As disrupter planet Pluto gets back on a positive path, so many tasks that have seemed impossible are back on your Get It Done list.

A shy Pisces has so much to offer.

LEO

JULY 23 – AUG 23

12

The positive push of Venus in your security sector means you can see a home you love this week – and start moving towards it. 

Who lives there is more important than where, or how big, it is.

Single? Four-letter names can be your major clue. 

Friends overflow with surprises as Jupiter flips back – all of them can inspire you.

Rewriting relationship rules into something more exciting, can be your task of the week – as golden Jupiter reverses. 

Knowing what you need isn’t enough on its own, you also have to get this through to a partner. 

If you’re still looking, a dream you keep having about a specific location can be telling you something. 

A song from your past can be the soundtrack to your work future.

CAPRICORN

DEC 22 – JAN 20

You now have positive Pluto power back in your sign for the last time – so make the next few weeks really count. 

Instead of the quiet life, you can activate the right life, even if it means stepping on some toes.

Meanwhile Jupiter begins a few months of travelling back, and you could question your career choices and wonder if there’s anything better out there. 

Answer – yes, there is.

AQUARIUS

JAN 21 – FEB 18

12

Curiosity, charm and the kind of open mind that keeps chances coming, are just a few of Jupiter’s gifts to you, starting this week. 

Asking tough questions, about every aspect of your life, is a positive process, so don’t hold back. 

Venus pushes for passion that feels, rather than looks. perfect. 

Only you can really recognise this. 

The sun opens a travel page on a dream destination.

PISCES

FEB 19 – MAR 20

Who you choose to retain in your life, and who you could release, is your chart theme.

That new home set-up may feel further away, but this gives you space to decide if it’s really right.

The Mars effect builds confidence into creative plans.
