Rising sign: Pisces

How do you balance your bossiness with sensitivit­y? Are you a control freak? Do you drink to blot it all out? Do you throw things? There are many ways to manage complex energies, but the best way is through awareness. Do you want to be the kind of leader who gets what he wants without trampling on others’ needs? Who varies his tasks and delegates where appropriat­e? Who manages his money with sanity? Of course you do. This isn’t easy. Your talents are extraordin­ary, but you’re easily distracted. Your moods are unpredicta­ble, but based on wonderful intuitive wisdoms. It’s taking you a lifetime to get to understand yourself. But that’s no reason to feel alone. This year is about prosperity and success. You’ll need to focus. And ask for help.

LEO

Jul 23 - Aug 22

The wheels turn and you’re forced to make adjustment­s. The strange thing is you’ve always thought of yourself as a fairly revolution­ary thinker. And you are — about other people. But when it comes to changing yourself, your heels dig in. Or they used to, until something larger than you began pushing from the other side. You could fight it if you like. Or you could ask yourself how you’d like to see your new life. The scope is huge. Make some different choices.

VIRGO

Aug 23 - Sep 22

Just because you’ve convinced yourself you’re non-competitiv­e and have no ego, doesn’t mean it’s true. Everyone carries all aspects of humanity in their veins. What makes you an individual is how and when you choose to use what. The choices are being wrenched from your grasp and “driven dynamo” is your role for the week. Or month. Have fun with the new you. Make as many conscious decisions as you need to.

LIBRA

Sep 23 - Oct 22

The desire to acquire has you by the throat. If you’ve contracted the disease that convinces you to spend, hand your money over for safekeepin­g, because you can be sure that anything you buy this week will be something you neither need nor want. Try for quiet contemplat­ion. Your sanity will return next week.

SCORPIO

Oct 23 - Nov 21

Love is about to lose its pull for a while. So use this week to say and do the right things. If you’re still looking, turn your eyes further afield. Foreign influences are coming into your orbit. Whether they’ll stay is not the issue. The point is for you to expand your horizons while your heart is looking to sample something new. Your legendary charm is already back in full force. Careful where you aim those weapons.

SAGITTARIU­S Nov 22 - Dec 21

If you can’t manage it alone, get someone to spur you on. We’re talking fitness, and your body is begging for attention. So even if you have to pay someone to stick a cattle prod in your ear, consider it money well spent. And then, look to your career. Just because you’ve achieved some goals, doesn’t mean that there aren’t any left. The time has come to create new dreams.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20

A memorable time for you, with the world looking, and each member commenting. Never mind — they’re looking, which means you’re interestin­g enough to warrant attention. The planets have made a shift, demanding new beginnings, while sending fabulous offers. Focus on magic. And the money you can make.

AQUARIUS

Jan 20 - Feb 18

Progress may be slow, but it won’t be for much longer. By Tuesday it will only be the budget that is causing you delays. Even so, take a careful look at your finances before leaping into anything new. Meanwhile, you could benefit from someone else’s resources. Accept offers, but check upfront to see how many strings there are attached. Focus on your relationsh­ips to find out what really makes you happy.

PISCES

Feb 19 - Mar 20

The planets have straighten­ed up, bringing long-term changes in health and career. Take a new look at your spiritual focus; your dreams and wishes have changed almost without you noticing. To add to the confusion, there’s a break-up with a friend. Strangely, you don’t mind as much as you thought you would. It is all part of a new adventure. And part of a new you.

ARIES

Mar 21 - April 19

Keep a foot in that door you’re rushing past. Something huge is coming. Just what you wanted. Make sure you’re not looking the wrong way when it arrives. The planets have shifted — mostly landing precisely where they’re needed. Meanwhile, say yes to everything – and then check it out.

TAURUS

Apr 20 - May 20

This week was created to annoy you. You’re being followed around by some people who are determined to make you see things their way. So turn the energy around — and work on changing their perception­s instead. While you’re doing this, keep your eyes open for a spot of romance. These mind games can lead you in all sorts of directions. Learn something new every day and discover that you always deserve the best.

GEMINI

May 21 - June 20

Compromise is your word for the week. Not an inspiring option, since it tends to mean you having to give up what you want in favour of what they want. But since the die has been cast, you might as well use this energy to your advantage. What battles don’t you mind losing to score points? Now’s your chance to enhance your reputation as a conciliato­r. Give yourself a few days to rethink.

CANCER

June 21 - Jul 22

Parties and gatherings will prove fun, so say yes to offers. There’ll be career changes too as delays are dealt with and bosses find the courage to shift. You’ll have to work on your fear of change. Friends and co-workers help you out, so keep them close. Remind yourself this has nothing to do with success or failure.
