There’s no way to avoid the realization that greater opportunities demand harder work. The Moon’s shift into sobering Capricorn replaces yesterday’s starry-eyed smiles with serious grimaces. Although responsible Saturn squares deceptive Neptune, offering escape routes for our consideration, there are no quick solutions to the current problems. Nevertheless, maintaining integrity enables us to gracefully navigate these complex waters.
Aries (March 21st – April 19th)
Frustration mounts if you aren’t measurably progressing toward your goals. Surprisingly, you may end up doing better than you expect as long as you respect other people’s boundaries. Karmic Saturn seeks stability, yet its stressful square to nebulous Neptune could bring discouragement if control of your own destiny slips away today, leaving you uncertain about your next move. A temporary retreat seems to be a smart idea now but if you want a lasting resolution, take responsibility for your own emotions instead of attempting to change anyone else’s.
Taurus (April 20th – May 20th)
You’re currently walking a fine line between the real and the ideal while limit-setting Saturn crosses paths with visionary Neptune. Steady growth is more likely if you stay on top of your obligations, but following through with your promises may not be all that easy now. The secret to success is graciously adapting to the shift from dreams to necessities. Be prepared to radically alter your approach as conditions continue to fluctuate. Sometimes you need to hold your ground and other times it’s best to go with the flow.
Gemini (May 21st – June 20th)
It’s nearly impossible to deny an underlying sense that something isn’t quite right, for you can feel the resistance every which way you turn. Nevertheless, you’re eager to assert your opinion if someone challenges your perspective. What begins as a bout of free-floating anxiety can morph into an unavoidable situation that requires you to make a tough decision. Remember, cosmic forces are always pulling you in two different directions. Maintaining your balance is easier if you work with the external influences instead of against them.
Cancer (June 21st – July 22nd)
Your responsibilities are in the process of change and it takes a lot of focus to keep up with them. It’s exhausting to fight against pressure from others, yet an uncomfortable Saturn-Neptune square reveals a significant difference of agendas. Conserve your energy for tasks you do well, rather than wasting time engaging in losing battles. Even if you’re not prepared to take a risk professionally today, at least let your imagination cultivate visions of a more rewarding career. According to Oprah Winfrey, “The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.”
Leo (July 23rd – August 22nd)
You may be dazed and confused today, but thankfully, clarity chases the clouds away later to give you a new purpose in life. A stressful square between accountable Saturn and hazy Neptune has you wondering if you are in a state of denial. Having the courage to question your direction is healthy, but don’t be surprised if your malaise grows the deeper you dig. You might find it an impossible task to get to the origin of your low spirits now. Keep calm and remember the words of Deepak Chopra, “Every great change is preceded by chaos.”
Virgo (August 23rd – September 22nd)
People seem to be misleading you today, even if they’re not doing it intentionally. Meanwhile, you’re so sure of your own position that you have little interest in negotiating or compromising with others. Nevertheless, the key to your success is blending authoritative Saturn’s certainty with intuitive Neptune’s vision. Let your imagination wander, even if you don’t see any pragmatic value to this daydreaming process. The distance between your most magical dreams and your future is called action.
Libra (September 23rd – October 21st)
Following your dreams may seem completely out of the question today. You struggle to strike a workable balance between spiritual pursuits and daily responsibilities, especially when taskmaster Saturn forms a conflicting square with escapist Neptune. Be careful how you express your annoyance or you may reveal more about your feelings than you ever intended. Using your smile to change the world is wiser now than letting the world change your smile.
Scorpio (October 22nd – November 21st)
A leak of confidential information might damage trust today, yet an overreactive Moon-Jupiter square makes it tough to keep secrets. Being honest is essential, but you may want to err on the side of discretion. A square between austere Saturn and delusional Neptune can put an end to a relationship built on illusions. There is an inevitable sadness in bursting bubbles, but it will allow you to move ahead with greater clarity. Psychologist Carl Jung wrote, “Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”
Sagittarius (November 22nd – December 21st)
There is a lot at stake today, yet you might not be able to get past your uncertainty about your career choices and how they impact your finances. You may discourage easily when fuzzy Neptune forms a discomforting aspect to ambitious Saturn in your sign. It’s exasperating when you can’t shake off lingering self-doubt. Although social activities act as a lovely distraction, they can’t replace your need for a meaningful existence. Change is everywhere, but you won’t get everything you want overnight. The seeds you plant now need time to grow and bear fruit.
Capricorn (December 22nd – January 19th)
Making careful choices leaves you with enough time and energy to jump on the right opportunity when it comes along. Your ruling planet Saturn squares spacey Neptune, complicating your efforts to turn your dreams into reality now. Nevertheless, the outcome of a current situation may not be apparent until after Mercury turns direct on September 22. What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Aquarius (January 20th – February 18th)
Reshaping your vision of the future to fit into your current reality can turn confusion into productivity. But even if you’re clear about your new destination, you still might have trouble paying for your journey. Materialistic Saturn is like an anchor that tethers you to your long-term plans, and its dynamic square to ephemeral Neptune can wear you out if you don’t handle your workload carefully. Don’t dream about your success; work for it.
Pisces (February 19th – March 20th)
our sensitive nature can sometimes leave you struggling to speak your mind because you don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. It’s even more complicated now that strict Saturn squares gentle Neptune, making it difficult to tune into other people’s emotions without feeling their pain. No matter how hard you work to balance necessity with compassion, remember, you can still take care of business while listening to your heart. When you cultivate empathy, you are in a position to take the lemons that life hands you and make lemonade.
