Your Stars

TAURUS

Apr 20 - May 20

This is your month — with so much happening you can barely keep up. Best option would be to set all your plans in motion this week. That way you’ll be ready to seize the reins just as the seats become vacant. And it’s true, your workload has increased more than anticipated. But that’s just because the big picture is too big to see. Stick with the details until you’re sure. And stay healthy.

GEMINI

May 21 - June 20

It's not that you don't have a fully functional mind. It's just that you're terrified of wearing it out. Best plan, you've decided, is to get someone else to make all the decisions — leaving you to complain vigorously about any resulting drama. Enough of that. You've got the power to forge a path. Now all you need is the courage. And luckily, there are buckets of that on offer all week. In short, you’re feeling good. Seize the day.

CANCER

June 21 - Jul 22

Anything that steals your energy must go. Which includes bad habits, abusive friends and boring jobs. Make a list, and start throwing out what you no longer need. Be ruthless. Negative energy damages your health. Your sensitive little heart, meanwhile, is in a happier place than it’s been in ages. Let yourself feel something real. Let vulnerability in. You might even like it.

LEO

Jul 23 - Aug 22

Well, aren’t you adorable? And right now you don’t even have to try. Love is hunting you down. And you’re running for your life. Better check your motives. Instead, try focusing on the finances. This is a great month for investments, as a fascinating opportunity comes rushing in on Wednesday. Clarify the details (in writing) and you’ll be dancing all the way to the bank.

VIRGO

Aug 23 - Sep 22

Your need to share is taking on absurd proportions. Has it occurred to you that your determination to rescue everyone else is largely about your fear of rescuing yourself? In which case, the good news is that tomorrow brings added courage to your relationships. Especially the one with yourself. By next month, you’ll be adding extra money and occasional recognition to your repertoire of delights.

LIBRA

Sep 23 - Oct 22

Letting go of something you’re used to always brings sadness. Relief too. And confusion. Let it all wash over you as you plan your next move. By now, you’ll have a better idea which way your wind is blowing — and you can decide whether to blow with it. After

Saturday, pack. It doesn’t really matter what you change into, as long as you’re willing to change.

SCORPIO

Oct 23 - Nov 21

Stress and good health seldom go together, so dump the drama — soon if you’re hoping to stay in shape. Your body has suddenly lost its sense of humour. At work, meanwhile, something you thought was unfair is finally sorting itself out. So if you have contracts to sign, do it now. With your reputation and status improving daily, the opportunities are rolling in.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 22 - Dec 21

There’s power and expansion in that breast — bringing courage and energy enough to send you bungee jumping off the Eiffel Tower. Bear in mind, though, that you could use this energy for more useful ventures. There’s just one proviso. Left to themselves, the planets will expand your thighs with all the vigour of a hippo in search of more grass. So quick, before the energies take charge, make a list of plans. And tackle them.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20

Wondering whether you've lost your marbles? Have you forgotten why you're reading this page — or where you've put your specs — or maybe even how old you are? Fear not. You've shunted temporarily into right-brain mode — and it's scaring the bejesus out of you. Try exploring your creative side. Trust your instincts. You might as well. You can't trust your brain. For now.

AQUARIUS

Jan 20 - Feb 18

The planets are messing with you. The trick here is to minimise the definite plans, and maximise the work on yourself. Believe it or not, this level of drama can be fun. That is, assuming you manage to hang on to your health through the bumps. Try yoga for that. Or a few deep and lasting breaths. You’re an air sign, don’t forget. You need air. And, of course, love. Which is on its way.

PISCES

Feb 19 - Mar 20

What’s this? The romantic haze is fading, leaving you with a new appreciation of your own company. No more are you willing to sacrifice your dreams just so you can have someone in your life. From now on, there are new rules. Anyone who wants you had better make some contributions. Besides, your career is throwing new options at you every day. Enjoy the feeling of running your own life for once. Take your time.

ARIES

Mar 21 - April 19

What does it mean to become a better person? All this effort is about impressing someone else rather than transforming yourself. And sure, go ahead — squeeze yourself into someone else’s fantasy if you must. But don’t expect the resulting miracle to last any longer than a week. After which it’s back to fixing finances, expanding your career, and following those fabulous instincts.
