Sun sign: Taurus Moon sign: Sagittarius Rising sign: Cancer
You’ve been having a hard time with your relationships, but not for much longer. Even so, you’ll be making important decisions about who you want to spend your time with. Not that you have much space in your diary for mindless fun. Your career is taking most of your energy as you plan for the family’s needs. You’re asking yourself why you always seem to be the one who’s working hard. Don’t waste your energy. Accept that responsibility is part of your destiny, and that you have found your own ways to add a dose of adventure to the mix. New career options will soon be available, and you’ll be able to make different choices. If the kids are giving you a hard time, give them something to do. Make them feel useful. Meanwhile, give yourself a day off. You’ve earned it.
LEO
Jul 23 - Aug 22
The career takes a surprising turn as the planets shift, bringing unexpected support and interesting opportunities. No languishing on the couch, even though your health and energy levels could be better. Focus on reducing stress. If you’re already committed, expect romance and the occasional gift. Be grateful for everything.
VIRGO
Aug 23 - Sep 22
Your interests have moved towards the spiritual, and your career is suffering as a result. So listen: whoever told you that prosperity and spirituality don’t go together is living in the wrong century. There are new rules now. Abundance is our birthright. Success is part of our life path. Work on that, but distract yourself with a love life that is making your palms sweat. Interesting.
LIBRA
Sep 23 - Oct 22
Sleep on your problems and wake up with inspirational ideas that astonish you. The planets are rushing in and out of every area of your life, bringing excitement and adventure to everything you do. This may unnerve you a little, but when did adventure come with guarantees? Now’s the moment to trust yourself and your destiny. It’s on its way. Tomorrow’s full moon starts the ball rolling.
SCORPIO
Oct 23 - Nov 21
If your lovers are being vile, develop patience. If the world is throwing heavy lessons at you, look at them, learn a little, and step over the pile. You were born to be the caretaker of secrets, danger and magic. As the gurus said, it’s just as easy to learn in an atmosphere of love and beauty as in pain and anguish. But anguish doesn’t suit you. Demand the best. You’ll get it. That’s the lesson.
SAGITTARIUS Nov 22 - Dec 21
The planets are pushing all your buttons. Bosses are picky and demanding. Your health is strange and hard to fix. The family wants more of your time. Pay no attention, except to your health which could use a little nurturing. You’re simply being asked to develop that (non-existent) disciplined, organised side. It’s there somewhere. Let it out.
CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20
That fabulously responsible nature has created a delicious pattern: work when you must; play when you can. For once, there’s real balance in your life as you find the answers to questions you’ve been asking for years. What’s more, friends, family, even lovers, are supporting you in every way. They’re offering money if you need it. You probably won’t though. You’re managing perfectly well on your own.
AQUARIUS
Jan 20 - Feb 18
Love is sailing along, provided the conversation is interesting. Intimacy is improving, but needs work. You’re finding different ways to fit in with your community; joining groups, pioneering ideas and researching projects that stimulate a hungry soul. The career? You’ve lost interest in goals and success, but they’ll be back. Explore all the other sides of your life that got left behind.
PISCES
Feb 19 - Mar 20
Flashes of genius and inspiration remind you that your inner self is waking up and demanding a hearing. You’ve always known you had special gifts, now you’re being shown how to use them. This doesn’t excuse you from your daily chores. Routine and discipline are hard for you; all the more reason to get them right. Love is on the way.
ARIES
Mar 21 - April 19
The career has developed a life of its own, insisting on new adventures and fascinating changes. Of course, the fact that you’re terrified of change might stick a spoke in an occasional wheel — but only if you let it. Money is on its way too; arriving through strange channels in unexpected ways. Don’t worry about getting the team on your side. If they think you’re nuts, so much the better. It means you’re on the right track.
TAURUS
Apr 20 - May 20
Enough with the insatiable need to impress everyone in sight. As of now, you’re impressing yourself — with your desirability, your independence and a new competitive edge. Sure, your creative genius may have slipped a little temporarily. But your instincts are fantastic and your determination is awe-inspiring. In short, the bull is charging. And no number of red flags are going to stop him.
GEMINI
May 21 - June 20
The eternal Gemini child is being shoved into the daunting realm of responsibility. You’re being asked to make adult decisions about home, family, career. Fight it, and you’ll have a horrible week. Embrace the power you’re being given and you’ll go forward into a new and fabulous independence. An interesting business deal provides unexpected distractions.
CANCER
June 21 - Jul 22
It’s action time as tomorrow’s full moon rushes forth, dragging you in its wake. This is when those carefully hidden leadership skills get to shine. And the rewards are great. Progress is swift as wishes are fulfilled. Start the week by making a list of desires. The universe needs clarity, or it will simply send you a little of everything. The career’s going especially well, and the love life will improve with tolerance and patience.
