AQUARIUS
20 January – 18 February
Your heart has gone into one of those "I don't care what anyone thinks as long as they leave me alone" moods. While you're feeling so cocky, you might think about changing your job. Or even your career. Your love life is in for some drama if you don't take notice. Not yet, but soon. So, while you're gazing adoringly at your own reflection, think about what you really want.
PISCES
19 February – 20 March
You're emotional at the best of times, so when the moon is eclipsed on January 21, you're likely to tip over the edge. Emotions are part of the creative process, so how about starting that book? Or violin class? Or learning how to tango? As long as you're willing to change, your destiny will come and find you. And if you're feeling alone, that's because you have to follow this path by yourself.
ARIES
21 March – 19 April
Some unexpected movement could leave you wondering whether you're able to keep up. The point is your talents are being tested as you're offered the chances you've secretly longed for. As with most challenges, fear can threaten success. But remember, the fears are always greater than the reality. Tell yourself you deserve the best until you believe it. Think about the career you'd like. Invite it in.
TAURUS
20 April – 20 May
The lunar eclipse on January 21 will push you towards your highest potential. Sounds good. Feels terrible. Think of this as another test on your way to happy land. The trick is in your approach. If you can dump the expectations and accept each moment as an adventure, you'll sail through. Smile to disarm the family - they may not be as happy about changes as you're planning to be.
GEMINI
21 May – 20 June
The pressure is on and you're asking yourself whether you're willing to give up your life for a fabulous career. The answer to that is, for the next few weeks, maybe you should. But no longer than that. The trick to a successful life is to find balance in every area. At least alternate the areas of focus. Work now, play later. Make sure you love your work enough for it to feel like play.
CANCER
21 June – 22 July
You're on a roll, so make the most of it. Brilliant ideas for making money come easily, but don't ignore them. Just remind yourself that not everything has to be slogged over. Do make sure the figures are correct. For once, detail is very important - and your attentions are easily distracted this week. Watch your personal madness quotient too. A lunar eclipse has turned your fragile heart into a pretzel.
LEO
23 July – 22 August
Any new job offers on the horizon? Be careful before dashing off to seemingly greener pastures. Still, with the eclipse on January 21 offering change, this could be the perfect time to review the way you make your money. Are you happy in your work? Does it fulfil you? Is there something more constructive you could be doing with your talents? Take your time. This is important.
VIRGO
23 August – 22 September
As you well know, you're hopeless at power games. So why are you doing this to yourself yet again? You'll only end up feeling grubby and ineffectual, not to mention more neurotic than you've been in ages. So admit defeat and move on. You're not really as interested in winning as you pretend to be. Besides, you have other fish to fry. Your love life needs attention.
LIBRA
23 September – 22 October
Get ready to negotiate and some great new deals could work to your advantage. And while you're at it, go and have some fun. There are some interesting people to be met on the social circuit; people who could help you through a sticky patch. You, meanwhile, could spend a moment on that emotional sludge. And clear it. Remember, emotions can be changed with a thought. It's much easier than it looks.
SCORPIO
23 October – 21 November
It's time to draw on your natural charm, creativity and enthusiasm. You'll need to know who your friends are as deception creeps into areas of your life. Try not to judge too harshly. In most cases, apparent betrayal is simply a case of mutual misunderstanding. Be careful not to idealise your favourites or disappointment will result. But there's no real need for paranoia either.
SAGITTARIUS
22 November – 21 December
Your transformations are spiritual, emotional and deeply buried, so much so that you probably won't notice anything has happened until long after people have stopped staring at you in amazement. Work on your all your relationships as the threads are starting to fray. Since the eclipse on January 21 is demanding change, you might decide for yourself what needs improvement.
CAPRICORN
22 December – 19 January
Despite the drama that comes with a lunar eclipse (combined with an internal rethink) this is a fairly prosperous week. Lovers and partners might not think so, but you'll be okay if you keep your head. Eclipses insist on change, so the minute you start trying to run the show, you'll discover you're no longer in charge. Nice to take a break from decision- making, and great to discover you can trust someone besides yourself...
