TAURUSApril 20 - May 20
The planets are huddling into your sign, starting the week with a Taurus new moon on Tuesday. Visualise your future self as you'd like it, and pull the image towards you. You can manifest anything you want now. Since money is probably high on your list, look up. You'll see dollar bills fluttering down from the sky and landing on your head. Don't laugh. You're this week's magician. Make some magic. Don't be shy. 
GEMINIMay 21 - June 20
You've branched out into the fast lane, leaving your competitors spluttering in your wake. Only snag is potential backers and clients have been left along with them. Slow down. Few people are as far-sighted as you. Look to your friends for support. There are some who value and understand your contribution.
CANCERJune 21 - July 22
Tuesday's reliable New Moon lifts your confidence, helping you attract wonderful relationships and offers. Even so, these goodies don't come with a licence for cockiness. The trick lies in learning from each experience. People will look to you for advice and help. Consider their requests carefully, but be sure not to use their vulnerability to your advantage. Remember, what you give out is what you get back. Give out the good stuff.
LEOJuly 23 - August 22
Emotions are all over the place and a silent weep comes as easily as a rant. This is about your determination to have an argument - even if it means that you have to create one by yourself. Careful. The signals you're sending are wild and the recipients are confused. Try some alone time to sort your head out. But don't expect that to happen at once. You have to change with the planet.
VIRGOAugust 23 - September 22
Make up your mind. Is it an ego stroke you're after - or some inner peace? The problem is, no one's listening to anyone else. Have you thought about the repercussions of always getting your own way? Watch yourself. Too much drama is about making a point - and too little is about mutual happiness.
LIBRASeptember 23 - October 22
If there are problems at work, it's probably because the circumstances are changing - really quickly - and everyone is feeling insecure. Don't join that band. You'll come up against stubborn refusals, angry outbursts and wild threats. Distance yourself until everyone's calmed down. It's not up to you to fix the problems. But neither is it a good idea to join the fray. Besides, the end results will bring a large smile to your face.
SCORPIOOctober 23 - November 21
Being who you are, your first reaction to proposals that involve change is to say you'll think about it later. But sometimes there is no later. So this time, how about a new approach: act first, think second. If you procrastinate, you may find the train has already left the station. This is your moment to trust your instincts. They're in there somewhere - buried in a cosy corner. Call them out to play. And smile.
SAGITTARIUSNovember 22 - December 21
More money always sounds good - but not so much when it comes with extra responsibility and longer hours. Make up your mind - quickly. If you want to duck out, start packing. Otherwise, resign yourself to growing up - at least a bit - and taking a new direction.
CAPRICORNDecember 22 - January 19
Amazingly, you really don't have to be in the midst of a crisis to be having a good time. In fact, if you're willing to expand your repertoire, you might encounter opportunities you've only ever dreamed of. And yes, this could mean breaking with a few old habits. But what have you got to lose? Tuesday's earthy New Moon offers practical solutions - if you're paying attention. If not, Wednesday's huge planetary shifts will calm you right down.
AQUARIUSJanuary 20 - February 18
Convinced you're being punished? Not true. Think of this as a cosmic test - a time to find your limits and develop your strength. By Wednesday, the pressure lets up, bringing career goodies instead. Don't rush though. The trick is to find your boundaries, and then slowly extend them. And if your loves are driving your crazy, think dramatic steps. And take some - in your own time.
PISCESFebruary 19 - March 20
Changes at work could be just what you need. What's changing is either the place or the people - not necessarily the work. In fact, you may even have decided to start working from home. Still, there's no rush. So make sure you've examined all your options. No room for laziness this time.
ARIESMarch 21 - April 19
So what are you really so upset about? Generally, people only get unhappy in relationships when they've lacked the courage to stand their ground - and are feeling manipulated. At which point, they rush into a gigantic blaming session, and dump the problem in someone else's lap. So you could do that. Or you could take your power back and be a grown-up. The question to ask yourself is, do you want the relationship - or the fight?..
