What do the stars hold in store for you? SCORPIO (Oct 23 - Nov 21)The Force is with you, increasing its power as you use it. For you, everything is possible, and no mere mortal would dare stand in your way. So make a list. Think about all the things that make you happy, and then set about acquiring them, one by one. This is your call to be bigger than those who have annoyed you - rise above them and punish them with the glow of your success.SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 - Dec 21)Here's a conflict that will confuse you: how do you balance your new responsibilities with your need for freedom? After a lifetime of doing exactly what you please, the arrival of a leash will be less than welcome. Never mind. The planets are simply instructing you to deal with your duties before rushing out to play. Start by making a list. Discipline is the word we're after now.CAPRICORN (Dec 22 - Jan 19)Examine all the investment options, but take great pains to avoid sinking your savings into one potentially dodgy venture. Everyone knows how you love to appear to be the mogul with the mostest. But far fewer people are impressed by a penniless mogul. Cool it with the ego dramas. You'd be amazed how many people are bowled over by a slow, cool shake of the head. It looks fabulous.AQUARIUS (Jan 20 - Feb 18)That idealistic, save-the-world thing is going to get you into trouble this week. Unless you make up your mind to keep those meaningful "let me go to Syria and save the world" conversations to yourself. Try to limit your planet-saving goals to the same country for now. You've got fish to fry in the love department. Because as you may have forgotten, not even revolutionary saints like to be alone forever.PISCES (Feb 19 - Mar 20)Well, this is new. Suddenly everyone's bowing and scraping around you, asking how they can grant your smallest wish. And you can't take it, can you? You're so used to seeing yourself as the saviour and protector of others, you can't handle it when someone wants to save and protect you. Well, ha ha. Now tell yourself what you always tell them and say thank you. You deserve some fun too.ARIES (Mar 21 - Apr 19)The reputation is looking good, as is the career. Careful with that ego though. Sure, you're entitled to enjoy the moment. But remember that's all it is - a moment in time, following which you have to carry on living in the same head. At home, a more experimental approach to passion could be all that's needed to get love back on track. Try for some sensitivity. It works every time.TAURUS (Apr 20 - May 20)Nothing can please everyone. When it comes to your career, you're the only one doing what you do on a daily basis. So put yourself first. It's not so easy in the personal arena, where misunderstandings and poor communication can put an end to what you thought was a fabulous relationship. Face it. There's a tendency towards selfishness in love. Try sharing - at least your thoughts.GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)Family dramas may be there, but not for long if you're willing to use your sense of humour to smooth things over. Truth is, you've been feeling a little more uppity than usual and driving everyone nuts as a result. Obviously, no one is suggesting you revert to the position of doormat. How about using those energies to discover that honesty (not cruelty) doesn't have to mean that no one will like you.CANCER (June 21 - Jul 22)Ructions in the home? Take note: the changes taking place inside you are bound to affect those around you. Have a little patience. Everyone is uncomfortable when their security is threatened. They just need a little time - and a dose of your persuasive gifts - to grow accustomed to your new look. And come to think of it, you might occasionally like to take some of your own advice. It's good.LEO (Jul 23 - Aug 22)While the bank balance soars, the health plummets. In which case the martyr thing is out. No one ever feels sorry for you if you're rich, so you'd better make sure you're healthy and rich. This is not the time to take to your bed with smelling salts. Do a detox or see a doctor - and get well. You don't have any time to waste languishing. Buckets of love are waiting for you at the next party.VIRGO (Aug 23 - Sep 22)Never did let go of that love-of-your-life fantasy, did you? Well, now it's back for a second look. Can you be brave and finally put it down? Or are you still determined to become a life member of the miserable club? The goddess of love is in your sign all week, bringing you courage and an alternative interest. Think before you speak. You have a way of sticking both feet in your mouth.LIBRA (Sep 23 - Oct 22)Power struggles are not for you, but that doesn't mean you'll be let off playing the game. And now it's moved into the office. Step back for a detached look at what you're dealing with. It's called jealousy and the only way to handle it is to find a way of giving the jealous ones what they want. Not easy, but possible with a spot of ingenuity. For yourself, the focus is more on a love life that needs change...
