now see how to accomplish this, and begin to do so.

Thursday 4th December

Being In Tune - Social Harmony - Making The Peace

Transiting Sun Sextiles your natal Venus from 4th to 7th December 2025. Exact 6th December

Things are promising socially right now, and if there is a love interest, then you can be fairly sure that, if things are going to go your way at all, they will do so now. Making amends, launching any social event, being artistically creative or entertained - these are all liable to go with a swing at this time.

Friday 5th December

Strong Feelings - Spontaneous Actions - Feeling Vibrant

Transiting Mars Trines your natal Moon from 5th to 8th December 2025. Exact 7th December

At present you experience a natural flow of energy into whatever pursuits further your needs. So, any activity that requires lively responses or consistent emotions, such as a challenging task or satisfying a desire, is well-starred right now. Also, you are able to stand your ground without appearing guarded and unsure of yourself. Your current emotional state is likely to attract the very people or events that give you the feeling of being alive and going somewhere.

Sunday 7th December

The Inspired or Confused Mind - Mystical or Psychic Attunement

Transiting Mercury Conjuncts your natal Neptune from 7th to 9th December 2025. Exact 8th December

If you've been after an answer or inspiration from out of the ether, then this is the time you are very likely to receive it. This doesn't mean to say that it will come whatever you're doing. It may, but it would be better to be focused upon the issue of your concern, then - magic! Furthermore, not doing anything of a creative, therapeutic or entertaining nature at this time is possibly asking to attract absent-mindedness or strange, even paranoid, ideas. Any experience involving the natural or spirit world is good 'medicine' right now - it may even come to you unbidden.

Also on Sunday

Working Well - Being On The Case - Making Contacts and Connections

Transiting Sun Sextiles your natal Mercury from 7th to 10th December 2025. Exact 9th December

You work and communicate well now, and are generally on the ball with respect to any matters that relate to the daily business of living. You also have a better sense of the pros and cons of how you normally go about such things, giving you the opportunity to correct poor attitudes or methods, and to make the most of, or improve upon, the good ones.

Monday 8th December

Love And Sex - Romantic Opportunity - Attracting and/or Attracted

Transiting Venus Trines your natal Mars from 8th to 10th December 2025. Exact 9th December

This should go down in your diary as a time to have a good time socially, sexually or romantically - maybe all three! You are at your best with respect to these areas of your life and personality, so opportunity beckons. Attractive, artistic or simply likeable people appear on the scene to sweeten your life - or you could be the one being this for someone else. There should be signs right now - big or small - that it is good to be alive.

Also on Monday

Love And Duty - Serious Attachments - The Importance Of Commitment

Transiting Venus Trines your natal Saturn from 8th to 10th December 2025. Exact 9th December

This brings a period of relative stability in your love life, social involvements or financial affairs. What comprises such is now shown to you, so you can take stock of whatever that is and use it to build and secure these areas for the future. You are now more inclined to be economical and dutiful, without it feeling like a wet blanket. Partners are also inclined to be more responsible and mature at present.

Also on Monday

Synchronicity - Being In The Know - Unusual Connections

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Uranus from 8th to 10th December 2025. Exact 10th December

Being mentally in tune with new ideas, methods and technology is the advantage that this influence offers you. It's as if you can intuitively put your finger on whatever (or whomever) you need to make contact with. This is quite simply a time when you are on good mental and verbal form - so earmark it for those tasks and appointments that require such mental acuity.

Also on Monday

Love At Odds With Life - Love Life Laid Bare - Lovers' Tiffs

Transiting Venus Squares your natal Sun from 8th to 11th December 2025. Exact 10th December

You can now have the classic Venusian experience of, or opportunity for love, romance, beauty, value or anything else that makes life worth living. It is also a good time to go out or get down to finding such things. On the other hand, what happens is that the level and quality of romantic or social involvement in your life is now apparent and intensified.

The effect can therefore be anything from having a really good time to feeling in need of having a good time, from looking good to feeling how uphill it is trying to look good, from experiencing love and life as sweet and fulfilling to feeling that everything is superficial and of little value. A purchase can be just what you wanted or turn out later to be an indulgent waste of money.

In the end, Venus is about finding love, beauty and value in whatever circumstances you are in, and not fretting after something that is missing or wanting. Stop wanting and start having; stop craving and start giving. And beauty is only skin deep if that is only as far as you look!

Tuesday 9th December

All The World Loves A Lover - Attracting Status - Finding Approval

Transiting Venus Trines your natal MidHeaven from 9th to 11th December 2025. Exact 11th December

This is a mild influence that should help you to use your skills to blend your working and private life, to get one to serve the other. Any artistic or creative flair or project can now gain support from both official and personal spheres.

Also on Tuesday

Saying Too Much - Not Seeing the Forest for the Trees

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Jupiter from 9th to 12th December 2025. Exact 11th December

You are now put in touch with all you need to know. However, this can be a double-edged weapon, because on the one hand it could find you able to manage various items or activities into an effective whole, or, on the other hand, find you confused as ideas and conflicting considerations flood your mind, giving rise to a 'brain jam'. Marshalling your thoughts is therefore both the issue and the opportunity at present. Ultimately, you're gaining some kind of understanding now, be it about something specific or something general.

Out of this, a philosophical overview can be arrived at, thereby accommodating anything that is presently going on in your life. Another possible expression is thinking, speaking and/or acting out of a sense of opinion rather than a firm fact. Such succumbing to generalities posing as the truth could set you up for embarrassment or a lot of wasted time, or both, as you bluff and exaggerate your way into, or out of, something. So, get the facts straight - that is, of course, unless you're quite happy to pontificate. Dealing with foreign matters (or people) could also be an issue now - again, worthy of detailed consideration.

Wednesday 10th December

Pleasure Plus - Love Life Enhanced - Spending Sprees - Generosity

Transiting Venus Sextiles your natal Venus from 10th to 13th December 2025. Exact 12th December

Pleasure and harmony are the hallmarks of this time, but so too is indulgence, so watch your pocket and appetite! Be that as it may, Venus says that at times you just must enjoy yourself and not count the cost. The value of having a good time is priceless, and this influence has that very potential. Your love life can also receive a boost now, be it the start of something big, a rekindled romance, or simply an enjoyable evening or two with one (or ones) that are important to you.

Also on Wednesday

Asserting Individuality - Provoking The Unexpected

Transiting Mars Squares your natal Uranus from 10th to 13th December 2025. Exact 12th December

Hot!

A time to discover your freedom 'to be' and find out who you really are. You are now sharply made aware of this freedom; whether you think you want it or not! So, you could find yourself feeling restless, uncomfortably restricted, or easily agitated by others' expectations of you. You need the space to be yourself. The more that you understand this, then the freer you will feel to do your own thing, or start something new, without feeling insecure because of having to break away from the norm. At the other extreme, if you suppress or are totally unaware of your need for freedom, then be ready for a shock that is in aid of waking you up to it - like an accident or someone close to you asserting their need for freedom.

Thursday 11th December

Experiencing Power: Degeneration or Regeneration

Transiting Sun Squares your natal Pluto from 11th to 14th December 2025. Exact 13th December

The underlying fact of life that everything is born, evolves, decays, dies and is born again now enters your consciousness - in some way, great or small. The opportunity to tune into this cycle of birth and rebirth is well worth taking up, because it gives you a glimpse of the fact that you are a vital part of this cycle. As such, you may sense what is profound and powerful in you and your life, or what is wasteful and degenerate - but you will probably have to peer or delve some way beneath surface appearances in order to do so. You may also encounter manipulators of this power - be they benign or malignant. It could well become necessary for you to let go of decadent elements, and strive towards regenerative ones.

Friday 12th December

Acting with Conviction - Fortunate Moves - Exhorting Others

Transiting Mars Trines your natal Jupiter from 12th to 15th December 2025. Exact 14th December

You can get a lot done during this period, and encourage others to greater effort and achievement too. All physical activities, particularly sports, can be happily embarked upon. You feel surer than usual, and so it's a good time to further your objectives. Planning and decision-making are also well-starred because you have a greater than normal sense of all the elements that are in play.

Saturday 13th December

Loving Thoughts - Sweet Words - Artistic Perception

Transiting Venus Sextiles your natal Mercury from 13th to 15th December 2025. Exact 14th December

The poet, writer, artist or diplomat is now strong in you, so with any situation that requires a way with words, you're the one for the job! People or things that please and interest you are now likely to appear on the scene, so gatherings and shopping trips are propitious - notwithstanding, as usual, any contrary planetary influences possibly active at this time.

Also on Saturday

Clear Feelings - Equilibrium - Understanding Needs - Inner Calm

Transiting Sun Trines your natal Moon from 13th to 16th December 2025. Exact 15th December

This is an excellent time for getting in touch with both yourself and others, because you now experience an optimum balance between what you want and need, and between what you think and feel. So, you are more than usually able to see things in a healthy light, with a minimum of misunderstanding. Seeing eye to eye, creating agreements or settling disputes is also propitious. Moreover, problems arising from childhood traumas may be successfully explored and set on the road to resolution.

Sunday 14th December

Easy Self-Assertion - Energy Flows Forth

Transiting Mars Sextiles your natal Ascendant from 14th to 18th December 2025. Exact 16th December

You should feel that the force is with you now. This won't be quite so evident though if there are more inhibiting planetary influences around, but at least it will help you to deal with them. Notwithstanding this then, say what you want to say, do what you want to do, and go where you want to go. Somehow, others are more likely than usual to fall in with your desires; probably because you're more inclined to express and go for them in a confident and non-provocative way. All forms of physical activity are highlighted at this time.

Tuesday 16th December

Deep or Obsessive Love - Powerful Attraction - Sexual Guilt

Transiting Venus Squares your natal Pluto from 16th to 18th December 2025. Exact 18th December

You find you feel deeply for someone or something, or that you want to, or that you cannot get someone or something out of your system. In any event, you are experiencing the depth and power of love or attraction - and what you do with it is down to your deepest values. Such a feeling can actually turn up as someone who you feel strongly drawn to. It may or may not be mutual, it all depends upon that deeper state of your emotional being - is it attracting or repelling?

There is a 'Beauty and the Beast' quality to this influence, in that you could experience one or both of these extremes, with someone else on the other end, so to speak. The gulf between what is regarded as appealing and presentable as against what usually has to hide its face, feel anti-social, is a possibility now.

The trick is to go deep but not too deep, to appreciate face values, but not regard them as the entire picture. Be on guard against being manipulated - value yourself above all else - or of manipulating someone yourself, because you would only entrench yourself or get more than you bargained for. Possessiveness and jealousy can rear their heads now, which has something to do with being more in touch with what does and does not constitute genuine love. Handled right, you can get the best of both worlds: intense pleasure, deep feelings, and profound love.

Wednesday 17th December

Highlighting Uniqueness and Individuality - Expect the Unexpected

Transiting Sun Squares your natal Uranus from 17th to 20th December 2025. Exact 19th December

How you experience this influence has everything to do with how in touch you are with what is special about life in general and yourself in particular. If you have allowed your life to become too routine and predictable, then something (or someone) could appear on the scene to give you a shock or a jolt, or at least remind you that the world is a wild and extraordinary place. Alternatively, you could be the one to shock others by revealing what is rebellious or highly original about you. Why not make this a date with the unexpected by doing something you'd never normally do? Then, with the element of surprise on your side, there's no telling what new ideas or vistas could open up in front of you!

Thursday 18th December

Emotional Harmony - Accord with/between Females - Attractiveness

Transiting Venus Trines your natal Moon from 18th to 20th December 2025. Exact 19th December

This is a very 'female' influence in that you are inclined to use charm and receptivity rather than drive and ambition. If you are usually disposed towards making things happen, now you are wise to let them happen as they will, because in this way the easiest solution or most attractive outcome will ensue. Any pursuits that require grace, diplomacy or artistic imagination, or occasions like domestic or family gatherings and parties are highlighted at this time.

Also on Thursday

Healthy Self-Assertion - Getting a Lot Done

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Mars from 18th to 20th December 2025. Exact 20th December

Your mind is now in gear with your body, so anything that needs such an advantage, plan for now if you can. Sports, debate, selling, effective communication, getting your foot in the door - these are just some of the pursuits that you're presently more likely to excel in than you would normally. Any job which has been daunting for you, and you've been putting off - set to work on it now.

Also on Thursday

Getting Down To It - Efficient Thinking and Speaking - Officialdom

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Saturn from 18th to 21st December 2025. Exact 20th December

Now you can do with relative ease those boring tasks that you might usually put off. Mental discipline comes more naturally to you now, and people in authority (like bosses or officials), can be dealt with more effectively - they themselves will also seem more amenable or efficient. Any kind of work, study or communication is highlighted now, but more so the practical rather than the creative type. You find it easier, and more immediately satisfying, to get your affairs in order. Things fall into place, especially if you do, or have done, the groundwork.

Friday 19th December

Communication Challenges - Pressing Work Issues - Spats

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Sun from 19th to 21st December 2025. Exact 21st December

If you start feeling a bit overwrought during this time, then take few deep breaths - or better still - do some breathing exercises. If you are prone to insomnia, this influence could exacerbate it, because you're more than usually inclined to working everything out in your head. As your mind and ego are kind of hooked up together now, try not to blurt out the first thing that comes into your head since you may regret it. For the same reason, for maximum mental harmony, keep your mind focused only upon serious issues, or paradoxically, upon humorous ones. Arguing for arguing's sake could be a waste of time and energy now (and could also get you into hotter water than you'd bargained for)!

Also on Friday

Positive Thinking - Knowing The Plan - Goodwill - Luck

Transiting Sun Trines your natal Jupiter from 19th to 22nd December 2025. Exact 21st December

You are in a good frame of mind now as you're in touch with the better sides of your life and personality. It's as if you can see how you fit in with the greater whole; you feel that everything is for the best, and you have some sense of how things will pan out alright. So, with anything that is particularly oiled by having Lady Luck on your side, now is a good time to go for it - notwithstanding other influences to the contrary. You are also quite likely to encounter positive and encouraging people at this time.

Also on Friday

Home and Business Connections - Knowing Your Pitch

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal MidHeaven from 19th to 22nd December 2025. Exact 21st December

You now see clearly how your home and working life are dependent upon each other, and are able to balance your interests and investments in these respects. Getting private and professional figures and concerns to co-operate comes easier now. You see the whole picture and can manage 'you and yours' more efficiently.

Saturday 20th December

Loving Words - Artistic Expression - The Art of Diplomacy

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Venus from 20th to 23rd December 2025. Exact 22nd December

You know what pleases now - be it for yourself or someone else. At the same time, you know what doesn't please! All this gives you a good sense of what appeals or sells, so this is an excellent time for putting together anything that you want to go down well. Art, public relations, discussion, performing, charm and amusement - these are some of the things the positive expression, or experience, of which are at your fingertips right now. If you wish to make known what's on your mind in an appreciable or agreeable way - do it now.

Also on Saturday

Highlighting Personal Self-Expression - Being a Social Animal

Transiting Sun Sextiles your natal Ascendant from 20th to 23rd December 2025. Exact 22nd December

Your urge and ability to mix with others is marginally increased for the time being; you also come across in a more coherent fashion than usual. So, gathering people around you, or getting out and about (depending on which is more suitable), is a good idea, because you now make a good impression. If you usually like to 'play to the crowd', then you'll shine even more now. If not, then you might now possibly surprise yourself.

Sunday 21st December

The Electricity Of Love - Unusual Attractions - Possible Alienation

Transiting Venus Squares your natal Uranus from 21st to 23rd December 2025. Exact 22nd December

Whatever is out of the ordinary regarding sexual, social, creative or romantic involvements can appear out of the blue now. By the very nature of this influence it is hard to say what will happen. For the same reason it is best not to put too much store by whatever does, because it will most probably be a flash-in-the-pan kind of occurrence.

Experimental, shocking or odd - whatever happens now can be anything from extremely exciting to somehow detached - or both even. This influence can trigger the start of an exciting relationship, but it does not predict which way it will go, because the only assurance as far as Uranus is concerned is that you can expect the unexpected; so be ready to be woken up to something new. Significant coincidences can happen now, trying to tell you something about how love and life tick. Sudden attractions and/or breaks in relationship can also occur.

Monday 22nd December

Love And Goodwill - Fun And Generosity - Joie De Vivre - Lady Luck

Transiting Venus Trines your natal Jupiter from 22nd to 24th December 2025. Exact 24th December

Depending on your usual propensity for good fortune or giving/having a good time, this influence will provide you with a strong sense and/or experience of what is enjoyable about life. Taking in anything that enlivens or entertains is very propitious now - whether you are in an active or passive role. You have a lust for life at present - but watch your pocket or appetite, unless you are quite prepared to say it was worth the price, no matter what.

Any activity that requires you to put out a good or generous vibe is best booked for now. You are luckier than at other times - but bear in mind that gambling can have an agenda all of its own so paradoxically, do not bet on it! It is better by far to see and experience this influence as a gift from the gods - but on the gods' terms. This means to say that there is something good in the air, but do not presume on it being 'good' in precisely the way you think you want it to mean. It is really an opportunity to find out what 'good' actually means.

Tuesday 23th December

Flow of Communication - Working and Thinking Well - Connected

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Mercury from 23rd to 25th December 2025. Exact 24th December

All Mercurial activities, such as mental or manual work, studying, communications, travel, contact making, etc., are highlighted now. You are generally on good form intellectually, and seem to pick the right moment to make that call, the right way to say something, and to put your finger on the easiest solution. Co-operative ventures and interactions with those who live nearby (or siblings) are also well starred.

Also on Tuesday

Attractive Presentation - Working To Please - Social Investments

Transiting Venus Sextiles your natal Ascendant from 23rd to 26th December 2025. Exact 25th December

This is an excellent time to be seen in your best light. Making presentations, performing, making a play for someone or something, even going down on bended knee - these are all highlighted under this influence. Generally, others are glad to have you around, and the feeling will probably be mutual.

Thursday 25th December

Sleuthing It - Mental Preoccupation - Disturbing Undercurrents

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Pluto from 25th to 28th December 2025. Exact 27th December

Whatever rouses you, or demands your complete attention, is going to appear on the scene now. This could be in the form of a letter, a conversation, a book, or even an old question or feeling that pops to the surface to be looked into. Things that involve a mystery, like a whodunit, can really grab you at this time. Crime, the underworld, or the seamy side of life can also suck you in - but probably only on a mental level - but watch it, all the same. Having to perform work that requires deep concentration is very possible.

Saturday 27th December

Contacting Feelings - Easy Conversation - Interest and Sympathy

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Moon from 27th to 29th December 2025. Exact 28th December

Things are more likely to fall into place now because you have a greater than usual sense of give and take. You talk, but also listen, and vice versa. Enquiry is met with relevant response. Allowed to run on like this, this period can become very stimulating and informative, both emotionally and intellectually. Any intercommunications, personal or business, are highlighted at this time.

Also on Saturday

Stimulating Assertiveness - Provoking Aggression - High Energy

Transiting Mars Squares your natal Mars from 27th to 31st December 2025. Exact 30th December

Hot!

You should be raring to go now, so it's important that you have some constructive outlet for such energies, or otherwise you'll feel wound up and easily agitated. Basically, you should do anything that makes you feel happy to be active and mobile. If for any reason this is not possible, try to identify inside of you what exactly it is that you want or wish to do. Generally, you now get a good idea of how decisive and forthright you currently are. In fact, any course of action that initiates, regenerates or merely continues any project is recommended at this point. However, be warned that working at something resentfully, or repressing and being totally unaware of any urge to act at all, would be asking for a backlash in the form an accident or aggression from someone else - or simply feeling drained.

Also on Saturday

Inhibited or Disciplined Activity - Slowly Does It

Transiting Mars Squares your natal Saturn from 27th to 31st December 2025. Exact 30th December

Hot and Cold

At present there is a danger of your doubts and fears intruding just when you wish to act. This could take the external form of others holding you up in some way, or of some authority holding you back. Struggling angrily against such blockages would attract more frustration, so it's probably most advisable to take a back seat now. Working out your pent-up energies in an industrious fashion is a simple and productive solution. This would also mean having to avoid complications with others, which in turn could bring troublesome emotions to the surface in what could be a physically damaging way.

Monday 29th December

Scattered Thoughts - Stuck For Words - Indiscretion - Crossed Lines

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Uranus from 29th December 2025 to 1st January 2026. Exact 31st December

Whatever is new or unusual now catches your interest. Then again, it might be a disruptive element that intrudes upon your working and thinking. In any event, some new method or style is available, or necessary. If you're in tune and in time with any necessary changes, then, as if by magic, the right person, thing or opportunity appears on your scene. If you're of a nervous disposition, you could feel more agitated than usual. If this is the case, do some deep breathing, or chill out in some way that you know works for you.

Your mind is speeded up now, and can be very alive to ideas and inventions. A great deal depends upon how procedure driven or free spirited you are. The former 'will' attracts disruption, the latter attracts innovation. Another interesting aspect of this influence is that you either find yourself stuck for words, losing your thread while speaking, or, you can be very intuitive and outspoken. Then again, you may find yourself speaking out of turn, or saying something inappropriate. Everything depends upon how informed you are regarding a given subject. Machines, especially computers, could play up now.

Also on Monday

Forcefulness with Ease - The Door Opener - A Winning Way

Transiting Mars Sextiles your natal Sun from 29th December 2025 to 1st January 2026. Exact 31st December

You are able to approach and execute matters as well as possible now, either in relation to your usual ability to act decisively - or considering the situation that you are currently dealing with. In other words, you are now most likely to know what you want, and how to go about getting it. More to the point, however, you are most likely to assert yourself owing to an instinctive sense of sureness that attracts success and confidence, rather than to being impatient and pushy, which would attract the opposite.

Forecast for January 2026

Tuesday 30th December

Seeing the Whole - Getting a Plan - Philosophical Thinking

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Jupiter from 30th December 2025 to 2nd January 2026. Exact 1st January 2026

Preparation and furtherance are the allies available to you at present. Having all the facts at your fingertips, seeing how the general fits in with the particular, linking the local to the global, the everyday to the profound - perceptions like these now come more easily to you, allowing you to put forward, create or resolve whatever issues are in front of you. Whether it's finding the meaning of things, or translating one thing into another, your deductive mind and intuitive mind are now working in concert. Now is the time when you can accurately get the picture; or be put in it.

Also on Tuesday

Highlighting Personal Drive, Sex Life, Courage and Decisiveness

Transiting Sun Squares your natal Mars from 30th December 2025 to 2nd January 2026. Exact 1st January 2026

Hot!

Mars is symbolic of that force within and around you which makes it possible to go for, and get something or someone; it also represents the urge and the right to do so. How good, bad or indifferent you are when it comes to expressing your Mars qualities is currently an issue. Being active, independent, forthright or bold now, is a sign that you know what you are after, and how and when to act. Experiencing anger, abusiveness or excessive use of force (either in yourself or another), would be a sign that you need to look at what you yourself are angry about, at what you want, and at what you must do in order to obtain it, or so that you no longer want it.

Also on Tuesday

Highlighting Status and Responsibilities, Caution and Doubts

Transiting Sun Squares your natal Saturn from 30th December 2025 to 2nd January 2026. Exact 1st January 2026

This period doesn't exactly find you in a party mood, but it does put you in a sober frame of mind that should enable you to get down to identifying what is (and what is not) required of you, and what is blocking your progress or view. The main trouble is that the pressure will be upon you to do just this. It is attempting to duck your responsibilities that would give you a hard time. Equally though, the thanklessness of tasks done out of a blind sense of duty, or born of fear, also shows up now. Even though this period lasts only a few days, time passes slowly, so use it to reflect coolly and carefully upon your position in life, without feeling panicky or depressed about it. Notwithstanding what else is indicated at present, the time to act comes later, after having made your purpose and obligation clearer.

Wednesday 31st December

Love At Odds With Sex - Attracting and/or Attracted

Transiting Venus Squares your natal Mars from 31st December 2025 to 3rd January 2026. Exact 2nd January 2026

You are very much in the mood for sexual and/or romantic experience, or simply to feel socially alive. Depending upon your temperament and availability, such an experience, or at least the opportunity for one, could arise right now, or, it would be a good time to plan for such an occasion, or, failing all of these, it could be a time of frustration if these matters have been put on the backburner.

Then again, out of the blue could come an experience that kind of pleasurably highlights the current state of affairs in your love/sex/social life - even precipitating you into an affair or relationship. All in all though, this has the potential to be an enjoyable and exciting time - but be wary of your own shortcomings with respect to these areas being exposed.

Also on Wednesday

Love And Duty - Serious Attachments - The Importance Of Commitment

Transiting Venus Squares your natal Saturn from 31st December 2025 to 3rd January 2026. Exact 2nd January 2026

You experience the serious or very real side of love and social involvement now. This is not a time for having fun and letting your hair down, so do not plan for this or get frustrated trying to make it so. More than likely your partner, or people in general, will come across as sober and responsible now - or in need of such qualities. If you are not with anyone, you can feel more alone than usual, or if you are prepared to take a serious rather than cynical look, you can get the measure of why you are unattached.

If this is truly not an issue under this influence, then you can probably congratulate yourself on being genuinely self-sufficient. By and large though, this period is inclined to show up the warts and weaknesses in your love and social life, including the pressure to do something about it. In any event, this means being emotionally mature and responsible and doing what has to done, even though it is difficult. In time, such commitment will prove to be well worth it. On a financial level, you may well have to read the writing on the wall here instead, or as well, getting real about money being the call of the day.

Also on Wednesday

Smooth Running - Opening Doors - No Worries

Transiting Sun Sextiles your natal Sun from 31st December 2025 to 3rd January 2026. Exact 2nd January 2026

You are 'in sync' with life today - at least, in the context of whatever else is going on for you astrologically at this time. So now is when you can gain co-operation from others, and be generally in tune and in gear. You could also receive assistance from someone; someone who possibly has power or authority.

Thursday 1st January

On The Ball - Getting Around Locally and/or Mentally

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Ascendant from 1st to 3rd January 2026. Exact 2nd January

Life is interesting and busy at this time. Useful contacts, stimulating people and subjects cross your path. If you have to look anyone or anything up, you're more likely than usual to make the right connections, possess good timing. You could also receive a significant communication, or the even the one you've been waiting for; especially if there are other activities occurring that indicate positive events.

Also on Thursday

Pleasant Living - Creative Awareness - Happy Day - Love Life

Transiting Venus Sextiles your natal Sun from 1st to 4th January 2026. Exact 3rd January

You should be on good terms with the world around now, and particularly with those who are close to you. If there have been any emotional disturbances of late, then this offers an opportunity to patch up and make up. Also, if you want to go and find a certain consumer item, then you are more likely to find just what you want right now. Artistic expression and appreciation is also well-starred - so get thee to a studio, instrument, keyboard or gallery, etc.

Wednesday 7th January

Forceful Words and Thinking - Count To Ten - Getting a Lot Done

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Mars from 7th to 9th January 2026. Exact 9th January

It's as if everything has bells on now, and the slightest wrong word or movement sets them jangling. There's a danger of speaking out of turn, or of saying something you later come to regret, so try to think before speaking - or acting, for that matter. You may feel justified in getting heated over a certain issue, but there is a strong possibility that, ultimately, the only satisfaction you'll get is from merely feeling justified. Your 'opponent' if so disposed, could make you eat your words at a later date, or you may not have a 'later date' to say anything at all; justifiable or otherwise.

At this time it pays to look at what it is in you that causes you to feel ineffectual (or overlooked) in any way. This will not only supply you with useful information which you can then do something constructive about, but it would prevent you having a run in with someone, or something, (like a car or sharp object) that has nothing to do with it - other than the fact that they trigger your anger and frustration born of a complex about self-assertion and getting what you want in life.

Also on Wednesday

Need To Plan Thinking - Heavy Thoughts - Officialdom

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Saturn from 7th to 9th January 2026. Exact 9th January

This is when you can (or have to) get down to some serious thinking or work. Failure to do what needs doing can give rise to depression, or pressure from someone or something that has authority over you. Basically, your mind now turns to whatever is your responsibility. Whether or not you are alive to what that is and knuckle down to it, makes the difference between this being a heavy, or efficient time. It is definitely not a time for woolly thinking and escapism, because you could put yourself in line for some kind of bad reaction or payback, either now or later on. This is not supposed to be a 'fun' time, so don't frustrate or exhaust yourself trying to make out that it is. It's a time for work and effort, so you will feel far better (and lighter) as a result of simply doing what has to be done - or what you have been putting off.

Thursday 8th January

Easy Communication - Getting Work Done

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Sun from 8th to 10th January 2026. Exact 9th January

You feel 'wired in' to what's most important to you now, so it's a good time for seeing to jobs in hand, saying what has to be said, and generally setting to work on affairs. You are more able to co-ordinate your efforts and deliberations with those of other people at this time, so coming to agreements, and getting good work done on a co-operative basis, are strongly highlighted. Travel arrangements and making connections are far more likely to go smoothly too.

Friday 9th January

Loving Deeply - Genuine Attraction - Sexual Pleasure

Transiting Venus Trines your natal Pluto from 9th to 11th January 2026. Exact 11th January

You are drawn to what is deep and dark - but probably without feeling controlled or compromised by such a feeling, such as can often be the case. If in a relationship, you now have the experience, or opportunity, of feeling in touch with the nucleus of what binds you together, yet in a way that is very right, fated even. This influence could possibly trigger the start of an important relationship, but there would probably have to be other, longer standing planetary effects to make it so.

Saturday 10th January

Repairs and Regeneration - Getting to the Bottom of It - Power Assist

Transiting Sun Trines your natal Pluto from 10th to 12th January 2026. Exact 12th January

This is a good time to start any regimen, to turn things around, to eliminate anything that has been bothering you, or simply to put what's wrong right. You feel a power coursing through you, but it is a gentle and sure power - not one that is insisting you express it no matter what. Your powers of concentration, and your stamina - be it physical, mental or emotional - are stronger than usual, so any demanding activity is better pursued at this time.

Also on Saturday

Initiating Profound Changes - A Healthy Sense of Power

Transiting Mars Trines your natal Pluto from 10th to 14th January 2026. Exact 12th January

Whatever you feel strongly about in a far-reaching way, can be successfully set in motion now. You may not see the results of this straightaway, but you would sense a sort of 'point of destiny' as you did so. Even if you are not aware of any such burning issue, this is a time when you should feel a certain power in the air. This could take the form of being in the presence of a powerful personality, or a waterfall, or some other impressive phenomenon. In any event, you presently have the ability to impress or be impressed.

Sunday 11th January

Emotional Discomfort - Discord with/between Females - Let It Be

Transiting Venus Squares your natal Moon from 11th to 13th January 2026. Exact 12th January

This need not necessarily be a difficult time - it can in fact turn out to be quite pleasurable. However, there is an inclination for social and domestic needs to get in the way of one another. This can also include disharmony on the home front, conflict between mother and lover, or being too accommodating and having to pay the price. Inherent in all this though, is a need for peace, so that upsets are usually righted quite soon afterwards. Feelings and values may clash, but the requirements of security and harmony eventually hold sway.

Monday 12th January

Feeling Split - Emotional Conflict - Negotiating Difficulties

Transiting Sun Squares your natal Moon from 12th to 15th January 2026. Exact 14th January

You could find yourself in two minds about a certain issue. Such could, in turn, give rise to discontent and conflict of purpose. You may find yourself in disputes with family members, or be feeling generally at odds with the world around you. Succumbing to negative feelings would, however, be missing the point as this influence offers you the opportunity to see the emotional score, to be less subjective, read the writing on the wall and obey what it says. You can sort out problems as long as you are emotionally honest enough to accept that which is your responsibility and that which is someone else's - because this is now being made clear.

Tuesday 13th January

Love Dreams - Pleasing Fantasies - Artistic Inspiration

Transiting Venus Sextiles your natal Neptune from 13th to 15th January 2026. Exact 14th January

Any feelings or ideas regarding love, sex, music or art - or social life generally - are now nicely attuned to your ideals and visions of a better life. None of this is particularly dynamic, but this gentle, almost 'hippie' type, influence can be very enjoyable. This is a good time to put aside for any pursuit or pastime that comes into these categories.

Also on Tuesday

Stimulating or Attacking Feelings - Protecting Your Space

Transiting Mars Squares your natal Moon from 13th to 17th January 2026. Exact 15th January

Hot!

The feelings that you have been sitting on need to come to the surface now. So feeling irritable, or fit to burst, is quite likely. This is a natural safety valve urging you to unload negative feelings such as anger or resentment, and especially those that concern your family and figures, or events, from your past. Being 'reasonable' at this time would be missing the point, because being supposedly abiding and well-behaved is what made you swallow your true feelings in the first place. So 'cough up the bile' and all concerned will feel the healthier and more secure for it eventually. It is very important now to make it clear how you feel, but to avoid unnecessary conflict, you must make the distinction between a feeling and who or what triggers off that feeling.

Wednesday 14th January

Sleuthing It - Powerful Words and Thoughts - Deep Study

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Pluto from 14th to 16th January 2026. Exact 15th January

If you have a job to do that requires your undivided attention; do it now. Not only is your mind on relatively good form, and can work into the night, you are also in the frame of mind where you can repel any interference powerfully, even ruthlessly, if need be. You know that you have to see whatever it is through, no matter what.

Also on Wednesday

The Electricity Of Love - Unusual Attractions - Unexpected Pleasure

Transiting Venus Trines your natal Uranus from 14th to 16th January 2026. Exact 15th January

There is a sparkle to sexual, social or creative activities. A certain type of freeness pervades your involvements that can give rise to new forms of pleasure or expression, exciting contacts and new groups of people. A good time to get out and experiment with life and society, to see what it has on offer. Gatherings go with a swing, people show their more original or quirky sides.

Also on Wednesday

Going With The Flow - Attuned To Spirit - Creativity and Entertainment

Transiting Sun Sextiles your natal Neptune from 14th to 17th January 2026. Exact 16th January

This is a fine, subtle influence, which you could miss unless you are alive to the unseen, mystical or imaginative elements of life and your personality. Any kind of creative or spiritual pursuit - either active or passive - is propitious under this planetary effect. You are more attuned to subtle and emotional vibrations than usual, and possibly sense that struggling with issues only prolongs or complicates them. An enjoyable time listening to, or playing music, communing with Nature, or any activity involving the sea, are some of the possibilities right now.

Thursday 15th January

Logic Versus Feelings - Gossip and Trivia

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Moon from 15th to 17th January 2026. Exact 17th January

Time could be wasted with gossiping and small talk - but then again, it might be this very thing that makes you feel in tune with your immediate environment. You are more mentally in touch with your feelings at this time, so you may learn a lot on this front, as well as making it clear to others how you feel and, conversely, receiving from them how they feel. Saying too much could be something to watch out for, as too would be getting into a confrontation with somebody who lives close by, a colleague or family member. Then again, it could be precisely such a confrontation that makes you more aware of your own and another's feelings, generally speaking or with regard to some specific matter.

Also on Thursday

Waking up to The Truth - Light upon The Future - The New and Unusual

Transiting Sun Trines your natal Uranus from 15th to 18th January 2026. Exact 17th January

Whatever else may be going on in your life, this influence helps you to see it as part of a greater pattern or long term process of development. You also gain insights into what is unique about yourself, and others too - and you begin to appreciate more what freedom actually means. Additionally, this is a good time to involve yourself with subjects that take a greater overview of life, like science and technology, astronomy, astrology, psychology, etc.

Friday 16th January

Appearance Versus Circumstances - Love The One You're With

Transiting Venus Squares your natal Ascendant from 16th to 19th January 2026. Exact 18th January

Venus' trickier ways can dog you now if you are not aware of them. For instance, this means that someone can catch your eye and come to compromise you later. Or, your partner can appear to have not as much going for them as you think you'd like. The situation could be reversed, in both cases. In other words, do not be fooled by looks or style now; stick to the main plot.

Also on Friday

Acting Selflessly - Relaxed Inactivity

Transiting Mars Sextiles your natal Neptune from 16th to 20th January 2026. Exact 18th January

This influence can be almost unnoticeable because the desires 'to act' and 'to do nothing' coincide. So, deliberately doing nothing in the form of relaxing or withdrawing to contemplate what you (and it) are all about is recommended. It can also be a good idea to do something that helps others achieve ends that have little to do with your own. In fact, anything that your ego would normally get in the way of may now be healthily embarked upon.

Saturday 17th January

The Inspired Mind - Mystical or Psychic Attunement

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Neptune from 17th to 19th January 2026. Exact 18th January

If you've been after an answer, or inspiration, from out of the ether, then this is the time you're very likely to receive it. This doesn't mean to say that it will come whatever you're doing. It may, but it would be better to be focused upon the issue of your concern, and then - magic! Doing anything of a creative, therapeutic or entertaining nature is profitable, or advisable, at this time. Any experience involving the natural, or spirit, world is good 'medicine' right now - it may even come to you unbidden.

Also on Saturday

Synchronicity - Being In The Know - Unusual Connections

Transiting Mercury Trines your natal Uranus from 17th to 19th January 2026. Exact 19th January

Being mentally in tune with new ideas, methods and technology is the advantage that this influence offers you. It's as if you can intuitively put your finger on whatever (or whomever) you need to make contact with. This is quite simply a time when you are on good mental and verbal form - so earmark it for those tasks and appointments that require such mental acuity.

Sunday 18th January

Acting Intuitively - Refreshing Influences - Who Dares Wins

Transiting Mars Trines your natal Uranus from 18th to 21st January 2026. Exact 20th January

This is an excellent time for 'unusual acts' - like doing something that you wouldn't normally do for fear of rocking the boat, embarrassment, etc. The effect of such an act can be astounding, because in time it may be seen that such intuitive spontaneity has opened up a pathway into the future that could not have happened otherwise. So, you are now more likely to act on a whim, or take more of a risk, than you would as a rule.

Monday 19th January

Missing the Point - Jumping to Conclusions - Misplaced Interest

Transiting Mercury Squares your natal Ascendant from 19th to 21st January 2026. Exact 21st January

You may find yourself in a difficult mediating position right now - or it may be you who is in need of a go-between of some sort. The trouble is, any kind of communication is likely to go awry at present, unless you have someone or something really efficient on the case. Unless you are sure you have such things well in hand, it is best to take a back seat and say very little until this usually brief period is over.

Also on Monday

Challenging Social/Emotional Equilibrium - Importance of Sharing

Transiting Sun Squares your natal Ascendant from 19th to 22nd January 2026. Exact 21st January

Seeing eye-to-eye with others is not easy now, so don't expect to gain any goodwill, persuade anyone, or feel that 'at peace' with the world. This is really a test of your equilibrium, so just balance on that wire and don't try any clever tricks.

Thursday 22nd January

Conflict in the Air - Fighting for Independence

Transiting Mars Squares your natal Ascendant from 22nd to 26th January 2026. Exact 24th January

Hot!

You are not the easiest person to be around just now, because being your own person is an important issue for you. So, others (especially intimates) are liable to bug you because you're so sensitive about not having anyone intrude upon your right to do things in your own way. Looked at more simply, you are having to assert yourself under pressure, so it's best to work alone if possible, and have a clear objective. Any repressed negative emotion such as resentment or anger is likely to come to the surface; so honestly express it, don't suppress it, or you could attract damage or illness.

Saturday 24th January

Love And Sex - Romantic Opportunity - Attracting and/or Attracted

Transiting Venus Sextiles your natal Mars from 24th to 27th January 2026. Exact 26th January

This should go down in your diary as a time to have a good time socially, sexually or romantically - maybe all three! You are at your best with respect to these areas of your life and personality, so opportunity beckons. Attractive, artistic or simply likeable people appear on the scene to sweeten your life - or you could be the one being this for someone else. There should be signs right now - big or small - that it is good to be alive.

Also on Saturday

Love And Duty - Serious Attachments - The Importance Of Commitment

Transiting Venus Sextiles your natal Saturn from 24th to 27th January 2026. Exact 26th January

This brings a period of relative stability in your love life, social involvements or financial affairs. What comprises such is now shown to you, so you can take stock of whatever that is and use it to build and secure these areas for the future. You are now more inclined to be economical and dutiful, without it feeling like a wet blanket. Partners are also inclined towards being more responsible and mature at present.

Sunday 25th January

Healthy Self-Assertion - Getting a Lot Done

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Mars from 25th to 27th January 2026. Exact 27th January

Your mind is now in gear with your body, so, anything that needs such an advantage, plan for now if you can. Sports, debate, selling, effective communication, getting your foot in the door - these are just some of the pursuits that you are presently more likely to excel in than you would normally. Any job that has been daunting you, and you have been putting off, set to work on it now.

Also on Sunday

Getting Down To It - Efficient Thinking and Speaking - Officialdom

Transiting Mercury Sextiles your natal Saturn from 25th to 27th January 2026. Exact 27th January

Now you can do with relative ease those boring tasks that you might usually put off. Mental discipline comes more naturally to you now, and people in authority (like bosses or officials), can be dealt with more effectively - they themselves will also seem more amenable or efficient. Any kind of work, study or communication is highlighted now, but more so the practical rather than the creative type. You find it easier, and more immediately satisfying, to get your affairs in order. Things fall into place, especially if you do, or have done, the groundwork.

Monday 26th January

Charity Begins At Home - Domestic Harmony - Loving Family

Transiting Venus Opposes your natal MidHeaven from 26th to 28th January 2026. Exact 27th January

This is a good time to be with your family or whoever you live with. It is also propitious for any home improvement or any creative activity in your home. If there has been any conflict or disharmony in the family, now is the time to make peace. Sentiment and nostalgia could be to the fore, and very pleasurable - but don't overdo this or it could have an ultimately undesirable effect.

Also on Monday

Home Interests - Family Connections - Knowing Your Patch

Transiting Mercury Opposes your natal MidHeaven from 26th to 28th January 2026. Exact 28th January

This is a time to take an interest in the home. Gatherings that exercise the mind in the family sphere are well starred. Bringing work home could be an issue - for good or ill. Getting in touch with your roots could be very stimulating, and maybe answer a question.

Tuesday 27th January

Loving Words - Artistic Expression - The Art of Diplomacy

Transiting Mercury Conjuncts your natal Venus from 27th to 29th January 2026. Exact 29th January

You know what pleases now - be it for yourself or someone else. At the same time, you know what doesn't please! All this gives you a good sense of what appeals or sells, so this is an excellent time for putting together anything that you want to go down well. Art, public relations, discussion, performing, charm and amusement - these are some of the things the positive expression, or experience, of which are at your fingertips right now. If you wish to make known what's on your mind in an appreciable or agreeable way - do it now.

Also on Tuesday

Pleasure Plus - Love Life Focused - Spending Sprees - Generosity

Transiting Venus Conjuncts your natal Venus from 27th to 29th January 2026. Exact 29th January

Pleasure and harmony are the hallmarks of this time, but so too is indulgence, so watch your pocket and appetite! Be that as it may, Venus says that at times you just must enjoy yourself and not count the cost. The value of having a good time is priceless, and this influence has that very potential. Your love life can also receive a boost now, be it the start of something big, a rekindled romance, or simply an enjoyable evening or two with one (or ones) that are important to you.

Thursday 29th January

Sharp Mind - Agitated Mind - Busy at Work - Criticism

Transiting Mercury Conjuncts your natal Mercury from 29th to 31st January 2026. Exact 31st January

Your mental processes are to the fore right now, so your usual manner of thinking and of verbally interacting, are highly noticeable - for good or ill. You could find yourself being on the ball and very efficient, or alternatively, fretting and fussing as you strive to impose logical order on to all you are involved with. Then again, you may find someone else doing this to you and get very irritated. It should be clear what state your mental powers are in right now. Interactions with others in your area, or local environmental issues, could now prove significant.

Also on Thursday

Getting Things Done - Healthy Self-Assertion - Feeling Fit

Transiting Sun Sextiles your natal Mars from 29th January 2026 to 1st February 2026. Exact 31st January

Getting down to things, opening doors, launching yourself with energy and enthusiasm, attaining the object of your desires - these are some of the advantages of this influence. In proportion to your usual powers of self-assertion, asserting yourself in any way is in tune with the general way of things at present.

Also on Thursday

A Sense of Order - Highlighting Discipline and Economy

Transiting Sun Sextiles your natal Saturn from 29th January 2026 to 1st February 2026. Exact 31st January

You should be functioning well over these few days, so it's a good time to get more systematic, devise a plan, or even embark upon some important undertaking - assuming other indications are not inauspicious. You are, at present, more than usually inclined to get down to what needs doing without being, or feeling, distracted by issues that do not bear directly on the job in hand. You are now more disposed towards structure and efficiency than you are towards whims or sentimentality.

Transiting Venus Conjuncts your natal Mercury from 29th January 2026 to 1st February 2026. Exact 31st January

The poet, writer, artist or diplomat is now strong in you, so with any situation that requires a way with words, you're the one for the job! People or things that please and interest you are now likely to appear on the scene, so gatherings and shopping trips are propitious - notwithstanding, as usual, any contrary planetary influences possibly active at this time.
