Wake up to what you can do to turn your dreams into reality

Why do crows have such a bad reputation? They’re often seen as the harbingers of doom or problems to scare away. Yet these intelligent, communicative birds can form lasting relationships and solve complex problems. Similarly, Saturn’s reputation could benefit from some positive PR. As it enters sensitive and imaginative Pisces, with the crow moon lighting its way, it exerts a sobering influence. And it’s encouraging us to wake up to what we can do to turn our dreams into reality.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20)

You’re an empathetic Piscean, which can make it hard to work out whether you want what you want because you want it, or because someone else wants it, or because you want what someone else wants… or because you want what they think you want. It’s confusing! Fortunately, with Saturn, the cosmic teacher, about to enter your sign, this week brings clarity of vision and depth of understanding. Not only will you have a clearer sense of your own needs, you’ll be able to take practical steps towards making your dreams come true.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20)

You’re right to be wary of the unknowns and the ambiguities of your current situation. And you’re right to think that if you just carry on doing what you’re doing there will be consequences. But you can’t do nothing. So be guided by your intuition this full moon week. Just because so much is uncertain doesn’t mean you can’t make an informed choice about the best way to proceed. Since you can either go with your own instincts or let someone talk you into going with theirs, trust your own ideas. They’re more than good enough.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21)

The problem with other people is that they’re not the same as us. For all of their good intentions they can’t help but only see their own point of view. It’s so infuriating! (And, of course, other people face the same challenge with us.) We end up investing huge amounts of our precious time trying to negotiate mutually satisfactory plans. If a relationship with a certain other person has been feeling strained recently, it’s about to improve. Happily, the full moon enables you to see things from their point of view, and vice versa.

What do the stars hold for you this week?

GEMINI (May 22 - June 22)

Yes, your life is hectic and demanding. But that’s what you get when the power planet Mars is in your sign. It’s been there so long you’d think you’d be used to it. Yet, even though you’re spinning so many plates you could join the circus, you’re managing – and managing better than you think. The good news is that this week’s full moon brings a boost of intuitive oomph that enables you to deal, once and for all, with a situation that’s been zapping your energy.

CANCER (June 23 - July 23)

There are clubs for all sorts of people with all sorts of interests and habits. So surely there must be a club for martyrs? If so, you have all the experience you need to join it. Not only would you feel at home, there’s a good chance you’d find yourself in better company than the company you’re currently keeping. Don’t allow anyone to take advantage of your generous nature this week. Use the full moon energy to create clear boundaries and give yourself some self-care time.

LEO (July 24 - August 23)

You don’t need to be a neurophysicists or a member of Mensa to make the right decision this week. You just need some input from the intuitive voice of your heart. Listen to it, trust it, follow it and see where it leads. It’s unlikely it will take you on a path that doesn’t feel right. But if it does, you can override it with your mental faculties. The full moon energy indicates that the way to make pleasing progress involves less thought and more instinct. How will you know if your thinking is too wishful? You won’t need to answer that question!

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23)

With the full moon in your sign, this week focuses on love and relationships. You’re naturally good at dealing with the nuts and bolts of everyday life, and with this lunar energy focusing on your spiritual side, you’ll find creative ways to deal with pragmatic issues in ways that open your world to other people’s input. Although you can’t expect everything to “go with the flow”, at least one source of stress will dissipate. Prepare to feel more loved, more secure, more supported – and much more comfortable about the near future.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23)

Some sofas are badly designed. No matter what position you try, it’s impossible to get comfy. The more you wriggle, the lumpier it gets. In a similar way, some situations are uncomfortable. You’ve been making a concerted effort to adapt and adjust. This full moon week brings a radical way of assessing a tricky situation and changing it. As long as you listen to your strongest feelings, and wait for the right moment, you’ll find an opportunity to make yourself feel more at ease.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22)

We’re social creatures. We want to be wanted. We love to be loved. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s just sometimes we try too hard. We give way in areas where we need to stand firm. And sometimes, for some bizarre reason, we do the exact opposite; sensing that we feel vulnerable, and conscious that we could be taken advantage of, we put up huge inner barriers that effectively keep out people who love us and want to help. Relax and trust this full moon week. Be open-hearted, and good things will come to you.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21)

It’s impossible to really hate someone unless you’ve loved them. We need to share quite a lot in common before we really start to feel irritated. If we’re too different, we’re not likely to annoy one another. Which makes you wonder why dating websites make such a fuss about “shared interests”. Real understanding is beyond understanding; it can exist between people who don’t speak the same language. Yet it can fail to occur where you might expect it. You can’t manufacture it this week, but you can strengthen a connection.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20)

We all know “there’s no use crying over spilt milk”. Yet surely it depends where the milk has been spilt? If someone dropped some behind your sofa a few weeks ago and “forgot” to tell you, the smell might well make you feel like crying! You’ve been dealing with an unpleasant situation from your past. It’s taken both ingenuity and hard work to clear up someone else’s mistake. This full moon week, as your ruler, Saturn, moves into a new celestial home, you’ll be able to complete this process and relax. Life is about to smell sweeter.

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19)

We think that there are more questions than answers. But suppose it’s the opposite? Maybe we have to keep asking questions until we find one that fits the answer we’ve been given? We can apply the same logic to the decisions we face. Some psychologists say that every time we make a choice we have to make 10 more. Most of the time, though, we’re too busy dealing with issues we have little (or no) influence over to ponder these complicated issues. But this full moon week brings an excellent option – don’t think about it, take it.
