249 years ago, the 'shot heard round the world' kickstarted the American Revolution. And this weekend, as Jupiter (principles and risk) links with rebellious Uranus, we might all feel called to claim our independence. But although the involvement of Mars heightens the voice of our inner rebel, changes can be gently implemented. By standing up for ourselves, in non-confrontational ways, we can nurture greater understanding and stronger connections. And that leads to more peace and more love.
In the olden days, to get a horoscope calculated for your exact date and time of birth, you had to be a member of the royal family. Only court astrologers cast birth charts. Now, we can all be kings and queens. A full, personal birth chart can't just tell you more about what (and who) you were born to be... it can list, in deeply valuable detail, every major challenge and opportunity that lies ahead for you over the next few months. If you're wrestling with a tricky choice - or if you want to make more of your potential. Click here!

The definition of 'success' is more complex than we think. It involves much more than achieving an ambition. There are lots of examples of people who are successful - but the amount of happiness their success brings them isn't easy to quantify. And if the completion of a project doesn't bring us joy, can we truly call it 'successful'? This weekend's encouraging cosmic climate might not bring you everything you want it to bring. There might be some surprises. But it will leave you feeling pleased... and successful!
TAURUS
Some people dislike change so much that they do everything possible to lead a quiet life. But life always has other plans. Just when we think we've got everything sorted, unexpected factors pop up. Now, whether you like surprises (or not), with Jupiter and Uranus meeting in your sign this weekend, if I were you, I'd prepare for a surprise or two. But since this is an inspiring cosmic climate, you can expect them to be positive, even transformational. This is an opportunity to create the kinds of change you've only dreamed of.
GEMINI
Although you don't think of yourself as having a warrior-like approach to life, you're blessed with a deep determination. And this weekend, as Jupiter and Uranus link, you're ready to fight for what you believe in. Great! But to make maximum use of the cosmic energy, don't you need some help? Single-handedly, will you have as much impact as you would with an army of supporters? If no one's volunteering, it might be because you haven't fully explained your idea. If you talk and listen to people you trust, they'll get on board.
CANCER
If you're looking for change, you're in the right place! This weekend, as Jupiter and Uranus meet, change is looking for you. Your job is to make sure it knows that you're ready and willing to jump on board and ride its waves of opportunity. Sometimes, we only want change if it's on our terms; yet although it can be open to negotiation, it doesn't like to be bossed around. So, if you're ready to lead a life that's distinctly different, just make sure that your ideas about the 'right' kind of difference aren't too fixed. Go with the flow!
LEO
Is the build-up to this weekend's auspicious cosmic climate responsible for your lack of sleep? Could the scent of adventure be interrupting your slumbers? Is the thought of positive change and exciting discovery pumping your adrenaline levels? The Jupiter/Uranus link holds much promise. But it comes with a word of warning. There's a chance you could push your luck too far. Or try to milk a minor opportunity for more than it can give. To maximise the potential coming your way, don't be tempted to bend the rules too far.
VIRGO
The difference between 'what if' and 'if only' is massive. When we ask 'what if' we're constructing a positive line of enquiry. If we keep asking it, we can build a plan that leads to success. 'If only', on the other hand, is an expression based on regret. It implies that we're unhappy about elements of the situation we're dealing with. If you don't want to regret not taking advantage of this weekend's opportunities, focus on the 'what ifs'. A positive mindset will enable you to profit from the surprising gifts Jupiter and Uranus bring.
LIBRA
Suppose this weekend's brave step kickstarts a trend that can't be turned back? If you find yourself in possession of Pandora's box, should you open it? Who in their right mind throws a spanner into the works? Or rocks a boat that's sailing on calm waters? Yet whether (or not) you're ready for change, it's ready for you. The tide is turning. So you need to make sure you've got an appropriate vehicle, and get ready for an adventure. Be bold. Fortune favours the brave. And there's lots of good fortune around you this weekend.
SCORPIO
Yesterday, we were saying that the definition of insanity is more complex than it sounds. Sometimes, repeating something over and over again brings positive results. Actually, repeating a process demonstrates optimism! If we don't think we're able to change things for the better, we're miserable! And sometimes we have no option but to repeat an exercise and hope for the best. Which doesn't mean there isn't always an option to walk away. But that's not an option for you this weekend. The skies bring positive possibilities your way.
SAGITTARIUS
You know that feeling when you wake up from a lovely sleep, but you're still not fully conscious? You drift and doze. You might even dream that you're up and about, when you're still tucked up under the duvet. When you actually get out of bed, you might have to do the things you dreamt you were doing while you slept! As your ruler Jupiter links with Uranus, you might feel familiar with the events this weekend brings. But you recognise them from your dreams. Now, they're real. Invest yourself 100% in what's unfolding.
CAPRICORN
In our dreams relationships are easy. But even people who stay solo and attach themselves to inanimate objects (like cars/houses) are privy to moments of frustration. So it's hardly surprising that when we're attached to a 'thing' that happens to have a mind of its own (not to mention emotions) it can be challenging. Just because someone in your world is going through a process of change isn't a reason to panic. Au contraire. Keep on loving them. This weekend brings proof that the change of dynamic is exciting and positive.
AQUARIUS
Is there really more knowledge to acquire? Do you really need to keep investing your energy into various projects and plans? Surely you've done enough to be able to put your feet up? No? Maybe this is the weekend when you can. But the reality is that being industrious and acquiring new skills makes you happy. And the good news is that the cosmos is bringing experiences brimming with new opportunities to learn and grow. If you're on a quest for happiness, as Jupiter links with your ruler, it brings a real chance to find it.
PISCES
We don't need to know the ins and outs of someone's past in order to like them. Great friendships start with a mutual interest, and build over time. And it's through sharing experiences (the good and bad) that helps us forge lasting bonds. There's no need to analyse these relationships. True, they need effort and understanding; but when the commitment is heartfelt, it takes care of itself. This weekend's auspicious skies bring a chance to deepen a connection in a powerful way. Just be yourself.
