Your Stars

TAURUS (Apr 20 – May 20) Tuesday’s eclipse is in your sign, redefining your personality, self image and list of dreams. Obviously, none of these things happen overnight — but the process is about to begin. Think about the changes you’d like to see, and you’ll help direct the process. Expect the love life to take a brief dive, as your own needs begin to wander. There’ll be unexpected expenses, compensated for by a delicious surprise. GEMINI (May 21 – June 20) If you’re ready for some new love in your life, Tuesday is your day — or night. In fact, take Tuesday off to make yourself look and feel gorgeous. Just make sure you know what you want and that your signals are clear, and you’re in for a wonderful experience. Most importantly, understand that you’ll probably be attracted to people you wouldn’t normally notice. At work, meanwhile, show off. CANCER (June 21 – Jul 22) This is a time when all those fabulous juggling skills of yours will come in handy — verbal, physical and social — to cope with the twists and turns of the next few days. Even so, prepare to be caught off guard. Make inquiries about a business trip that could send you off in a completely new direction. Tuesday’s solar eclipse doesn’t say precisely what the changes will be — just that there will be changes. LEO (Jul 23 – Aug 22) Those artistic leanings, and fervent desires to share your passions are pushing you to take exciting risks. Despite the conservatism of those around you, your enthusiasm could pull them all out of their ruts. Don’t you dare let anyone intimidate you into chickening out. And don’t fret about your love life. For now, let the planets decide. Tuesday’s eclipse has plans of its own. No point fighting them. Get some rest. VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sep 22) There’s an eclipse on Tuesday, begging you to open that frozen heart of yours to a brand new love — or an old love, if you’re currently occupied in that department. And remember this: whether you want to or not, you are sending out signals to anyone who comes near you. Try to make sure they’re the right ones. Vulnerability is not a crime, you know. In fact, it’s an essential ingredient for true love. LIBRA (Sep 23 – Oct 22) Someone’s trying to undermine your position at work. Pay no attention. In fact, send the interloper some flowers. No one can hurt you unless you let them. Even so, ask yourself how you’re contributing to this drama (maybe you were just bored and looking for some excitement), and make amends. Misunderstandings are simple things to fix. Use your advantages to help someone who’s battling. SCORPIO (Oct 23 – Nov 21) The solar eclipse on Tuesday is a perfect time to re-assess your love life. Which doesn’t mean a whole production with caterers and a sixpiece band. What you need here is a quiet moment with your lover, and some honest conversation. Sure, there are times when it’s essential to be tough and unruffled — but this isn’t one of them. Just be yourself. Tell the truth. Dig deep. Explore the word “trust” in all its forms. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21) Madly exciting developments at work are stimulating that wildly optimistic streak of yours. Which is just what you need to get that ball rolling past the few minor obstacles determined to trip you up. And if you need to change your career slightly, so be it. Even so, watch your health very closely. Too much stress can steal your energy, leaving you too exhausted for the job at hand. Take Tuesday off if you can. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19) The family is hassling you, making demands you’re not that keen to meet. Don’t make this an issue. Your family is important, no matter how much they may annoy you. Diarise some time and then use what’s left to schedule meetings and presentations. You’re on a roll, and you’re destined for big things this year. Don’t let pettiness get in the way. Besides, Tuesday’s eclipse demands more laughs, more fun. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18) Good news. The career path is smoothing out — allowing for some relaxation and even a spot of time off. Spend it with people you love, and tell them how you feel. The money is about to come rolling back in — slowly at first, but it’s coming. By now you have hopefully learned that your personal value is not dependent on your bank balance. But maybe not. Work on that, or it will trip you up. PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20) The odd financial glitch could reflect on your relationship if you let it. So hear this: money has nothing to do with love. If you’re having money problems, sort them out independently of your feelings. If you feel your partner is not supporting you, there’ll be some blaming sessions. How about using Tuesday’s eclipse to give exactly what you need? That way, it’s just a matter of time before you get it back. Works every time. ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 19) Old debts could stop you in your tracks. Don’t let them. Just use that wonderfully determined mind to work out a game plan, and stick to it. Pay off what you can, avoid new debts and keep working. You know the drill. And anyway, this is not a longterm nightmare. Tuesday’s eclipse will provide a host of ideas for changing your life. Besides, there are queues of people dying to help. Let them.
