.

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) A deep, abiding love transforms the way you look at life. Before you met your amour, you had certain plans that were set in stone. Now you realise you've been selling yourself short. Travelling to foreign lands, expressing yourself through writing, and developing your artistic talents are all avenues you want to explore. There's no reason you have to continue down a boring, predictable path. Ask your partner for support and change direction. It's never too late to realise your full potential.

 .

Taurus (Apr21/May21) Your confidence gets a huge boost from a magnetic teacher. At long last, you feel encouraged and appreciated. You've always had a profound love of the arts. Take this opportunity to capitalise on your knowledge of the creative arts. Apply for jobs that speak directly to your passion. The competition will be fierce, but you're a very strong contender for a prominent job in a cultural organisation. Be sure to stress your strong work ethic during an interview.

 .

Gemini (May22/Jun21) Escaping the world through drugs, alcohol, or sex can be tempting. You're tired of bashing your head against a brick wall. If you give yourself one last push you'll finally overcome a stubborn obstacle. You have a sharp intellect, as well as a keen wit. Drawing on these qualities will melt a rival's defences. It's hard to refuse someone who is so charming and perceptive. Enlist the aid of a government worker if you must deal with a complicated bureaucracy.

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Your goals are undergoing a profound transformation. The activities that once filled you with excitement no longer captivate you. It's time to build a new dream. There's a good chance you've been taking a greater interest in the visual arts. Playing with colour, form, and composition will be a welcome challenge. Sign up for a painting class. An attentive teacher will recognise your talent and help bring it to perfection. You're about to embark on a whole new life, and it feels great.

 .

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) There's more to you than meets the eye. Although you've always had a fondness for glitz and glamour, you have real depth of character. This shows whenever you exercise your leadership ability. You make sure every member of your team feels valued. You reward good work and demand improvements whenever somebody falls short of the mark. Last but not least, you treat everybody with dignity. No wonder why so many people enjoy working with you! Use your popularity to catapult you up the ladder of success.

 .

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Your beliefs are undergoing a profound change, thanks to a younger friend. Seeing the world through their eyes renews your faith in humanity. Suddenly a world that seemed to be heading for destruction seems rife with possibility. Get involved with an environmental organisation, recycling drive, or organic food project is a great use of your time. If you play your cards right, you'll be offered a paying position within the year. Earning a salary to make the world a better place is your idea of heaven.

 .

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Tapping into your sensual side is critical to your happiness. You have a tendency to skim the surface of life, avoiding skirmishes and difficult questions. Now you have a chance to learn what you really want from life. Hitch your star to a visionary artist who brings out your playful side. With their encouragement, you'll become more assertive. Instead of deferring to your loved ones, you'll suggest the restaurant or movie. Don't be surprised when you become more forceful in the bedroom, too.

 .

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Your financial picture is starting to improve. A job opportunity involving teaching, writing, or research is worth taking. Don't worry if you lack previous experience. You're a fast learner and your employer has faith in your ability. It's especially fun to delve into a subject that's close to your heart. Your enthusiasm will be infectious, and you'll attract a loyal following very quickly. Pretty soon, people will be clamouring for your services. Adjust your prices accordingly; it's only fair.

 .

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) A short trip for pleasure gives you a new lease on life. You're not the type who enjoys staying rooted to one place. Head for a nearby town that's always interested you. Venturing into unfamiliar territory will make you less resentful of your job and family. There's nothing wrong with having a home base. Problems occur when you lay the blame for your boredom on the people and activities that provide security. Learn to satisfy your desire for stimulation when restlessness sets in.

 .

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Realising the full extent of your personal power is as simple as finding a creative outlet. You especially like working with your hands. Hobbies involving textiles, clay, beads, or metalwork will bring you fame and acclaim. You're a lot more artistic than you realise. Don't let practical considerations stop you exercising your imagination. Sometimes you have to throw caution to the wind and take a risk. If you make a mistake, at least you will have had a little fun along the way.

 .

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) This is a good time to find a new place to live, you should search for a home in a relatively secluded area. Although you're highly social, you need a private retreat where you can rest and relax. If you don't have the money for a deposit, you can seek financial help from government sources. Alternatively, a generous relative will give you the necessary funds. Don't hesitate to accept help. You've always prided yourself on being self sufficient, but tend to take this policy too far.

 .

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Improving your health requires a big change to your routine. Eating nutritious food, taking regular exercise, and getting more sleep are all critical to your wellbeing. It may be difficult to overhaul your ways if you're surrounded by people who encourage your bad habits. Perhaps it's best to separate yourself from the crowd, at least for the short term future. Don't reveal your plans to anyone in the initial stages. Just take this opportunity to focus on your own needs.

.

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) You're intent on creating security for your family. Put away a little money into a savings, college, or retirement fund. By putting a set percentage of your income aside for a rainy day, you'll be able to provide your loved ones with a nice cushion. Looking for a way to save money? Think about growing your own food. Joining a food cooperative can be economical, too. You might even be able to trade services with a local farmer. The fresher your produce is the better.

 .

Taurus (Apr21/May21) Normally, you don't give your opinion quickly, preferring to deliberate over decisions. This time you're anxious to move forward with a project. Fortunately, your instincts are right on target, especially where an ethical matter is concerned. Making a change to a daily procedure will improve the lives of everyone involved. Some traditionalists will wax nostalgic for the old days, but you're smart enough to realise these methods were outmoded and unfair.

 .

Gemini (May22/Jun21) You have to spend money to make money. Putting resources into household repairs will make for a good return on your investment. Of course, you should use quality materials. This is no time to be penny wise and pound foolish. A relative who is experiencing financial money could use some help. Put some cash in an envelope and slip through their letterbox. Don't let your loved one know you are behind this generous act or they'll feel obligated.

 .

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) It's time to assert your leadership ability. Generally, you don't like throwing your weight around. Now you have a chance to bring a lot of valuable resources to the public. By speaking on their behalf, you'll make life easier for a lot of people who are struggling. This is a great time to initiate a neighbourhood beautification project or launch a free lunch program. The whole community will come together to turn this dream into a reality.

 .

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Working in seclusion is soothing. You're tired of being micromanaged. Fortunately, you have a clear idea of what you want and possess the talent to realise this vision. This effort will bring you plenty of fame and acclaim. It's great to be celebrated for your gifts, especially when you've been given so many thankless jobs in the recent past. That is all about to change thanks to this most recent victory. It looks like you're in for a promotion.

 .

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Organising a group effort is right up your alley as you love finding ways to stretch limited resources. Besides, it gives you pleasure to plan an event designed to bring so much happiness. If you've got too much on your plate, enlist the aid of a friend with executive leadership ability. Together, you'll be able to blast through obstacles that would normally stop you in your tracks. Don't forget to wish your favourite Lion a very happy birthday.

 .

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Taking charge of a troubled organisation gives you a thrill. You are great at bringing together warring parties in a spirit of harmony. If you play your cards right, you'll win a paying position that has plenty of perks. It won't be any trouble getting tickets to shows and tables at restaurants. If there's anything you enjoy, it's being celebrated for your talents. Don't be surprised if you become something of a minor celebrity in your community. Your name will be synonymous with success.

 .

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) You're able to use your superior knowledge to benefit the whole group. People look to you for answers when they are confused. Most of the time, you are very gentle with your followers, but sometimes, you have to be firm with the stubborn ones. In the end everybody respects your methods. If you're thinking of taking a trip overseas, schedule one now, and be sure to invite your favourite person along. The two of you will have fun exploring an ancient city.

 .

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Troubleshooting is your specialty and you love finding solutions to stubborn problems. Your effort won't go unnoticed. A colleague who benefits from your help will return the favour. Be ready to accept their offer of concert tickets or a gift certificate. Turning down this offer will be like rejecting their gratitude. Besides, it's about time somebody rewarded you for all the good deeds you perform on a daily basis! Some people need to learn how to give, and others how to receive. You're in the second category.

 .

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) You're intent on getting your point across, even if you have to do the dance of the seven veils. By interspersing your pitch with lots of humour, you'll eventually win over your audience. Still, there may be one or two stubborn holdouts. The best way to appeal to them is through flattery. By appealing to their vanity, their defences will drop and you'll be able to get unanimous support. This is just one of those many instances when your persistence pays off.

 .

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) You cut through chores like a hot knife through butter. There's a good chance you'll finish work well ahead of time. Knock off early and head for home. Your nearest and dearest are so anxious to spend more time with you. Prepare an elaborate meal with all of your favourite dishes. Nothing is nicer than enjoying good food with the people you love. Don't be surprised if you feel the knot in your shoulders loosen as a result of this warm interlude.

 .

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Romantic sparks are flying between you and a neighbour. You might find yourself passing by this cute number's place several times a day. It is time to stop playing games and get to the point. Invite the object of your affection out for coffee or something stronger. The two of you will feel an instant rapport. If you're already in a relationship, throw a party for your amour and be sure to invite all their friends, even the ones you dislike!

.

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) You have a way with children that is charming to see. It's easy for you to appreciate their youthful spirits, because you're something of a youngster yourself. If you're suffering a creative block, spend some time with a young person or two. Their unbridled enthusiasm will inspire you and bring you back to the page, easel, or instrument. A playful note from an admirer fills you with excitement. There's something very sexy about putting your feelings into words.

 .

Taurus (Apr21/May21) The importance of a good education can't be underestimated. If you feel like you have to fill in the gaps of your own knowledge, enrol in an adult education class that sounds interesting. There's no point in studying a subject which has absolutely no charm for you. The nice thing about being an adult is having the ability to choose how to fill your time. A youngster who shows creative talent will benefit from lessons.

 .

Gemini (May22/Jun21) People are eager to learn what you have to teach and it's because you have such enthusiasm for your subject. You never get tired talking about your field of specialty. In fact, you find the more you discuss it, the more you learn. Your students never fail to show you new and different ways of seeing issues. If you've always wanted to write a book, now is the time to try. Words flow from you like water from a mighty river.

 .

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Nothing gives you more pleasure than getting a bargain. This is a great time to find a good price on a television, stereo, or play station. Don't hesitate to negotiate with a store manager. Flattery will get you everywhere. If you've been toying with a business idea, take steps to bring it to fruition. You're very good at finding ways to bring glamour and excitement into people's lives. Apply to a lending institution for some start up money; you'll be able to pay it back in no time flat.

 .

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Normally, you're pretty stubborn, but that's not the case now. Let a loved one introduce you to a new kind of cuisine, art form, or hobby. You'll be very pleased you took the plunge. Launching a website or blog is a great idea. Pretty soon, you'll become an Internet sensation. Fortunately, you won't let fame go to your head. You've already got a pretty good opinion of yourself, anyway, and for good reason. Your zest for life uplifts and inspires everyone you meet.

 .

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Listen to your dreams, as they are trying to tell you something. It's time to stop depriving yourself of the people, places, and things you love. If you've been contemplating a trip, schedule it as soon as possible. Have you been thinking back on the days when you used to play a musical instrument? Dust it off and play a few notes. Has it been a long time since you've seen one of your closest friends? Arrange to have dinner together.

 .

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) You're able to talk with anyone about anything and that's why you're so popular. Someone who has a lot of contacts in the entertainment industry will be especially impressed with your social skills. Don't be surprised if you're offered a job in a prominent company. Rubbing elbows with the rich and famous will be exciting. It will also prompt you to develop your own artistic skills. Being in a creative environment always fuels the imagination. It's an unwritten law of the Universe.

 .

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Your speaking and writing abilities will be showcased. As a general rule, you loathe the spotlight. This time around you'll be anxious to share your thoughts with a receptive audience. The enthusiastic reception you'll receive might even give you a taste for fame. What's more likely is that you will take a few bows and then go back to working behind the scenes. After you make this presentation, people will come out of the woodwork for your services.

 .

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) An interest in law, publishing, religion or philosophy could prompt you to go back to learning. Taking up a course of study gives you the intellectual stimulation you crave. Plus, it will put you in contact with some very smart people. These new friends will inspire you to fulfil your potential. As a general rule, you take life easy. This sometimes means you take the path of least resistance, when you should be challenging yourself. That's all about to change.

 .

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) You'll finally get to the bottom of a mystery that has kept you awake for many nights. Be sure to fill out paperwork to get a refund or insurance payment. The more thorough your application, the faster the money will arrive. Someone will confess a crush on you, which is flattering. You're not sure whether you return their feelings. Don't feel pressured into pursuing a relationship. Hold out for someone who really captivates your heart.

 .

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Brainstorming with an artistic friend will yield exciting results. Your vision, combined with their practicality, makes a great combination. This is also a good time to negotiate the terms of a deal. Don't be afraid to press for a few key perks. At first, the powers that be will refuse your requests. If you stick to your guns you'll get everything you want, plus a few extras. It's very difficult to resist your charms. Besides, you deserve to be compensated for your work and talent.

 .

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Going for a check up will help you deal with a nagging ache or pain. It's possible you won't even need medication or a procedure to take care of this problem. Some deep breathing exercises, gentle stretching, or massage can do the trick. Alternatively, you may need to make some minor alternations to your diet. You'll be so grateful to feel like your old self again that you'll do anything to maintain your health. Stop procrastinating and make an appointment.

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Romance comes knocking at your door, whether you want it or not. There's something so irresistible about your inner fire. If you're single, you'll have your pick of several suitors. While you have fun with every one of them, you have a special fondness for the most glamorous member of the group. Are you already in a relationship? Do something special for your amour, like giving them a gift of something that shows how you feel about them.

 .

Taurus (Apr21/May21) Home is where the heart is. You love making rooms comfortable with plants, beautiful colours, and beautiful artwork. This is a great time to explore antique shops and second hand stores for furniture. The perfect chair or couch is yours for a song. Childhood memories have been on your mind lately. This is a great time to plan a family reunion. Getting together with your nearest and dearest helps put petty problems in perspective.

 .

Gemini (May22/Jun21) Taking an art class is a great way to express your creative side. You're always so busy working and running errands, it's hard to find time to paint, write, and play music. That will change when you're paying to attend a course. Fortunately, you won't have to spend a lot to study with a talented teacher. There's something about your instructor that helps you hone your skills to perfection. Maybe it's the way they champion your more unusual ideas.

 .

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Money arrives in the nick of time, allowing you to buy some luxuries that were previously out of reach. Go ahead and splurge on an entertainment centre or glamorous outfit. You've always been very frugal, but you can't deny your love of beauty. Treating yourself will make it easier to cope with life's little disappointments. This is a great time to ask for a raise. Just because you were turned down in the past doesn't mean it will happen again.

 .

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Your friendly attitude attracts plenty of luck. Be sure to enter a contest, game of chance, or lottery. You don't have to spend all of your savings to increase the odds in your favour. Entering one time or buying a single ticket is all that's necessary to win. Showing off your creative efforts will also yield impressive fruits. People are enchanted with your eye for colour and way with words. There's even a chance you'll get paid for your work.

 .

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Spending time on a cherished project replenishes your spirit. Recently, you've been making the rounds of lots of parties, which has been fun but tiring. Now you have a chance to kick back, relax, and focus on what you like to do. Whether that's painting, writing, drawing, or gardening, it doesn't matter. The important thing is to set aside a few hours for the things that make life worthwhile. Don't take the bait if friends or family try to lure you away from your activities.

 .

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Friends come out of the woodwork to help you with a project. Usually, you take your extensive social circle for granted. Lately you realise just how blessed you are in the friendship department. It feels good to be surrounded by people who appreciate your wit, creativity, and intelligence. Let your nearest and dearest share their resources with you. After all, you've been very generous to them. It's only fair you get a portion of what you've been giving all of these years.

 .

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) A career opportunity related to the arts, fashion, beauty, or entertainment will soon present itself. Although applying for such a high profile position is intimidating, push past your fears and do it anyway. You must admit, the job sounds like it's right up your street. If you're not in the position to work, look for ways to make your community more appealing and attractive. Planting flowers, cleaning a littered alleyway, or painting a shabby structure will make a world of difference.

 .

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) A long trip for pleasure is in the cards. You're overdue for a holiday. Book one now, when you can find great rates on hotels and plane fares. Head for a place known for its flashy entertainment. If you go to a casino or gambling resort, you could come out a lucky winner. Quit while you're ahead and spend your prize on something fun, like a flashy car, coat, or pair of shoes. Anything that turns heads is favoured. You must admit that you love causing a commotion!

 .

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Money from a personal or professional partner benefits you, too. Let your better half shower you with presents; you've certainly earned them. It looks like your love life is red hot, too. If you don't have a lover, you will find one at a concert, cinema or gallery. Keep your eyes open for someone with wild hair. The two of you will be an interesting study in contrasts, as you favour a conservative look, while your amour is famous for their glamour and glitz.

 .

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Don't be so quick to reject the idea of getting engaged or married. Even an independent soul like you can benefit from a committed partnership. Sometimes, you are so intent on going your own way you become lonesome. Fortunately, someone special is eager to share your burdens, as well as your happiness. Let down your defences; you won't be sorry. Alternatively, you may be considering a business partnership. Any union you make will enrich you, both emotionally and financially.

 .

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Who you know is just as important as what you know, so come out of your shell to make friends with neighbours and colleagues. You never know when you will need their help. Sometimes it's difficult for you to connect, because you're quite introverted. Once you do establish a relationship with somebody you usually form a fast friendship. People respond eagerly to your kindness, compassion, and humour. These days, those qualities are hard to come by.
