Your Stars

TAURUS Apr 20 - May 20

The planets are shifting — and they’re almost at your door. So what do they want? Start with changes in everyday routines – and, yikes, even in your career. You’ll have to be open to a whole range of new ideas, of the type that will knock you (temporarily) off your complacent little perch. Don’t fret. You can do this. Just try not to take your problems home. You’re inclined to dump your insecurities on the ones you love most.

GEMINI May 21 - June 20

Feeling all alone in the world? Guess what? You’re not the only one. Times of change are often lonely. But they don’t need to be. Call a friend, or make some new ones. And remind yourself that no matter how weird you’re feeling, there are always people who can benefit from your kindness and courage. Meanwhile, your strength is growing, as you find emotional sustenance.

CANCER June 21 - Jul 22

What’s been going on with your money? Whatever it is, the rewards are on their way. Nothing enormous – but enough to make you smile. And while you’re feeling so impressed with yourself, why not book a short break with someone you like. If there are meetings planned, note your natural responses are more likely to get the point across than reams of prepared notes.

LEO Jul 23 - Aug 22

Does it feel as though you’ve suddenly been given cosmic permission to be as bizarre as you like. And with that, you slowly realise that your mission is not so much to be different as to be truly yourself. The trick now is to discover just who that is. Start by unearthing the person you’ve been hiding for so long, you’ve lost track of the details. And then play around until you’re happy.

VIRGO Aug 23 - Sep 22

What’s happening to all the people you love? Lost track, haven’t you? Well, they’re missing you — and if you don’t rush over with cookies this instant, that longing could turn into pouting and rage. Besides, you need to know what’s going on in their lives. For as magnificent as you are, not even you could qualify as an island. When you’ve done that, head for the lover.

LIBRA Sep 23 - Oct 22

Doesn’t it drive you crazy when you try so hard to stick to the straight and narrow — and little detours keep popping up from the side-streets? Well, you have two choices. You can fight like mad to keep your spot; or you can try something new. Then, if you’re not happy with the result, you can always jump back on the old road. What the heck. Isn’t it time you allowed yourself a little fun?

SCORPIO Oct 23 - Nov 21

Pay attention. This week brings fabulous opportunities to improve your life. There’s luck too — a gift of money perhaps or a win on the horses. But aside from all that, spend some time with yourself. Your instincts are positively wild, as you tune in to forces you didn’t know existed. You need to acknowledge your many gifts – and then use them. One by one.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 22 - Dec 21

All your fabulously creative endeavours are about to be recognised — and even applauded. Which means, overnight, you could become the flavour of the next day. One thing though. Admirers may be falling over themselves to touch the hem of your toga. Try to remember that not all of them are completely sincere. And enjoy the game anyway. But save a few moments for personal transformation.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20

Trust has always been an issue. But hasn’t it dawned on you yet that no human being survives a life free from betrayal? The phrase to remember is: “So what?” And the lesson is that life must be lived in spite of the consequences. Besides, are you always a hundred percent trustworthy yourself? Stop being so judgemental. It’s time to lighten up.

AQUARIUS Jan 20 - Feb 18

Just for a change, there's more energy here than you know what to do with. Try planning your days to include some workouts and the occasional jog. Used well, this high-voltage splurge can take you anywhere you want to go. Used badly, it'll have you yelling at everyone in sight, demanding attention and generally driving the folks bananas. So be good.

PISCES Feb 19 - Mar 20

Ignore the line of nosy parkers trying to run your life. And sure, there’s always advice to be had. But it’s entirely up to you whether you take it or not. And right now, the planets are convinced that no one is more capable of directing your destiny than sweet little you. So block your ears and go with what sounds the most fun. And yes, that does mean taking responsibility for all outcomes. But so what? It’s called growing up.

ARIES Mar 21 - April 19

Some powerful decisions need to be made. Problems with joint finance (or people trying to control your money) could be ironed out if you’re open to change. And a little risk. Even so, it could be time to end a partnership that has served its purpose. Don’t be afraid to plunge into the abyss — even if it means moving somewhere completely new.
