The all-seeing Jan Jacques tells you what the stars have in store this week

Mar 20-19 Apr

You love a little high-octane living and taking heady risks. But with retrograde planets at max this week, life is less like Snakes On a Plane, and more like snails on a Skoda. Tread warily and slowly at work. Elsewhere, a loved one can still surprise you . LUCKY SONG: Mary J Blige’s Slow

TAURUS 20 Apr -20 May

A key career matter is boosted by a brilliant Uranus aspect (your work planet) this week. But a home issue needs your attention, too. Ask for help and you’ll ace both. Elsewhere, don’t lose heart if it seems like a case of no good deed goes unpunished with a pal. LUCKY BALANCE: Steady

GEMINI 21 May-20 Jun

It bores you to have to slow down. But with this week’s retrograde activity at maximum, be ultradiligent and check every last detail of a project. Elsewhere, if you have been less than transparent with your partner, confess now. In this case, honesty pays. LUCKY PACE: A measured plod

CANCER 21 Jun -22 Jul

We all walk around wondering what we’ve forgotten – it’s called being busy. So, don’t stress over a senior moment, it’s an unsettling time for Sun signs. Work-wise, be bullish about money. Your earning power is more than you think. LUCKY MINDSET: Positive

23 Jul -22 Aug

Being meticulous pays off right now. With money planet Mercury retrograde, financial issues need a second, or perhaps third, opinion. Meanwhile, how about a cheap and cheerful night in with a pal who has real money worries? LUCKY AIM: To be nit-picky

VIRGO 23 Aug -22 Sep

Grit your teeth, perfectionists. Pesky retrogrades, plus two tricky eclipses, this month may cause work hassles. Don’t try to resolve them alone – ask for help. Elsewhere, avoid an acquaintance who seems to suck the fun out of life. LUCKY CONCEPT: Teamwork

LIBRA 23 Sep-22 Oct

Need an excuse for some serious pampering? A pair of powerful eclipses may make this month a little draining, so go on – you deserve a little spa time and other treats. At work, be kind but firm if a needy colleague leans on you too much. LUCKY MASSAGE: Deep tissue

SCORPIO 23 Oct-21 Nov

It takes a lot to sap your selfesteem, but undue planetary stress will do that (thank some pesky retrogrades). Surround yourself with pals who shore you up. Work-wise, your enigmatic allure seduces a surprise someone. LUCKY SELF-BELIEF: Strong

SAGITTARIUS 22 Nov -21 Dec

You are the Sun sign who truly shines this week. With just Neptune awkwardly aligned, your spirits and bouncy energy are high. But beware burnout. Elsewhere, rich purple and violet colours really suit you right now, so adorn yourself. LUCKY LOOK: Dazzling

CAPRICORN 22 Dec-19 Jan

Ask yourself if a pal who is giving you grief right now is someone you want in your life long-term. Then discuss it with someone you really trust – and don’t feel guilty. Work-wise, spotting the funny side to a tricky issue will remove the sting. LUCKY QUALITY: Common sense

AQUARIUS 20 Jan -18 Feb

Your supportive skills are much needed this week. But it’ll be by an older authority figure, perhaps a boss, so try not to overstep the mark. Elsewhere, move outside your clothing comfy zone (be daring!) and await the compliments. LUCKY ABILITY: Shrewd

PISCES 19 Feb-19 Mar

Put your workmates to shame. A marvellous Mars aspect (your money planet) signals earning through hard graft, overtime or a second job. Relax with water-based therapy or exercise – both are very beneficial right now. LUCKY EMOJI: Person swimming
