Rising sign: Aries
Your greatest difficulty is managing your temper. You have the courage of a lion, and a wonderfully creative imagination. But your frustration with anyone who doesn’t see things your way gets you in to trouble more often than you’d like. You want to be in charge, but you have no idea how to manage people. And since you’re in a wonderfully abundant cycle, you’ll need some gentler people to help you out. But to find the success you’re hoping for, you’ll have to step back a little. Humility, as in learning to apologise and even admit you might have been wrong, is your lesson. Your love life has had severe problems but, if you behave, it will begin to make sense. You’ve had to cope with losing some important people in your life, but your strength has developed as a result. For now, you need to improve your skills – particularly your people skills.
AQUARIUS Jan 20 - Feb 18
On the verge of a tantrum? Excellent. If you can’t express your deepest feelings in the usual way, any other way will do. You’re at your vulnerable best, wondering what to do with the rest of your year and your life. Pull back a little and try for one day at a time. If something happens that you can’t handle, just accept it – and wait for wisdom to rise from the depths.
PISCES Feb 19 - Mar 20
Convinced that any opportunity not grabbed is an opportunity missed? You may be right – and not for the reason you think. The point is, the moment you’re under pressure you revert to old habits, hiding out in past regrets. Then everything gets lost. So, yes, charge ahead, explore everything, don’t stop till you fall over. Your carefully constructed reality is up for a revamp.
ARIES Mar 21 - April 19
Have you finally been stripped down to the bare essentials? Are you wondering whether you have the strength to keep going? That’s perfect. Now you’re free – to rethink and redefine. You’ll start with your career – because that’s where you’re most comfortable. Just keep a close check on your motives. If you’re going for power, you’ll end up on the wrong street. Strive for mastery – and you’ll get rich at the same time.
TAURUS Apr 20 - May 20
Convinced you can’t go through all this drama for another year? This is the perfect time to let go of everything that no longer serves you. If you’re back in panic mode, take a break and rethink. Big decisions must always be made from a peaceful place. Whenever the emotional tsunami hits, stop what you’re doing and slowly put one foot in front of the other. Serenity will return.
GEMINI May 21 - June 20
Progress for its own sake loses meaning if you’ve forgotten why you were making the journey in the first place. If the routine is starting to close in on you, slam on the brakes and think again. How about a romance to inspire you to greater things? All you need to inspire true love is a dash more tolerance. Other people are supposed to be different to you, or have you forgotten that?
CANCER June 21 - Jul 22
Expect some good news before the week is out. And while you wait, try counting the little miracles that happen every day: all designed to put you in the mood to handle the odd glitch at home. The rule here is, don’t waste time fretting about who is “right”. The trick is to figure out what's best for everyone, including you. No martyrs allowed. Meanwhile, if you’re determined to change your life, take it slowly.
LEO Jul 23 - Aug 22
You've convinced yourself that your lover’s needs are exactly the same as yours. In which case, it stands to reason you’d have the same complaints too. Stop.
Instead of making assumptions, ask. And when you’ve done that, try empathy. You can do that. Very well, actually. With enormous charm. That aside, the career’s moving along steadily. Just keep going.
VIRGO Aug 23 - Sep 22
The relationship that’s turned into a battle of the egos needs a different kind of attention. Use your week to maximise your charms and tilt the scales in your favour. There’ll be money coming too, so beware of a burning desire to overspend. And for now, it’s a definite NO to all offers of partnership or financial sharing. Your own wisdom is all you’ll need to maximise new offers.
LIBRA Sep 23 - Oct 22
The planets are looking to reward you for your efforts. So the question is, have you made any? Or have you been languishing about, waiting for your ship to sail in? And while you’re thinking about that, bear in mind that the people judging you are taking this stuff very seriously. So make sure you’re on your best behaviour at all times because you never know who’s looking. And smile a lot. There’ll be reason to.
SCORPIO Oct 23 - Nov 21
You’re at your most persuasive now, able to sell walnuts to squirrels, and even demonstrate the most effective way to eat them. This is an important time for you. Because, as you know, when your leadership abilities are shining through, you have to decide who to lead. And where. Which means you’ll have to pick a destination for your talents this year. Enough dawdling.
SAGITTARIUS Nov 22 - Dec 21
Your good luck fairy has come for a visit and is intent on staying. Which is why your financial intuition has taken a leap into the future and your wallet is starting to bulge. And, in case you’d forgotten, the power gods are still with you, bringing all the courage you need to test your many skills. Enjoy the process of slow transformation. Understand that it takes as long as it takes
CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20
Confused about your feelings? Spend some time away from everyone so you can think about what you want. This is about ancient emotional baggage resurfacing, and it’s not just your stuff either. The people in your life have issues of their own and they’re dumping them on you. Don’t expect miracles just yet. Work’s going well, with joint ventures adjusting nicely. Concentrate on what you can handle.
