Low from $14.99 to Get Your Fashion Lucky Horoscope Clothes, Saves A Lot. Just Be Quick!
.

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) You'll get favourable publicity that will boost your career prospects. Be sure to look your best, as you could be interviewed for a telecast or photographed for the newspaper. If you're in a dead end job, now is the time to pursue your dream career. Opportunities related to art, music, and luxury goods are favoured. On the other hand you could land a prominent position involving property, banking, or management. Any work involving the provision of practical services is highly favoured.

  .
Taurus (Apr21/May21) Travelling, studying, and writing will transform the way you see the world. Venturing into unfamiliar territory will uplift and inspire you. Lately, you've been tired of treading the same path. Visiting another country or reading a challenging book will prompt you to break a stultifying pattern. Be ready to defend an outsider. You may not realise it, but people really value your opinion. If they see you taking pains to accept someone new, they'll follow suit. Set a higher standard.
  .
Gemini (May22/Jun21) A passionate love affair takes the sting out of work. You can't wait to finish your day so you can go running into your lover's arms. The two of you will achieve heights of pleasure you never dreamed possible. It's easy to forget your inhibitions with someone who intuits your erogenous zones. If you're single, you will meet someone special at an elegant dinner, fundraiser, or professional gathering. Keep your eyes open for a high powered executive with gorgeous bone structure.
  .
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) A close partnership will allow you to enjoy the pleasures of life more fully. Let your best friend, lover, or business colleague relieve you of some heavy burdens. Take this opportunity to go on holiday or spend more time on your favourite activities. You've been blessed with considerable creative ability. When you don't use it, you become depressed and despondent. Part of the problem is you are convinced you are worthless unless you're making money.
  .
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) The results of a fitness regime are impressive. You look better than ever, and people are sitting up and taking notice. Don't be surprised when somebody who was once indifferent to your charms now lavishes you with attention. Ironically, you're no longer attracted to your new fan. You want to be appreciated for the real you. Still, it's nice to be able to fit into fashionable clothes. Treat yourself to a shopping spree; you're sure to find many fabulous additions to your wardrobe!
  .
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) A romantic encounter leaves you breathless with excitement. It's a little scary to realise how much power your lover has over you. What you don't realise is that you have an equally strong impact on them. Don't be afraid to make demands of your partner. The best way to assess a person's feelings is to see how their actions are supported by their words. If someone truly loves you, they'll go out of their way to make you comfortable, happy, and entertained.
  .
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) You're more determined than ever to create a happy home. Paint a gloomy room a bright colour. Plant a flower garden. Clear the clutter from a space that can be used as a hobby room. By channelling your artistic abilities into your home, your pride will soar. If your current living situation is entirely unsuitable, find a new one. A little research and a lot of tenacity will turn up a beautiful place that's off the beaten path. You will benefit from a little seclusion.
  .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Your keen intellect craves stimulation. This is a great time to take a challenging class. Be sure to study a subject that appeals to your sensual side. Too often, you sacrifice happiness for practicality. Just because your education has nothing to do with your job doesn't mean it's worthless. On the contrary, you'll become a more productive, well rounded employee when you achieve a better balance between work and play. There's more to life than drudgery.
  .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) You have a fabulous opportunity to increase your income. Finding ways to make life more comfortable and pleasant for powerful clients is your speciality. You know how to anticipate their needs and lighten their workloads. In exchange, they'll pay you handsomely. If you've ever wanted to launch your own business, now is the time to do so. There should be an element of exclusivity with what you do.
  .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Your powers of persuasion are at an all time high. There's never been a better time to interview for a job, ask for a date, or apply for a loan. Don't worry if you've been turned down before. Your luck will change. Just keep pouring on the charm. Flattery gets you everywhere right now. Refrain from laying all of your cards on the table. Cultivating an air of mystery will draw people to you like moths to a flame. It feels great to be everyone's object of desire.
  .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Working alone on a labour of love will be fulfilling. You're tired of getting feedback from people who should know better. You have a very clear idea of how this project should look. Having people criticise your efforts fills you with resentment. Fortunately, you'll have a prolonged window of private time to do whatever you wish. Use this interlude to let your imagination run wild. You're bound to create a compelling work of lasting beauty.
  .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Friends in high places will help you attain success. Don't hesitate to call in a few favours. After all, you've always helped your nearest and dearest to get jobs, find places to live, and promote their talents. Why shouldn't you benefit from their influence? There's a chance you've developed romantic feelings for a friend. Go ahead and act on your impulses. There's a good chance the object of your affection shares your feelings, and is yearning for you to make a move.
