Leo

July 24 – August 23

Last weekend opened your eyes to new possibilit­ies. This week gives you the chance to start putting them into action. With Mercury the messenger on your side, you have every right to be optimistic. If you want others to help you then simply showing your own enthusiasm should be enough. Inspiring others strengthen­s your own feelings.

Sagittariu­s

November 23 – December 21

Personal and intimate growth is the theme for this week and much of the month ahead. Perhaps you decide to move ahead with a romance, even bringing a marriage. Children are able to show you clearly what you do and do not want. Just be open- minded. The heart is in the home and it is a truly moving emotional period.

Aries

March 21 – April 20

A lighter week brings with it a chance to try again moves that have failed in the past. It is a time to be optimistic and forward- looking. With Mercury the messenger turning direct as the week begins, others are suddenly more open to your ideas and suggestion­s. A romance that has been ticking away in the background could now become more permanent.

Virgo

August 24 – September 23

Chats with family and friends last weekend are almost certainly set to inspire this week. It’s a hectic and sometimes confusing time. Keep a hold of what is going on around you to make the most of it. This is not a time to drift but one in which to take control. Cram in lots of time with like- minded people, both at home and work. Spending leisure time together is fun and relaxing.

Capricorn

December 20 - January 21

Partnershi­ps have been highlighte­d before by last week’s New Moon. This influence continues. Your personal feelings are confirmed about a loved one. Perhaps you will now make a firm commitment. At work, again, partnershi­ps grow and can bring a great deal of progress. Look ahead with finances for opportunit­ies will come up quickly.

Taurus

April 21 – May 21

At the tail end of last week, Venus came along to give love a boost. You should still be feeling the love all around you. Of course, you do have to be willing to give a bit of encouragem­ent! Stay sharp with finances and some hiccups in this area can be soothed. A fast- moving start to the week slows down towards the weekend, when you again have time for romance.

Libra

September 24 – October 23

Flashes of intuition fire your imaginatio­n. A loved one is in for a surprise when this sense of mischief shows itself. It is a fast- moving week and one in which you see where contentmen­t can be found. The question is, will you ‘ go for it’? Emotions in motion give you a real buzz. This enthusiasm is both contagious and inspiratio­nal. Asking for what you want? Good luck.

Aquarius

January 21 - February 19

Sparkling communicat­ions and rambling romantic liaisons are both yours this week. With Mercury the messenger on your side, anything seems possible. It certainly is a lovely time for building on relationsh­ips and finding new friends. Put yourself in situations where you will meet like- minded folk and the rest will come naturally.

Gemini

May 22 – June 23

Love and finances now both have the chance to move in the right direction. Direction is the word, though, as you take control of both areas. With Mercury on your side, communicat­ions are golden and can bring high yields. A long- distance friendship may mean travel and a new outlook on life. Staying open- minded is essential to gain the most from this period.

Scorpio

October 24 – November 22

The idea of travel and talking to new people is what can inspire you this week. Going away or planning such for the future gives a great deal of pleasure. Those who have a creative plan now have the chance to get it out and active. Actions really do speak louder than words at the moment, so make the most of it.

Pisces

February 20 – March 20

Plotting and planning go hand in hand with some excitement this week. Perhaps it is a holiday or a business venture. Whatever it is, you are more likely to succeed if you throw yourself into it. Passions are high but they may be unusual and new to you. It is a time of emotional exploratio­n and hidden delights. An open mind is an open opportunit­y.

Cancer

June 22 – July 23

Gather your hopes and dreams together, Cancer. Last week’s New Moon is still influencin­g the future. What a future that can be! To succeed, though, you need to put some passion into all of your endeavours. Push for what you want but do it with charm and vigour. Your message will come across loud and clear. Keep it simple and strong to succeed.
