YOUR HOROSCOPE
Capricorn 22 Dec – 19 Jan
It’s fun being grown up during this unpretentious period, as nobody adults quite like you right now. Swapping angsty, childish reactions for measured responses, you’re capable of turning the tide in most situations – and usually to your advantage. A happy you translates into better vibes all round, so expect cooperation… or at least, grudging respect. You’ve earned it.
Aquarius 20 Jan – 18 Feb
All things to all people – why not? Social networking is your special skill, introvert or not, so forging those valuable ties is key. Try opening up or listening superbly, or being willing to back-pedal on issues close to your heart; the promise is stronger relationships in every sphere – as long as you’re democratic and fair. Spin-doctoring isn’t your style, anyway.
Pisces 19 Feb – 20 Mar
Be boldly confident in creating a few miracles – or at least a bit of money – with each new, brave step forward. Enough of the self-flagellation stuff already; life is too short. Dealing with inner demons is the only pothole that’s separating you from success in a longed-for arena. And if you don’t know what that arena is, best get thinking. Destiny awaits.
Aries 21 Mar – 19 Apr
You’re on fire, hitting the ground running – people need you, want to share your space. And places unseen are bucket list must-haves. This raw, delicious period is an organic growth spurt of epic proportions; make hay while it lasts and, honestly, lose the guilt. Responsibility isn’t blanked out – it’s just democratically sidelined on occasion. Your needs have feelings too!
Taurus 20 Apr – 20 May
Changing horizons aren’t worth throwing a strop about, so reassure your peeps by reminding them that transformation is a necessary step towards your being nicer this year. A lot is happening internally, and while others can’t see it (yet), you can. Be confident about decisions taken, since action begets rewards, eventually.
You know it – and that’s all that counts.
Gemini 21 May – 20 Jun
A shift in attitude towards money and relationships is a slow-cooker exercise in determining what’s best, long term. Your logic, sharp as a needle, plays boss during this back-to-basics phase: who do you want to be a year from now? And where? And with whom? Tough questions, when you’d rather drift into 2019, but vital for New Year vigour and a sense of passionate purpose.
Cancer 21 Jun – 22 Jul
If it ain’t broke, go ahead and fix it anyway. Something isn’t sitting comfortably, and you have the guts to deal with it. Procrastinating won’t magically cure what ails, so why wait? Make a firm, focused list to stop the rot, be it within or without. Thankfully, your goal this year is increased stability, so the motivation is there. It’s a rocky road to the top, but you’ve got this.
Leo 23 Jul – 22 Aug
Feeling unsettled is part of the manic mix at the moment, so don’t stress – stuff is boiling behind your back, but with the best intentions. Career-wise, future plans are slightly murky and money worries might surface as a result, but you’re okay. In fact, happily, you’re styling – you just don’t know it yet. Have doses of faith at the ready when courage fails. All is well.
Virgo 23 Aug – 22 Sept
Being all things to all people is just how it is. It won’t last forever (nothing does), but understandably, you may feel piqued and put upon – try not to. You’re loved, and that’s enough for now. Being dog-tired and hamstrung by myriad multitasking chores sends you scuttling for solo time – and yes, take it when you can. Heaven knows you deserve it.
Libra 23 Sept – 22 Oct
So much gaga over the New Year, but you’re not feeling it – not in your bones. New beginnings, fresh starts and so forth aren’t zinging you up as they usually would. And it’s no wonder. The tortoise pace of your energy levels picks up later rather than sooner – as if you’re being forced to wait a while for something fab. Intriguing, no?
Scorpio 23 Oct – 21 Nov
There’s that Coldplay song about ruling the world. It’s yours, and you wear it well. Good planetary vibes brush your cheeks, causing sparkles of inspiration and a more positive mojo than you’ve seen in years? Oh, you pretend prettily – but this is the real deal; a sense of wellbeing that comes from nowhere, with no reason. Don’t analyse. Relish.
Sagittarius 22 Nov – 21 Dec
Your ‘can’t do’ left the building ages ago and the ‘can do’ is clearly here to stay: so why wait? Most cynics deplore the idea of New Year’s resolutions – and with good reason, given how fat, famished or financially finished most of us are come December. But you? It’s different for you, Sag. We’re mildly jealous: what you dream today, you’ll likely become. ✤
