CANCER (June 21 – Jul 22)

There’s a new moon in your sign tomorrow, gently ushering in the changes you’ve longed for. One snag: the planet of communication is causing delays and adding confusion. Be patient. Something delicious is on its way, bringing travel, creativity and an opportunity to shine. Put your plans in motion. Expect the best. •SMS HS Can to 31899 to register

LEO (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

A mate’s or lover’s generosity makes life more bearable this week. Buy something fabulous, and expensive. Deprived of these delights, Leo tends to be rebellious and buy everything in sight. Romance is in the air and in the bedroom. You need to be at your best to enjoy this. Tact is also needed. Your opinions are not always valued. •SMS HS Leo to 31899 to register

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Time to revisit your childhood. You’re probably already having vivid dreams and emotional memories. You might be travelling back to your childhood home. But you’re strong now and able to cope. Use those marvellous instincts. You’re in the mood to get to the bottom of those ancient mysteries you’ve always wondered about. And then you can move on. At last. •SMS HS Vir to 31899 to register

LIBRA (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

So much is happening, you’d be crazy to hope your life will be sorted out in one go. This means tantrums and blaming will become part of your day. Alternatively, you might take time off to indulge. Either way, be nice to lovers. It’s not their fault. In fact, this time you really can blame it on the planets, until the 20th. •SMS HS Lib to 31899 to register

SCORPIO (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The voomah is back and you’re ready to roll. Just as well because you’re starting a cycle that promises big changes. Flaws in your situation will suddenly become glaring, and you’ll be forced to make difficult decisions. Concentrate on your needs first. When the dust clears, you’ll know what to do. There are added confusions until the 20th. •SMS HS Sco to 31899 to register

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

If the family is driving you nuts, remind yourself how lucky you are to have one. As appealing as aloneness may sound, the truth is that your family gives you your centre and reminds you who you are. Make a regular space for them, and then get back to your life. If you’re travelling, double check your plans. There are glitches in the cosmos. •SMS HS Sag to 31899 to register

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your high standards might be met this week as you encounter someone as demanding as you. No need to spin out over your inadequacies. The lesson is about acceptance: of yourself and others. You may find a way to use your charms and graces to earn some cash. Tomorrow’s new moon invites exciting encounters. Be available. •SMS HS Cap to 31899 to register

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The hierarchies have changed and new politics must be learnt. Things you’re unhappy about can be changed, as long as you choose your friends with care. The last thing you need is for your motives to be misunderstood. What are your motives? If you want to be in charge, let them know. If you need time to think, say so. No rush. •SMS HS Aqu to 31899 to register

PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Someone’s dumping on you and, for once, you’re not buying into the game. Good for you. Take your time with this. Your instincts are fantastic, but your intellect has taken a short break. Either learn to trust yourself or wait until you’re feeling stronger. Meanwhile, don’t take your personal life out on the guys at work. Your struggles are your own. Time to take charge. •SMS HS Pis to 31899 to register

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’ve got two personalities this week. One is sensitive, quiet and lost in a world of passion and dreams. Then there’s the one with secrets he knows he can use to his advantage; the one with leadership skills and things to say. Don’t panic. Both just want the world to be a happier place. Watch the ego and be alert. •SMS HS Ari to 31899 to register

TAURUS (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your money planet is on strike until the 20th. Remember that before you confirm the world cruise. Then, while you’re waiting for your ship to come in, have some thoughts about your love life. The planets are rocking your relationships, digging away at the layers you’ve so carefully covered up. Concentrate on what feels right. •SMS HS Tau to 31899 to register

GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)

If you’re looking for a fight, your timing is perfect. In fact, why not make a meal of it. Put on something trashy, prepare some cutting remarks and, heck, you could even video the whole thing. Of course, if you’re hoping to still have friends afterwards, you might want to warn them first. Or you could do something creative with your inner genius. It’s up to you. •SMS HS Gem to 31899 to register
