Never mind the obstacles. We'll fight like demons to reach our goals. The planets have rearranged themselves, giving us hope and a willingness to dream. Opportunities increase and our spirits are calm. We have the magician's wand in our hands. There's nothing we can't handle.

ARIES

March 21 - April 19

LIFE

You've done the work and mastered the techniques. Now's your chance to put the whole lot into practice. And sure, discipline is required, but the rewards are huge and, even for someone as rebellious as you, definitely worth waiting for. In short? Be good and the world will be good to you.

LOVE

An old friend becomes a new love - with no moves needed before January 17. By April, you'll be in a different place, and ready to make fabulous new choices. Don't let guilt hold you back. Every relationship has a sell-by date. Some are just later than others.

MONEY

You've finally figured out how to make money work for you, instead of the other way around. Your career's on an upward blast and status, recognition, even 15 minutes of fame are a guaranteed must. Connect with old buddies. You never know who'll come along to help you up.

TAURUS

April 20 - May 20

LIFE

You can't live up to your beliefs if you don't know what they are. And now you need to know how you feel about financial security and personal safety - your two favourites. Remember, you attract your reality with your thoughts. Keep a record as you change your own life.

LOVE

You're leaving the past behind you - at last - and opening yourself up to fabulous new prospects. Best romantic times? January, February, June and December. The eclipse on November 19 brings a chance for commitment - if you're keen. If you're already there, get romantic. It's been far too long since you whipped out the champers.

MONEY

Don't get too comfortable. The planet of sudden change is with you for another six years, by which time transformation will be your new middle name. Meanwhile, experiment. Master new skills, try different careers, explore your other side(s). Money pursues the adventurous.

GEMINI

May 21 - June 20

LIFE

This is going to be one of those years. The universe wants you fabulous, so all the scraggly bits are being shaved along the way. The planets are calling you to higher education - which means learning a new skill, writing that book, travelling when you can. Mostly, though, you're making better choices.
And you're a new you.

LOVE

Did someone say "sex"? To be precise, "sexually active" is the term for your year. Suddenly you're a babe magnet, with the only difficulty lying in when to say "no". Think about what you really want and speak out. Eclipses in May, June and December make the decisions for you - if you don't do it first yourself.

MONEY

Tired of the same old grindstone? You're looking for work with a deeper meaning. There's a solar eclipse in June in your sign - pushing you to make the changes you need. Until then, put that money where it'll do the most good. If you don't know how, learn. Money management is about to become your thing.

CANCER

June 21 - July 22

LIFE

There's depth here of the kind you're afraid to pursue. It's an exploration year for you - when the rules disappear and you charge through the looking glass without a backward glance. Think of it as a dream if you like. But if you close your eyes, you'll miss the best part: the moment when you stand up and take charge of your life. At last.

LOVE

You're changing your mind about a lot of things now and love is the most important of them. What is friendship? What is the point of marriage? What does love mean? You're sampling assorted delicacies until you find your answers. No hurry; the best parts happen when you're looking the other way.

MONEY

Controlling your finances instead of letting them control you is a trick worth mastering. Contracts and negotiations are your focus this year. Make time to read the fine print and don't be afraid to ask for advice. Either way, money is healthier and career takes an upward slant. You're learning fast and spreading the wisdom.

LEO

July 23 - August 22

LIFE

Your planets are all about connections and collaborations. The heaviest planets - forcing you to grow up - have done their worst. Now you get to have some fun. You're more courageous than ever, so new adventures are greeted with enthusiasm. Enjoy.

LOVE

It's your year for romance. Are you taking a leap and moving in with someone delicious? Or listening to your heart and making love your priority? No need to rush. Let your relationships be what they are as you sort out the good stuff. There'll be plenty to choose from.

MONEY

There are dream jobs out there, and they're waiting for you. Of course, nothing is ever handed on a plate, so discipline and hard work (ho hum) are needed first. But that's okay. You don't mind effort as long as it's going somewhere. One more thing: no more borrowing. It's never a good idea.

VIRGO

August 23 - September 22

LIFE

Great things are happening in your career, provided you share plans with anyone who can help. The planets want you fearless and powerful. By May, your attention will have turned to romance, and you'll be battling to focus. Try for balance, and get help with the childhood drama. Time to let it go.

LOVE

Body image has always been a stumbling block in your love life. Enough. Remind yourself every day how stunning you are - until you become what you feel. Relationships are unstable now, but that's only because you're not sure you want to give up your freedom. So don't. Take your time.

MONEY

That endless routine has gone and you're expecting the unexpected. You're even adjusting to uncertainty and learning to like it. Pay close attention during the transformational solar eclipse in June, and your career will veer off in a completely different direction. You're about to find your true calling.

LIBRA

September 23 - October 22

LIFE

It's been a rough couple of years. But since you insist on being so stubborn, it invariably takes a sledgehammer to help you see the light. Still, the major cosmic work has been done and you're ready for the good stuff. Say "thank you" every day. And open up those barriers to success. They're all in your head.

LOVE

Head-spinning is your word for love. Not to mention "volatile". One minute you're convinced you've found your soulmate, and the next you're attacking each other with frying pans. Even so, if you're thinking marriage, make it after September. This year turns love into a new adventure, one in which you're willing to accept everyone exactly as they are. Yourself included.

MONEY

You're this year's genius pick. You have all the instincts and creative brilliance of an expert - and you're brimming with fantastic ideas. You're even (occasionally) able to focus on the practical stuff. You're becoming what's known as an influencer. Now start demanding what you're worth.

Scorpio.

SCORPIO

October 23 - November 21

LIFE

There's a powerful cosmic determination to get you out there socialising. Pay closer attention to your health if you're hoping to keep up. Inevitably you'll lose the plot during February, June and October, but that's because the planets are messing with your sanity. Relax when you can. Write down your thoughts. There could be a book in your head.

LOVE

If you're looking for love, you'll find it - especially after February. Relationships will be relaxed and delicious, and there may be more than one. Decide how much you can handle. If you're already involved, behave - if you can.

MONEY

Fantastic opportunities to start something new and make extra money arrive between January and March and after July. You'll do your best work alone now, so find a space where you won't be disturbed. There'll be choices to make. Pick something that makes you happy. Abundance always increases with enthusiasm, so let yourself have a good time.

SAGITTARIUS

November 22 - December 21

LIFE

You're getting to know yourself as the planets push you towards meaningful realisations about the parts you'd like to change. Ignore the miscommunications, and appreciate your people for who they are. You're finally finding ways to balance your love of freedom with your need to connect.

LOVE

Letting go of ancient pains is difficult, but you'll have fabulous opportunities to meet different types of people once your heart is clear. The eclipses in May, June and December give you three chances to jump into a new relationship. Or a new phase in the current one. When you're ready.

MONEY

There are some fascinating changes happening - and they're all for you. Money is of vital interest, as you discover the huge responsibility that goes with having more than you can spend (strange but true). You're learning about investments, long-term planning and image making. And for once, you feel truly in charge of your life. Excellent.

CAPRICORN

December 22 - January 20

LIFE

You're changing not just your personal style, but the way you communicate your needs. Venus goes retrograde in December, insisting on firmer boundaries and real commitments. You'll need to find space between work and home to squeeze in a social life. July to September are your best months.

LOVE

The doors to love are wide open as the planets help you figure out what it means to have emotional stability. Obviously, then love is transformed, as is your understanding of commitment. You find new ways to express your feelings and new ways to trust. Marriage is even possible, especially between June and August.

MONEY

Someone seems determined to stop you borrowing money, which is fine. You'll just make more of your own. Don't get involved with partners either. If you already have them, make decisions about the next steps between June 20 and July 4. More important is that this is your year. You'll have new ambitions and you'll fulfil them. Excellent.

Aquarius.

AQUARIUS

20 January - 18 February

LIFE

Over half the geniuses in the world have Aquarian energy. Then again, they're also the most impractical people you'll ever find. This year is about growing up and learning to handle tedious details. But it's also about adventures, travel, new friends and fascinating discoveries.

LOVE

Go to all of those professional events, even the cocktail parties. You'll meet someone fabulous enough to make up for the hours wasted in mindless small talk. Marriage is good
in August and September, but no rush either way. Learn how to give and take. It's an art.

MONEY

May and November are your lucky months, during which you'll buy an apartment or a piece of land. Money has its ups and downs, so figure out how to invest what you have. Career dramas between May and October teach you about diplomacy. Sometimes it's a good idea to be polite to the bosses. Nothing to lose with a smile.

Pisces.

PISCES

19 February - 20 March

LIFE

Why be around people who are jealous of you? Between March and May you're restructuring your friendships and gravitating towards the kind of people who want the best for you. How does it feel? Like you're worth more?

LOVE

Excellent. The planets are hanging around your soulmate energies, urging you to find what you're looking for. First, you have to create a few boundaries so that you can discriminate between the loons and the others: you have a way of attracting both. This year wants you passionate and married by June, or at least thinking about it. Open some doors.

MONEY

Finally, the morons have moved on and you're left with your own creative genius and a new understanding of investment. This is your year to make the most of what you have and create even more. Between April and July you'll work like a slave and make a fortune. After that, you get to correct your mistakes and move on with your brilliant ideas.
