STAR-STRUCK

Your horoscope

Gemini 21 May – 20 Jun

Butterflying around the social scene is either second nature or phobia to you – Geminis are wired like that. But strap on your big-girl boots for a stimulating few weeks peppered with new people and the potential for both spiritual and material gain. Accept invitations, hold your own in convos and generally be a contented crowd-pleaser. There’s loot to be had with this can-do attitude.

Libra 23 Sept – 22 Oct

Why not fly the comfort zone coop and do something daring – outrageous, even – before your sense of decorum kicks in? Naturally, there’s good reason; any radical shuffle of your daily routine yields bountiful rewards now. A little less caution and a measure of minx behaviour isn’t going to hurt anyone. In fact, you’re long overdue for a break from the humdrum. At the very, very least, get a henna tattoo.

Aquarius 20 Jan – 18 Feb

Taking action is better than doing nothing, so if you’re feeling stuck, make a move. There’s no room for dithering; you’ll slip backwards if you’re not skipping forward now. It’s simple: no matter how tiny, change is vital for bulking up energy and honing short-term goals. Start small, if you must: change breakfast cereals, swear off Facebook for three days, or chop your hair.

Cancer 21 Jun – 22 Jul

The practical bit of your brain – that part you avoid during Sunday lie-ins – is stepping up to the plate with a plan. The navel-gazing of the past few months has paid off – you’re clearer about where you’re going (mostly). Gather yourself and make firm decisions rather than putting off difficult choices or slouching back into the comfy blankie of procrastination. Honestly, this is a good time to do great things.

Scorpio 23 Oct – 21 Nov

The worst experiences are often the ones that teach us the most. While you’d rather not, there’s really no harm in facing challenges head-on. Bumps and obstacles are child’s play now, as much as they annoy. Expect the unexpected, specially on the work front. But know that internally, where your ageless, wise-woman Self lives, nothing is insurmountable. Especially for a stellar Scorpio with street smarts.

Pisces 19 Feb – 20 Mar

What do you want? Have you considered how you’ll live your best life, being the person you

truly are? Do a stock-take – and be ruthless about it. This approach to reinventing yourself may result in casualties: the loss of old connections, habits and ways of thinking. Tough. Your soul needs a break, and the only way to achieve that is to be totally honest – with yourself and everyone else.

Leo 23 Jul – 22 Aug

All the universe asks is that you show up. It’s that simple. There’s a mystical mojo bringing together ideal circumstances and people – and you’re central to its success. Be on your best behaviour for a spell and keep eyes and ears primed for new and useful information. Working with others towards a common objective feels right and should yield impressive results, especially if you’re in charge.

Sagittarius 22 Nov – 21 Dec

Focus – that’s the mantra. Do whatever you must to colour every action with this powerful antidote to apathy, lethargy and general blegh-ness. A mind on target is a beautiful thing, and you have the best opportunity now to get going; be smart and keep at it. We mostly start off enthusiastically and end up limping to the finish line (if we get there at all). Not you. Not this time. Feel the fear and focus anyway.

Aries 21 Mar – 19 Apr

Luck curls around you like a cat, giving extra chutzpah to that crown you’re wearing. Life at work may change rapidly, but you’re wearing courage and charm like a diva. Be aware that this run of good fortune is an opportunity to goal-seek, tie up loose ends and mend bridges – so use it or lose it. Nothing is more beautiful than an Aries on a mission; the time is now.

Virgo 23 Aug – 22 Sept

Things are looking good. Generally, relationships are warm and fuzzy, but guard against snappy comebacks, which are more likely during this highly charged phase. In fact, your month’s mission might involve peacekeeping and diplomacy – there are so many egos to soothe. Be a good friend, stay out of trouble and don’t take sides. Your wisdom is a prized commodity; spread it generously.

Capricorn 22 Dec – 19 Jan

If anything feels off-key, best you heed the red flag and initiate a clean-up. There’s a subtle change of attitude on the cards, meaning that you won’t be taken for a ride as easily. About time. Your generosity is a fabled fact – but don’t be a doormat. Sit quietly and observe your surroundings and connections – without resentment or anger. Then, gently extricate yourself from situations of little benefit.

Taurus 20 Apr – 20 May

Your sense of justice rattles cages and challenges glass ceilings. You’re determined to do better – which includes healing the world one good deed at a time. Take stock of negatives in your orbit as they drain saintly energy and prevent you making an impact where it matters. Choose only helpful people and projects worthy of your talent and time. You’re on a winning streak.
