What's in your stars this week?
What's in your stars this week?

SAGITTARIUS

November 22 to December 21

It’s disconcerting when everything starts hitting you at once. But there are ways and means. Go for the "one bite at a time" approach  or you’ll lose your mind before Christmas. Besides, this is a wonderful test of your strengths. When it all gets too much, remind yourself that this too will pass. But while you’re here, enjoy the feeling of being everybody’s saviour. Well someone has to do it. And you’re so good at looking heroic.

CAPRICORN

December 22 to January 19

The cosmos has crammed your heart with profound emotion. No point trying to talk your way out of this one. You might as well let yourself feel whatever you need to, and expand your self-awareness while you’re there. Not only that. Planets this noisy want you to complete unfinished business, walk away from anything no longer fulfilling and get on with a more fabulous life. You’re learning about balance – at last. Excellent.  

AQUARIUS

January 20 to February 18

Don’t you just love a challenge? Not really? Well, tough. This is your week to take yourself beyond your own limits. It’s your moment to dig up your most absurdly impossible dreams – and make them happen. Or at least put them into action. So if you’re keen to become the next president, start planning your look. Then act as though it’s already happened. Abundance comes to those who believe they deserve it. It’s true.

PISCES

February 19 to March 20

Everything looks so good. Your only dangers are overconfidence and over-commitment. So calm down. Take a seat. Devour a bar of chocolate. Read a book. This is your moment to rest on your laurels. And right now you could almost enjoy being bored. Things are happening with or without your consent. Your job is to collect the rewards – and to recognise that everything in your life is a reward. It’ll change your perspective.

ARIES

March 21 to April 19

Being talented has its ups and downs. This week the downs are showing themselves, leaving you with a jealousy factor to cope with. The problem, of course, is that having paid your dues, you’re starting to succeed. And there are those who would like to undermine your progress. Needless to say, endless doses of grace and compassion will guide you through unscathed. You can afford to be generous now.

TAURUS

April 20 to May 20

 The relatives are already pouring in, the home is getting a facelift, and you’re enjoying yourself immensely. Come on, admit it. Complain all you like, this is your favourite time of year. It’s when you get to play host and nurturer to anyone who wanders past. Don’t fight it. This is your gift. Besides, it only happens once a year! Now, where was that feather boa?

GEMINI

May 21 to June 20

Hurtling from one drama to the next is always a splendid way to avoid dealing with your life. Or, you could stand still for a moment. Actually, you won’t have much choice. The planets are putting spokes in your wheels, demanding a review of relationships, group activities, career. Are you heading in the right direction? Or is a turnaround on the cards? The New Year is almost here. Get ready for a different kind of adventure.

CANCER

June 21 to July 22

The planets are slowing down, bringing frustration if you’re in a rush — and languid entertainment if you’re not. One thing is certain though: you’ve never been more wildly desirable. The fact that you’re not particularly interested makes you even more delicious. Be nice to the losers though. You may want them back when the energies have changed. Meanwhile, use this week to let go of anything unfinished. You don’t need it anymore.  

LEO

July 23 to August 22

You know how you love to check out the shortcuts. And sure, the ability to find them is generally a gift in itself. But not this time. This time, the power of your ambitions is clouding your vision – convincing you that the occasional casualty is an acceptable part of the deal. Take care. If you’d just try the standard route you’ll inevitably get what you want anyway. No pain necessary. Put the ego down for a while.

VIRGO

August 23 to September 22

Backtracking is what you’re doing. Wading through the sludge of Christmases past. Why bother? Use the rest of the month to finish old business and clear out your desk. Then you’ll have a sparkling new energy to take you into January. Once you’re there, you’ll feel the fire in your veins. Until then, use that soggy feeling to think about your real emotions. Yours. Not theirs. You’ll be amazed at all the healing that’s possible now.

LIBRA

September 23 to October 22

As everyone but you seems to know, your talents are many and varied. Enough of that. This is your moment to come out of the closet and reveal yourself. That modesty thing is starting to stand in your way. Yes, humility is wonderful, but it’s completely different to self-denial and personal sabotage. You’re just going to have to trust yourself – and jump. And if you need some company, your love life is moving to a new level. Hold out your hand.

SCORPIO

October 23 to November 21

For some reason you’re suddenly determined to adapt and conform. And while it doesn’t do much for the self-esteem, such efforts are certainly great discipline – if that’s what you need. Even so, look again at the parts of yourself you’ve come to like. You may discover a person you never acknowledged before. Meanwhile, keep those ears open for travel opportunities  before Saturday. Something exciting is on its way.
