YOUR STARS
Your Year Ahead – Leo
Dramatic changes at work or home have either drawn issues together or split them. And if you were hoping for a quieter year ahead, think again. The coming 12 months offer little respite as the cosmos whisks you from the wings and plants you in the spotlight. Matters of love and work steal the opening scenes in August and September. If presented with different options in October, act quickly and decisively. December’s encore? Reciprocated love, a financial windfall and professional gain. Enjoy this delightful year.
Aries (March 21 - April 20)
When individuals are drawn to each other, the energies can be unstable. Sometimes it’s two steps forward and one back. The right balance for love to bloom takes patience. Even if you just achieve a friendship, there’s no loss. Should you need to applaud another’s good fortune, do so. Your support matters.
Taurus (April 21 - May 20)
With Mercury moving forward again, over the next few days you are free to sign contracts, schedule vital meetings, have significant conversations and make important decisions or purchases. Remain confident as you push ahead with anything that requires communication or forward planning. You’re back in control.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21)
If you’ve spent the past three weeks feeling mentally scrambled, hampered or indecisive, relief is near. It only takes a few days of Mercury being back on track for you to notice the difference. From here the planet will get stronger every day, as will you. Now it’s time for action based on new insight learnt over recent weeks.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22)
Our lives are full of opportunities to start over, but every so often a potent energy gives us a turbo-charged boost and makes new beginnings far easier to accomplish. With Mercury moving forward again, forward planning is the key to a firm future; so this week investigate ways to make your life grow. Money’s no object.
Leo (July 23 - August 23)
Life can be tough. Still, we must assume better times lie ahead. Luckily for you, a forward-moving Mercury does too. Your professional standing is in line for a boost, with opportunities from unusual sources. Being in the right place and making the right contacts are important ingredients to success, so just go for it.
Virgo (August 24 - September 22)
Whether your attention is focused on travel, moving house, career or love, expect some positive changes. Some say you’re impatient. Possibly, but only with trivialities. The strong resolve you’ve had to call on in recent times will now make you much more confident.
Libra (September 23 - October 23)
If you’ve felt burdened with responsibilities in recent times, a fastmoving Mercury will lift your mood. Expect a busy social scene and an equally agile love life. With finances also improving, you’re not averse to the occasional spending spree. No surprises, then, if loved ones benefit from your generosity. Travel if you can.
Scorpio (October 24 - November 22)
If you’re feeling restless and drumming your fingers for action, a happier Mercury should supply it. In other words, you have planetary permission to prosper and enjoy. This extends to the romantic arena. An irresistible magnetism keeps love on its toes, so don’t be surprised if someone’s eager to grab your exclusive attention.
Sagittarius (November 23 - December 21)
It’s a Sagittarian kind of week. Mercury is on the move and so are you. Don’t worry too much about formalities – it’s your spirit that others will notice. Should you find yourself up against equally determined minds, stop and listen. You could actually learn from others’ opinions. But it’s not all work. Social invitations no longer need polite avoidance.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 20)
Patient Capricorns should finally hear news that puts an end to frustrating delays. Life feels anything but dull. It’s also a major money week, with cash flowing in as well as out. Neglected romance should strengthen. Singles feel more confident about flaunting their assets. Something for everyone, it seems.
Aquarius (January 21 - February 18)
Sharing the brighter and more affectionate side of your character comes naturally this week, and you’re more drawn towards risk and adventure. So if unexpected offers come sailing in, you’re keen to hop on board. Fortunately, instinct will help you negate any obstacles as you intuitively sail in the right direction.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
You’re exhausted, Pisces, and it’s a fair bet that relationship issues need sorting. But a chirpier Mercury turns your attention away from life’s traumas. Give yourself permission to shift to solitary and back again, depending on your mood. Both modes of operation will work for you now. Take time out for some pampering too.
