A warm hello.
Mars is about to join the Sun in Scorpio – this is an intense Sign of the Zodiac and in the area of your life where it applies, your emotional commitment or ambition will grow; this should also bring a surge of action and challenging conditions.

The Moon is in Leo now but as it moves through Virgo in days ahead, this should be positive and productive.   There may be situations that require thoughtful attention to details too but diligence should pay off!

Now let me draw your attention to the planet Mercury – it forms strong planetary connections in the next 7 days which promise an exceptional communication opportunity.

​ARIES.   A surge of financial business will bring complex issues to the fore; there’ll be action and progress but also stress; to stay on top you’ll need to do your research, be thorough and work through the challenges or pressures with clear purpose and staying power.   Achievements on the job will do you proud; mutual respect will expand a work connection too.   A heart-to-heart with someone close will be an opportunity to clear the air or cultivate a relationship that’s a work in progress.
TAURUS.   Family duties and promises to others will expand over the next few weeks into big commitments; old or simmering frustrations may also surface.   Stepping up, seeing them through and working through emotional issues or differences as you go will grow your relationships.   A special invitation or outing will be a joyful highlight.   An informative work or health conversation will hold valuable advice.
GEMINI.   Growing responsibilities on the job will be taxing but they’ll enable you to spread your wings and make a name for yourself; be prepared for awkward requests and challenging job conditions too.   A health or fitness goal will call for a bigger commitment.   A domestic project or working bee will make home more comfortable; a good deal with a domestic purchase will put a smile on your face.   A loving exchange will build a bridge that spans the generation gap with another and some very different points of view.
CANCER.   You’ll throw yourself into special plans with loved ones in the coming 7 days, fun social occasions and celebrations, you may also tackle a special project with someone dear that just keeps growing.   Good news, or contact from someone that’s uplifting will put you on a happy high   A family discussion will be a chance to set the record straight with a matter that goes way back.
LEO.   A family undertaking will grow in the next 7 days, special commitments will ask a lot of you, family issues will draw you in and visitors could beat a path to your door; a domestic project that’s hard work will surge ahead too!   A practical new possession or helpful gift will make life easier.   An enlightening conversation will point the way with fun but important plans.
VIRGO.   A project that’s a big experience will be exciting but challenging; costing it, planning ahead and staying on top will take strong organisation and follow through.   Going further afield will tax your energies.   You will be in the right place, at the right time for a providential encounter or opportunity.   A financial discussion will help you make a big decision.
LIBRA.   A bold, expensive financial undertaking will stretch your resources on every level; there’ll be all kinds of arrangements with others to sort out.   News you’ve been waiting on will be worth its weight in gold.   A conversation only you can initiate will be a chance to clear up some unfinished business.
SCORPIO.   With Mars and the Sun in your Zodiac Sign, you will be a driving force, an agent for change and success!  Much will come down to you - how hard you push, goals you want to achieve and how you handle stressful but go-ahead conditions.   A fortuitous encounter will be most helpful.   A conversation long overdue will be a chance to ask questions or say something you’ve wanted for a long time.
SAGITTARIUS.   This Mars, Sun accent indicates 2 themes unfolding at once – a slow moving task or issue that’s taking forever to complete and big plans for the future – both will require patient, focused follow through.   Attention to details with a long-term goal will have long-term benefits.   An opportune moment for a conversation you’re keen to have will suddenly appear.   A new connection could grow.
CAPRICORN.   With Mars and the Sun here in your 11th house, you’ll pour energy into cultivating new contacts and friends, embrace fun exciting plans and pursue special personal endeavours that mean a lot to you.   Timely news will hold valuable information.   A welcome discussion with a knowledgeable colleague will answer a string of questions, it will be a team building exercise too.
AQUARIUS.   This is your career and direction zone!   The sun and Mars here will bring opportunities to achieve, show more of what you can do and climb the ladder of success.   Dotting every I’ with a financial issue or enterprise will be profitable.   A communication breakthrough will bring revelations; you’ll finally understand a difficult situation or very different point of view.
PISCES.   Travel plans will rev up and plans with a distant friend or relative will gather momentum.   The chance to reset a relationship will take thoughtful efforts through word, deed or making the most of conditions in the moment.   An eye-opening financial discussion will guide you with an important decision or complex issue. 

A warm hello.
With Venus accented this week, we’ll want to ‘feel the love’ – through acknowledgements from others, kindness, appreciation, acceptance or approval.
Conversely, there’ll be situations where others are seeking love, approval, appreciation or kindness from us.
‘Giving’ will start the cycle and bring back more of the same to us.
Wishing you joy,
Karen

Look into your heart – finding peace will give you direction and coming to come to terms with what you can’t change will set you free.
Wishing you joy,
Karen

A warm hello.  
n the next 7 days, the Moon will join Venus in Sagittarius – this should bring a loving, sentimental, emotional highlight.   (After sunset, it will be a beautiful sight in the western sky.)  
Also, the cluster in Libra – the Sun, Mercury and Mars - will continue to bring a concentrated, demanding situation or theme in our lives.

A warm hello and welcome to our new weekly format.
As the next 7 days unfold, the Moon will travel through Leo and Virgo to a New Moon in Libra.   You can see the build up in this one corner of the sky – the Sun, Mercury, Mars and the New Moon will all be in Libra.  
The New Moon means a new beginning and in Libra it means a new situation, project or chapter with another or a new relationship.
Mars in the mix will bring fiery issues to work through or conflicts of interest to balance; it will also bring an intense focus or surge of action.
So here’s how it will play out for you…

ARIES.   All this planetary emphasis on relationships goes double for you – it is in your 7th house, YOUR relationship zone!   An important event change or opportunity for someone close will require energetic support.   You’ll pour energy into demanding commitments with loved ones, sorting out a contentious issue with another, shifting a difficult relationship onto a new footing and/or building an important new relationship.   This is a time when you’ll need to see and understand some very different points of view.
TAURUS.   You’ll pour energy into labours of love for family members and nurturing positive relations on the job – an ambitious project will be a strong mutual focus, you’ll also reconnect with someone you used to work, cultivate important new connections, bridge differences with a colleague or client and learn from a knowledgeable associate.     A health pursuit will take a vigorous effort too; it will bring valuable information and guidance.
GEMINI.  You’ll throw yourself into special plans with loved ones – catching up, sharing special moments, heart-to-hearts and doing fun and meaningful things.   Your children will need plenty of attention; it will take thoughtful listening to bridge the generation gap but it could bring breakthroughs in communication!   A creative project or pursuing a special personal interest will be an opportunity to build connections with kindred spirits.   Singles, there could be a passionate new romance.
CANCER.   There’ll be an intense focus on family relationships – you’ll do your best to encourage and support a family member with a new endeavour or important change, a family event or project will ask a lot of you, a family situation may generate a few tensions, you’ll need to mediate differences between family members and be the guiding force with an ambitious domestic project.
LEO.   Relations with a distant relative, friend or in-law will take a new turn – there’ll be increasing communication and exciting plans will take shape but awkward details could cause little differences.   A grand personal project will expand your contact and communication with others – you’ll meet knowledgeable, helpful people or be inspired by exciting ideas and possibilities.    A change of scene or exploring new places will also bring fascinating, informative encounters and discoveries.
VIRGO.   This emphasis is on your money house.   Working out a financial plan or arrangements with others will be a key focus; clarity all round will set it up for success.   You’ll splurge on expensive items but there may be additional costs that require closer scrutiny.    Keep your cool when negotiating deals or addressing financial differences with others, to facilitate a successful outcome.   The devil will be in the details when it comes to clearing up unfinished business; they will test your patience.
LIBRA.   With Mars, the Sun, Mercury and new Moon in your Zodiac Sign, you will be a focus of attention, you’ll also be a driving force for change: to get new ideas and plans off the ground, you’ll stand up for something you believe in and friends or associates will reach out to you.   A conversation a long time coming will shed light on a matter you want to know more about.   Watch a tendency to tread on toes!
SCORPIO.   There’ll be so much percolating behind the scenes – big plans for the future will grow, slow-moving unfinished business may be stressful but there will be progress, there’ll be an old problem or difference with another to tackle anew and unspoken issues you’re overdue to address.   Keep sight of your end goals because this is the time to set your course!   Take a little extra care health-wise too.
SAGITTARIUS.   This month will bring joyful encounters, exchanges or experiences, fun plans will unfold, you’ll enjoy meeting interesting new people, you’ll cultivate new contacts, a new friendship could gather momentum and fun times will refresh a tired relationship.   A lucky break will offer a special opportunity.   The cost of something fun may be expensive though; you may need to reconsider your options.
CAPRICORN.   Get set for a huge month!   In your career or with an ambitious personal enterprise, this is your time to prove your worth, show what you can do and get ahead.   It will also be up to you to forge important new connections on the job, develop influential associations, bridge differences with some colleagues and to embrace big tasks, hefty responsibilities and tough challenging conditions with gusto!
AQUARIUS.   This is your time to spread your wings!   New horizons will beckon with a move, getting out and about more, or embracing a project or interest that brings a wealth of new people into your life along with new ideas, possibilities and experiences.   Travel plans or plans with a distant relative will take exciting shape.   Also, relations with a distant relative will take a new course.
PISCES.   The New Moon and all the Libra emphasises financial matters for you – you could set up a new financial arrangement, embark on a financial project with a loved one, you’ll pour energy into resolving complex financial issues, there may also be large outlays or a costly undertaking that has a few frustrations along the way.   Emotionally, you’ll shift gear – a realisation or decision will help you deal with a sensitive personal situation.
