What do the stars hold in store for you?

TAURUS20 April – 20 May
This is your month - with so much happening you can barely keep up. Best option would be to set all your plans in motion this week. That way you'll be ready to seize the reins just as the seats become vacant. And it's true, your workload has increased more than anticipated. But that's just because the big picture is too big to see. Stick with the details until you're sure. And stay healthy.
GEMINI21 May – 20 June
It's not that you don't have a fully functional mind. It's just that you're terrified of wearing it out. Best plan, you've decided, is to get someone else to make all the decisions - leaving you to complain vigorously about any resulting drama. Enough of that. You've got the power to forge a path. Now all you need is the courage. And luckily, there are buckets of that on offer all week. In short, you're feeling good. Seize the day.
CANCER21 June – 22 July
Anything that steals your energy must go. Which includes bad habits, abusive friends and boring jobs. Make a list, and start throwing out what you no longer need. Be ruthless. Negative energy damages your health. Your sensitive little heart, meanwhile, is in a happier place than it's been in ages. Let yourself feel something real. Let vulnerability in. You might even like it.
LEO23 July – 22 AugustWell, aren't you adorable? And right now you don't even have to try. Love is hunting you down. And you're running for your life. Better check your motives. Instead, try focusing on the finances. This is a great month for investments, as a fascinating opportunity comes rushing in on Wednesday. Clarify the details (in writing) and you'll be dancing all the way to the bank.VIRGO23 August – 22 SeptemberYour need to share is taking on absurd proportions. Has it occurred to you that your determination to rescue everyone else is largely about your fear of rescuing yourself? In which case, the good news is that tomorrow brings added courage to your relationships. Especially the one with yourself. By next month, you'll be adding extra money and occasional recognition to your repertoire of delights.LIBRA23 September – 22 OctoberLetting go of something you're used to always brings sadness. Relief too. And confusion. Let it all wash over you as you plan your next move. By now, you'll have a better idea which way your wind is blowing - and you can decide whether to blow with it. After Saturday, pack. It doesn't really matter what you change into, as long as you're willing to change.SCORPIO23 October – 21 NovemberStress and good health seldom go together, so dump the drama - soon if you're hoping to stay in shape. Your body has suddenly lost its sense of humour. At work, meanwhile, something you thought was unfair is finally sorting itself out. So if you have contracts to sign, do it now. With your reputation and status improving daily, the opportunities are rolling in.SAGITTARIUS22 November – 21 DecemberThere's power and expansion in that breast - bringing courage and energy enough to send you bungee jumping off the Eiffel Tower. Bear in mind, though, that you could use this energy for more useful ventures. There's just one proviso. Left to themselves, the planets will expand your thighs with all the vigour of a hippo in search of more grass. So quick, before the energies take charge, make a list of plans. And tackle them.CAPRICORN22 December – 19 JanuaryWondering whether you've lost your marbles? Have you forgotten why you're reading this page - or where you've put your specs - or maybe even how old you are? Fear not. You've shunted temporarily into right-brain mode - and it's scaring the bejesus out of you. Try exploring your creative side. Trust your instincts. You might as well. You can't trust your brain. For now.AQUARIUS20 January – 18 FebruaryThe planets are messing with you. The trick here is to minimise the definite plans, and maximise the work on yourself. Believe it or not, this level of drama can be fun. That is, assuming you manage to hang on to your health through the bumps. Try yoga for that. Or a few deep and lasting breaths. You're an air sign, don't forget. You need air. And, of course, love. Which is on its way.PISCES19 February – 20 MarchWhat's this? The romantic haze is fading, leaving you with a new appreciation of your own company. No more are you willing to sacrifice your dreams just so you can have someone in your life. From now on, there are new rules. Anyone who wants you had better make some contributions. Besides, your career is throwing new options at you every day. Enjoy the feeling of running your own life for once. Take your time.ARIES21 March – 19 AprilWhat does it mean to become a better person? All this effort is about impressing someone else rather than transforming yourself. And sure, go ahead - squeeze yourself into someone else's fantasy if you must. But don't expect the resulting miracle to last any longer than a week. After which it's back to fixing finances, expanding your career, and following those fabulous instincts...
