What do the stars hold in store for you?

CANCER
June 21 - July 22
Your career is being dragged off down a path of its own. And it's taking no prisoners. You're in or you're not. With the planets as they are you'll have to trust instincts you didn't know you had. Try not to make long-term decisions till the end of August. But if fascinating deals come up, take a chance. You're testing your boundaries. And amazingly, the family is going along for the ride. Bask in the glow of their trust.
LEO
July 23 - August 22
Whoa! Suddenly you're being driven bananas by the kind of sexual energy that almost seems out of control. Take care though. Without overt consideration and a few explicit conversations, there'll definitely be drama in your love life. No point rushing off elsewhere either. Anything new will be short-lived - though wildly physical. Enjoy it all. But don't go picking out curtains.
VIRGO
August 23 - September 22
Your normally precise, discriminating, fabulous mind is letting you down. But if you can concentrate on anything, concentrate on this: do NOT, under any circumstances, resign from your job, call the divorce lawyers or start packing for Perth. In fact, not until September, should you be permitted to make decisions of any kind. And for the rest, just try to be nice. Try.
LIBRA
September 23 - October 22
Money's going really well - considering how much you like to spend. Send a bit to a needy cause. It'll help you retain some humility - something you're short of right now. Even so, you're at your most persuasive, so any new plans can be presented fairly soon. Meanwhile, if you're involved in one of your secret love affairs, take care not to leave a trail. You'll be caught this time. The planets are spying on your every move.
SCORPIO
October 23 - November 21
Being talented has its ups and downs. This week the downs are showing themselves, leaving you with a jealousy factor to cope with. The problem, of course, is that having paid your dues, you're starting to succeed. And there are those who would like to undermine your progress. Endless doses of grace, compassion and enormous generosity will ease you through unscathed.
SAGITTARIUS
November 22 - December 21
That peculiar sensation that life is moving in slow motion is enough to unnerve the most self-contained Sagittarian. Focus on something workable - your love life. Because though relationships are being tested now, you'll at least know what you're dealing with. And for the rest, the energies are literally encouraging frustration. Think of it as a test of your patience.
CAPRICORN
December 22 - January 19
Too much happening at once? Avoid the temptation to order everyone around - even if you are always right - and calm down. A few interesting ways of making money will present themselves if you keep an open mind. But it's probably best to avoid important decisions until you're a smidgen more rational. Meanwhile, make a commitment to taking yourself far less seriously. Life was supposed to be fun.
AQUARIUS
January 20 - February 18
Pointless arguments about issues you have no interest in offer one option for your week. Don't laugh. You've forgotten how quickly you lash out when your buttons are pushed. This time, instead of planning witty-yet-cutting remarks, count your money. The numbers should be increasing. If not yet, use those rapidly developing creative instincts to make something happen.
PISCES
February 19 - March 20
Dashing from one drama to the next is always a splendid way to avoid dealing with your life. So stop a minute. Actually, you won't have much choice. The planets are putting spokes in wheels, demanding a review of relationships, group activities, money plans and spare-time occupation. Are you heading in the right direction? Or is a turnaround on the cards?
ARIES
March 21 - April 19
When people say 'it's the principle of the thing', what they actually mean is that their pride has been wounded. And pride is actually a very boring thing, seldom making its owner any happier. So lose the drama and accept the help. After all, who told you it was more impressive to cope alone and hide your feelings? Not that there's all that much to help with. It's just that the energies have slowed. Nothing too terrible.
TAURUS
April 20 - May 20
Sulks, pouts and the occasional tantrum are on the menu for your week. And the most likely victims are the ones you love best. If you can, direct your energy into your work instead. Attention to detail - and to the more tedious aspects of life - is what's needed here. And for those frustrating moments, visit one of those restaurants that lets you break plates.
GEMINI
May 21 - June 20
No need to fret about that apparent lack of ambition and drive. Not to mention energy and enthusiasm. It's not strictly your fault - and for the time being, you're allowed to sloth about feeling sorry for yourself. Not for long though. As you know, negative behaviour only too rapidly becomes a negative habit. So think of this as a time to regenerate and transform, not sink into the abyss...
