What do the stars hold in store for you?

CAPRICORN
Dec 22 - Jan 19
Wednesday's Capricorn new moon teams up with the planets of love, mastery, communication and transformation to launch you into a year of personal fabulousness. Nothing can go wrong this week, unless your absurd fear of change trips you up. Remember, this is not so much about what you want, as the way it has to be. Ultimately, you'll discover they're both the same thing.
AQUARIUS
Jan 20 - Feb 18
It's a happy, loving week. Even those occasional thoughtless remarks are flying past unnoticed. Partners are generous, and your tiny flaws are indulged as endearing eccentricities. Spend the week rehearsing your communication skills - just in case. Your planets are making extra demands after Wednesday, and, if you're not careful, you'll forget how to censor yourself.
PISCES
Feb 19 - Mar 20
Wondering what's happened to your life's work? Your dreams of greatness? Your plans to save the world? Hold that thought. The planets have slowed down for a second look. Are you sure you want so much? The truth is, most Pisceans prefer the fantasy of fame and fortune hidden behind a gentler life. This truly is a week to be careful what you wish for. You can't give it back once you've got it, you know.ARIES
Mar 21 - April 19
The folks are clamouring for attention, threatening to drive you over the edge. Say something to appease them until you're feeling better. You feel lost without them, even if they do drive you crazy. Keep a close eye on your money; someone's trying to take it from you. Not to worry, fabulous arrivals will easily cover your costs much sooner than you dared hope.
TAURUS
Apr 20 - May 20
Love gets happier as your needs find a more realistic outlet. Instead of trying to perfect the people in your life, try locating their inner magic. That part is already perfect. Besides, you'll have more time to play as the job market shifts and the money markets take an interesting new turn. But new parameters are needed. And exploration is the key.
GEMINI
May 21 - June 20
Isn't this great? Suddenly everyone seems to be thinking the same way you do - or at least understanding where you're coming from. Use this week, particularly after Wednesday's new moon, for big announcements, dramatic plans and amazing trips. Organisation is the key, though - something you'd better pay someone else to manage. For now, you get to wallow in the good stuff - anywhere your imagination can take you.CANCER
June 21 - Jul 22
Relationships need resolution and Wednesday's new moon makes sure you get first option. Being stubborn, you tend to stick around too long - which leaves your fate in cosmic hands more often than you'd like. Consider yourself warned. No one knows what you want, but you. This month brings a deliciously rare blue moon. You can have whatever you want.
LEO
Jul 23 - Aug 22
Excellent. Your spending has calmed down to a panic and, for the first time in ages, you know where your money is, or isn't. Next step: focus on a career that is taking off in giant leaps. Obviously, applause would be nice, but that may have to wait until Wednesday's new moon shows you the way. Next week you'll have help. This week, you get to show 'em what you're made of.
VIRGO
Aug 23 - Sep 22
It's a simple week. Hard work and romance included as you launch yourself into a fascinating new year with vigour. If you're already in love, get some interesting underwear. If you're looking, just open the door - wearing the underwear. New friends are in the offing too, as everyone wants to join your circle. Work is a slog, but that's okay. There's a point to all this. You'll see - nothing ends the way it started.
LIBRA
Sep 23 - Oct 22
Having fun still seems more important than anything else because your year starts later than theirs. So if everyone's calling you a slob, laugh and invite them to your next party. Truly, this is one of those times when life's purpose eludes you - in favour of the next cocktail. Fortunately, the people who love you are taking care of business. Be grateful. Enjoy the moment.
SCORPIO
Oct 23 - Nov 21
The cosmos created this week especially for you. Not one minute to be wasted on guilt, regret or any other self criticism. Which leaves the field free for . what? The problem is you've spent so much time pandering to others, you've forgotten your own dreams. So it's time to experiment. Try everything until you see something you like. Set fire to those creative instincts.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov 22 - Dec 21
It won't be easy, but try doing one thing at a time. And actually finishing it before you embark on something new. Needless to say, the temptations to lose your focus will be endless. But there are things like integrity and reputation at stake. Not only that. If you can follow through this time, you're much more likely to be taken seriously next time round. Take it slowly. The planets are playing some very peculiar games...
