Jonathan is away. Your forecasts today are written by Eric Francis, creator of the excellent web magazine, PlanetWaves.net.

Over the next few days, many situations that seemed impossible will begin to work themselves out. This could be a chance to act as if all your worries are behind you, but to do only that would be an opportunity missed. Instead, look at how you have untangled the complex webs of your life. Be clear with yourself about what you have learned and what you want. Everything is possible, but sometimes more is possible than other times.

ARIES (Mar 21 - Apr 20)
An entire cosmos of possibilities is opening up, and the only risk you face is inventing limits that don't exist. There's no wall you can't walk around, no fence that doesn't have a big opening, and no coincidence that will not actually get you someplace interesting. The size of the opening or the encounter that shifts your course will not determine the importance of the destination. As this new phase of your life opens up, some of the biggest shocks or revelations will have minor results; some of the most subtle gestures or contacts will help you recreate your life yet again.

TAURUS (Apr 21 - May 21)
These may be some tense weeks for you, as Mars slows to a 'station' in your birth sign. I recognise that Taurus is going through what seems like a prolonged phase of constant testing. Both emotions and events associated with Mars changing direction are likely to bring a sense of release, but you're not quite there yet. You would, however, do well to ask about the exact nature of the tension in the air, and how you can work with it. Tension is energy, and this one seems to be about a contradiction between fear and desire. See if you can sort out those two experiences.

GEMINI (May 22 – Jun 22)
You're someone who puts a huge emotional investment into your work, and that personal quality is at a peak. But if you can practise just a little bit of detachment you'll allow a new kind of change to unfold, or rather, an important change to happen in a completely new way. There is a transition in effect, and it may be that someone seems uncomfortable with your role. In reality, the entire environment is changing; everyone's position is being reshuffled; but you're the one who's ahead of the game. Reassess things quickly when the time comes, and act accordingly.

CANCER (Jun 23 - Jul 23)
You would do well to adapt an entirely different approach to wellbeing. Small changes can have a significant effect on both your body and your psychic outlook. The thing you really need to remember is that both the body and the mind are flexible, adaptable entities, not the fixed and stagnant systems that low-brow science often makes them out to be. A simple change in your attitude can bring forth genuine miracles; right now, following your curiosity will lead you to the kinds of developments you've been trying to provoke for years.

LEO (Jul 24 - Aug 23)
You could be having a lot more fun, but it seems like a little emotional drama or health crisis is taking up some of your energy. It's one of those scenes where the more attention you pour in, the less you get out, so you might want to back off for a while and, in all truth and reality, let it run its course. This will happen soon enough. You are running a different course, and you'll soon discover that you have more pleasant things to occupy yourself with than any form of anxiety. What you start now will build in momentum – so ride on the most positive beam of light you can find.

VIRGO (Aug 24 - Sep 23)
I'm not guessing when I say that what you're thinking and feeling really does defy expression, but that's not a permanent state of affairs. As your home planet, Mercury, changes direction over the next few days, deep beneath the waters of Scorpio, you'll slowly find the feelings, then the ideas, then the words to understand yourself. At this point, your most effective medium of self-discovery is writing. There seems to be a contradiction dangling over your head, but the more time you spend in the inner room you've discovered, the more that paradox will offer a gift rather than a burden.

LIBRA (Sep 24 - Oct 23)
Someone may be using the logic, 'I gave up something and so should you'. But it's time to question this bit of psychological syntax. There are people for whom sacrifice is a way of life; a kind of religion. Not only is its basis in reality seldom questioned, but, as a result, alternatives are rarely considered. And that is the heart of the problem. So, rather than tearing down one form of logic, it's time to build up another. You'll need to experiment in the physical world, with your feelings, your senses, and the truly tangible kindness only you can give.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 - Nov 22)
Everything is changing and there is very little you can do about it. Or is there? Actually, you're being presented with a series of decision points, and they will safely arrive one at a time. But the first one is the most vital: that is – to remember what really is the most important to you. Then, act on it. You may feel hindered at the moment, you may sense that your feet are tied, and you may be experiencing more than a little frustration in a relationship. Don't worry, as long as you focus on what's the most meaningful, the world will turn.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23 - Dec 21)
A spectacular New Moon in your birth sign is finally allowing you to resolve an argument you've been having with God. You may even have come to doubt if your resolve, and your promise to yourself to remain positive in the face of petty adversity, was really the best point of view. Your doubts had been forming a curtain over the truth - and now, thanks to the new moon, that curtain can be drawn back. The least bit of courage will lead you to restore sincere faith in yourself, which at the end of the day is more important than faith in anything or anyone else.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 - Jan 20)
Yours is one of the most interesting zodiac signs because the inner you is so different to how you appear on the outside. At times, you even fool yourself and forget that your raging heart and complex soul reside deep beneath your excellently-tailored personality. There is, however, no longer anybody to impress. And this is finally a time when you can laugh at your fears. And you must, I propose, give yourself credit for your dreams. This is not a time to be practical. As you open up to feelings you never would have considered before, the world will move over and make as much room for you as you need.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21 - Feb 19)
Whether you choose to provoke progress or finesse it gently, you truly seem to be coming into your own where your creative enterprises are concerned. The miracle or lesson, as you choose, is that your visions really do materialise into something tangible. If you consider the progression logically, the implication is that ideas are something tangible and have the power to reshape your life and to some extent, those of everyone around you. Your energy is infectious in the most positive sense of the word. People will listen to you, so make sure you speak your mind.

PISCES (Feb 20 - Mar 20)
Do you consider yourself a leader? You're not quite the pushy type, and I doubt if you like being held up as an example. Pisces almost always finds its greatest success inadvertently, through a form of what some call luck, and most of all by feeling at least temporarily worthy of an opportunity you're presented with. At the moment, all of these are factors. You are indeed a kind of example; you do need to push a little; and some genuinely odd factor will provide an opportunity for you to recognise, without hesitation, what is all your own.
