The late, great Nick Drake sang about a Pink Moon. His songs are known to bring great comfort to people who feel vulnerable. His music has helped me to discover a fragile beauty in sadness; and over the years I've formed friendships with others who feel the same way about his work. The legacy of the Pink Moon's link with Pluto indicates that support is available. Even if circumstances seem particularly challenging, if we reach for help, it will materialise from out of the blue.

This world is the merry-go-round that never stops turning. It spins as it circles endlessly round the sun. The passengers who come aboard for the ride never know how long it will last. All we can be sure of is that, though the journey will go on, we won't be a part of it forever. That, all on its own, is a reason to make the most of each moment and to make sure we're comfortable. The conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus is urging you to look at what you put up with and to change whatever you no longer feel able to accept. If you want to, you can.

ARIES

With Mercury reaching the end of its retrograde phase in your sign, this period of reflection is drawing to a close. You're entering a time when big decisions can be made. But there's no need to rush. You might be impatient to get things moving; yet it's by taking all your recent learning into careful consideration that you'll make faster progress. One important issue deserves more thought. In the legacy of the Pink Moon, if you share your ideas, you'll gain insight that shows you the right path to take, and the right time to take it.

TAURUS

You're interested in something (or someone). It/they tick lots of different boxes. But for some reason, you've decided it's impossible. But it's not. This dream could come true. Your wish could become your reality. Yikes! How would that make you feel? Happy (because you've got what you want)? Or disheartened (because what you thought you wanted doesn't bring you what you thought it would)? The legacy of the Pink Moon offers a different perspective. You might need to revise your vision. But don't panic. You can upgrade it.

GEMINI

"There's no way you can do that." "It might look possible... but it's not." "The person with the power to help you isn't going to get involved right now." You're keep running up against these (or similar) kinds of discouraging statements. Which is frustrating. But while we're edging closer to the end of your ruler's retrograde phase that's par for the course. Yet where it really counts, you've got the power and resolve to do what you need to do. The Pink Moon highlighted a path towards success. Have faith in yourself. And go for it.

CANCER

Someone in your world needs support. And you'd like to be able to help them. But despite your good intentions, your resources are limited - you're already dealing with more than you can really cope with. Plus there's a doubt, in the back of your mind, that they'll accept (or appreciate) your help. Yet despite your uncertainties (and your other concerns), you're in a surprisingly strong position. The Pink Moon's legacy paves the way for the kind of exciting, pleasing progress from which there can be no turning back. Stop hesitating!

LEO

'Give and take' is fundamental in any relationship. But no one wants to give more than they want just to hold onto something they shouldn't be in danger of losing. You feel that you've got to make a sacrifice or a compromise. Unsurprisingly, neither of these options feels good. Yet your willingness to act unselfishly is unconsciously affecting the situation you're caught up in. In the legacy of the Pink Moon, you might discover that either you don't need to take action. Or that whatever you do costs far less than you think. Phew.

VIRGO

With your ruler, Mercury, reaching the end of its retrograde phase, you're about to start seeing the results of your recent endeavours. But a word of caution; just because things are about to start to flow doesn't mean you can put your feet up and expect things to effortlessly unfold. With that attitude you risk failing to fulfil the potential of the opportunities coming your way. You need to keep fighting for what you believe/want. If you act on what you know to be true, and do what you know to be right, an overdue reward is guaranteed.

LIBRA

You're feeling surprisingly tetchy. Not only are you not in the mood to be told anything by anyone, you're finding reasons to question people's assumptions and argue with their reasoning. What's more, no one seems to be listening to your thoughts or willing to cooperate with your ideas. The good news is that as Mercury (in your opposite sign) prepares to change direction, this time of misunderstanding will pass. I know it's hard. But if you're patient, things will start to naturally move forwards in a good way.

SCORPIO

We have ways of making ourselves understood; even when we're in foreign climes we can find ways to ask for a cup of coffee. It's the art of sharing our deepest thoughts and feelings that proves more challenging - not just because of a language barrier either. When it comes to expressing our emotions, rather than being straightforward, we hint and suggest. Listen carefully to what someone is trying to say to you today. If you give them space to explore their emotions, they might share something that will benefit you both.

SAGITTARIUS

Is it better to be tough or thin-skinned? The answer is neither. If you're too hard, you risk becoming brittle. If you're too sensitive, you risk becoming delicate. And both these options end up making you vulnerable. In an ideal world, you'd be strong enough to deal with any challenges. And flexible enough to adapt. A mix of toughness and tenderness is exactly what you can access today. Whatever the details of the situation you face, the answer involves being firm and fair. If that's what you give out, it's what you'll get back.

CAPRICORN

Rather than talking today, try listening. Rather than thinking, try focusing on your feelings. As Mercury (intellect) slows before moving forwards, it's easy to look for logic in situations that are beyond explanation. And it's tempting to read too much into people's attitudes. There's a good chance you're struggling to talk yourself out of something you secretly believe to be true. So, try being as adaptable and open-minded as possible. And listen to your instincts. They're more in tune with what's going on than your thoughts right now.

AQUARIUS

Would you mind explaining yourself? What do you mean... you don't know what I'm talking about?! Everyone else seems to be in the picture. I don't mean to play with you... I'm just highlighting the fact that you feel like the only person who doesn't know what's going on. Which is making you think you've done something wrong. Wrong! If you don't want to get sucked into a silly drama, refuse to play along with a silly game. Ignore other people's attitudes. Whatever is bothering them, you're not the cause of the problem.

PISCES

You don't need to be physically stronger. Neither do you need to bolster your psychological muscles. All you've got to do is find the confidence to dismiss a negative thought pattern. Or access the resolve to quell an unhelpful habit. And you can easily do that. The Pink Moon marked a moment when you can change the direction of your life. And with the energy of dynamic Mars powering through your sign, if you set yourself a new course, you'll be able to stick to it, for many months to come. It's transformation time.
