Your Stars

Moon sign: Aries
Rising sign: Virgo
Work is what excites you — and success. Love simply holds you up, occasionally distracting you from your course. In fact, you often wonder how to fulfil your ambitions while at the same time having a life. Even so, there’s a romantic in there somewhere, reading secret poems and drooling over private fantasies. Right now you’re feeling particularly alone. By early October you’ll have found a way to include emotional vulnerability into an overachiever’s life without sacrificing either. For now, success and new adventures are your adrenalin kick. The career is changing dramatically, so much so that you’re wondering whether to leave the country or at least change lifestyles. And why not? The universe wants you to try it all until you find your place of comfort. One thing is clear: you’ll be working until you drop and loving every minute. Success will follow you wherever you go. Don’t look back. It’s all ahead of you.

AQUARIUS Jan 20 - Feb 18
You’re feeling more like your old, fabulous self as opportunities for advancement present themselves without even being asked. Travel perhaps? The chance to develop a new skill? An opportunity to display your talents? The great thing is you’re no longer fussed about the outcome. Whatever the result, your confidence is at a peak and you’re willing to try. There’s no better time to succeed. Relish it.
PISCES
Feb 19 - Mar 20
Family dramas could be the result of a shift in priorities all round. Since you’ve managed to lose touch with each other, a family meeting might not be a bad idea. As potentially ghastly as it may sound, a weekly gathering might be the medicine you need to find each other again. And, if you’re smart, to find yourself at the same time. While you’re there, explore your creative side. It’s itching to come out and play.
ARIES
Mar 21 - April 19
If anyone can tell it as it is, that would be you. Target this week for presentations and deliveries. You’re being heard. Not to mention supported. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for your love life. There’s mistrust here and peculiar fears. Pretending everything is fine is a bad idea. Dealing with each issue as it arises is better. Listening to what’s being said, and what’s not being said, would get you first prize. Give it a bash.
TAURUS
Apr 20 - May 21
The energies are with you, especially after Tuesday when your heart gets an extra little jolt. Just because you’re being tested doesn’t mean there aren’t moments of progress. Yes, you’re still rethinking your focus and personal identity, and money issues are more annoying than usual. But there are visible ways out of every dilemma. All it takes is the courage to make the moves and a heartfelt belief in your own magic.
GEMINI
May 22 - Jun 20
Remarkable changes are on the way. Look out for hints of opportunity or challenges that were meant for you. Examine and act on even the subtlest of messages. Although the planets almost never take the obvious route, an interesting change of fortune (yes, money) is almost certain to play a part. Pay attention to interesting thoughts about investing your new gifts. Or, in other words, figure out how to save some for later.
CANCER
June 21 - Jul 22
There’s turmoil all around you, with a long line of sufferers asking for help at your door. Yes? If that is the case, the universe is telling you to step back and learn to put yourself first. The point is, whenever your life gets weird you look for emotional wrecks to rescue. It helps distract you from yourself. Well, not this week. How about some therapy? Or even an honest conversation? Remember those?
LEO
Jul 23 - Aug 22
Greater insight and a new gentleness are smoothing the rough edges. As such, the timing is perfect for long-range plans. Find ways to integrate your needs with theirs in a way that lets everybody win, and think of yourself as part of a forward-moving team. Meanwhile, clear your diary. An unexpected invitation could land on your desk. Be ready to pack at a moment’s notice. The universe is sending a new adventure to keep you on your toes.
VIRGO
Aug 23 - Sep 22
That head is working like a fiend, tiring you. Not that you’re bothered. You’re having the time of your life negotiating deals, organising trips, planning new ways of handling all of the above. Keep it up. This is an important time for you. The energies are turning and you are turning with them. This is one of those weeks you’ll look back on and gasp. Start by patting yourself on the back.
LIBRA
Sep 23 - Oct 22
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 the next time round. Take it slowly. The planets are playing some very peculiar games.
SCORPIO
Oct 23 - Nov 21
The emotions are a little off so refrain from spectacular announcements. And yes, the inclination may be to dash off and catch the first train to anywhere. But that doesn’t make it the right thing to do. Truth be told, whatever you’re feeling now will probably change by Saturday. So unless your relationship is already rock solid, give it some time to show its true colours. Or yours. Meanwhile, weigh up your options.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov 22 - Dec 21
Look at you: feisty, hormonal and on the prowl. Nobody had better mess with you until further notice. You, on the other hand, need to think of more creative ways of exploring this fantastic energy. How about a dance class? Or kick-boxing? Either way, you’re currently irresistible. Start now. Write that wish list and make those demands. And make sure to be grateful for every tiny moment that gets your attention.
CAPRICORN
Dec 22 - Jan 19
The goddess of love, romance and natural class has moved in, complete with big hair and stylish new socks. So if you’re looking for love, put on your favourite smile. Meanwhile, if you’ve fallen behind at work no-one will benefit if you keel over from a stress attack. Get some help; get creative and find some people you can trust with your ideas. Fun and rewards are definitely on the cards, after you’ve done your homework, of course.
