TAURUS

Tensions mount this week and reactions seem to be on the extreme side. As you are generally not known for your impulsive actions now would not be the time to start, so try and maintain your equilibrium.

GEMINI

Take a bit of time to form your ideas and opinions, as things may not be what they seem. Seeking the opinion of others will only confuse the issue even more, so create the space to mull things over.

CANCER

Things lighten up as the week progresses and you gain more confidence in the ability to handle the situation. Once you are able to separate your own feelings from theirs all becomes clear.

LEO

You may need to rein in your temper this week, as your interactions with others prove fruitless. All they seem to be doing is wasting your time and resources in the most unproductive of ways.

VIRGO

Great insights and we may even say flashes of inspiration allows for a breakthrough this week, which lets you to see both sides of the question. As the redesign takes shape your initial nervousness will pass.

LIBRA

The brakes are off and you have come out fighting. At least that is how you feel as you put your own needs first resulting in a few power struggles. Live and learn from your mistakes.

SCORPIO

When both your rulers Mars and Pluto square off to each other passions are stimulated. Now this could be just what is needed but if you deliberately provoke an argument, prepare for battle.

SAGITTARIUS

You will find yourself much more productive if only you would start organising yourself better. By disciplining yourself in this manner you will accomplish and achieve far more work.

CAPRICORN

The Sun and Saturn combination over the next few weeks gives you the determination and persistence needed to resolve any outstanding legal issues that have hindered your way forward.

AQUARIUS

Alliances or group connections formed this week could have far reaching repercussions. Allow some time for your initial interchanges and assessment to be processed before making judgments.

PISCES

You may gain some insight into a problem that has been confusing you regarding a neighbour. Let this awareness percolate for an opportunity will arise that helps you approach the matter.

ARIES

Things heat up as Mars enters his own sign after an absence of two years. When he also aligns with Pluto sparks can fly. You may not realise just how forcefully you are coming across which tends to provoke others.

The Sun in Cancer

Cancer is the fourth sign of the zodiac and whereas Aries and Libra represent the equinoxes, Cancer and Capricorn represent the solstice points where again we see a change in the length of time given to daylight hours and night, sunlight and darkness.

Whether living in northern or southern hemispheres, a boundary is reached and after a brief pause the polarity of daylight hours and night time hours, light or dark reach a maximum level and is then superseded and reversed.

In Cancer a boundary is reached and whilst Gemini would be happy continually reaching out to extend itself without thought for tomorrow in Cancer we see the particular need for home and family and the security that comes with a stable base or foundation.

For in Cancer comes the realisation that there is a life span, a rhythm to life that we all share. In Cancer comes the realisation of the impact we have on others and the need to establish a foundation on which we are able to operate creatively and socially and hence go forth from this foundation into the Leo phase.

If the foundations are not firm and secure it does not matter how much time, effort or money is spent building the structure, at the first time of trouble or puff of wind it could all come tumbling down, wiping out everything we thought we may have gained. This then can destroy the confidence and self esteem that is built into the next phase of Leo.
