Your stars

Your heavenly destiny for the week December 23-29

Capricorn DEC 23 – JAN 20

With a solar eclipse and five planets energising your sign, it’s time to think big and step outside your comfort zone. At the very least, make an early resolution. As your social life shifts into overdrive, new clothes and cosmetics may prove irresistible – your choices should be spot on.

Taurus APR 21 – MAY 21

As work and family frustrations fade, your visions of the future become much clearer. Some Bulls may even catch a glimpse of a new career path. Adding to the upbeat vibe, a difficult person might improve almost overnight. Couples, a change of scenery could reignite the romance.

Virgo AUG 24 – SEP 23

Look out, everybody, the party princess is here! As the festive season kicks into top gear, concerts and social events should keep you busy – just don’t ruin the vibe by doing too much. Attractions this month are likely to be instant, so singles, don something sparkly and get yourselves out there.

Aquarius JAN 21 – FEB 19

You’re diving in deep, but skimming the surface can be boring. Eclipses can stir up deep feelings and fears, but conversations should prove both enlightening and cathartic. Hidden talents may also be revealed, so start digging or revisit a pastime you once loved.

Gemini MAY 22 – JUN 21

Fresh starts await, but first, it’s “out with the old”. A desire to declutter your life could become an obsession through summer. As a bonus, cupboard clear-outs might boost your bank balance. Ironically, as you begin to offload surplus items, a generous gift or inheritance could take you by surprise.

Libra SEP 24 – OCT 23

Your calendar is bursting at the seams and your home may be too, with guests (both invited and unexpected) drawn to your openness and hospitality. A generous gift or offer could leave you flabbergasted, as could connecting with a quirky new person on the singles scene. Go for it!

Pisces FEB 20 – MAR 20

For many Pisceans, a phase of life is winding up, but you know what they say: “When one door closes, another one opens.” Whether it’s a new business, health overhaul or different lifestyle, you’ll be up for a challenge in 2020. Dreams really can come true, so make a wish under Thursday’s magical eclipse!

Cancer JUN 22 – JUL 23

Connections are being made. Your relationship zone is crackling with energy. For many Crabs, love will grow this summer. For couples who have been ignoring cracks, the bright light may feel harsh. As a desire for stimulation intensifies, catch some live music or explore the city.

Scorpio OCT 24 – NOV 22

The festive flurry may be increasing, but make time for fun. Parties and events could exceed your expectations and may even set the scene for new – or renewed – romance. December’s energetic patterns might propel you out of town, so keep your fuel tank topped up – and remember, the more the merrier!

Aries MAR 21 – APR 20

This week’s eclipse could set your mind (and body!) racing. To save your sanity, make checklists and opt for simplicity. Conversations may get you excited, but remember, the best brews take time to percolate. Dust off the juicer on Saturday and give your system a spring clean.

Leo JUL 24 – AUG 23

Eat, drink, be merry, then launch a health kick on Sunday. With a supercharged eclipse spurring you on, the results could prove impressive. New recipes and routines might work a treat, not just for you, but for the whole family. If skills need updating in the kitchen and beyond, start researching courses.

Sagittarius NOV 23 – DEC 22

You’ve got the golden touch, so let yourself dream. Plans made during summer could prove lucrative for you and for a cause close to your heart. Under the midweek eclipse, a windfall might even materialise – just don’t get carried away on Boxing Day. Sunday looks far more sensible.
