The all-seeing Jan Jacques tells you what the stars have in store this week
Tuesday 6 - Monday 12 August
20 Mar-19 Apr
Have yourself a guilt-free treat this week. A gorgeous Venus aspect hints that buying a little something yields a big feel-good boost. Workwise, capitalise on a boss who never listens. Just make positive noises, chuck in a compliment or two, and you can do no wrong. LUCKY EXPRESSION: Big smile
TAURUS 20 Apr-20 May
As sharp as you generally are, stay on red alert money-wise this week, Taurus. Swiftly moving Mercury (your finance planet) is in your favour, but beware seductive sellers. Elsewhere, you can’t please everyone you love, so don’t kill yourself trying. Just please yourself for once. LUCKY MOVE: Wising up
GEMINI 21 May-20 Jun
Getting your message across is easy right now, thanks to a superstrong 3rd house. Writers, bloggers, teachers and sellers – you are on fire, but beware being too assertive. This works the other way, too – you absorb information like a sponge this week, so get learning. LUCKY SKILLS: Communicative
CANCER 21 Jun-22 Jul
Now is the time to streamline your clutter and make some money. A superb Sun aspect signals a spoton week for selling what you don’t need. Elsewhere, don’t feel guilty for not flattering a pal who is fishing for unlikely compliments. LUCKY STATE: On-the-ball
23 Jul-23 Aug
Love is so easy… said no Leo, ever. Your own planet of love, Uranus, goes retrograde, hinting that little complications pile up. You need to be straight-talking – no power play. Elsewhere, gold and orange tones are uplifting for you. LUCKY DIRECTION: Straight from the heart
VIRGO 24 Aug-22 Sep
Don’t be careless with cash now. A tricky Venus aspect signals your good sense is in short supply when spending, so steer clear of a splurge. Work-wise, a recent task is about to earn you plaudits. Just be sure to own them. LUCKY SOUND: Loud praise
LIBRA 23 Sep-22 Oct
You escape pesky retrograde planets this week, so a little health niggle may clear up on its own, and few stressful alignments signal general good health. Elsewhere, you may get away with ditching a low priority job at work. LUCKY MUSE: Houdini
SCORPIO 23 Oct-21 Nov
You work way too smart to let someone else steal your credit. So, watch out for a sneaky colleague who doesn’t have your class – and feel free to give them a rocket. Health-wise, a Mars aspect hints you should try a new wellness idea. LUCKY MINDSET: Protective
SAGITTARIUS 22 Nov- 21 Dec
You may well be the Sun sign getting all the action this week. Your love planet Mercury’s speedy path signals spontaneous fun and frolics, so make the most of it while it lasts. Elsewhere, don’t let someone guilt trip you into an outing you’re not feeling. LUCKY SONG: Hot Hot Hot
CAPRICORN 22 Dec-19 Jan
Tread carefully now, as Uranus’ retrograde (your money planet) will drag on, but a finance matter won’t wait. Forewarned is forearmed: expect niggles, take lots of advice and hope for a dash of luck. Elsewhere, a friend may admit you were right all along. LUCKY MINDSET: So ready
AQUARIUS 20 Jan-18 Feb
You know you need to get a handle on your finances (blame money planet Neptune still retrograde). Start the process now and you’ll soon feel that weight lifting from your shoulders. Work-wise, ignore irritating office virtue signallers – they’ll hate that! LUCKY AIM: Acting all grown-up
PISCES 19 Feb-19 Mar
You are in the mood for a battle at work, thanks to a fiendish 6th house. You’d win, but it won’t get that far. Your show of dignity is what really matters this time. Health-wise, a face massage may help those stuffy sinuses, so treat yourself. LUCKY ESSENTIAL OIL: Eucalyptus
