The all-seeing Jan Jacques tells you what the stars have in store this week
ARIES 20 Mar-19 Apr
You always seem to take on too much and, right now, you’re frazzled. De-stress with a tech-free evening one day this week. Just you, some tasty food, a decent book and maybe a loved one. Meanwhile, a sweet Mercury aspect hints at a lush surprise gift.
LUCKY IDEA: Unplugging
TAURUS 20 Apr-20 May
Break out the power suit as your money planet Mercury shifts into gear. A brilliant week for business and finance, it usually pays to look the part, too (and you do rock that look very well, indeed. Elsewhere, a mate’s off-centre advice could actually work. LUCKY ACCESSORY: Shoulder pads
GEMINI 21 May-20 Jun
Sometimes you just have to give in gracefully. Planetary power flows to others this week, leaving you far less independent. But taking a back seat at work may actually benefit you later down the line. Socially, though, that wicked wit may win you a surprise admirer.
LUCKY TALENT: Adaptability
CANCER 21 Jun-22 Jul
Try to see the big picture if your emotions seesaw. This time next week you’ll have forgotten it. For now (helped by a strong 4th house of Family), lean on loved ones. Work-wise, you may be about to come in for high praise. LUCKY SONG: Temporary Mood Swings by Soko
LEO 23 Jul-23 Aug
Don’t try to change if a friend is extra-snooty this week; it’s their problem. As Madonna (also a Leo) says, “I refuse to act the way someone expects me to.” At home, though, you’re No1 as that fierce 4th house means lots of love and family support.
LUCKY DESCRIPTION: Unique
VIRGO 24 Aug-23 Sep
Rethink your tough-love approach to a family member. You’re looking out for them, but it’ll only work if you sweeten them up. Elsewhere, pesky retrograde Venus still prevents a spending spree, but someone close wants to treat you. LUCKY FACIAL EXPRESSION: Kindly
LIBRA 23 Sep-22 Oct
Change bothers you, but try to embrace it. A superb Neptune aspect hints a new or altered job could lift you, so don’t shy away. Elsewhere, your love instincts are spot-on, even if painful. But your heart won’t hurt for long.
LUCKY SONG: Change by Christina Aguilera
SCORPIO 23 Oct-21 Nov
Oooh Scorchio! Venus and the Sun in your sign mean charisma and super-hotness. But be careful – with only two planets in stressful alignment, extra energy makes you rash. Think first. Work-wise, this verve may open a door for you.
LUCKY COLOUR: Fire engine red
SAGITTARIUS 22 Nov- 21 Dec
Your sheer force of will, plus Jupiter’s shift, means you can make things happen at work. But don’t be caught out by a silly blip. Still, health-wise, no stressful planetary alignment means extra pep. Use it to rally a timely family get-together.
LUCKY EMOJI: Gust of air
CAPRICORN 22 Dec-19 Jan
It’s sweet harmony on the social front. A fine Venus/mercury aspect signals fun with old friends (and some new ones). Work-wise, don’t stall an idea – the chance may not be there next week.
LUCKY QUOTE: “No one looks stupid when they’re having fun” (Amy Poehler)
AQUARIUS 20 Jan-18 Feb
Careful how you flirt this week. The Sun (your love planet) in your 10th house hints at a frisson with a colleague, possibly a boss. Keep it light and airy. Meanwhile, you must be more tactful at home, as someone important is still feeling a bit raw. LUCKY MANNER: Demure
PISCES 19 Feb-19 Mar
Your spooky ability to keep secrets may be sorely tested this week. But just think how much better you’ll feel not spilling. Meanwhile, your money planet Mars in your 12th house hints that a potential bargain is worth a gamble.
LUCKY MANTRA: Hush-hush
