Rising sign: Cancer
You’re so complicated, you make yourself crazier than you need to be. Since anxiety is your operating mode, any escalation should be noted and managed. Perfection is not achievable. But exciting and sustainable are. So stick with those. Your career is on the move, with interesting offers coming your way. And just because they don’t fit the standard mould doesn’t mean they’re bad ideas. Flexibility is your lesson for the year. If you believe you can be successful, you’re already halfway there. The love life could use some work. But when you’re successful, you’re already a whole lot more loving. Next year is about wealth and achievement. For now, you’re exploring your options — with a loving and forgiving heart.

GEMINI
May 21 - June 20
If it’s over, it’s over. Even so, give it a few weeks before deciding. The planets are messing with your heart, but hang in. At work move to the back row and observe. A fantastic opportunity seems imminent, but the time is not right. Give yourself space to uncover hidden agendas. Not to mention the names of your competition. Patience isn’t easy for you. You’ll have to try.
CANCER
June 21 - Jul 22
All of a sudden, you’re feeling happier with yourself. Those haunting dreams have begun to fade, and your bloom has returned — with all the confidence that goes with it. If you’re after a new love interest, now’s the time. It won’t be easy to resist you. So take your time. Life is starting to make real sense now. Pause to enjoy it. Don’t waste time waiting for the bubble to burst.
LEO
Jul 23 - Aug 22
Uh oh. So you’ve stuck your chin out and are refusing to budge? Fine, if you don’t mind a fight. Remember though, you’re not the only one who’s learnt how to be assertive. Just ask yourself whether it’s the issue or the fight you’re after. If it’s the fight, choose your weapons with care. Unless, of course, you decide to take a short break instead. Just as therapeutic. And far less call for bandages.
VIRGO
Aug 23 - Sep 22
Sometimes planning it is better than actually doing it. So go ahead, fantasise – for a while. Trust your instincts. The career is open to offers — and there are plenty of those. The love life is spinning — wild, exhausting and apparently nothing to do with you. For some reason you’ve adopted the position of onlooker — watching and (hopefully) learning, but certainly not committing. Hmmm.
LIBRA
Sep 23 - Oct 22
New friends, loves and invitations are on hand — offering times that could bring out the best in you and even make you happy. Don’t blow it. Your need for perpetual attention is something for you to work on — not for them to indulge. But that’s for later. Now you’re at your sociable, entertaining best. Everyone’s going to laugh at your jokes. Watch the spending though. It’s out of hand.
SCORPIO
Oct 23 - Nov 21
So the love life has taken an unexpected nosedive? Tighten your seatbelt. This is just the first of the changes headed your way. But not quite yet. Mostly, this week is about career progress, pay rises and annoying health problems. Oh, and watch for financial power games — games you can easily win without a shot being fired. After which, all that’s left is for you to collect the loot. Enjoy the moments while they last.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov 22 - Dec 21
Ducking and diving? Hoping someone else will sort out the tedious financial drama you find yourself in. Not so fast. You’d better take charge of this one, or you’ll end up with a pile of ashes in your lap. Actually, this is one of your peak earning periods. So take the first steps, and you’ll be helped all the way to the bank. A little creative ingenuity is all you need. And a belief in your talents.
CAPRICORN
Dec 22 - Jan 20
Brilliant ideas are always to be recommended, but now you’ll need to let someone in on your secrets. If you don’t, you’ll be so busy trying to manage the admin that someone else might thunder past with your grand plan. Yes, modesty is marvellous, but there’s no need to sabotage your own success in your determination to be the biggest and only cheese. It takes all types.
AQUARIUS
Jan 20 - Feb 18
Have you been strutting round the office, hurling abuse and driving everyone nuts? Take a cold shower and calm down. The world is unlikely to collapse if you leave the odd thing to chance. While you’re mulling over this, please note: the idea is to lead with charisma and sensitivity. You’re not required to destroy the opposition en route. Besides, you’re not even sure which ones are opposed. Some are actually on your side.
PISCES
Feb 19 - Mar 20
Your world seems like an alien place where no one understands you. You want to be with people who are different from your current friends. Relationships started now are bound to be fascinating and explosive, but short-lived. Stay in touch with home base and try to hide your impatience until you feel better. Remember, not all change is useful. But every bit is educational.
ARIES
Mar 21 - April 19
Trouble sleeping? Have a relaxing massage or a day off. No one’s impressed if you work twice the hours at half the pace, so take some time to build your reserves. While you’re thinking about that, watch your mouth. There’s a tendency to say revolting things, and then act as though nothing’s happened. That isn’t going to wash anymore. Have your apologies prepared. You’ll need them.
TAURUS
Apr 20 - May 20
There’s plenty of money to play with. Enough, even, for you to pack up and leave. Not necessarily something you ought to be doing, but certainly something you’d like to do. Unless you can arrange to have all members of your household tossed through a window. Time to calm down. A break from the routine is needed. And a rethink. A long rethink. The planets have completely new plans for you. Get ready to roll.
