30 years ago, the first votes were cast in multiracial elections in South Africa. It was a dream that took too long to be realised, but it was a dream worth fighting for. As dynamic Mars prepares to converge with dreamy Neptune before it moves into Aries (its celestial home), it's time to consider what we can do to make our world a better, more beautiful and welcoming place. Fighting against the tide is challenging, but if we work together, and share our dreams, we can start to make it flow in the right direction.

ARIES
It should be easy to work out what's reasonable and what's not. But it's not. Throughout history, judges, leaders and rulers have done everything within their power to prove their wisdom. Which, when you think about it, was an unreasonable way to spend their time! We live in a crazy world. You're trying to be reasonable right now. And with Venus in your sign, you're doing a good job. So, if someone's trying to make you feel you're being unreasonable, ignore them. If it feels right to you, keep doing what you're doing.
TAURUS
The textbooks often describe members of your sign as being 'stubborn'. Really?! What planet are they on? You're hardly set in your ways. You're not famous for digging your heels in. Hmmm... come to think of it, maybe they do have a point! But your tenacity is a powerful tool. When it's directed towards a worthy cause or an important goal, it's priceless. You can put something wrong right today. Be as persistent and obstinate as you need to be. You've got the determination to encourage a change that will be of benefit to many.
GEMINI
The more important the issue you're dealing with, the calmer and cooler you need to be. Since the situation you're involved in matters (a lot), you might need to step back and view it from a different (lighter) perspective. Try acting as if you're not particularly bothered about the outcome. Not only will this put you in a stronger position to negotiate, it will give you the space to make good decisions. If you focus on the details, or worry too much about the consequences, you risk stifling your creativity. And you need that today.
CANCER
Within every single human (even the most authoritarian, sophisticated person you can think of) there's a tiny child. This part of us is vulnerable. All it wants is to be loved and cared for. But we're grownups. So we try to disguise these desires. And we get so good at it that we end up hiding them from ourselves. Your needs are simpler and more easily satisfied than you think. And as a sensitive Cancerian, you intuitively know what's right, and why it's right. If you trust your instincts today, things will work out delightfully.
LEO
Although Leos are known to be courageous, you're not gung-ho in your approach. And when it comes to traditions, and breaking them, you're more circumspect than might be expected. Which is why you're hesitating. Moving a particular plan forwards involves making a change that feels risky. And even if you're prepared to take the risk other people are implicated, and you don't want to rock the boat and cause them distress. Yet if you're sensitive, you can set an essential change in motion that works for everyone.
VIRGO
You can take steps to redeem an unhappy situation. Something that's been wrong, can be set back onto the right track. A bewildering situation can be clarified. And in the course of this transformative process a feeling of emptiness can be replaced with a sense of satisfaction. Your ruler's change of direction has a significant impact on your outlook. Somehow, it has influenced the way you feel and the way the cosmos responds to your needs. Now, it's ready and willing to help you to feel that what's happening in your world is right.
LIBRA
When we're determined and purposeful, no matter which direction we take we'll end up at the same destination. But if we've got no great desire, even with the fastest car on the road we might not get anywhere. With the energy available to you now, your best bet is to work out a clear strategy, and then implement it. If you know where you truly want to be, or the goal you want to reach, progress is guaranteed. The route might involve a few twists and contortions, but if you're in the right frame of mind, they'll be part of the fun.
SCORPIO
Who likes waiting? No one! Our lives are ruled by clocks and deadlines. We've got to be at certain places at certain times. We need to keep appointments and fulfil obligations. And to add to the pressure we create our own targets that we need to meet in order to feel productive. Yikes. You're in a rush. But as Mars moves towards dreamy Neptune, it brings the space to reconsider your plans and responsibilities. Your goal isn't as urgent as you think. And if you relax, you'll allow the cosmos to give you a welcome hand.
SAGITTARIUS
Can you identify the feeling of longing that's drawing you onwards? What's inspiring you to contemplate making changes in your world? These questions aren't easy to answer. When our subconscious is at work it's hard to find the words to describe what's going on; those deep yearnings are tricky to articulate. Which doesn't mean you can't be sensitive to them. As Mars moves to link with inspiring Neptune, trust that it's possible to change entrenched patterns and tired attitudes. If that's what you want to do, you can do it.
CAPRICORN
Since we're all bombarded by algorithms, it's getting hard to be open-minded. From advertisers and influencers, to politicians and activists, we're inundated by people trying to get us to buy, vote, petition, and give them our support. It's no wonder we get so entrenched in our ways! When we're sure about our beliefs, at least that stops the alternatives taking up too much of our time. But our self-defense systems can work against us. Be open to a possibility today. It might come disguised as something that's easy to dismiss.
AQUARIUS
The wheel is an extraordinary invention. How on earth did we manage without it? It's so simple it's hard to imagine why someone didn't think of it before. Likewise with the number zero. Believe it or not, Europeans only started using a symbol to denote a 'space' back in the 12th century. Creativity and inspiration are intangible qualities. Out of 'nothing' comes 'something'. And when we find the 'something' we can't believe we haven't always had it. Today, you're at your most inventive. A potentially life-changing discovery awaits.
PISCES
Sometimes things fall into place. We make plans and they work perfectly. Happy coincidences arrive. Serendipitous events seamlessly slot into our lives. We're 'in the flow'. But there are times when the opposite happens. And when everything that can go wrong does go wrong it's easy to think that nothing will ever go right. Yet both of these conditions - the good and the challenging, are part of our earthly experience. Today, as dynamic Mars moves to link with your ruler, Neptune, you can turn a situation on its head.
