Thinking of making a move but wondering how you’ll cope on your own? Don’t give it another thought. You’ve been through a few difficult years and you’re finally ready for a new adventure. Stop waiting for the perfect moment. It’s only when you take a step that the universe rushes forward to help. Besides, your career is about to take an interesting turn. You have extraordinary ambitions and you may need a little patience for the realities to catch up with your dreams. But everything is happening as it needs to, although you may need to reassess your family requirements before making decisions for them. Essentially, you have a powerful life ahead. And the really good stuff is about to start. In fact, the only real problem is that ongoing need to control every move. Once you release the reins, your life will start to flow as it must. Trust yourself. Trust the universe; it’s on your side.

SCORPIO
Oct 23 - Nov 21
Things couldn’t be better. It’s not just that your birthday is so close, although that brings an extra dose of sunshine. The fact is your heart is so full of good feelings, it’s about to overflow. Which means great relationships, talents jostling for first place, obedient planets, interesting adventures and a happy week. All you need now is an exciting new place to invest your money. Eyes peeled.
SAGITTARIUS Nov 22 - Dec 21
So much is happening at once, you’d be crazy to hope that your life will be sorted out in one go. Tantrums and the occasional blaming session will doubtless become part of your day. Alternatively, you might take some time off to indulge in the kind of adventure that keeps you sane. Either way, be nice to the lovers. They don’t mean to upset you; they just happen to have different opinions to yours.
CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 19
Make the most of this week. The hard slog is on its way so take some time off now to build up your strength. Have some fun. How about a romantic evening with someone delicious? Your love life needs a reminder of its value. Start a daily journal. These are important times and should not be forgotten. Otherwise? More smelling of roses, please. Tell yourself daily that you deserve the very best of everything. You seem to have forgotten that.
AQUARIUS Jan 20 - Feb 18
Foreign travel inspires hope, and could even bring new love. Don’t be afraid to bring someone home with you; the pros far outweigh the obvious cons. Still, you’ll have to make communication a priority. Dramatic changes are always more difficult if you insist on keeping your fears to yourself. So speak up. No one will like you any less if you make an idiot of yourself. Meanwhile, keep a lookout for a new job offer.
PISCES
Feb 19 - Mar 20
If you’ve hung in through the emotional storms, love will be looking good. If not, take a long, slow look around you. Someone is turning your way. And while you’re waiting for that to manifest, focus on a career that’s in a happy mood. This is one of those times to work like a dog – but with purpose. Your efforts are being noticed; put in an extra spurt. Every time you feel overwhelmed take a slow walk around the block. Everything is exactly as it should be.
ARIES
Mar 21 - April 19
Travel is related to business. Learning is related to travel. And money is so much easier to handle. In short, this is one of your better weeks. Even your love life sings a happy – albeit mildly complicated – song. Not that you’ll be around much to handle any flak. In fact, there’s so much movement here, you’ll scarcely have time to pack. Keep an overnight bag in your car. And make friends with everyone you meet.
TAURUS
Apr 20 - May 21
Just because markets are odd, doesn’t mean there’s no money to be made. So if you’ve got any spare, get some investment advice. Your instincts are good, so listen to the experts and then choose. More personally, it’s time to finally let go of something that’s actually been over for ages. Just try not to confuse sentiment with something deeper. Besides, you won’t be alone for long. The love goddess is always close by.
GEMINI
May 22 - Jun 20
Mysterious messages and unexpected calls take on a strange significance as you add up the signals. Which is fine as long as you don’t start imagining psychic messages in the wallpaper. If you’re looking for guidance, you’ll probably get it. But remember, it’s only guidance. The decisions are always up to you. Career changes are afoot; be ready to take a plunge. A new adventure is exactly what you need.
CANCER
June 21 - Jul 22
Strangely, despite the increased hassles of daily life, your perception of the world has greatly improved. The reason is a greater focus on your inner life – dreams, fantasies, and that wonderful intuition you’re so famous for. You’ve finally come to realise life is only as good or bad as you think it is; a wonderful place from which to grow. Just stay flexible and you’ll triumph. Make a list of desires so you’ll know which direction to travel.
LEO
Jul 23 - Aug 22
Initiative is what counts now. From next week, your world lightens up as a childlike sense of fun literally changes your tune. Use this week to finish off the grown-up stuff. And if the family’s complaining that you’re never at home, ask for one more week’s grace. Powerful, long-term changes can be made this week. But you’ll need to be awake to make them. Don’t let guilt push you to miss your chance.
VIRGO
Aug 23 - Sep 22
Plans and wishes tend to be a tad idealistic, so better pull in the reins and think again. Only misery can result from overblown ambitions, especially if the end results are based on high expectations of others. The real issue, of course, is that you want to be in charge of everything. Try leaving some room for error. In fact, when you stand back and let the world come to you, you’ll be more delighted with the results than even you anticipated.
LIBRA
Sep 23 - Oct 22
If you let them, the planetary energies will push you in exactly the right direction. Don’t fight them. Your powers are at their peak, so tune in to that part of you that loves a challenge – and turn on your engine! And while you’re at it, keep a close watch on the spending. Money burns enormous holes in your pockets when you’re in this mood, and you’ll need a little extra to kit you out for the next adventure.
