CAPRICORN

December 22 to January 19

Whatever you’ve been doing with your money, it’s about to pay off. Not hugely, but enough to make you smile. While you’re feeling so impressed with yourself, why not book a short break with someone you really like? Meanwhile, if there are meetings planned, your natural responses are much more likely to get the point across than reams of prepared notes. You’ve forgotten how entertaining you can be.

AQUARIUS

January 20 to February 18

Stop waiting for everyone else to create your success for you, and seize your own enormous power. Because, if the truth were known, there is no end to your talents. Your only real problem, if you have one, is that you haven't a clue how to relate to the people around you. Try asking them how you can help them, and then let them blossom at their own pace. One thing though: the communication planet only gets back on track this Wednesday. Have a little patience.

PISCES

February 19 to March 20

Yes, you’re still a little confused, but you’re pretty irresistible too. Distract yourself on the social circuit. But don’t expect them to come to you. If you’re looking for new interests — any kind — they’re out there waiting. But you will have to make an effort. Shyness and modesty are no longer impressive qualities. You have to ask for what you want. Use this week’s quiet moments (there’ll be plenty) to make some plans. By next week you’ll be ready for an adventure.

ARIES

March 21 to April 19

Uh oh. So you’ve stuck your chin out and are refusing to budge? Fine, if you don’t mind a fight. Remember though, you’re not the only one who’s learnt to be assertive. Ask yourself whether it’s the issue or the fight you’re after. If it’s the fight, choose your weapons with care. Unless, of course, you decided to take a short break from yourself instead. In which case, sleep, eat your greens, make a list of desires and speak to no-one. You’re unfit for human consumption until February.  

TAURUS

April 20 to May 20

There’s movement ahead. By next week, the urge to make changes becomes almost irresistible. Good time to plan a trip, or sign up for a new course. The thirst for new experiences is driving you to dump the baggage and run. Don’t be too hasty. Make sure to tie up all the loose ends firs, or they’ll be waiting when you come hurtling back to your old safety net. Instead, think about how you’d like to change yourself. There’s an abundance of goodies out there. Go grab some.

GEMINI

May 21 to June 20                   

When the planets have this much to say, it’s probably a good idea to listen, and to stand still while you’re doing it. If you get caught up in the dramas, you won’t be able to see what’s really going on. If you lose perspective, you won’t know how to act. Work on maintaining clarity, minimising the decisions and getting through the madness. Communications get back on track by Wednesday, and Saturday’s fabulous new moon sends you on a delicious adventure. Pack light.

CANCER

June 21 to July 22

This is not the best time to be feeling sorry for yourself. The year has just begun. Yes, it may be taking you down a somewhat bumpy detour, but by next month you’ll be back in Cancerian heaven, with everyone finally beginning to see things your way. The odd interested party might even send you somewhere fab to investigate further. Keep your options open. Saturday’s new moon will send out a range of delicious adventures. Eyes peeled.

LEO

July 23 to August 22                                                                                 

If there are battles to fight, feel free to rant like a toddler, but only until Wednesday. After that calm returns and patience becomes one of your many virtues. You’ve also become creatively inspired and keen to show off your wares. Since you need to feel good to perform at your peak, get a head or foot massage, which is  vital to inner peace and a fabulous smile. After that the year’s adventures begin to make their presence felt. Make a list of desires. The universe needs directions.

VIRGO

August 23 to September 22

For once, forget about everyone else and take care of yourself. Your need to be in charge will work against you unless you first take charge of yourself. Likewise, those minor financial annoyances would be best viewed from a different angle. But most of all, stop taking yourself so seriously. Life was supposed to be fun. Besides, nothing meaningful can be achieved before February. Use Saturday’s gorgeous new moon to create a different adventure.

LIBRA

September 23 to October 22

It’s a gentle time for you, with life sailing along fairly calmly. There are, of course, those among you who long for a touch more excitement. Hold that thought. As you well know, life never stays wind-free for long. Watch a movie, take a bath, invite some friends for dinner. Most important, recharge yourself for when the tides begin to turn. By next month, the ocean waves will be beating at your door. Think about how you’d like to direct them. Up to you.

SCORPIO

October 23 to November 21

Physical exhaustion has dragged you back to the bedroom, and not necessarily with any interesting company to soothe your spirits. So ask yourself again. Why do you have to be so absurdly extreme? Why does weight loss mean starvation? Why does exercise mean self-flagellation? Why is failure the only alternative to perfection? How much longer are you going to beat yourself up for being you? Write a list of your talents (it’s really long) and give yourself a hug. You’re fabulous. Write that down.

SAGITTARIUS

November 22 to December 21

Old debts could stop you in your tracks. Don’t let them. Use that fabulous  mind to work out a game plan and stick to it. Pay what you can, avoid new debts and keep going. You know the drill. Besides, there are queues of people dying to help. Stop being such a pain and let them. Saturday’s new moon will have some ideas about your next steps. Tell yourself you’re willing to change and watch the magic happen.
