Your Stars

- By Linda Shaw

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20

Wednesday’s Capricorn new moon teams up with the planets of love, mastery, communicat­ion and transforma­tion to launch you into a year of personal fabulousne­ss. Nothing can go wrong this week, unless your absurd fear of change trips you up. Remember, this is not so much about what you want, as the way it has to be. Ultimately, you’ll discover they’re both the same thing.

AQUARIUS Jan 20 - Feb 18

It’s a happy, loving week. Even those occasional thoughtles­s remarks are flying past unnoticed. Partners are generous, and your tiny flaws are indulged as endearing eccentrici­ties. Spend the week rehearsing your communicat­ion skills – just in case. Your planets are making extra demands after Wednesday, and, if you’re not careful, you’ll forget how to censor yourself.

PISCES Feb 19 - Mar 20

Wondering what’s happened to your life’s work? Your dreams of greatness? Your plans to save the world? Hold that thought. The planets have slowed down for a second look. Are you sure you want so much? The truth is, most Pisceans prefer the fantasy of fame and fortune hidden behind a gentler life. This truly is a week to be careful what you wish for. You can’t give it back once you’ve got it, you know.

ARIES Mar 21 - April 19

The folks are clamouring for attention, threatenin­g to drive you over the edge. Say something to appease them until you’re feeling better. You feel lost without them, even if they do drive you crazy. Keep a close eye on your money; someone’s trying to take it from you. Not to worry, fabulous arrivals will easily cover your costs much sooner than you dared hope.

TAURUS Apr 20 - May 20

Love gets happier as your needs find a more realistic outlet. Instead of trying to perfect the people in your life, try locating their inner magic. That part is already perfect. Besides, you’ll have more time to play as the job market shifts and the money markets take an interestin­g new turn. But new parameters are needed. And exploratio­n is the key.

GEMINI May 21 - June 20

Isn’t this great? Suddenly everyone seems to be thinking the same way you do – or at least understand­ing where you’re coming from. Use this week, particular­ly after Wednesday’s new moon, for big announceme­nts, dramatic plans and amazing trips. Organisati­on is the key, though – something you’d better pay someone else to manage. For now, you get to wallow in the good stuff – anywhere your imaginatio­n can take you.

CANCER June 21 - Jul 22

Relationsh­ips need resolution and Wednesday’s new moon makes sure you get first option. Being stubborn, you tend to stick around too long – which leaves your fate in cosmic hands more often than you’d like. Consider yourself warned. No one knows what you want, but you. This month brings a deliciousl­y rare blue moon. You can have whatever you want.

LEO Jul 23 - Aug 22

Excellent. Your spending has calmed down to a panic and, for the first time in ages, you know where your money is, or isn’t. Next step: focus on a career that is taking off in giant leaps. Obviously, applause would be nice, but that may have to wait until Wednesday’s new moon shows you the way. Next week you’ll have help. This week, you get to show ‘em what you’re made of.

VIRGO Aug 23 - Sep 22

It's a simple week. Hard work and romance included as you launch yourself into a fascinatin­g new year with vigour. If you're already in love, get some interestin­g underwear. If you're looking, just open the door – wearing the underwear. New friends are in the offing too, as everyone wants to join your circle. Work is a slog, but that's okay. There’s a point to all this. You’ll see — nothing ends the way it started.

LIBRA Sep 23 - Oct 22

Having fun still seems more important than anything else because your year starts later than theirs. So if everyone’s calling you a slob, laugh and invite them to your next party. Truly, this is one of those times when life’s purpose eludes you – in favour of the next cocktail. Fortunatel­y, the people who love you are taking care of business. Be grateful. Enjoy the moment.

SCORPIO Oct 23 - Nov 21

The cosmos created this week especially for you. Not one minute to be wasted on guilt, regret or any other self criticism. Which leaves the field free for … what? The problem is you’ve spent so much time pandering to others, you’ve forgotten your own dreams. So it’s time to experiment. Try everything until you see something you like. Set fire to those creative instincts.

SAGITTARIU­S Nov 22 - Dec 21

It won't be easy, but try doing one thing at a time. And actually finishing it before you embark on something new. Needless to say, the temptation­s to lose your focus will be endless. But there are things like integrity and reputation at stake. Not only that. If you can follow through this time, you're much more likely to be taken seriously next time round. Take it slowly. The planets are playing some very peculiar games.
