A warm hello.

There is a partial Lunar Eclipse in Taurus this weekend - it will bring news or developments that clarify your priorities with an important or challenging issue.

Jupiter, strongly aspected in the next 7 days, will put a lot of emphasis on financial matters; there may be costs, paperwork or important issues to attend to.

Mercury conjunct Mars in Scorpio will bring intense conversations or debates; staying open to new thoughts and possibilities will bring discoveries and breakthroughs!

​ARIES.   The partial Lunar Eclipse in Taurus falls here: clarify the full cost of a special purchase, the conditions surrounding a large financial transaction, or the details of a complex financial matter, it will help you decide how to proceed.   Extra money will come in but outlays here, there and everywhere could take funds out again fast; a social outing will be expensive too, but it will be important to you emotionally.   An intense exchange could stir up a sensitive personal matter; see the big picture, to gain a new understanding.
TAURUS.   The partial Lunar Eclipse in your Zodiac Sign denotes that a special family occasion or commitment will focus your thoughts on what is most important in a relationship; an unexpected realisation will hit home.   An unusual financial decision will rest with you, there may also be a surprise financial gain.   A hot debate with someone close will highlight old differences; there’ll be something to come to terms with, so you can move on.
GEMINI.   The partial Lunar Eclipse falling here will draw submerged information to the surface; this will point the way forward with a simmering issue or challenging undertaking.   A long-term financial decision will require research; the more you learn, the more you’ll know how best to plan forward.   Discussing a health, diet or fitness pursuit, or an ambitious work undertaking, will require you to keep an open mind - a personal change may be necessary.
CANCER.   Here is the partial Lunar Eclipse: you’ll question what you really want from a favourite activity or a friendship; step back emotionally and you’ll see your options more clearly.   Fun or spontaneous spending could put dents in the savings.   An insightful discussion with one of your children, a younger person or someone who shares a mutual interest, will answer a lot of questions.
LEO.   The partial Lunar Eclipse falling here denotes a juggle with work and family commitments; you’ll have to choose your priorities thoughtfully.   The chance to buy an expensive item or to go ahead with an expensive undertaking will require a big financial decision.   A family discussion may be intense but enlightening; there’ll be new points of view and considerations to take into account with family or domestic plans.
VIRGO.   Here is the partial Lunar Eclipse: pushing towards a goal you’ve been working towards for a long time will be a priority; it may twist and turn but there’ll be a satisfying achievement.   A large outlay on legal business or travel plans will stretch the budget.   An informative discussion with a knowledgeable associate will bring important information and guidance with special new plans on the drawing board.
LIBRA.   The partial Lunar Eclipse denotes that you’ll need to review your priorities with an expensive undertaking or prepare for extra costs; a sensitive emotional issue will also need clear down-to-earth handling.   Attending to a complex financial matter, contract, tax or insurance will take a weight off your mind.   There’ll be a financial arrangement to negotiate as well; attention to details will serve you.
SCORPIO.   The partial Lunar Eclipse here in your relationship zone will bring a defining situation or occasion in a close relationship - it will reaffirm what’s most important to you.   Extra spending on loved ones, a family celebration or special project with someone dear will come from the heart.   A challenging discussion will be an opportunity to show where you stand on a matter you feel strongly about.
SAGITTARIUS.   Here is the partial Lunar Eclipse: clarifying your objectives with a work or health goal will help you handle it well.   Extra health costs or spending on special purchases for your job will achieve very practical goals; overtime or a bonus could bring in extra funds.   A discussion with another, that’s been brewing for a while, may be quite intense but it will be an opportunity to air old grievances; deal with this positively, to lay them to rest.
CAPRICORN.   With the partial Lunar Eclipse falling here, a special get-together will affirm how much this person or people mean to you; they may also surprise you with their news or plans.   Sudden extra costs with your children or other loved ones and fun outings or social activities could stretch the budget.   Interesting discussions with a helpful friend or contact will guide you with a fun personal interest or endeavour.
AQUARIUS.   The partial Lunar Eclipse here indicates unusual domestic or family tasks will ask a lot of you in the days ahead.   There may be extra costs with a domestic or family undertaking.   Discussions with a colleague will outline your duties on the job or new job conditions that you need to adjust to; stay flexible or there could be a clash.
PISCES.   The partial Lunar Eclipse could bring a turning-point for you: you’ll suddenly see ‘the lay of the land’ and what you need to do with a bold personal project, travel plans or plans with a distant relative; it will help you make some big decisions.   Financial information or advice may take you by storm; it will point the way with a contract or expensive plans.   Discussions that challenge you to think outside the square will open your eyes to exciting new possibilities.

​A warm hello.
