Weekly horoscope: How the five month cosmic event will affect all star signs

All signs will be seeing a period of transformation this week according to the MEN's resident medium. Aquarians will the most affected by the Pluto Retrograde which is set to begin on Thursday.

In astrology, Pluto Retrograde lasts for five months and is a period when negative energies begin to dissipate. The event occurs when the planet Pluto appears to move backwards which astrologers believe causes an introspective journey for all. Stockport based fortune teller, Stuart Cassels believes that by October 11, you should be a more positive and caring individual who will see a drastic and positive change in the world around.

Stuart’s tarot reading of each star sign for the week commencing from April 29 - 5 can be read below.

Aries: 21st March - 19th April: Aries will experience a lot of positive energy this week thanks to Mars and the moon - with Tuesday, Friday and Saturday being particularly significant days for you. You will be excited about new beginnings and eager to put things into action at last, but not everyone involved in your plans will have the same enthusiasm. Don’t let them hold you back - go for it, even if it means doing it on your own.

Taurus: 20th April - 20th May: Looking at the same surroundings everyday is getting rather monotonous for Taureans, and this week is the ideal opportunity to do something about it. Whilst you might dream of a last minute break, more simple actions such as relocating your workspace temporarily, or even rearranging furniture could brighten up your week. An invite may be received, but don’t be in a hurry to respond.

Gemini: 21st May - 20th June: Geminis are the most likely to enjoy a creative spark this week - and whilst the process will be an adventure, it won’t come without some problems. The adage of “measure twice, cut once” is something to consider in almost everything you undertake, and even then you may have to buy additional supplies. The snags will be worth it in the end. Be proud of your creation.

Cancer : 21st June - 22nd July: Whilst it seems frustrating that someone, or something, is stopping you from moving forwards with your plans, you might be best to accept that it isn’t the right time for change. Someone may encourage you to risk your integrity in order to get what you want, but at what cost? Patience will bring a peaceful night’s sleep.

Leo: 23rd July - 22nd August: Leos will experience a period of harmony this week, especially when it comes to romance and relationships. As you notice a positive change in emotions, you might want to express your happiness outwardly and with a change in your appearance. Whether it’s new clothes, a hairstyle or nails, be bold and bright, to make sure people notice you. A little attention will bring more good fortune in other areas of your life.

Virgo: 23rd August - 22nd September: A week of discussions and negotiations awaits Virgos. Not everyone is on your side, or agreeing with your point of view, but this resistance will ultimately work in your favour. Stand up for yourself and by the end of the week you will be in a much better position.

Libra: 23rd September - 22nd October: It’s a good time for Librans to set aside their egos, and admit when they need to ask for help. Accept that you don’t have the knowledge and skills to accomplish the challenge in front of you, and either take some time to learn from someone with experience, or let them take on the task. Only then will you appreciate that you can make difficult decisions without too much fear.

Scorpio: 23rd October - 21st November: You have spent valuable time making plans for the future, but yet you seem hesitant to take action. It’s finally time to turn all your preparation into results. Don’t dive straight in though - test the waters first, and adapt if necessary. A simple typo could cause laughter, or disaster, so check your paperwork one last time.

Sagittarius: 22nd November - 21st December: Sagittarians will experience mixed emotions this week as a significant part of their life story comes to a close, and feelings of loss are strangely intertwined with success. Whilst it hasn’t come as a complete surprise, allow yourself time to come to terms with the changes, and look for new opportunities within them. It is a good week to trust your intuition.

Capricorn: 22nd December - 19th January: For Capricorns, this week would be well spent looking back and identifying your successes of the past, with a view to looking at how to repeat them without too much effort. The later part of the week may bring feelings of doubt, but have confidence in yourself and those around you, and don’t give up just yet.

Aquarius: 20th January -18th February: Aquarians will see a massive change in attitude from Tuesday, where uncertainty gives way to self confidence. The beginning of May will see you wanting to finish all the small outstanding tasks that have been left for too long. Whilst others will offer assistance, you know that you can get the job done quicker on your own. Over the coming five months, Pluto Retrograde will affect you the most, allowing you to take time to come to terms with major changes in your past that were, until now, unaddressed.

Pisces: 19th February - 20th March: It is time for Pisceans to be selfish for a change and spend this week concentrating on their own well being. You often share valuable wisdom with others, but now it is time to listen to your own advice. Be grateful for what you have, rather than what you have lost - especially when it comes to relationships. Your imagination will be a strong force from Thursday, so make sure you concentrate on what could be, and not what might have been.

Stuart will be at D’Ale House Bar in Rochdale Town Centre this Thursday for their monthly “Cocktails and Tarot” event. See here for details.
