ARIES The New Moon in your sign heralds new beginnings and it may be prudent to make plans as to what you wish to achieve. Leaving things to chance may undermine chances of success for any project.
TAURUS You may find things are working against you especially if you want to get something off the ground. For practical purposes, this might be a good time to simply sit and wait until things calm down before doing anything.
GEMINI Friends may try and rush you into something and you might find either you do not have all, or even the right information. Rather than try and prove others wrong, take the time to find what you need.
CANCER You may have to take the initiative where career and professional matters are concerned. There is a tendency to allow your feelings to drive your decisions but in this case instinct may win you the day.
LEO A good time to be making some far-reaching plans and acting on them. Be prepared however to share them with your nearest and dearest otherwise you may find yourself having to do some quick explaining.
VIRGO Time to stop procrastinating and get on with something that has been in the pipeline for a while. You are driven to get things right but you must also be prepared to show confidence in your abilities.
LIBRA Someone special in your life will show you that you cannot please all of the people all of the time. Be prepared to back yourself rather than just trying to placate all and sundry otherwise you will wear the consequences.
SCORPIO Work matters are highlighted and you may have to take the initiative, in spite of reservations. Be prepared to back your intuition with action and you may be surprised by what you achieve.
SAGITTARIUS Be careful that, in your enthusiasm, you may fail to see there is little or no substance to any proposal or project that you are about to undertake. Take the time to examine the details.
CAPRICORN A situation at home or in the family may suddenly become apparent and there will be no quick solution. The best way to deal with existing tensions is to agree to disagree for the time being.
AQUARIUS Optimism and idealism abound especially as the result of news or information received. Be careful that you do not act on this alone. You will have to be prepared to investigate further before committing yourself.
PISCES Take the initiative where finances are concerned but be careful to tend towards the conservative side of things, in spite of what others say. The ‘good news’ may not be worth as much as is rumoured.
