Either way, your main concern is to establish order and organisation in your life and to feel the satisfaction of knowing that you are progressing along your chosen path.

The Sun/Saturn conjunction urges to take stock of your life and ask yourself what have you achieved and what do you have to show for all your hard work in the past. Add to this the Moon in Gemini and the next few days suggest a period of quick reactions and a need for variety and change. Your interests could be intensely seriously but fleeting. Perhaps for a short while, it will be difficult to focus on the big picture as smaller matters seem to attain a disproportionate significance.

These realisations will transform you, and have profound lasting effect on your life from this point on.
