Aries ♈️
March 21 – April 19
This Saturn and Neptune cycle in Aries in your image zone, offers an escape with your name, hair, face, body, clothes, image, appearance, reputation and public face at this time. A second face online? A cosmetic surgeon? It all depends on what you want to do with your outer packaging. This is the gladiator cycle which comes quite naturally to you. Good gladiators stride out into the arena in their imagination before they even do it. You may be lurking online with a fake name or just escaping into the mirror, the selfie, the video camera at home – but it’s all about branding. A holiday from reality is part of it.

Taurus ♉️
April 20 – May 20
Chiron in Taurus in your branding zone is about to pair you off with a person who is remarkably different to you – but who is part of the whole image/appearance deal. Maybe they’re about to put your CV together. This may be your stylist or your publicist. Chiron is an outsider. So is this person. A maverick or renegade. Let them take you by the hand and show you who you could be. This may involve flab jabs or perhaps a different take on social media. Here’s the other outcome of this cycle: a wild experiment which has a great deal to say about your reputation. This relationship defines how you are seen – how the world talks about you, or pictures you, or ‘boxes’ you. Chiron says ‘Forget the rules.’

Gemini ♊️
May 21 – June 20
If you go back into this Uranus in Gemini image cycle with a new hairdresser, make-up artist, trainer, cosmetic surgeon – anything! – then you’ll know this person is fated, and special. He or she is your liberator. New freedom will now affect how you are seen. The portrait or profile will reflect that. There will be an evaluation process or judgement about the space you do, or do not, have. Uranus in your reputation zone can encourage you to shock others. In the process you sometimes shock yourself. This may already have happened, or you may be feeling it – before it happens. Just for the next few weeks, you’ll find that your own progress with a relaunch is dictated by your need, to be your own person.

Cancer ♋️
June 21 – July 22
Cancer, right now, fate will steer you into a vital financial one-on-one situation, where it rapidly becomes clear that if you and this man or woman want to make economic or property progress, you’re going to have to do it by taking apart the layers. The subtext may be unspoken. This is about power sharing. You may know each other very well (it’s your ex-wife and she wants you to sell the house – or it’s your father and he wants to talk numbers.) Or...you may know this other person only recently (it’s your bank teller and you need to close your account, but you’re dating). Either way, it’s time to work one-on-one now. If not, there may be an early 2027 moment of truth about control and politics between you.

Leo ♌️
July 23 – August 22
Friendship now is about giving and asking for new space. Try and come up with a map you can both follow! This may mean abandoning your own, independent, ideas about what works and what doesn’t. Both of you are coming from different places, which is why you must now do your best to invent a social or social media game plan which will suit both of you. For a few weeks now, there will be a big emphasis on autonomy within a group or social circle too. And that friend of yours is very much involved. Uranus in your solar Eleventh House is a bigger deal if you have Aquarius factors in your birth chart. If so, this is karmic. It relates to a friendship or group situation from 18-19 years ago, Leo. The wheel spins.

Virgo ♍️
August 23 – September 22
Chiron in your zone of foreign countries and foreign people is merely dangling a carrot in front of your nose (a trip, export, another accent) so you’ll be forced to learn high-level risk-taking skills - because that’s what Chiron is all about. Sure, it asks you where you want to go most with another culture – or how you want to transport yourself abroad, these days. However, it also encourages you to become an ace at hitting impossible targets, because in order to get what you want, you’re going to have to play with new rules. This involvement now may be financial (your discount trip to Europe depends on your relationship with the pilot) or it may have nothing to do with money, but a lot to do with your time.

Libra ♎️
September 23 – October 22
It’s quite true that money, property and business can bring out the maverick in people. They can trigger huge experimentation. Now, you must learn to make money, charity, valuables, property and business your excuse to become the greatest DIY accounting expert of all time. You’re about to discover your punk spirit via financial issues. You appear to have a mentor, guide or tutor. So, perhaps this is your new accountant, who you are intrigued to have discovered has a wild approach – or a gadfly of a lawyer, whose explanation of your family inheritance half makes you wonder if it’s possible. There is rather a lot at stake, because Chiron is now emphasising cash, houses, flats, possessions, tax, settlements, investments, debts, assets, loans, and all the rest – well into 2027 – after this start.

Scorpio ♏️
October 23 – November 21
You might think this period in your life is all about how rich or poor you feel, but it’s actually about the quality and depth of the freedom. If you both or all get it right now, that’s solid gold. Uranus in Gemini turns up with mother-son questions in trust funds, tax breaks and legacies. Husband-wife issues with a mortgage or divorce settlement are common (Bill Gates, come on down). The question of sexual attraction and money invites larger issues about space and independence. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that your assumptions about the numbers in 2027 are automatically correct. Uranus is about the unpredictable, the unusual, the unique, the unprecedented. All the U words! Flexibility is vital.

Sagittarius ♐️
November 22 – December 21
If you make a new partner of any sort now, this rather interesting man or woman could turn out to be of lasting importance in your life, teaching you about freedom in a duet. It all depends on how much you are prepared to give to each other, in terms of time, tolerance and tact. A true partnership (of any kind) is the prize (and it could be there for years.) It very much depends on a ton of space for both of you. A radically different new phase in an old duet can also begin now. Even if you’ve been with this person for years, destiny will throw you together in a revolution, so that you can join forces to pursue a new game.

Capricorn ♑️
December 22 – January 19
The real point of what you are both going through, in terms of your workload, is the freedom required on all sides. Do be flexible enough, and sensitive enough, to bend when you must – and go forward with them towards Independence Day when they’re ready. The revolution can be haphazard or managed. It’s about skill. What is now required is a combination of strength and sensitivity, telepathic understanding and clear communication. Not much then! This is especially true with people who do not understand your need for autonomy on a daily basis. It will take a lot of mind-reading and effort to sort that out.

Aquarius ♒️
January 20 – February 18
It’s amazing how Jupiter and the South Node in Leo teaches us about co-operation with a partner in this cycle. Just in case you think you’ve got the partnership (of any sort) understood from the start, you’ll hit days when it’s blatantly obvious that you’re up for more. So much more, in fact, that 2027 could be truly big. The Jane Austen dance card is an invitation to a mini-series, if you like. But your duet may not be romantic at all. First dates which end in sex are common on this cycle. So is bigger and better sex with an existing partner. The Seventh House, where your chart is lit now into next year, is all about seduction. This transit is associated with a complicated relationship which can become bigger. And better.

Pisces ♓️
February 19 – March 20
Pluto continues to emphasise your time alone and the control you find there. You will now find yourself in a relationship with yourself which transforms a religious plan, or a spiritual agenda you have. The psychic, psychological or soulful relationship with yourself, by yourself, may just hit a phase where everything is about willpower. Or you could begin a new kind of connection with someone, who enters your life at this time, to help you move forward on (say) a course in hypnosis or a move away from the Anglican church or towards Buddhism. This is the Twelfth House of dreams, angels, chakras, the aura, the subconscious mind, the psyche and the soul. Pluto asks you to find your mind gym and use it.
