Moon sign: Aries Rising sign: Pisces

It’s been a tough year. Not only are you going through one of the most significan­t personal cycles, but it’s happening when the world is changing just as dramatical­ly as you are. First, get yourself a massage or go to a yoga class. You need some stress management. Then start thinking about what you really want to do with your life. Right now you’re feeling alone and powerless. But there’s a wonderfull­y positive aspect to all these changes. You feel you have nothing to lose – which means you have everything to gain. New jobs are on offer. New adventures are around the corner. A move or even emigration is possible if you’re keen. This is your time. It’s for you. True love comes next year. Now take better care of yourself. Keep a lid on your addictive side. You’ll be fine.

TAURUS

Apr 20 - May 20

Your needs are changing. Feelings too. The trouble is you’ve convinced yourself the fantasies are real and that your personal destiny is out of your hands. Rubbish. The planets are pushing you to see the truth. Which means it’s time to reassess your needs, and ask whether they’re being met. Honest communicat­ion wouldn’t hurt.

GEMINI

May 21 - June 20

What a wonderfull­y creative one you are. So much so, in fact, that all personal melodramas have been relegated to the back burner while you concentrat­e on becoming a creative genius. Good for you. Take note of how this feels. And next time you’re inclined to sulk in your corner, remind yourself of all possible alternativ­es first. And work on some patience. And trust.

CANCER

June 21 - Jul 22

Careful. You’re in the mood to lash out at anyone you feel is demanding too much. Try for some deep breathing before taking on the entire planet.

Then find some healthier outlets for that competitiv­e drive. Creative inspiratio­n is always the best place to start. Meanwhile “damage control” are your new watchwords. Followed by clear, honest confrontat­ion. Not quite the same thing as abuse — as you very well know.

LEO

Jul 23 - Aug 22

The universe is finally acknowledg­ing your tireless efforts and paying you back. The pace of developmen­t, recognitio­n and achievemen­t is speedy enough to knock you sideways. Take vitamins and have some fun. Try not to interfere. Your job is to reap the rewards. But not before you’ve made plans for the next phase. This is just the beginning.

VIRGO

Aug 23 - Sep 22

You’re better at helping everyone else than yourself. This week, your gifts are making money for them. Not a bad thing if you remember a universal law: whatever you give out is what you get back. So your fortunes will be taken care of eventually. Your financial instincts have moved into an impulsive phase. Don’t make any big decisions till May.

LIBRA

Sep 23 - Oct 22

Love is what you think you want, but it’s the deeper, more spiritual stuff that’s commanding your attention. Try calming down a moment. You’re getting lost in Romeo and Juliet fantasy again. Look what happened to them. Though you may seriously believe you’re from another planet, you’re on this one now. And here, love is on a trip of its own. You must look out for job opportunit­ies. They’re out there. And they’re looking for you.

SCORPIO

Oct 23 - Nov 21

Mad changes, tossed at you from out of the blue, are about to rock your safe little house. Though, hilariousl­y, it’s probably you who instigates the shifts in the first place. Still, prepare to shock yourself with your unexpected courage. Then make way for a wobble following such colossal decisions. This is good stuff. One day you’ll look back and laugh.

SAGITTARIU­S Nov 22 - Dec 21

The planets are giving you a break — urging you to preserve your energy for the dramas ahead. So if you have the chance to be alone, grab it. A new cycle is about to begin, digging up parts of yourself you’d forgotten were there. Don’t fret about missing out. What you cram into a normal day would take most people a year. Besides, you have a bucket list to prepare. It’s going to be a long one.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20

Actually, it’s not the work you mind. It’s the complete lack of appreciati­on that goes with it. Remember, you’re at your happiest when slaving away over some major injustice. But what you forget is that you’re a human being too — and in need of tending. There is no point in waiting for someone else to take care of you. If you present yourself as invincible, they’ll believe you. This is the week that you must ask for what you want.

AQUARIUS

Jan 20 - Feb 18

So what are you really so upset about? Generally, people get unhappy in relationsh­ips when they lack the courage to stand their ground and feel manipulate­d. At which point they charge into a blaming session and dump the problem in someone else’s lap. You could do that. Or you could be a grown-up. This is the week to own your magic.

PISCES

Feb 19 - Mar 20

Investment­s have never been your thing. But from Wednesday, you’ll have help. Anyway, what else are you going to do with all that money that’s wafting in out of the blue? Spend it? Nah. Just because you’re terrified of success doesn’t mean you can’t learn to like it. So organise your budget, get an adviser, and inhale abundance. You can give it all away later — if you still want to.

ARIES

Mar 21 - April 19

You’re covering a lot of ground — not to mention bedroom space. Are you sure you want to do this? Hearts are being broken, you know — and it’s a matter of time before one of them is yours. No matter. Your focus will soon shift to your work, and you’ll simply run out of leisure time. Meanwhile, watch the temper. There really is no need to rush. As it is, you’re way ahead of the pack. All that you are short of is a dash of empathy.
