Jan Jacques tells you what the stars have in store this week

ARIES 20MAR-19APR

You have the Midas touch. A terrific Venus/jupiter transit hints at healthy finances, plus a surprise gain. Your taste is inspired, so you know how to spend it, too. It’s the same story in love, with warmth and passion heading your way.

LUCKY SAYING: Winner, winner, chicken dinner

TAURUS 20APR-20MAY

Juice things up a bit this week, Taurus. Playing safe with travel or holiday plans is fine, but you’re in the mood to branch out for once, so why not follow your hunch? Meanwhile, a promising Jupiter transit suggests a loved one’s finances are set for a boost.

LUCKY NEED: A little excitement

GEMINI 21MAY-20JUN

You have the strength to make key changes at home and/or work. Your powerful 1st house is a real tonic and may shrink a fear, so what’s stopping you? Absolutely nothing. Single? Surprise love – or lust – at first sight may grab you.

LUCKY PROSPECTS: Brimming with promise

CANCER 21JUN-22JUL

Finance doesn’t usually ring your bell, but this week a sweet Sun transit (your money planet) says different. Trust your gut when it comes to investments – a calculated risk should be rewarding. Meanwhile, a tidying spree may turn up something you thought was long lost.

LUCKY OUTCOME: Super-efficiency

LEO 23JUL-23AUG

Backing out of a battle may be your kindest move this week. You’re in the right, but a loved one may not be up to a dispute. They’ll thank you later (honest). Workwise, someone’s change – perhaps a small loss – is a big gain for you.

LUCKY POSSESSION: A strong, generous heart

VIRGO 24 AUG-23 SEP

You’re in danger of overthinking a work issue. The Sun’s shift into your career house suggests helpful new contacts – it’s fine to take them at face value. Meanwhile, a friendship tested (thank you, lunar eclipse fallout) should survive and thrive.

LUCKY DIRECTION: Full speed ahead

LIBRA 23 SEP-22 OCT

You’re a great listener, but can only give so much. Don’t be drawn into the dramas of bosses or colleagues (blame lingering lunar eclipse effects). They know you have a job to do. Elsewhere, last minute and possibly daring travel plans could make your year, so don’t be afraid to be bold.

LUCKY DECISION: Holding back

SCORPIO 23 OCT-21 NOV

A little white lie won’t compromise you, nor will it bother the loved one whose feelings remain unhurt. Your kind heart trumps blunt honesty this week. Elsewhere, lunar eclipse fallout can affect communications, so be extra-cautious on social media.

LUCKY MOVE: Watching your words

SAGITTARIUS 22 NOV-21 DEC

Life sparkles with the Sun’s shift into your 7th house of love. Socially, you’re on fire, and singletons especially are in demand – but don’t be roped into something that doesn’t excite you purely out of a sense of duty. Elsewhere, a passing remark shows how admired you are.

LUCKY EXPECTATION: Adulation

CAPRICORN 22 DEC-19 JAN

Tap the brakes this week and bypass brief low energy caused by pesky short-term planets. This is one time when paring back your diary is smart, even if you’re worried about missing out. Moneywise, hang fire on a big buy – there may be a super bargain around the corner.

LUCKY GIFT TO YOURSELF: More time

AQUARIUS 20 JAN-18 FEB

There’s a handy upside to lingering lunar eclipse effects. The moon being your health planet, positive changes in regime and routine lie ahead, and you have the focus to ace them. Elsewhere, a friend’s drama may not be quite what it seems. Be prepared to listen and learn.

LUCKY LIKELIHOOD: Oodles of energy

PISCES 19 FEB-19 MAR

Friends aren’t faultless and fallout from last week’s lunar eclipse may test a pal. Give them space and it could strengthen your bond. Elsewhere, different music or literature may give you unexpected joy.

LUCKY SONG: Something New by Zendaya
