PISCES

Feb 19 - Mar 20

This is a great week with remarkable changes on the way. Be on the lookout for any hints of opportunit­y or challenge that were specially meant for you. Be sure to examine — and maybe act on — even the subtlest of messages. And remember, although the planets almost never take the obvious route, an interestin­g change of fortune (yes, money) is almost certainly on the cards. Keep telling yourself this is just the beginning.

ARIES

Mar 21 - April 19

Here’s the key to maximising what promises to be a monumental career week: think and act fast; be alert to all options (they won’t be back), and reserve judgment until you have all the facts. You’re probably emerging from a phase of thinking you’ve made all the wrong choices. Don’t do that. Your path is becoming clearer by the second. And your bank balance is on the increase. Use the money well.

TAURUS

Apr 20 - May 21

Agreements and plans are out of the window. The emphasis now is on walking away from guilt, and finding your true calling. Not easy, but more exciting than you dared imagine. The trick here is to keep going — even if you have no idea where you’re headed. And if the destinatio­n takes longer to reach than you’d hoped, concentrat­e on enjoying the ride. It’s time to start trusting your own decisions.

GEMINI

May 22 - Jun 20

Madly exciting developmen­ts at work are stimulatin­g that wildly optimistic streak. Which is just what you need to get the ball rolling past the minor obstacles determined to trip you up. Even so, watch your health closely. Too much stress can steal your energy, leaving you too exhausted for the job at hand. So eat your greens and get some sleep. Then get yourself out there and have some fun. It’s been too long.

CANCER

June 21 - Jul 22

Your health is bothering you somewhat. Nothing drastic; just a reminder to chuck out old habits that are holding you back. Relationsh­ips, meanwhile, are high priority now. So if you’ve been hesitating, don’t. Just make a decision — and live with it. And in your spare three moments, do your best to locate a spiritual path. Or teacher. Your soul is waiting to be heard. The career is fine for now. Leave it where it is.

LEO

Jul 23 - Aug 22

Commitment is not a word you’re fond of. Yet you find yourself drawn to longer-term goals and bigger plans. Even so, try to stay practical. Think about how assets can be shared and individual needs met. And don’t fret if the occasional yelling session throws you off course. Making up afterwards is half the fun. Meanwhile, think about keeping a journal of the more exciting moments. There could be a book in you.

VIRGO

Aug 23 - Sep 22

The relationsh­ip melodramas are certainly not over, but they’ve definitely improved. You, meanwhile, in refusing to ask for help (as usual), have become a complete basket case with no idea where to go from here. Look out for help after Friday. While you wait, get a massage, have a laugh, and understand that this is just one of a million life cycles. It will pass. And the rest of the month will be exciting. There’s money on the way — if you’re keen.

LIBRA

Sep 23 - Oct 22

As of today — and for the entire month — you are desirable, healthy and smack in the path of money, abundance and love. All you need to do is show up. Which does not mean sitting on your couch waiting for the universe to knock. It means making a note of your dreams and then acting as though they’ve already happened. It’s a lucky time for you. Let it in. You deserve the best.

SCORPIO

Oct 23 - Nov 21

This is the week to trust your instincts. So if you’re thinking career change or large-scale investment­s, demand all the details and tune in. If anything feels vaguely dodgy, walk away. Meanwhile, that problem at work should resolve itself now. All that’s left is for you to forgive and let it go. No point allowing pride to ruin a good friendship. Besides, if you stop demanding perfection and try for some basic gratitude, you’ll be much happier with the results.

SAGITTARIU­S

Nov 22 - Dec 21

Those career wins aren’t over yet. So if the yearning to retire to the beach has grabbed you again, put it straight back in its box. New and fascinatin­g directions are coming at you from the oddest sources. Seize them all, and experiment whenever you have time to play. There are forces coming that will soon demand all your time. So take your pleasure where you can. Start with a massage.

CAPRICORN

Dec 22 - Jan 19

Obviously it’s virtually impossible for you to be anything less than wonderfull­y assertive and elegantly regal. But perhaps you could try. Just for a while. You need some practice in letting others feel they’ve won for a change. Great social and financial delights will be your reward. After which you can open your big mouth and start the game again. Start by congratula­ting yourself for creating what you’ve already got. And then start fine-tuning the edges.

AQUARIUS

Jan 20 - Feb 18

You’re looking fabulous and couldn’t be more pleased with yourself. Sure, there are niggling doubts in the dark corners but for now sunshine is all you can see. There’ sa chance to buy property or move to a better area. The fortunes are up, and opportunit­y is knocking loudly. The only thing stopping you is that peculiar desire to languish. Enough of that. Get up. Get moving. You’ll be so pleased you did.
