HOROSCOPE

Aquarius

(Jan 21 - Feb 18) Best Day: Tuesday

Kick off your shoes and let the events of this past year disappear. You have every right to demand a break. It’s been a traumatic time - but your Aquarian courage and compassion rarely waned. Better still, you’ve survived, and emerged stronger and wiser for it. So, treat yourself to something luxurious and extravagant - let the pampering begin.

Pisces

(Feb 19 - March 20) Best Day: Saturday

It’s time to clear your work schedule and then relax. Here’s your chance to let everyone know how much they mean to you. And even though you may have joined the festivities later than most, you should still be lucky in love. Week’s end brings a time for spa and holiday treats. For yourself and perhaps, a special partner.

Aries

(March 21 - April 20) Best Day: Sunday

Ariens are aching to cut loose from work. Any sense of discipline disappears under a pile of gift-wrapped presents. But you should also steal some quiet time for yourself. Sexually, the cosmos sends adoring thoughts around your love sector. Watch your expectations though, as this isn’t a rock-solid phase. But what better time for a fling?

Taurus

(April 21 - May 20) Best Day: Friday

Most Taureans can look forward to a relatively stress-free Christmas. If anyone deserves a few weeks of relaxation, it’s you. For many, it’s been a tough year. Life feels happier this week, with your social activity and sexuality soaring. And don’t worry too much about money. It seems that there’s more than enough to spare.

Gemini

(May 21 - June 21) Best Day: Wednesday

Slow it up, Gemini. This week asks that you let some of that stress fall away. There’ll always be commitments to worry over but during the festive season - you should rediscover the art of play. You can also expect steady financial improvement, even a sudden windfall. If so, to deny yourself a few luxuries would be a waste.

Cancer

(June 22 - July 22) Best Day: Tuesday

This week finds you fuelled with an irrepressible optimism. As a result, windfalls and wild excursions are likely. Major planetary influences tempt you towards spending sprees or speculation (well, it is the silly season!). But your real wealth lies in the goodwill of others. You love - and are loved. It’s group hugs all around.

Leo

(July 23 - Aug 23) Best Day: Wednesday

Christmas is a gift in itself, and you deserve it. Look forward to a shower of love and pleasure. Festivities always encourage extravagance - and there’s no harm in stretching the bank balance. What’s the silly season for, if not to have fun? Those with free time should make the best of a sexual attraction.

Virgo

(Aug 24 - Sept 22) Best Day: Sunday

At work, many Virgos have recently found a new kind of success and attention. Now that all the hard work is done, you should also take time for play. And you may as well surrender what’s left of your dwindling finances to the party season. That’s what the festivities are for. Just aim for a better financial game plan in January.

Libra

(Sept 23 - Oct 23) Best Day: Saturday

The mood is a happy one, although some family members can still draw you into those predictable Christmas spats (every December, like clockwork.…) Better news: an unexpected financial reward. Love also looks exquisite as the year unwinds. When the cosmos aims its desires towards Venus, erotic temptation pulses through every vein.

Scorpio

(Oct 24 - Nov 22) Best Day: Thursday

Surrender the sterner stuff to the past year and indulge the silly season. If love has been under lock and key, Venus declares an amnesty. Don’t concern yourself with money issues. Free up and unwind. Look forward to a renewed openness with family or an estranged friend - the divide might not be as great as you think.

Sagittarius

(Nov 23 - Dec 21) Best Day: Tuesday

It’s a week to put your life back on course. If energy levels are low, take a break early in the week to recharge your batteries before the Christmas festivities really sets in. Year’s end quivers with excitement. Start working your social list and make sure you grab all the cash on offer. You deserve every reward.

Capricorn

(Dec 22 - Jan 20) Best Day: Monday Someone’s sneaky behaviour has been causing suspicion lately, so you may want to clear the air before hitting the festive scene. Thankfully, a happier cosmos lightens the mood for now. Professional plans are put on the back burner - not surprising really, as it is the silly season! Mars also encourages flirty communication and financial flamboyance.
