At the moment the sun, Mercury, Venus and Saturn are all loosely grouped in the sign of Cancer, while Mars and Uranus are together in Pisces. These two are water signs, of course, and if another planet were to be in Scorpio, then that would complete the grand trine, with all the water signs filled; on the celestial pinball machine the game board would then light up, the 'extra chance' lights would flash, and we would all be given a bonus ball.

On Tuesday and Wednesday next week that's exactly what happens. The moon moves through Scorpio, making a grand trine between Uranus, Saturn and itself; then just a few minutes later a different grand trine between Uranus, Venus and itself; and so on. During those two days there are four grand trines and six lesser trines in operation, with the moon going ping-ping-ping off all those six planets in turn.

With so many planets involved the range of opportunities is enormous. No matter what it is that we are each struggling with, somewhere in all those trines there is a way out and a way forward, a short cut to the future which will restore our flagging spirits. Just bear two things in mind. Firstly, trines have no compulsion in them, so you don't have to go with what they offer if you don't want to; and secondly, it all happens in two days, so you have to be quick.
