The all-seeing Jan Jacques tells you what the stars have in store this week
ARIES 20 Mar-19 Apr
A blissed-out Christmas awaits. The Boxing Day solar eclipse won’t faze you, but those working may get the odd glitch. Elsewhere, a tsunami of goodwill from loved ones (and not-so-loved ones) comes from the heart, as you will find. LUCKY SONG: Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas by Judy Garland
TAURUS 20 Apr-20 May
Try not to overthink too much this Christmas. An upcoming solar eclipse in your brainy ninth house is a challenge to that enquiring mind, but try to quiet it. Meanwhile, students facing changes shouldn’t fret, they will guide you the right way. LUCKY SONG: Proper Crimbo by Bo’ Selecta
GEMINI 21 May-20 Jun
Did you ask Santa to make you an agony aunt? Thought not. A Christmas eclipse may impact and rattle loved ones, who then need reassurance from the voice of reason – you! Elsewhere, beware of hitches with hi-tech gear. LUCKY SONG: It Doesn’t Often Snow At Christmas by Pet Shop Boys
CANCER 21 Jun-22 Jul
Decisions, decisions... lots of them this Christmas. A solar eclipse plus Jupiter aspect hint that you are all about love and promises. Follow your heart. Also, while a loved one’s savings may take a hit, you’ll skate through. LUCKY SONG: 8 Days Of Christmas by Destiny’s Child
LEO 23 Jul-23 Aug
Your destiny is to dazzle this Christmas. You have the aplomb to sail through the Boxing Day solar eclipse (affecting career), knowing you can ace changes on the job front. Health-wise, get a little niggle checked out, so you can relax. LUCKY SONG: Hey Sis, It’s Christmas by Rupaul
VIRGO 24 Aug-22 Sep
Your ability to spread calm is a gift this Christmas. A seasonal solar eclipse affects children and child figures who pick up on stress. This is where you step in. Elsewhere, a Jupiter aspect hints at last-minute home repairs or renovations. LUCKY SONG: One More Sleep by Leona Lewis
LIBRA 23 Sep-22 Oct
It isn’t Christmas without a drama, and the eclipse affects family – especially parental figures. If old grievances surface, don’t rise to them. Meanwhile, try not to panic over pressies. Your good taste is obvious. LUCKY SONG: Christmas In Hollis by Run DMC
SCORPIO 23 Oct-21 Nov
Sofa slumping comes highly recommended. You’ll escape the worst of Boxing Day’s eclipse, but stay alert to the potential for little mishaps. Work-wise, a shake-up in your company could be a plus. LUCKY SONG: Christmas Wrapping by Spice Girls
SAGITTARIUS 22 Nov-21 Dec
You’ll end this year as you started it – in control. Even the Boxing Day solar eclipse in your money house is workable, though there may be a surprise decision to make. Elsewhere, let loved ones spoil you this festive period. You deserve it. LUCKY SONG: Merry Xmas by Fetty Wap ft Monty
CAPRICORN 22 Dec-19 Jan
You will be the host with the most this Christmas. You know what they want before they do (thank a spiritual Jupiter aspect). But you must enjoy it, too, so delegate ruthlessly. Elsewhere, your best gift to a sad friend is to listen to them. LUCKY SONG: Christmas In Harlem by Kanye West
AQUARIUS 20 Jan-18 Feb
It’s that time for seasonal squabbles. But if your relationship survived this year’s eclipses, the Boxing Day one will be a doddle. Just keep that saintly patience. Elsewhere, a family member has a surprise. LUCKY SONG: Merry Christmas (I Don’t Want To Fight Tonight) by the Ramones
PISCES 19 Feb-19 Mar
You deserve a serene Christmas, and it’s yours if you shake a nagging work worry. The coming eclipse impacts career, spelling positive changes, so no need to fret. Elsewhere, be the big person and forgive a relative’s slight. LUCKY SONG: Present Face by Garfunkel and Oates
