SCORPIO
October 23 to November 21
Interesting times. Any new relationships are likely to be extremely — even totally — physical. Enjoy them but don’t start picking out curtains. Mind your temper though. Patience is thin on the ground and you’re in the mood for a fight. Current relationships, meanwhile, are going through a patchy period. If they’re good, they’ll get better. If not, think about what you really want. A new project will help you to detach long enough to make more sensible choices.
SAGITTARIUS
November 22 to December 21
Your influence is at its peak. Your inspiration has given you wings. In fact, there’s nothing holding you back, except that you don’t have the vaguest idea what you want. In which case, the only way to travel is one tiny step at a time — making the smaller, easier decisions until you get your confidence back. Don’t stop though — not even for a moment. Paralysis is a killer.
CAPRICORN
December 22 to January 19
There’s enormous progress to be made in every direction — as long as you can stretch yourself into thinking far more laterally. You’ve come to take your numerous talents for granted and laziness is the inevitable result. Be very careful. This is not the time to get cocky. Meanwhile, partnership obligations are causing problems. Examine your motives and stick to the moral high ground. You’ll be fine.
AQUARIUS
January 20 to February 18
Love gets happier as your needs suddenly find a more realistic outlet. Instead of trying to perfect the people in your life, try locating their inner magic. That aside, you’ll have more time to play as the job market slows down and the money markets (your least favourite things) grind to a halt. How about learning to play the piano or taking up hang-gliding? New parameters are urgently needed and exploration is the key.
PISCES
February 19 to March 20
A short trip inspires new hope, and could even bring a new love into your life. Still, you have to make communication a priority. Dramatic changes are always much more difficult when you insist on keeping your fears to yourself. And yes, just occasionally, you too are allowed to falter along the way. No-one will love you any less as a result. Meanwhile, there’s a new job opportunity in the offing. Keep your eyes peeled.
ARIES
March 21 to April 19
It’s not so much about give and take as it is about choosing your battles. There are some things you don’t really care about that you can put down. It’s just the ego that keeps you battling long after you’ve lost interest in the outcome. Besides, the energies are powerful this week — much more focused on financial success than stubborn selfishness. Use the planets to motivate you, even when all you want to do is collapse in a heap. It’ll be well worth the efforts you’re making.
TAURUS
April 20 — May 20
There’s movement beckoning. That burning desire to make changes has become almost irresistible. And what better time to plan a trip or sign up for a new course? The thirst for new knowledge and different experiences is driving you to dump the baggage and run. Don’t be too hasty. Tie up the loose ends first and then take a gentle stroll. Don’t fret about consequences. You’ll be back to fix those when you’re ready.
GEMINI
May 21 to June 20
Sure, it feels as though everything has ground to a halt. But this is a temporary state, exaggerated by the current madness in your head. Try to nurture the process of change — working on your personal progress at the same time. The wheels will start turning on their own again soon. And while you wait? There’s plenty out there to keep you amused. Open your door and look. Get ready to explore.
CANCER
June 21 to July 22
Relationships are still giving you trouble. So take note: you may not be seeing things as clearly as you thought. And instead of blaming luck or fate for your peculiar choices — try seeing your loved ones in a different light. See if you can remember what you liked about them in the first place. And focus on the good stuff. Remember though — you can’t change them. But you can change yourself. Rise above the weirdness.
LEO
July 23 to August 22
There’s more energy here than you know what to do with. Try to plan your days around the occasional jog. Used well, this high-voltage dynamism can take you anywhere you want to go. Used badly, it’ll have you yelling at everyone in sight. So be good. And ask nicely. And count to 10 before you speak. And punch a pillow every morning before leaving the house. An interesting job offer is on the way. Try not to sabotage the good stuff with bad behaviour.
VIRGO
August 23 to September 22
Repairs or changes at home could be upsetting your equilibrium. Try to remove yourself from the mess for a few days — or take a course in meditation. You, more than anyone, are upset by ugliness and mess. So pamper yourself a little. Happily though, your love life has never been more fabulous. You’re all learning to co-operate with each other at last. Take notes. You’ll need them later to keep you on track.
LIBRA
September 23 to October 22
You feel as though you’ve been dealing with the same issues over and over. And you probably have — but only because they weren’t properly handled the first time. Still, now’s your chance to start streamlining. If you’ve got something to sell or release, do it now. Unfinished projects can be dumped. And for this week only, refuse to take on anything new. Give yourself some time to regroup.
