Jan Jacques tells you what the stars have in store this week
ARIES 20MAR-19APR
You’re afraid of nothing and no one, and this week’s super-sized total solar eclipse in your sign simply strengthens your tenacity. Work-related drama won’t unsettle you and may even speed up a fruitful career rethink. In love, honesty is key, but do turn on the tact. LUCKY MODE: Fearless
TAURUS 20APR-20MAY
This is your year for prosperity, so the solar eclipse of the 8th, scoring a direct hit on your money planet Mercury, should bring financial change in your favour. Some expert advice will help. Elsewhere, this transit may jumpstart a new you, intellectually and style-wise. LUCKY FUTURE: Dazzling
GEMINI 21MAY-20JUN
In a sink-or-swim situation, you tend to come out on top. But this solar eclipse heightens the need for strong self-belief, so start by surrounding yourself with souls who know your stellar qualities. Elsewhere, be extra-wary on social media – there’s a lot of scope for mix-ups. LUCKY COMPANY: Trusted pals
CANCER 21JUNE-22JULY
Your success lies in your laser focus this total solar eclipse. No going off-piste work-wise, and triple-check mundane details. Your attention will pay off. This transit also marks a confident new you who refuses to let others define you. Still generous, but with a shiny new steel core. LUCKY ATTRIBUTE: Inner strength
LEO 23JUL-23AUG
Go easy this solar eclipse. It impacts Mercury – who retrogrades, just to pile it on – meddling with work and money. Spend cautiously and put day-to-day detail under the microscope. Healthwise, self-care rules. From a lie-in to a long bath, do whatever helps you relax. LUCKY MOOD: Mellow
VIRGO 24 AUG-23 SEP
This transit may float to the surface a family dilemma, but tackling it will strengthen your bond. Money-wise, more detailed forward planning gives you control and brings fab travel closer. LUCKY SONG: Adventure Of A Lifetime by Coldplay
LIBRA 24 SEP-22 OCT
An old love grievance may be aired this stormy solar eclipse. Thankfully, your calm way with words should defuse tension, especially if you allow yourself to be open. Elsewhere, a spooky feeling of déjà vu is simply down to your extrareceptive sixth sense.
LUCKY GIFT: ESP
SCORPIO 23 OCT-22 NOV
Brace yourself for drama work-wise. But while tempers fray around you, a breakthrough in a current project could be yours. Health-wise, this transit may bring niggles to the surface. You’re extra-sensitive right now, so get checked for peace of mind. LUCKY POEM: If by Rudyard Kipling
SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV-21 DEC
Love is tested by this total solar eclipse. An ancient gripe needs indepth discussion, but call time out if you need to. You’ll get there eventually. Elsewhere, your creativity is gamechanging and about to earn you money. LUCKY ADVICE: Got to bed alone, rather than stay up and fight
CAPRICORN 22 DEC-19 JAN
Forget Eastenders – all the drama is in your house. This solar eclipse tests families, but peace will come quicker if you resist the urge to take sides. Work-wise, your superb communication skills will buy you lots of trust from someone important. LUCKY STRENGTH: Unflappability
AQUARIUS 20 JAN-18 FEB
You should emerge stronger from this powerful solar eclipse, as it may help eliminate a doubt about your partner. You do bring out the best in them and vice versa. Not so with siblings or a close pal – be the better person and overlook a fault. LUCKY POWER: Sound judgement
PISCES 19 FEB-19 MAR
As the zodiac empath, relationships can feel uneven, not helped by this solar eclipse. A gentle word in your partner’s ear will bring a sweet response, but wait until after the 8th. Avoid this date, also, when making money decisions
LUCKY QUALITY: Compassion
