Aries 21 March - 20 April... For the first time in eighteen years, the Sun in Leo goes face to face with the powerful Point of Destiny in Aquarius. Leo energy is fabulous for showcasing our individual brilliance, but the North Node in the Water Bearer asks us to think about how this links to others. If you can both be creative and collaborative, you will be working with this influence perfectly, Aries.

Taurus 21 April - 21 May... There may be familiar patterns at the root of your life which provide enormous reassurance and comfort, rather like a well-worn but comfy pair of cosmic slippers. However, the North Node today, and the omnipresent powers of Pluto in Aquarius, are asking you to dare to consider a new, bolder, and less routine approach. This may seem daunting but holds great promise.

Gemini 22 May - 21 June... Our belief systems can be the foundation of our identities, even if they can change over time. The planets are asking you today just to check in with some of yours, and ask: are they ripe for an upgrade? It's not for anyone else to adjudicate this, but if you can take a step outside of yourself and scan the big picture, it may be that you are drawn towards a refreshed version.

Cancer 22 June - 23 July... Benevolence takes many forms, and whether yours shows up in looking out for family members, animal rescue, or keeping an eye on someone next door who is older or unwell, it's part of you. Equally, this is a time when your values, the foundation stone of our lives, may see a shift. It's not that this will happen speedily, but how you view resources can change.

Leo 24 July - 23 August... As the Sun in Leo meets with the potent South Node, this can be an incredibly transformative time in your life. For as much as the cluster of players in the sign of the Lion can see you strut your stuff with added pizzazz, if you are a little too focused on your internal needs and situation, there may be an opportunity for connection and cooperation that speeds by.

Virgo 24 August - 23 September... For eighteen months, full-time, the influential Pluto has been nudging you towards changing your approach to fitness, nutrition, diet, exercise, rest and routines. If you have embraced this, you're likely to see some promising results. If you do a job, however, that you feel unsatisfied in, today's Sun/North Node link asks you to be bold and break free if it no longer inspires.

Libra 24 September - 23 October... Of all the zodiac signs, you have an appreciation of what's gained by working collaboratively. In recent times, you may, though, have wondered if this has seen your talents overshadowed. And you are right to be conscious of this. As much as your goodwill is an asset and helpful, showcasing your brilliance is equally essential, as the next eighteen months can show.

Scorpio 24 October - 22 November... When we are very young, expectations, boundaries and rules shape our future connection to the world. These can be imparted thoughtfully and protectively, or can come more from the demand to conform, and to fit in with well-established traditions. Over time, we can learn to find our own way. Today, you get a chance to get a closer connection to your true values.

Sagittarius 23 November - 21 December... Knowledge per se doesn't relate to insight. There are those who can recite Greek and Roman literature, and use wit and intellect to make their points, but lack empathy and sincerity. Information can be exchanged rapidly today, and you may encounter someone who is indeed very bright. But keep on keeping on with what defines your way of sharing your ideas, Archer.

Capricorn 22 December - 20 January... The Sun's meeting with the South Node today is highlighting areas where you have become very skilled and relied on established methods to achieve results. Yet the North Node in Aquarius asks you to consider whether there are new approaches, technologies or connections which could make life easier. Some of your key values can also be ripe for review.

Aquarius 21 January - 19 February... For the first time in over eighteen years, you have a unique opportunity to reflect on your role in relationships and wider groups. You have a natural instinct to think of the collective, but today's vibes remind you that your own needs and creativity also matter. Balancing being available to others whilst celebrating your individuality is the key here, Aquarius.

Pisces 20 February - 20 March... There can be times when we are so focused on being helpful, adaptable or supportive that we overlook our own personal journey. Today, as the Sun in Leo and the Nodes of fate interact, they encourage you to look at what has become routine in your daily life, and whether it still reflects who you are becoming. A subtle shift now can help you feel more aligned and inspired.
