On this day in 1773, Captain James Cook crossed the Antarctic Circle. He made history, but I only discovered recently that he also kept his crew healthy by ensuring they ate a balanced diet and had clean, ventilated quarters on the ship.
The Moon’s move through Virgo encourages healthy food and a tidy mind today.
And as the Sun in Capricorn meets Neptune, ruler of Pisces and the oceans, in a supportive sextile alignment, we are blessed with the kind of cosmic energy that can turn dreams into great feats.

ARIES
(March 21 – April 20)
It might be that dreams inspire us but action defines us. Deciding to make an idea happen can change our lives. Today, a harmonious connection between the Sun in Capricorn and Neptune stirs imagination and reminds you of what is possible. Don’t let self-doubt stop you from taking a step in a positive direction now, or waste time worrying about little problems that throw spanners in the works of your success. Long-term fulfilment begins with one small but significant move.

TAURUS
(April 21 – May 21)
Even birds must return to Earth from time to time. Flying requires the ability to launch from solid ground. Landing safely is as much a part of the process as soaring free. As an Earth sign, you know the importance of your connection to reality and recognise how essential it is to keep one foot on the ground. That doesn’t mean, though, that you don’t dream of flying high. Today, as the Moon in Virgo brings a touch of realism to your life, remember to make time for inspiration.

GEMINI
(May 22 – June 22)
When bees are doing their thing, they are in no rush. They hop between flowers but take enough time to pollinate future blooms. Ideas buzz around your mind today, thanks to the Sun-Neptune sextile. But as the Moon squares Jupiter in your sign, you may find yourself pulled in too many directions at once. Be patient and thorough. You are in the process of pollinating a great future but, if you don’t take your time now, you risk missing out on growing some wonderful fruits from your labour.

CANCER
(June 23 – July 23)
Not all successful combinations are obvious straight away. Wishful thinking and reality collide in the best possible way. The Sun-Neptune sextile invites you to nurture your dreams, while the Moon’s opposition to Venus and Saturn highlights where boundaries are needed. Mercury’s influence from Capricorn provides reassuring communication and a connection to Jupiter challenges you to work with what you’ve got. Speak openly and listen deeply; conversations you have provide ground for collaboration.

LEO
(July 24 – August 23)
Artists know that some of their best ideas remain in their heads. Creativity is a strange thing. Nobody has a magic wand that just makes things happen. Art takes work. It requires both an imaginative spark and fuel to forge something that lasts. It’s not every day that creativity meets practicality, but today is one of those days. The Sun’s sextile to Neptune sparks your imagination, while cosmic energy across the Earth signs provides fuel for your endeavours, helping you bring a vision to life.

VIRGO
(August 24 – September 23)
A VIRGO without a job to do will soon find a way to keep busy. Even when things are going well, there is usually a way to make them better. Sometimes, though, that means, like a laundry pile, your work is never truly done. Today, as the Moon in your sign highlights your skill at creating order from chaos, it also connects to retrograde Jupiter in Gemini. Beware of letting the little things distract you from the bigger picture. Keep focused, apply your magic and positive things will follow.

LIBRA
(September 24 – October 23)
Few things in life fit neatly into one category. Our relationships have a way of making things much more complicated. That’s what makes growth and healing such enormous work. If it were as simple as allocating memories and feelings to categories and closing the filing cabinet, achieving balance would be as easy as pie! Today, a Sun-Neptune Sextile works a little magic for your long-term future. Trust your ability to see what needs doing and to create harmony from complication.

SCORPIO
(October 24 – November 22)
I OFTEN advise people to ‘follow your intuition’. But sometimes it’s not that simple. Even the most tuned-in people can miss a gut feeling, because life gets in the way! Now and again, though, the cosmos does us a favour and supports us with the practical energy we need to lean on our intuitive senses and use them for good. Today, an alignment between Neptune and the Sun helps you to recognise how you can benefit long-term from doing what feels right now.

SAGITTARIUS
(November 23 – December 21)
To GROW tall branches, you need a strong network of roots. It’s no good focusing your energy on stretching towards something, if the source of inspiration you seek lies below your roots. Today, the Sun in Capricorn connects to Neptune and reminds you what you already have. Don’t worry about where you are going. Take comfort and wisdom from where you have already been. Big dreams call for big decisions — but look closely and you may see you’ve already made some.

CAPRICORN
(December 22 – January 20)
Being pragmatic is great but, without a little magic idealism, what’s it all for? You work incredibly hard. You have a wonderful combination of determination and vision. Sometimes, though, you get ground down and forget where you are going and who you are going there for. Today, as the Sun in your sign connects to Neptune, the planet of dreams, you are reminded of your sense of purpose. A support network is in place. Today offers the chance to grow closer to your goals and those who share them.

AQUARIUS
(January 21 – February 19)
You approach change methodically. It’s a wise stance to take. You know when things make sense, real magic can happen. That’s why you can’t bear it when people refuse to listen to your advice on these matters! You may feel the weight of emotional complexities right now. Focus on the process at hand. Remember, when minds change, so can hearts. Your understanding of what matters is deepening. You will soon feel more connected to your dreams and those who support you.

PISCES
(February 20 – March 20)
One of the greatest blessings bestowed upon Pisceans is the ability to find your flow. That’s why you’re one of the most underestimated signs. The cosmos gives you a gift: a sextile between your planetary ruler Neptune and the Sun in diligent Capricorn. This empowers you to deploy something you feel strongly about to help others. The Moon’s opposition to Venus and Saturn in your sign encourages you to combine empathy with creativity and channel these towards a practical purpose.
