Aries
March 21 to April 20
Each year, the planet of power and transformation, Pluto, goes through a five-month retrograde. Today he stations direct. If you have found yourself thinking deeply about some of the connections and collaborations in your world, Pluto is part of why. It may be that some have made way, but those that are still with you are likely the trusted connections you really trust.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
The planets have been pushing you in two different directions but at the same time. On one hand, your connection to the world and around your job may be changing, just at a time when another part of you may have been more content out of the limelight. They don’t have to be mutually exclusive, however, and your talent for supporting people can shine brightly.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Sometimes when things change in our lives, it’s because we are driving those changes. This can be exciting and liberating. At other times it can seem like those changes are being enforced on us, which can feel much more challenging. You may have experienced this more recently, but now, Gemini, it can feel you are starting to steer the direction more on your terms.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
We can all have attachments, and they can be comforting, even reassuring, even if we know they may be a bit too calorific, or indulgent. However, some of our attachments can be more powerful, and go beyond the naughty but nice. If you have found yourself grappling to break free from one, it may get a little easier from now and help to lift a heavy emotional burden.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Being a Fixed sign, your preference, despite your fire sign rulership, can be in appreciating familiarity. We all have life patterns, but some of yours, whilst not rigid, may give you a sense of comfort. However, things have been evolving around connections, but you have learned that it’s not just your view of them that counts. Fortunately, things can settle now.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
If you have been feeling in the mood for a change around your routines or even some life patterns, it would be of little surprise. At work, you may have felt unsettled because things have been unsettled for the business you work for. Things may ease a little now, but still be open to taking charge of things. This will work better than waiting to see how things unfold.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
You may have felt that certain interests and hobbies, whilst not standing still, haven’t been travelling forwards at the pace they could. It may be because you have had more than one option. Because of this, you may have felt torn as to which to pursue. This could even be true around your social life. Now you feel more assured about making a firm choice.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
That deeper side of your nature has been activated powerfully in the last couple of years. Whether it is contemplating your family connections, emotional roots or where you live, all very much in the mix. If you have felt particularly introspective, that can ease now, but the options can still turn over in your mind, of just what may need to evolve and change.

Sagittarius
We all have beliefs, and perhaps for many of us they are consistent. However, if you have found yourself rethinking some of yours of late, it would be of little surprise. Pluto has been encouraging you to question what really holds meaning for you. Now, you can feel more confident about what matters and where you stand, but also how you share these with others.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
If you’ve felt that some plans or ambitions have needed a rethink, you may now start to see where you’re heading more clearly. Pluto’s change of direction can help you feel less weighed down by questions about your future. With the Moon entering your sign, you’ll have a stronger sense of purpose, and this can help you trust your instincts more readily.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
There may have been times when you’ve felt something important was happening beneath the surface, even if you couldn’t quite put your finger on it. Pluto’s direct turn can help bring some of this into clearer focus. You may also be questioning whether a situation still reflects the person you’ve become. If not, it’s time to consider how you can adapt this for what you need.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Friendships and connections can evolve in ways that aren’t always easy to understand at the time. You may have been quietly reassessing where certain people fit into your life, and Pluto’s change of direction can help you feel more settled. Meanwhile, an unexpected conversation could make you look at a relationship differently. Stay open to what you discover.
