CAPRICORN
Dec 22 - Jan 19
Enough with the shrinking violet routine. "Humble", "shy" and "reticent" no longer wash. Come out from under that bushel and show 'em your stuff. There's money to be made and autographs to be signed. Don't waste your big moment. If you were wondering if there was a reason why you're swamped by admirers - yes, the planet of gorgeousness has joined in. Make the most of it.
AQUARIUS
Jan 20 - Feb 18
There's just one potential snag in an otherwise remarkable week: money. For some reason, your attention span is wavering and you're making decisions that won't help you. Best thing would be to restrict all financial changes until next month. Focus instead on attracting new loves, opportunities and friends. For now, your money can look after itself. Love needs a closer look.
PISCES
Feb 19 - Mar 20
Shared goals are what you need. For a variety of reasons you've misplaced your direction, so it's time to hitch a ride on someone else's. Just until you've got your bearings back. And, sure, that probably means taking orders for a while. But what the heck? Pecking orders change as rapidly as election dates these days. Besides, you could use a break. Just for once, you're not the one with all the answers. Relief.
ARIES
Mar 21 - April 19
This is the week to jack up your knowledge of tax alternatives, overseas investment options and better ways to handle your personal business. Do your homework well, and the year-end will show dividends not even you dared hope for. And in those few spare moments? Try for some unrewarded generosity. It's good for your soul. Love is percolating in unexpected places - a bonus.
TAURUS
Apr 20 - May 20
It's up to you. Once you've had the courage to take the initial step, others will see what you can do and help you up the rest. Then, if you need assistance, wait for inspiration while wondering what to wear. Meanwhile, spend some time on your health. Your emotions have gone out of balance and taken your body along with them. Keep the alcohol levels down for a while.
GEMINI
May 21 - June 20
So now you love your work or will fairly soon. In other words, if you're not already sitting in the chair of your choice, put on your tap shoes and start dancing. The spotlight is on you, and people around you want to be impressed. Watch for changes in mood or action. Something big is about to happen. Make sure you're in front of the queue when it does. But most importantly, have you made a list of desires?CANCER
June 21 - Jul 22
There's no question who's in charge this week. The cosmic forces are with you, and your personal spark is almost frightening. Still, even you have lessons to learn. And yours is about the real meaning of power. The truth is, power is less about them and more about you; about letting things take their natural course. About controlling less and accepting more. It's about trusting yourself.
LEO
Jul 23 - Aug 22
Finally, you're able to finish that project you started so long ago. Still, it feels good to do your bit, especially when you see the appreciation and recognition that goes with it. Meanwhile, protect your assets - including your sanity and sense of personal worth. Someone wants what you've got. So just say "no" and close the door. Ask yourself where else you're being taken for granted.
VIRGO
Aug 23 - Sep 22
A fresh start is called for, and a rediscovery of the real meaning of love. And that means love for yourself as much as anyone else. There's new romance out there, but how about some recognition for your own gifts and offerings? There is no need to settle for second best. Here's your chance to by-pass mediocre and go for broke. The only rule is that you have to know what you want. And you have to want it enough.
LIBRA
Sep 23 - Oct 22
An unprecedented winning streak is on your menu for the week, particularly between Tuesday and Friday. Even so, don't mess with anything you can't afford to lose. Not that a small glitch in your afternoon would bother you. With your sex appeal and magnetism, there isn't a soul who could resist whatever you thought appropriate to suggest. Try to keep it legal. Be ready to travel.
SCORPIO
Oct 23 - Nov 21
The odd financial slip-up on your part will need to be fixed this week. Don't put it off. Your optimistic nature hopes the drama will disappear if you ignore it long enough. Not this one, especially with the kind of jealous energy you have around you now. There are those who'd like to see you fall on your face. Don't give them that pleasure. You're the one with the angels in your corner.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov 22 - Dec 21
A memorable but daunting time for you with the world looking on and everyone passing comments. Pay no attention. The point is, it's you they're looking at. Which means you're interesting enough to warrant attention. Recognise that, and trust yourself to keep moving. It's time to sort out your relationships - all of them - possibly even signing the odd legal document while you're at it. It's all happening precisely as it needs to...
