TAURUSApril 20 - May 20
Make that commitment you've been dithering over for years. What's the big deal? There's nothing worse than indecision: so go for a yes or a no. Tomorrow's full moon shines a light on your options. We're talking about love. Career commitment can be held off for another week or two. But love means vulnerability. Wonderful if you have the courage to let your true self out of its cage.
GEMINIMay 21 - June 20
Stop thinking and start doing for a change. That "all mouth and no action" syndrome is distorting your relationships and blocking your love life. Plan a trip - with the lover if possible - for a change of perspective. You need a reminder of the wonders of the universe, and of the magic of your own potential. Meanwhile, watch your money for a couple of weeks.
CANCERJune 21 - July 22
Someone's been slagging you off with no motivation other than jealousy. Use this week's energies to peer through the smoke without succumbing to the need for revenge. Simply decide to attract different experiences into your life. But you might want to keep your options open for a while. Don't make any final decisions until you're ready. For now, there are too many unknown quantities obscuring the view. Patience.
LEOJuly 23 - August 22
Focusing your time on annoyances will distract you from your grand plan. Energy is something you can't afford to waste, so forgive the guilty parties and get on with your life. Better news is that relationships are moving again. The trouble is you have yet to decide who you're moving forward with. It's not a decision to be rushed. Use tomorrow's full moon to fall in love with yourself.
VIRGOAugust 23 - September 22
Career changes are afoot. You've probably been thinking for some time that you'd like to do something different but weren't sure what. Now's the time to seize every opportunity and examine all options. Something fantastic will present itself if you make yourself available. The planets are with you.  Ask someone more detached than  you are for advice. Then trust yourself.
LIBRASeptember 23 - October 22
Procrastination can only lead to frustration. Despite your endless list of excuses, there are probably none good enough to justify your dilliness. Your love life needs some urgent help, and tomorrow's full moon brings all the inspiration you'll require. If you're concerned about communication, wait until Friday when you'll have a better chance of being understood. Until then, write lists of desires - and take some action.
SCORPIOOctober 23 - November 21
There's no need to fight over current projects as there's plenty to go around. Stop worrying about who has the biggest title and concentrate on what's needed most to guarantee success. If you step back an inch, you'll discover that status was not really what you were after. It was the satisfaction at having accomplished something so amazingly worthwhile.
SAGITTARIUSNovember 22 - December 21
Just for a change, you're staring reality in the face. Since most of your life is based on fantasy, drama and philosophy, this promises to be a fairly shocking week. Make some lists and keep a handle on your real needs. Then try to view these energies as the learning curve of a lifetime instead of a nightmare to be endured. You'll discover fantastic talents you had no idea were there.
CAPRICORNDecember 22 - January 19
High energy and renewed confidence are good for the soul, even if you're not sure you deserve them. Even you have limitations. Remember, no one's impressed by Superman on crutches. So think about this: you're becoming a better listener, which is great for the love life. You're learning how to delegate. The snag is that you've found yourself in the middle of someone else's drama. Move out at once.
AQUARIUSJanuary 20 - February 18
Stop feeling sorry for yourself and take some initiative. The trouble is you're so accustomed to being talented, brilliant and irresistible, you've forgotten how to actually do anything. Now's the time. So work on taking charge, raking in the dough (lots coming in) and keeping your career on the ladder. That'll do for now. Love is about to take on a life of its own. Eyes peeled.
PISCESFebruary 19 - March 20
Scary as it may sound, there's a chance here to broaden your horizons. If opportunities for real expansion are limited by lack of funds, make a point of meeting unusual people and probing their depths. If money's not a problem, catch the next plane out. And don't come back until you've discovered something to revolutionise the way you live. Or think. Or both. No need to go alone either.
ARIESMarch 21 - April 19
Your urge to be spectacular grows stronger, driving you to find ever more compatible friends. Don't make this about them. Use the energies to study philosophy or find a new truth. Do your best to hold out against enthusiasms of a mate who's yanking at your reins. You don't have to be like other people to get on with them. Use tomorrow's full moon to state your case. Remind yourself how extraordinary you are...
