Sagittarius 22 Nov-21 Dec
It's a splendid time for tough decisions (ie the ones you least want to make). Centaurs are at a rare point when the advantages of sticking with the devil you know or of cutting loose for a new path/partner/job are starkly illuminated. The line between realism and optimism is delicate, but give the latter full due.
Capricorn 22 Dec-19 Jan
As you are currently on professional display (or should that be under inspection?), exhibit your prowess with due dignity. It's a fine time for self-promotion, while your fiercer critics seem, for now, to have backed off. The next few weeks are about polishing off what's on your plate before a very different, more expansive phase kicks in at your birthday.
Aquarius 20 Jan-19 Feb
Providing that you aren't running out of control (how was last night?), it's time to swim with the social currents. When Jupiter and Venus are smiling on your efforts, advantage comes from who you know as much as from how hard you work, though if you're the creative type, inspiration looks to be on tap. If you're in the dating game, here's a hot week.
Pisces 20 Feb-20 Mar
The assorted tricky questions being posed by your 'scope really boil down to one: how do you hold on to your individuality and thirst for adventure while staying focused on the career or partner to which/whom you feel beholden? Ultimately it's a big fat compromise - though, with these planets, your appetite for that particular quality looks sorely strained.
Aries 21 Mar-19 Apr
When there are dazzling prizes and desirable people on display, any self-respecting Aries reacts like Lassie to a dog whistle: go get! The good news is that the month of Sagittarius, a fellow fire sign, offers prizes, travel and creativity. Still, with your ruling planet backsliding, getting mindlessly grabby won't work - only due decorum (and legality).
Taurus 20 Apr-20 May
Keep the pressure on, in steady Taurean style, and success will surely follow - at least where work and property are concerned. This week, Saturn offers a progress report on the past three months, and checks that you are acting out of conviction rather than blind hope. The reality check is also financial - if you're broke, find someone who isn't!
Gemini 21 May- 20 Jun
This weekend's full Moon favours you hogging the limelight and clarifying your emotions and intentions. That said, bear in mind that your feelings are only half the story when handling crushes and partners - the next month requires you to give more than you get back. Drat.
Cancer 21 Jun-22 Jul
Wring all the juice from projects under way rather than getting distracted by new plans. There's more to come from the bright ideas you have been juggling in recent months. If you're in a relationship jam, slowly is the way to extricate yourself.
Leo 23 Jul-22 Aug
Plan for world domination or modest professional mission, massive crush or passing fancy - whatever schemes you are nursing, now is the time to make them a reality. Your heart's desires are in the spotlight. Any catches? Only money (sigh), but when did that ever stop you?
Virgo 23 Aug-22 Sep
It's time for a check on professional and material progress since your birthday. This week's Sun-Saturn link promises to mark your card one way or another, so let's hope that you have been diligent. Then there is the question of partners (and exes), where the harder you try to pin them down, the less they listen. Typical.
Libra 23 Sep-23 Oct
Good and bad qualities alike are magnified when your planet, Venus, is on home turf: charm and diplomacy, then, not superficial posturing; helping others, not self-indulgence. Shopping with instinctive good taste, not with indecision. Professionally, the retro phase of Mars asks you to finish what you started before any sudden enthusiasms whisk you elsewhere.
Scorpio 24 Oct-21 Nov
Flexibility isn't exactly Scorpio's strength - strong-willed is more your thing - but when others change course, you may not have much option but to follow suit, especially where travel is involved. With Mercury the organiser completing its course through your skies, here's a week to practise being a Virgo - swift, pragmatic and, in the nicest possible way, bossy.
