Your stars
For the week 31 December – 6 January, with Russell Grant
CAPRICORN 22 December – 20 January
Capricorns such as TheFirstWivesClub’s Diane Keaton and Domestic Goddess Nigella Lawson will find happiness spending time with people who have radically different backgrounds. Grasp an unexpected opportunity to travel – you might discover a passion for an ancient culture on a trip overseas.
AQUARIUS 21 January – 19 February
You’ll make new friends or meet a romantic partner in a place you’ve never been to before. Grab opportunities to venture into unfamiliar territory. All eyes will be on you at a New Year party, so spend a little extra on an outfit. Devoting time to creative pursuits allows your inner child to come out to play.
PISCES 20 February – 20 March
Something special is going on and your soaring spirits are obvious for all to see. People will wonder, but you aren’t ready to reveal your secret. Even so, your warmth and enthusiasm will be infectious. It means a lot to you to be able to uplift others, so continue to do whatever makes you happy.
ARIES 21 March – 20 April
You’re thinking about getting involved in something new. Even if it means missing a social get-together, grasp this opportunity before it goes. You’ll hear of something that will help you make an important personal move. Decisions you make in the New Year will not be regretted and a bold strategy will pay off handsomely.
TAURUS 21 April – 21 May
A deadline is fast approaching. Planning exactly how you’re going to reach this goal will improve your performance. The more organised you are, the better you’ll feel. Friends and colleagues admire your business sense and will follow your advice. Your hard work will pave the way for future success.
GEMINI 22 May – 21 June
Revisiting a place you loved in your childhood will spark an unexpected and powerful surge of emotion. You might wish you could relive some experiences all over again. Happy memories will inspire you to contact someone you haven’t seen for a long time. You’re also thinking of starting a new creative project.
CANCER 22 June – 23 July
You won’t settle for second best. You’re determined to make a good job of anything you take on and you’re achieving impressive results. Work is rewarding because a new assignment is providing an opportunity for you to expand your skills. You’ll meet lots of successful people at a glamorous gathering.
LEO 24 July – 23 August
A burst of creativity will help you find solutions to problems that have been holding you back. This is your chance to move out of a difficult situation. Your natural charm and charisma turn heads wherever you go. This is a wonderful time to plan a big family reunion – arrange to meet at a halfway point between your homes.
VIRGO 24 August – 23 September
Some good news about a money matter will lift your spirits. Just don’t lend any to a friend who overspent at Christmas – friendship and finance don’t mix. Your social life will sparkle. Not only is the energy at a New Year’s party fun, but you’ll meet someone who could have a beneficial effect on your future.
LIBRA 24 September – 23 October
A senior colleague does not expect you to have strong views or sound knowledge on a subject that comes under discussion. When they realise how powerfully you feel, they may put you in charge of a special project. A professional opportunity is worth pursuing. Friends are genuinely happy for your success.
SCORPIO 24 October – 22 November
A challenge you take on may seem impossible, but where there’s a will, there’s a way. Rolling up your sleeves and getting on with the work that needs to be done will impress your boss and others around you. You’re determined to move forward with this and you’ll find a way to overcome any hurdles.
SAGITTARIUS 23 November – 21 December
You’re sure you must be the right person for a new job, but you need to prove it. So back up your words with actions and be realistic when making promises. Expect to make useful contacts in your field while attending a workshop or conference. New friendships will open the door to career opportunities.
