LEO
July 23 – August 22
Excitement is your Full Moon gift (coming Saturday). And if there’s no-one around to have it with, arrange an impromptu party. Or dance naked in the moonlight. And don’t look so shocked either. You know very well that the respectable thing to do is not always the best thing. Much more exciting would be to fall wildly in love and disappear in a puff of fairies. Money, incidentally, is on its way. Spend some.
VIRGO
August 23 – September 22
Getting grumpy with the lovers, are we? Taking out our frustrations on the people we love most? Better stop that at once. The planets are asking you to revisit old angers. And when you’ve cleared your head, you may find you're as much to blame as anyone — if blame is being assigned. But who cares? Forgive yourself, them, and the dog and move on. By next Monday, your planets will be behaving themselves again — and you can get your life back.
LIBRA
September 23 – October 22
Saturday’s intuitive Full Moon ushers in new beginnings and fabulous opportunities. Mars is in your sign from Thursday, bringing courage, energy and a willingness to take charge. But there’s just one tiny snag. The communication planet is on strike until the 11th, taking both tact and intellect with it. Watch your mouth, and rely on those fantastic instincts to get you where you are going.
SCORPIO
October 23 – November 21
It’s not that you’re controlling. It’s just that everyone would be a lot happier if they did things your way. Quite right too. The only snag with this philosophy is that you’d really like to be popular too. How about this: your status and career are at an all-time high. Make friends with people who need your approval. Option two: try for some basic charm. Saturday’s fascinating Full Moon brings new possibilities. Explore them all.
SAGITTARIUS
November 22 – December 21
A change of routine need not be as upsetting as you’d feared. An open mind is what’s needed here, though there’s a chance of being swept away in a moment of passion. Your new love could be more expensive than you bargained for, so keep watch. Changes in the career look interesting too — as long as you keep your fantasies on a manageable leash. Saturday’s Full Moon brings a chance of travel. Grab all possible adventures.
CAPRICORN
December 22 - January 19
Saturday’s Full Moon zones in on career and money. You have influence now, so make it count. Even so, the planet of sudden and dramatic change is playing games with your head. Don’t sign anything until you’re sure — but keep options wide open enough to attractive new offers. The progress is a little slow, but the process has already begun. You’re different now — and you’re definitely going to like the new you.
AQUARIUS
January 20 – February 18
Saturday’s Aquarius Full Moon is a good one — shoving you out of complacency and into exploration. Everything gets another look — work, friendships, health and maybe even love. Actually, not love. You can leave that to its own devices for now. Instead, how about a weekend at a health farm? Ancient stresses are taking their toll. And it’s time you reminded yourself that you have a body to go with that fabulous mind!
PISCES
February 19 – March 20
There’s so much planetary reshuffling happening, it’s no wonder you’ve turned into a jibbering idiot. Pisceans, as you know, are much too sensitive for their own good. Enough of that. Now's your chance to use these magical new energies for your own ends. Write down your dreams, light candles, say prayers. Global energies are ready to give you whatever you want. Make sure you know what that is.
ARIES
March 21 – April 19
Yet another career challenge is what you’re after. Why this is, nobody knows. Even so, you may, if you wish, create a huge drama at work — which will leave you feeling bereft and abused. Or you can sort out your motives, and emerge from a minor hassle, triumphant and elevated. It all depends how much suffering you’ve made up your mind to endure. And yes, you do have a choice. Wait for Saturday’s Full Moon before you make up your mind.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
As if you needed any encouragement to follow your dreams. Even so, it’s there for the taking. In fact, the only danger lies in the possibility of burnout. Manic behaviour slows mildly on Thursday. Before then, stay up all night if you have to. The opportunities are numerous, and your stars are rising. Still, try to remember that you’re not the only person on the planet. Consideration and generosity can only add to your success.
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
A giant dose of enthusiasm — even wildness — has come to stay. Now where were those ambitions; those unfinished projects; those fun outings? Dig them all out, and promise yourself never to procrastinate again — especially after the 11th when your planets come back into focus. For now, keep the energies zoned in on your fabulous self. Love and work improvements are still en route. Get creative. You’ve completely forgotten how powerful you are.
CANCER
June 21 – July 22
Casual romances could lead to something bigger, but don’t hold your breath. Your charms are magnetic now, and everyone wants to be your friend. Which means, of course, that your attention span is limited, and you're already looking round for a better deal. And that’s fine — as long as you know what you’re doing. Even so, if advice is being offered, take it. By next week, you’ll be ready to make your own decisions.
Your Chart
Melany Basinga (February 1 1981, Port Elizabeth, 7.32am)
Sun sign: Aquarius
Moon sign: Sagittarius
Rising Sign: Pisces
You have the chance for real success, but you’re so busy rerunning the thoughts in your head, you have forgotten to take action. So listen: you’ve been through the worst, and the best is on its way. And sure, you’re still recovering from a very strange couple of years. But with your mind, and that wonderful sense of adventure, you’re doubtless already planning a radical shift. It’s your Pisces personality that holds you back. Once anyone gets through your front door, you’re available for manipulation and abuse — always convinced that there’s a divine spark behind the meanness. And you’re right. There is. But for now, your job is to concentrate on being your own divine spark. Money is changing, self-esteem is healing, and love is slowly growing from friendship. Don’t rush any of it. The next few weeks will be extremely strange. After that, you get to climb aboard the fun train. And hang on for dear life.
