Yesterday, we talked about setting things in motion. Previously, I'd mentioned the benefits of 'forest-bathing' - taking time in nature away from the hustle and bustle. How can these concepts work together? Forests show us how! International Dawn Chorus Day on the 5th of this month , celebrates the sound of birds greeting the Sun to mark the moment their day begins. As Venus (love) aligns with Saturn (discipline) and Pluto (mystery), we can appreciate what matters in our world, and work to have more of it.
Is your future set in stone? Or can you mould it, like clay, to create a new world that you really want to live in? The ancients believed that a horoscope was a key that open the locked door of a "sealed fate" into an open book of inspiring possibilities.

ARIES
With so many challenges facing our planet, making the world a better place is complicated. Working out what's wrong is easy. Working out how to make it right is hard. Complaining, without taking action doesn't help. Nor does moaning about things we don't like, but which are logical consequences of our reality. To make a difference we need to be objective and view problems from a wider perspective. Which is easier said than done! With your ruler in your sign, use your energy well. Direct it into a battle that's worth fighting for.
TAURUS
With your ruler in your sign, you're being encouraged to dream, and take action to make those dreams come true. It's a chance to lay the groundwork for lasting, positive change. If you get this right, you'll make easy, natural progress. The balance between pragmatism and idealism isn't easy to maintain. But you can do it. If you trust that you're being supported by a kindly sky, and are realistic about the effort your creativity will require, this journey will be satisfying, enjoyable... and successful. Be as inspired as you can be today.
GEMINI
Not all problems are fixable. Not all mysteries can be solved. It's frustrating, but sometimes, we just have to accept that things are the way they are. I'm not suggesting you're facing an impossible quandary. In fact, if you're expecting that your attempt to sort out a complicated situation will fail, you're wrong! Just use your powers of discrimination today. There's no point investing energy into a plan that won't succeed. If you focus on the one that seems to stand most chance of working, you'll make a choice that leads to progress.
CANCER
We all know people who love to criticise. They seem to enjoy throwing spanners into the works and pointing out why things are bound to go wrong. Luckily, most of us don't have such a negative mindset. The majority of humans are supportive and encouraging. As one of those people who go out of their way to help others, you're definitely in this category. So... if you need some extra support today, reach out and ask. You deserve some assistance. Someone in your world has useful knowledge they'd love to share.
LEO
You know those people who seem to get away with anything? Even when they make seriously bad decisions, things seem to work out well. It makes you wonder if their celestial helpers are more attentive than yours. But you're also supported by hardworking, generous angels. It's just that you don't tend to put yourself in a position where you need their help. But does that make you over cautious? Without going crazy and pushing your luck too far, trust in your cosmic assistants today. You can make a great gain.
VIRGO
You're viewing things from a different perspective. From your new vantage point, you're finding answers to questions you didn't realise needed asking. Since some of these discoveries are unsettling, you're experiencing a curious mix of frustration and elation. It's discombobulating. But it's OK. The process might be intense, but it's necessary... and good. You're moving, at speed, on a journey towards a new stage of your life. If you stay open-minded, and are prepared to be surprised, a breakthrough is possible.
LIBRA
You might not see yourself as a miracle-worker, but you are. In at least one key area of life, your experience and ability enable you to inspire exciting, positive change. So acknowledge your strengths. Do what you do best today. And don't worry about anything else. As long as you now focus intently on what you know to be right, you'll discover what you need to do. Your instincts are always good. With Mars now in your opposite sign, if your decisions are well-meant, you'll be able to transform a challenge into a success.
SCORPIO
Venus in your opposite sign has ignited a spark of optimism. It's highlighting a way forwards and providing the encouragement to boldly set forth. Which is exciting... but also a bit scary; it means abandoning another idea, which you've been intending to follow. Focusing on something else feels wayward. But you're not about to swan off towards an illusory idyll. You're in pursuit of something tangible. The cosmos isn't just encouraging you to be brave. It's going to support your courage. This opportunity can be life-changing.
SAGITTARIUS
Every culture has its own story about the creation of our planet. But even if you studied all of them, you'd be left with a mystery. Whether it all began with a big bang, or a creative force that shaped matter with its hands, we just don't know. And, since we don't know that, how can we be sure of anything? Life is full of enigmas and paradoxes. You're trying to solve a difficult question. It's frustrating because the answer will help you make a choice. But rather than focusing on the problem, let go and trust. The solution will unfold.
CAPRICORN
It's hard to know which path to follow. You've got a strong desire to pursue a long-held ambition, but your inner voice of reason is telling you it's impossible; that the odds are stacked against you and that your vision is illusory. Obviously, you don't want to waste your time. But that voice is coming from a place of fear. And you're a determined Capricorn. With your ruler, Saturn, in a powerful position today, stop doubting and start doing. If you banish those anxious thoughts, you'll find yourself on a path that leads to success.
AQUARIUS
I've been reading about the behaviour of ants. That might sound odd, but it's the time of year when they appear in my house. And I've discovered some fascinating facts. The colony's success relies on the individual members working together. They collaborate, communicate, and even sacrifice themselves in pursuit of the greater good. You definitely don't need to do the latter today! But many hands make light work. There's a chance you'll discover a new approach to a challenge. Share your ideas. Other people will benefit too.
PISCES
We're all on a journey into the future. Who needs to spend a fortune on a ticket to outer space when we've already got a seat on a huge spaceship?! And even though we can't change the pace, or the trajectory, our imaginations can take us anywhere we choose to go. Even our thoughts are anywhere but on the present. We think about where we've been and where we think we're headed towards, and forget to focus on the bit that makes the future happen! If you get the groundwork right today, you'll reach a great destination.
