Maybe we’re rebooting old situations, or attempting to get the groundwork laid out for new ventures.

As we’re forced to re-trace some of the good work we’ve done so far, any progress we do make will be frustratingly slow.

To me it feels a bit like those classic moments in films where a quick getaway is needed but they’re facing the wrong direction and have to drive backwards to escape.

Pro’s to reversing:
You’re learning the route from a different perspective, and aware of some of the pot-holes you hit on the way in.

Cons to reversing:
You’re heading toward the very thing you’re trying to get away from as you waste precious time.

Fortunately, the Full Moon promises to shed some light and offer solutions on how to reboot your progress (though you may still have to wait before you can officially get started).

Aries: Self-care

Deadlines are consuming all of your time and attention. Factor in some R’n’R so you can hit the ground running and aim higher than before!

Taurus: Trust your intuition 

Worrying about the future causes anxiety, and it’s out of your hands! Once you relinquish control and accept your limitations, you’ll get a good night’s sleep.

Gemini: Switch off

Take a social detox online and in reality by muting followers (and real-time divas) who demand the world and drain your energy.

Cancer: Review priorities 

It can’t hurt to (diplomatically) remind them who’s boss! Staying quiet to keep the peace delays the inevitable and leaves less time for yourself.

Leo: Ground yourself

Feeling restricted and under pressure triggers the escape artist in you. Count to 10 before making any rash decisions.

Virgo: Take five

Factor in some fun and take some time to rest and recharge; you can’t pour from an empty kettle (and when you do, you get nothing but limescale!)

Libra: Journal your thoughts

What’s that bubbling up from the depths? The personal realisations you’re having are a reminder that your feelings are valid, so take the time to explore them.

Scorpio: Knowledge is power

Use that power to research and make positive changes in your diet and daily routine! You’ll soon be wondering what took you so long. 

Sagittarius: Be honest

If you really want it, you’ll make it work. Just make sure you’ve set a realistic budget or you might have some backtracking to do.

Capricorn: Take a break 

Family commitments are interrupting your rhythm but you’ve planned for contingencies, and the break will do you good!

Aquarius: Be transparent

Crossed-wires leads to head scratching and wasted time. Be clear on the course of action you want to take and focus on bringing your dreams into reality.

Pisces: Prioritise yourself

Focus on your desired outcome, rather than giving your most productive hours to your friends – constant compromise leaves you with half the time.
