TAURUS
April 20 - May 20
Your new mantra: 'Work is not the most important thing in my life. I am.' Sounds easy. It's not. If you put your happiness at the front of every option, you'll make very different choices. Now all you have to do is figure out what makes you happy. Slowly. You've spent your life convincing yourself that duty, discipline and hard work are a natural part of life. You left a few items off the list.
GEMINI
May 21 - June 20
There's nothing you can't handle this week - business deals, public presentations, creative ideas, passionate loves ... name your poison. Of course, your burgeoning confidence could be mildly annoying for those who don't have any, but don't worry about them. Just try for some compassion now and then. Not everyone has your advantages, you know. Or your endless talents.
CANCER
June 21 - July 22
Ever wanted to be a healer of some sort? Start by using your remarkable gifts in any way you can. Just offer to help - and trust yourself. If you're patient, you'll soon start being noticed. Meanwhile, hang on to every penny. Financial rewards could be delayed a while. Not that you'll be overly concerned. A love affair will distract you from such tedious details. Meanwhile, get the ball rolling. Buy yourself some flowers.
LEO
July 23 - August 22
Excellent. You're starting to enjoy your work again. Which is just as well because you were seriously considering throwing it all up and taking up residence on a park bench. Okay, so toss that idea out the window, and set up some dinner parties instead. You need to get back into circulation. Big toothy smiles all round. Everyone has missed your enviable charm. Write some new jokes.VIRGO
August 23 - September 22
It's all-change at the next station. Somehow, for no apparent reason, your dreams and ambitions have been transformed. And since half your head is still in the old gear, confusion is the best you can hope for. Panic is an option. Though pure delight at the thought of a new adventure is an interesting alternative. Give yourself permission to experiment with the new you. It'll be fun.LIBRA
September 23 - October 22
Just for a change, your love life is taking a back seat. Which is odd, because you're looking fabulous and the possibilities of love are plentiful enough to drive you crazy. No matter. The career is hot, and the money abundant. Work with that for the time being. And when you can take a moment off from being an Enormously Big Cheese, seize the day. Love is always standing by - even if you can't see it just yet.SCORPIO
October 23 - November 21
Just as your life is taking off, you pick this moment to have an attack of jealousy. In case you were confused, jealousy is usually reserved for times when everyone else seems to be having a better time than you. You do not start panicking when the money is rolling in, hurdles are being swept away, and everyone loves you. As for that need for revenge - well, the less said the better. Try trust.
SAGITTARIUS
November 22 - December 21
The goddess of romance is sending you vibes - and a new love could quickly become your only love. The only snag is, your head's not in the right place to be receptive. If you can, avoid impulsive decisions. There are some ancient problems to resolve first. Start with the one about you deserving love as much as anyone else. Get help if you're confused. A new business proposition has promise.CAPRICORN
December 22 - January 19
And now for something completely fabulous ... staid old Capricorns are being shaken out of their conservative ruts, and trying something different. For the first time in ages, the planets are conspiring to inject you with vibrant new energy and confidence. This is your moment for: listening to your heart; employing people who wear nose-rings; wearing lime green. Try it first. Then judge. Start each day with an enormous grin.AQUARIUS
January 20 - February 18
Do not - under any circumstances - lend any money this week. Preferably never, but certainly not now. If you have money to share, give it freely and instantly forget about it. The moment you start with the IOU contracts, you're in for a fight. Besides, you're about to start making huge amounts. Best you work out your sharing policies beforehand. There's always someone asking.PISCES
February 19 - March 20
It may not seem that way, but the career is looking fabulous - as long as you've chosen a preferred direction. Dump the projects draining your energy, and move on to the good stuff. A very large arrow will fall out of the sky, directing your next move - so keep watch. At the same time, you'll discover talents you didn't know you had. Watch that tendency to make promises you can't keepARIES
March 21 - April 19
If it's not revealing its magic - business deals in particular - it must be dumped. Hanging on till the last moment in the hope of improvement is a strategy that costs you money, patience and friends. For now, you'll be using every talent just to get people to keep their promises. Start by making sure you are keeping your own. Lower your expectations for a while, so you won't be disappointed. In yourself or them...
