— 21 March to 19 April

Mercury meets Jupiter in your sphere of home and foundations — what you name about your roots, the ground you speak from, wants to expand today, perhaps past its true size. Say it, but weigh it. Venus in your sphere of joy and self-expression opposes Pluto in your sphere of community, exact: what you make meets the question of whose approval you're really making it for. By evening the first-quarter Moon in your house of partnership opposes Saturn in your own sign — the day's one cold edge falling on the line between you and another: a limit, a no that won't be charmed. Mercury's shadow is underway; what surfaces now returns at the retrograde from the 29th.

The question to sit with. What are you expressing for its own truth, and what for the room's reaction?

Intuitive counsel. What rises from genuine interior truth holds under today's pressure. What was made for effect will not.

— 20 April to 20 May

Mercury joins Jupiter in your sphere of mind and communication — what you think and say swells today, generous but easily larger than the truth of it. Speak, but measure. Venus in your house of home and roots opposes Pluto at the peak of your chart, exact: what gives you comfort meets what the world demands you become, and the two pull hard against each other. By evening the first-quarter Moon in your house of work and routine opposes Saturn in your sphere of the hidden — a quiet limit surfaces from somewhere you'd rather not look. Mars sits in your own sign all day, unhurried; you hold your ground, and that is the strength on offer.

The question to sit with. Where am I softening a hard truth just to keep the day comfortable?

Intuitive counsel. Say the smaller, truer thing. It will outlast the larger, easier one.

— 21 May to 20 June

Mercury, your own ruler, meets Jupiter in your sphere of worth and resources — your sense of what you're owed, what you hold, what you're worth, expands today, perhaps past its real measure. Name it, but weigh it. Venus in your house of communication opposes Pluto in your sphere of belief and horizons, exact: a lighter word meets a deeper conviction, and you feel which one actually governs you. By evening the first-quarter Moon in your house of joy opposes Saturn in your sphere of community — the thing you'd express freely meets a cooler reception. The beginning you seeded at the New Moon in your own sign a week ago is being tested now, not tended.

The question to sit with. Is this mine to say, or am I saying it to be received well?

Intuitive counsel. What you began for yourself still stands. Don't trade it for applause.

— 21 June to 22 July

The Sun enters your sign today and your season begins — and Mercury meets Jupiter right there with it, in your house of self. What you feel about who you are swells today, warm and a little inflated; let it rise, but don't mistake the size of the feeling for the size of the truth. Venus in your sphere of worth opposes Pluto in your house of intimacy and shared depths, exact: what you value meets what you've entrusted to someone else, and the question of power beneath it. By evening the first-quarter Moon in your house of home opposes Saturn at the peak of your chart — the pull between the private self and the public one sharpens into a clear limit.

The question to sit with. As my season opens, what am I actually ready to be seen as — not perform as?

Intuitive counsel. Begin from what is quietly true. The visible version can wait until it's earned.

— 23 July to 22 August

Mercury meets Jupiter in your sphere of rest and the hidden — what stirs beneath the surface today is generous but hard to size; the inner voice speaks louder than usual and overstates its case. Listen, but don't act on it yet. Venus, in your own sign, opposes Pluto in your house of partnership, exact: what you want, how you shine, meets another's hold on it — and the question of who's really in control. By evening the first-quarter Moon in your house of communication opposes Saturn in your sphere of belief — a cool fact meets a cherished idea. Mars climbs toward the peak of your chart; ambition builds slowly, so let it.

The question to sit with. Am I drawn to this because it's true, or because it would be seen?

Intuitive counsel. The quiet you've been avoiding has the clearest information. Sit in it before you move.

— 23 August to 22 September

Mercury, your own ruler, meets Jupiter in your sphere of community and hopes — what you imagine for the collective, the future you name aloud, expands today, perhaps past what's real. Dream it, but weigh it. Venus in your house of the hidden opposes Pluto in your sphere of work and routine, exact: a private longing meets the hard daily structure of your life, and asks to be reckoned with. By evening the first-quarter Moon in your house of worth opposes Saturn in your sphere of shared depths — a limit appears around what you hold and what you owe. The themes rising now return at the retrograde from the 29th.

The question to sit with. What am I wanting in private that my daily life keeps quietly refusing?

Intuitive counsel. Don't perform readiness. Let the real state of things be the thing you work from.

— 23 September to 22 October

Mercury meets Jupiter at the peak of your chart — what you say about your work, your standing, your direction, swells today, generous but easily oversized. Speak it, but measure it. Venus in your sphere of community opposes Pluto in your house of joy and self-expression, exact: what you make for its own pleasure meets the crowd's pull on it, and the question of whose approval shapes it. By evening the first-quarter Moon in your own sign opposes Saturn in your house of partnership — the day's cold edge falls right on the line between you and another, and the Moon's first test this cycle is yours to meet directly.

The question to sit with. Where do I end and the other's expectation begin?

Intuitive counsel. This is your turning point, not theirs. Answer from your own centre.

— 23 October to 21 November

Mercury meets Jupiter in your sphere of belief and far horizons — a conviction, a teaching, a plan to expand your world grows today, perhaps past its true proportions. Hold it, but weigh it. Venus at the peak of your chart opposes Pluto in your house of home and roots, exact: your public face meets your private foundation, and asks which one is actually running things. By evening the first-quarter Moon in your sphere of the hidden opposes Saturn in your house of work — something unspoken sets a quiet limit on the daily grind. Mars settles into your house of partnership; let others move at their own pace.

The question to sit with. Is this belief mine, or one I've adopted to explain myself to others?

Intuitive counsel. What's true survives being examined. Examine it before you build on it.

— 22 November to 21 December

Mercury meets Jupiter, your own ruler, in your sphere of intimacy and shared resources — what you feel about closeness, trust, what you've entrusted, expands today, generous but inflated. Feel it, but weigh it. Venus in your house of belief opposes Pluto in your sphere of communication, exact: a cherished conviction meets a sharper word, and the power underneath the conversation shows itself. By evening the first-quarter Moon in your house of community opposes Saturn in your sphere of joy — what you'd express freely meets a cooler room. The beginning you seeded a week ago is being tested now, not tended.

The question to sit with. Am I speaking my truth, or defending my belief from being questioned?

Intuitive counsel. Let the conviction be tested. If it's real, the questioning only sharpens it.

— 22 December to 19 January

Mercury meets Jupiter in your house of partnership — what you name about the other, about the union, swells today, warm and easily oversized. Say it, but measure it. Venus in your sphere of shared depths opposes Pluto in your house of worth, exact: what you've entrusted to someone meets the question of your own value, and who holds power over it. By evening the first-quarter Moon at the peak of your chart opposes Saturn in your house of home — the public demand and the private foundation pull against each other, and a clear limit is set. Mars holds in your sphere of joy; build your pleasure slowly, without spectacle.

The question to sit with. In this partnership, what am I owed, and what have I quietly handed away?

Intuitive counsel. Name the imbalance plainly. The structure can only hold what's honestly stated.

— 20 January to 18 February

Mercury meets Jupiter in your house of work and routine — what you say about the daily grind, the service, the health of your days, expands today, generous but oversized. Speak it, but weigh it. Venus in your sphere of partnership opposes Pluto in your own sign, exact: another's desire meets your own deep self, and the question of who's really steering surfaces. By evening the first-quarter Moon in your house of belief opposes Saturn in your sphere of communication — a wide idea meets a hard fact, and the fact wins for now. This Venus–Pluto axis falls across your most personal ground; what you let another shape in you is the whole question today.

The question to sit with. Where have I let someone else's want become my own without noticing?

Intuitive counsel. Return to your own centre first. Decide from there, not from their pull.

— 19 February to 20 March

Mercury meets Jupiter in your house of joy and self-expression — what you create, what you make for delight, swells today, generous and easily larger than its true shape. Make it, but weigh it. Venus in your sphere of work opposes Pluto in your house of the hidden, exact: the daily surface meets the buried thing, and asks what's really driving the effort. By evening the first-quarter Moon in your sphere of shared depths opposes Saturn in your house of worth — a limit appears around what you hold with another, and what you're owed. The themes rising now return at the retrograde from the 29th; speak as though you'll meet your words again.

The question to sit with. What am I making for the joy of it, and what to avoid looking at something else?

Intuitive counsel. The buried thing is the real material. Let it surface; it's more honest than the performance.
