ARIES
21 March – 19 April
If anyone's insinuating that you're behaving like a prima donna, stride off with your nose in the air. Because, obviously, a more appropriate selection of adjectives would include: entertaining, fascinating, diverting ... and, yes, perhaps the tiniest bit self-absorbed. But never mind that. Enjoy yourself - and others will enjoy you. Or not, as the case may be. Love improves soon. Meanwhile, you get to focus on yourself. Excellent.
TAURUS
20 April – 20 May
Relationships will be fraught with tension and emotional turmoil for a while. You're asking yourself a million questions: should I change my life, my job, my friends? It's very emotional. Try for one issue at a time. Don't feel pressured into making any decisions until much later. Meanwhile, expect good news before Thursday.
GEMINI
21 May – 20 June
If you haven't broken someone's nose yet, congratulate yourself. And then leave the room while you still can. Admit it, your temper is not what it might be just now. Also, frogs in the bed are simply not that funny anymore. Go find your own idiot friends to play with and leave the grown-ups alone. Just till you've calmed down. Or, of course, you could use this energy to create something unique. Just a thought.
CANCER
21 June – 22 July
Money is coming in but only through hard slog and long hours. If it's promotion you're after, be patient. Spend the time getting your facts straight and ideas clear. Don't waste a moment being anxious or insecure. Use this time to find out what you really want to do. And spend some moments with the people who care. They'll help move you in the right direction.
LEO
23 July – 22 August
How about one of your memorable sonnets? Or you might hire a jet and scribble your feelings in the sky. Or you could get a grip and ask yourself what this is really all about. Yes, your hormones are pumping and the adrenalin is high, but try to remember that there's a person at the other end of your game. Not a toy. Creative energy like this is meant to used. Create something.
VIRGO
23 August – 22 September
Do you or don't you? That is the question. Do you take the chance of huge success and wealth, knowing that what comes with it might be more than you can handle? Or do you sit on your complacent behind and ignore that pounding on the door? Tough choice. Just remember, the greatest sin is non-participation in your life. And regret is a very boring emotion. Besides, you're a lot more courageous than you realise.
LIBRA
23 September – 22 October
If there's one thing a Libran hates, it's feeling exposed. So here's what you do. Put aside those surface solutions you've been hiding behind and move in for some genuine excavation. Or, you could stand aside while this week's planets laser their way into your heart. Either way, the real you is being asked to stand up. At last. And you'll finally discover what love is about.
SCORPIO
23 October – 21 November
Much as you loathe the idea, this is the week to take a back seat, leaving the others to stick their heads above the clouds. Obviously you can get back out there any time you like. Meanwhile, how about a second look at the finances. They're about to dramatically improve, as long as you're paying attention. So that's it. Money now. Ego later. And love somewhere in between.
SAGITTARIUS
22 November – 21 December
This is not like you at all. What on earth is going on? Make contact. You've been reclusive for too long. Your people will start to think you don't care if you leave it any longer. Besides, the muse is with you now and your creative powers are at their peak. There are energies about that could literally make your dreams come true. There's a chance for local travel too. Take a camera and notebook.
CAPRICORN
22 December – 19 January
Everything's going so well for you, you almost feel as though you could fly. Although it's not advisable to try it, the feeling of lightness is real. You're making great personal progress; your self-esteem has never been better. At work, look out for promotions or pay rises. Not to mention the odd unexpected offer from outside. Don't sabotage the good stuff with boring fears and doubts. Tell yourself you deserve the best.
AQUARIUS
20 January – 18 February
Convinced you're being used as the butt of someone else's ambitions? Careful. Examine the evidence again and ask yourself whether you misunderstood a delicate situation. So no, there is no-one conspiring against you. And yes, everyone still thinks you're fabulous. Okay? Better now? Back to a love life which could use some attention. Start expecting the best.
PISCES
19 February – 20 March
You're convinced someone is trying to trip you up. Maybe someone wants you to look like an idiot. Okay, hold the paranoia. The planets have simply been stalling your progress, allowing you to finish off all that other stuff you've decided to ignore. Do what you must and get back on your fast-moving train. Excellent financial news is already on the way...
