That soft Pisces energy doesn’t fool anyone. Behind those magnetic, dreamy eyes beats the heart of a warrior. And with the planets as they are, you’re in the mood for a fight. Take your time. Use this month to make new plans and gather your team. November to February will challenge you to bring out your “A” game. Remember, your purpose is about finding the courage to rush into the dark so you can teach others how to conquer their fears. That’s not an easy task — and that you’re so empathetic makes it harder for you to tell the truth. So take it slowly. Use this time to explore your own fears — and let them go. In February, you’ll move into a lucky phase where adventure and success are laid at your door. Your only real stumbling block is a mad ego that refuses to admit to being wrong. Practise a few times until it becomes easier. Use your wonderful instincts to direct you. And gather the kind of people you’ll enjoy playing with. Next year is a big one. Paste on that gorgeous smile.

LIBRA Sep 23 - Oct 22
The planets are fabulous, egging you on, reminding you of your magnificence. But not even you can bypass a power full moon, designed to rethink love and commitment issues. Noone expects you to buy into the picketfence dream. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have a dream. Spend time with yourself, getting reacquainted with your secret desires. The career’s on its own mission for now. This one’s for you.
SCORPIO Oct 23 - Nov 21
Feeling abused over money again? For future reference, burn these rules into your brain: never lend money ever. If someone wants money, only give what you can afford to lose — and never think about it again. In business, never give or take money without a contract, signed in triplicate by 15 lawyers and your mother. Got that? Oh, and look out for new friends. Invite them in. The tide is turning. Today’s full moon has a surprise for you.
SAGITTARIUS Nov 22 - Dec 21
Relationships improve as the happy planets move in on your love life. Make the most. Today’s full moon shakes out remaining wrinkles, leaving you with enough romance and passion to lead you astray. Or not. Extra money, meanwhile, is a definite possibility — though there may not be much left over after you’ve paid your bills. And you will pay your bills, won’t you? This is not an area in which procrastination is allowed. Not this week.
CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 19
Here’s your instruction for the week: kindly resolve all family issues at once before they blow up in your face. Besides, even if you manage to weasel out of the main event, you’ll end up being blamed for the drama anyway. So you might as well choreograph the dance and at least get to enjoy the show. Then do something completely different. Explore variations on the love theme, for instance. Try for some romance. You’re good at that.
AQUARIUS Jan 20 - Feb 18
Romance is always good, even though it’s not necessarily your strong suit. Even so, since you’ve been thinking about moving in a different direction your actions have become hesitant and feeble. Enough of that. Rather do nothing than dilly around with someone’s feelings. And while you’re dwelling on that, plan a meeting. Attend a workshop. Take a course. Master new skills. You’ll do well. Something big is in the wind. And you’re ready for a change.
PISCES Feb 19 - Mar 20
Backtracking is what you’re doing. Wading through sludge. If you use today’s full moon to finish old business and clear out your desk you’ll have a sparkling new energy to take you into October. Once there, you’ll feel the fire flooding back into your veins. Use this soggy feeling to think about your real yearnings. Yours. Not theirs. Incidentally, the career needs a look too. Something unexpected is about to sweep through the door.
ARIES Mar 21 - April 19
Today’s fabulous Aries full moon lays out opportunities to heal old wounds while making some interesting moves. And if you’ll open yourself up to meaningful chats you might learn something useful about yourself. You are in charge. But only of yourself. Even so, think new and innovative. The old ways of operating will only slow you down. One more thing: it’s invitation season. Say yes to everything. Your life is transforming.
TAURUS Apr 20 - May 21
Are the in-laws making tedious demands? Or is it the neighbours? Either way, decide how much energy you have to share and save the rest for yourself. You’ll be busy all week as business trips and/or deals force you into a more serious mindset. Not that you’ll mind. There’s romance in the evenings and a little tension at home to keep you on your toes. Try to be nice. Might as well. The rewards come later, unless you’re happy just to be appreciated. That happens now.
GEMINI May 22 - Jun 20
The social life is pumping while the love life turns wicked. Where are all those morals you were so proud of? Use this week to decide what’s right for you and ignore all advice from anyone who disagrees with you. Romance and beauty are in. The details are yours to invent as you go along. The career is managing fine whether you’re involved or not. Plenty of time to slave when the planets shift. For now, order fun. You deserve it.
CANCER June 21 - Jul 22
It’s judgment day. Has your year been worthwhile so far? Today’s gorgeous full moon shows new directions — and the results of old ones. Certainly not an opportunity to beat yourself up. You’re being offered a chance to reassess and turn around. If you like. Chances are, you’ll be patting yourself on the back. Cancerians are well known for their intuitive wisdom. Mustn’t let it go to waste. Write a list of desires and read it out loud.
LEO Jul 23 - Aug 22
Nothing wrong with your week. For you, today’s full moon is about fabulous new loves, extra romance and even — if you’re looking (which you probably aren’t) — commitment. Children, babies, creative bursts and ingenious moments add to the delights. Favours are even being offered at work as the planet of courage and decisive choices lifts you up to a new platform. For the first time in ages you know exactly what you’re worth. Make demands. Gently.
VIRGO Aug 23 - Sep 22
You’re pushing yourself too hard. No-one will be impressed if you fall over. Besides, cosmic influences can best be handled by trust and instinct rather than slave labour. There are some things not even you can control. Today’s full moon increases the pressure to perform at work. It also offers help and suggestions for change. Listen closely to that inner voice. It’s virtually yelling. Accept help for a change. It’s free.
