OUR RESIDENT ASTROLOGER PREDICTS YOUR WEEK FROM APRIL 25 TO MAY 1

ARIES MAR 21 – APR 20

Batten down the hatches: your money zone is receiving a cosmic blast. A series of eclipses foretell big changes over the cooler months; a new income stream might even appear, but for now, things are out of your hands. Luckily, Mercury’s shift into Gemini should propel you out and about – and getting involved with your local community is just what you need.

LUCKY NUMBERS: 8, 19, 28, 30, 38, 40

CANCER JUN 22 – JUL 23

Need to get something off your chest? As this week’s eclipse impacts your friendship sector, expect some surprising developments through May: hellos, goodbyes, and possibly a few fireworks as well. Adding to the flurry, a modest holiday could snowball into a trip to remember. If you’re ready to broaden your horizons, make a special wish on Sunday.

LUCKY NUMBERS: 8, 17, 28, 30, 38, 39

LIBRA SEP 24 – OCT 23

Like a giant spoon, this week’s eclipse might stir up deep emotions. Perhaps a health problem has thrown you off balance or a loved one’s situation is causing sleepless nights? Helpful answers are heading your way, so open up to a trusted friend or speak to a professional. With a new money cycle about to unfold, why not learn more about stocks or investing?

LUCKY CRYSTAL: GOLDEN CITRINE

CAPRICORN DEC 22 – JAN 20

As your community-minded side comes to the fore, local clubs and causes should tap into your best qualities. Inspiring others should come naturally, so why not volunteer your services and get involved? If you’re playing the dating game, these proactive patterns could rev things up. Sporty types might set your heart racing … just don’t come on too strong.

LUCKY NUMBERS: 6, 15, 22, 25, 39, 40

TAURUS APR 21 – MAY 21

Call it destiny! With two eclipses reverberating through your sign, the winds of change are blowing. Nothing will go quite as planned this month, but the cosmos is steering your life in a new direction. On a lighter note, Venus and Mars are whipping up a delicious array of dinners and social events. As the whirl increases, singles might be spoiled for choice! LUCKY COLOUR: SILVER

LEO JUL 24 – AUG 23

Searching for something more? Take a closer look at those sea-change fantasies or weigh up your options at work. With an eclipse illuminating your chart’s pinnacle, new paths could appear through May. In the meantime, quizzes and game nights might be fun, while on the fitness front, classes or team sports could add a fresh bounce to your step.

LUCKY COLOUR: GOLD

SCORPIO OCT 24 – NOV 22

It’s eclipse season, so forget idle chitchat: it’s time to deep dive. Mercury could stir up some sensitive relationship issues, but heart-to-hearts should clear the air. Long-term couples could find themselves entering a positive new era, while for lovebirds, some big decisions may need to be made. Shoddy or second-rate behaviour just won’t cut it this month.

LUCKY NUMBERS: 2, 12, 29, 31, 38, 40

AQUARIUS JAN 21 – FEB 19

Life feeling a tad melodramatic? With this week’s eclipse impacting your family sector, problems involving your home or loved ones could come to a head. Unexpected repairs might stretch the budget, but on the flipside, new furnishings or electronics might really hit the spot. If finances have been causing friction, why not see a mediator or business adviser? LUCKY SYMBOL: LADYBIRD

GEMINI MAY 22 – JUN 21

Something stimulating and new is in the pipeline, but first, a stressful situation may need to be resolved. As Mercury shifts into your sign, you might even find yourself representing others, but steps taken now should clear the way for progress. Anything active or unusual should prove therapeutic – if music, travel or romance is in the mix, all the better.

LUCKY SYMBOL: BUTTERFLY

VIRGO AUG 24 – SEP 23

The tension is almost electric! With cracking energy around you, don’t be surprised if appliances short out or injuries flare. At work, you could find yourself fighting for fairness – just don’t take on too much. With passions running high, look for ways to switch off. Soppy movies, weekends away … make relaxation a top priority or your health could pay the price.

LUCKY FLOWER: POPPY

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 – DEC 21

Change can be unsettling, but sometimes, we need a push. If Mars reignites an underlying issue on the health or family front, don’t ignore it. Even if it feels uncomfortable, actions taken in May could propel you into a more positive phase. Write a list of dreams and goals, then set the wheels in motion after Sunday’s eclipse. Things could progress quickly!

LUCKY COLOUR: PURPLE

PISCES FEB 20 – MAR 20

It’s time to off-load some excess baggage, and make space for the things (and the people!) that matter most. As your load becomes lighter, spreading your wings should come naturally. For some, a budding interest could blossom into a full-blown passion through winter. Meanwhile, if an unusual excursion or weekend away is on offer, just say yes!

LUCKY GEMSTONE: OPAL
