CAPRICORN
December 22 - January 20
You're at your independent best and insistent on getting your own way. Which means you probably will. Still, there's no need to alienate everyone in the room. Your friends know you by now, so no one is taking your madness personally. But if you'd like a little love in your life, you may have to back off a bit. Compromise.
AQUARIUS
January 20 - February 18
Get off the internet and try communicating with a human. Your love planet is hovering, and you'll need to practise those fabulous charms if you're hoping for some passion. There's no better time. Just because your thoughts about love are crazy doesn't mean you can't have bits of the fantasy now and then.
PISCES
February 19 - March 20
Even though you're taking a break, your career is soldiering on without you. Keep your ear to the beach sand. Something interesting is waiting to burst into your new year. Think about what you'd love to be doing. But you may have to sacrifice some of those insane fantasies first. The love life is promising. Met someone delicious? If not, you're about to.
ARIES
March 21 - April 19
There's travel on the cards. It might even be work related. There are always those who'd rather work over the festive season than pretend to be a normal person. Go ahead, seize the day. There are escape routes if you want. But the best way to deal with mad passions is the old way; let yourself fall in love. Interesting souls are about to cross your path.
TAURUS
April 20 - May 20
Here's a hard one. You may have to say "no" more than once. Which means guilt trips all round. Don't you dare give your power away to other people's demands. Extra sleep and good food will get you ready for the role of decision maker. And in your three spare moments, how about a second look at a love life that's crying out for some fun. Plan mindless entertainment for anyone who's stuck around long enough to keep you amused. And pour yourself a bucket of something wicked. Excellent.
GEMINI
May 21 - June 20
You can see clearly now the cosmic madness has stopped. Not that your personal insanity has done anything but carry on as usual. So with the festive season upon us, you're in the perfect mood to entertain your friends and disgust the neighbours. Still, you'll have to pay attention to the amounts of liquid you put in your mouth. Your health is delicate and you need more sleep than usual. Ask the lovers to help. There'll definitely be more than one of those.
CANCER
June 21 - July 22
Has no one mentioned that this is the month normal people take breaks? No? Okay. In that case, there's money available for those of you happy to carry on working. You're exuding love now - and everyone wants to be around you. So let them. And charge them for the privilege. Someone might even want to set up a partnership. New loves and friends are out there, just waiting to play with you. There are even a few passionate nights on the cards - if you're keen. You're healthy, happy and busy. Smile. This is what life is about
LEO
July 23 - August 22
There's no need to lecture you on the importance of having a good time. In fact, you're the one who teaches the rest of us. And since you're sending out such happy vibes, you're attracting even better ones in return. This is a delicious week for you. Money is arriving from unexpected places. There's love and lust everywhere, which should please you immensely. There's a small danger of overspending, but nothing new there. And your health is superb. That's all you need.
VIRGO
August 23 - September 22
It may not seem like the right time, but emotional breakthroughs are your current thing. Obviously, you'll still have to do your polite, charming Christmas vibe, but in your heart there'll be turmoil. Not for long. This is where you toughen up, make a list of issues and desires, and work through them. This is where your inner master spreads its wings - and shows you who you really are. And if you need some help, there'll be enough money for a therapist - once they're all back from the beach.
LIBRA
September 23 - October 22
Making a few decisions at last? Let that be your Christmas present to yourself - trusting yourself enough to make one definite decision a day - and sticking to it. The most important discovery here is that any decision is better than no decision. Once the energy is on the move, you can make magic. And you know how good you are at magic. The love life is looking hot as invitations line the walls. Say "yes" to everything.
SCORPIO
October 23 - November 21
It's a delicious week for you. Your wishes are coming true. People are throwing money at you, and your professional reputation is growing. Which means you can start treating everyone kindly. You know how to do that. Charm comes as naturally to you as mind games. And since love is on this week's agenda, the planets are hoping for more of the charm than the games. So know this: if you're playing games, you'll win - but you'll be alone. So how about a little trust for once?
SAGITTARIUS
November 22 - December 21 Wrapping up your exit sarmies and ducking out of the house? Calm yourself. There's no rush. Wherever you are, adventure follows. You don't have to be hanging by your fingernails to have a good time. Besides, you've been learning a little something - about healing yourself; healing others; helping people deal with emotional agony. You're a teacher. And a healer. Don't hog all those fabulous gifts. Share them. It's a good week...
