Virgo

August 24 – September 23

Keep looking out for a revelation. A surprise happening that should be unpredicta­ble. Oops, blown it again! Seriously though, this is a time when dreams are made, changed and experience­d. Everything is tangible and emotional. Are you still reading? Maybe it is time to get moving? The weather in the forecast doesn’t always happen as expected but we manage anyway. Your Luck: So this week throws up surprises. Enjoy.

Capricorn December 22 – January 20

A startling solar eclipse as this week starts means so much for you. There is special activity both at home and in your finances. They could be more linked than you realise. Get out those accounts and make the most of a fresh start. Those going up or down the housing ladder should take their time. What you see as an offer not to be missed could be only the beginning. Your Luck: Keep moving ahead but only go for a deal you are happy with.

Taurus April 21 – May 21

Beginnings and ends come along with the final solar eclipse of the year. It really is a case of ‘something has to give’. Active planetary alignments bring opportunit­ies to make changes. They are not always welcome at the time but often turn out to be a gift in the long term. Guide the hand of fate by being flexible and practical. What cannot be changed must be accepted and adjusted to. Your Luck: Rather than stress, aim to go with the flow of life.

Libra

September 24 – October 23

The final solar eclipse of the year brings friends together. Old or new, make the most of any group activities. Something about your approach right now makes you the perfect leader. Sometimes you try to avoid this but, when it is going to lead to something creative, off you go! An opportunit­y or two come your way. Don’t doubt that you are capable of the tasks in hand. Your Luck: This could be so enjoyable as to be hysterical­ly joyous.

Aquarius January 21 – February 19

Plans made at the beginning of the year need a fresh approach. Better things on offer this week and next could lead you to make sudden changes. Some you will now be aware of because they simply haven’t worked. Others are a disappoint­ment but there is still time to change. Getting out of one situation may prove a chore but have patience. Your Luck: Stick to your guns and show that you know what you want and demand it.

Gemini May 22 – June 21

This will be a busy, exciting and passionate week. Although you may think that you have passed most milestones in your life, wait to be amazed! Nothing eclipses what is about to happen. What changes most is your mind and the attitude you have held for many moons. At first you see clouds, but wait! Is there something sparkling there? Could it possibly be a silver lining? Your Luck: Remember that nothing is achieved without effort.

Scorpio

Octover 24 - November 22

Put yourself firmly in the light from this week’s amazing solar eclipse. Be the centre of the universe if you feel like it. This time is no fanciful trip but more of a golden opportunit­y. What is it that you crave? Ask for it now. There is much to gain and little to lose. Give yourself the gift of optimism and be ready to ask someone a very important question. Your Luck: Are you feeling romantic? I hope so!

Pisces

February 20 – March 20

You can no longer ignore what the current solar eclipse is highlighti­ng. Over the next month you should check up on both your bodily health and your financial health. This is an opportunit­y to put things right for the longer term. Ask your partner to nag you into making healthy choices. They will probably find this both inspiring and fun. Your Luck: Healthier eating and fewer bad choices will make a difference within weeks.

Cancer June 22 – July 22

All change for the solar eclipse! Both at work and at home, everything seems to be tied together. Plans dropped as the year began may now seem more possible. In fact, many things now seem possible! In an exciting and frankly surprising week, make the most of opportunit­ies that arise. A few hiccups with communicat­ions must not be allowed to stop you in full flow. Your Luck: Get that brain firing up to solve any problems ‘on the hoof’.

Sagittariu­s November 23 - December 21

Positive, dynamic, exceptiona­lly clear-headed and full of promise. Is that you? Well, this week it is all change from any outdated ideas and outgrown people. Seeing yourself in the most positive light possible is a revelation. You can now go in the direction that you started off in January. Sunshine, joy and laughter are just a jump away. That jump must be into the future, however, and not back! Your Luck: What is on offer is what you had hoped for.

Aries

March 21 – April 20

With a solar eclipse beginning this week, you are sure to see some exciting news. For new beginnings and new family members, this could be excellent. Something that you thought of at the beginning of the year comes around again. This time, it is more practical and more relevant. Whatever happens is sure to affect a long-standing relationsh­ip. Even if you saw it coming, there is no preparing for it. Your Luck: Just do your best and listen to wise words.
