Are YOU on the verge of a big breakthrough? JEMIMA CAINER reveals the star signs about to see their efforts pay off - and who might feel like change is chaos

• e-mail

The best way to move forward is by looking back on what has already been attempted or achieved. Breakthroughs cannot exist without having had something to get past. 

Today, as Uranus stations direct, the Sun makes a positive aspect to Jupiter which is in Gemini. This amplifies the power of positive thought. 

The cosmos is supporting us now to see what needs changing and to recognise that a positive shift is not only possible, but probable. If you can believe a breakthrough is coming, you might just bring one into being.

ARIES 

(March 21 - April 20)

The planets are conspiring to bring you real progress. The Sun's link to Jupiter encourages big ideas and wide horizons, while Uranus gives a much-needed nudge forward. But what will you do with the momentum? Some people let opportunities pass them by. Others seize them too eagerly and waste energy on the wrong things. You're neither. Trust your instincts. The future is calling. You're more prepared than you realise to rise to its challenge.

You're being given a gift – a chance to shine and make progress. Be ready to take it with both hands. January getting you down?

LEO 

(July 24 - August 23)

When the wind changes direction, a wise seafarer adjusts their sails. Uranus's forward motion brings a fresh breeze into your life today, while the Sun's link to Jupiter reminds you that this tailwind could carry you far if you let it. But where do you want to go? You've held onto an idea of what success should look like, but the cosmos is offering you something better. Be flexible. What seems like a detour may be a shortcut to exactly where you need to be.

VIRGO 

(August 24 - September 23)

Life is full of 'aha' moments. They arrive quietly, like they've been waiting for us to notice them all along. The Sun's connection to Jupiter today brings insight that could help you see a challenge in a new light. Uranus stationing direct inspires a small, unexpected change. When we shift our perspective, even slightly, we discover options where we thought there were none. Trust the glimmer of possibility you see today. It's not a mirage; it's a promise of progress. The next step forward is yours to take.

LIBRA 

(September 24 - October 23)

What if you don't need a plan? What if, just for today, you trust everything will unfold exactly as it needs to? The Sun's link to Jupiter suggests that overthinking might be counterproductive. Uranus stationing direct brings a change you didn't see coming but may come to love. Life's best surprises often appear when we're least prepared. Be open to the unexpected today.

SCORPIO 

(October 24 - November 22)

Do YOU believe in sudden breakthroughs? Some dismiss them as luck, but luck itself requires preparation. The Sun's trine with Jupiter highlights something you've been quietly working towards. It's ready to move forward; you'll soon see results. Just because things have been slow doesn't mean they'll always be that way. Life has a habit of speeding up when we least expect it. Trust your efforts are paying off, even if it doesn't feel obvious yet. January getting you down?

SAGITTARIUS 

(November 23 - December 21)

There's a reason they say 'timing is everything'. For too long, you've felt life has been running too fast or too slow. But with Jupiter, your ruling planet, forming a harmonious link to the Sun, and Uranus moving forward, the timing may at last feel right. If an opportunity appears today, say yes. You're not being reckless; you're being ready. The world wants you to succeed, and you've never been more capable of stepping into success.

CAPRICORN 

(December 22 - January 20)

We tend to see progress as a straight line: one step after another in a neat, logical order. But life doesn't always work like that. Today, Uranus stationing direct reminds you that sudden leaps forward are possible – especially when you're least expecting them. The Sun and Jupiter add a dose of optimism. You've got a chance to move closer to a goal. Be open to inspiration today. If you act on it, you might just surprise yourself, and everyone else, with how far you can go. January getting you down?

It means the time for hesitation is over. You don't have to know all the answers, but you do have to respond to a cosmic call saying, 'It's time for you to realise how wonderful you are.'
