This week’s guide to your personal and professional affairs by John Nash

Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 19)

A misalignment between your ruler Mars and seductive Neptune should remind you to keep your guard up this week. Lost in a world of your own, you’re apt to look at things through a rosy haze and feel extra warm and generous — a soft touch for anyone trying to take advantage. There’s a good deal to be said for being free and easy as long as you’ve got your head screwed on and your vision is not impaired. It’s nice to indulge and spoil others sometimes, but don’t go too far in bending over backwards.

Taurus (Apr 20- May 20)

The square between Venus and Neptune suggests a clash between duty and desire. There are things you know you ought to be getting on with, but you can’t summon up the energy or the will. Don’t despair! If you attempt to tackle the least of the tasks that can’t be avoided, you might gather some momentum to see you through the others. Try to imagine how good you’ll feel by the end of the week with an empty job sheet. Procrastination is the thief of time and time is precious.

Gemini (May 21 - Jun 20)

Today’s Moon in your own sign could see your shortcomings magnified. Your greatest weaknesses are a restless impatience combined with an inability to decide which way to jump. It’s because you’re in so much of a hurry that everyone seems to be particularly difficult, dense or determined to get in your way. Slow down! Road rage won’t result in the tailback getting any shorter and it would make sense to consult a map before you set out to find the quickest, less congested route.

Cancer (Jun 21 - Jul 22)

With the Moon in sociable Gemini, the Crab has to be prepared for surprises and unexpected developments. As a creature that’s most comfortable with regularity and routine, you’re bound to find this unsettling at first. However, there’s no reason to get alarmed. It’s people who are going to astonish you with unexpectedly generous gestures and invitations. A modest, retiring sort, you’re not used to being courted and complimented in this way, but don’t scuttle off before you’ve seen what’s on offer.

Leo (Jul 23 - Aug 22)

As the Sun settles into ambitious and lucky Sagittarius, you can afford to set your sights higher. Opportunities to make gains and add to your worldly goods are well starred, but expect some envy and criticism as a result. People who know you intimately know you to be big-hearted and generous, so you should ignore any accusation of being mean and materialistic. You know that you’ve partly earned it by the tireless exercise of brain and brawn. You don’t have to apologise for being on a lucky streak.

Virgo (Aug 23 - Sept 22)

Endless red tape is bound to annoy and frustrate this week. You’ll be fed up to the back teeth with form-filling and having to acquire papers, passes and permits. It’s a necessary evil if you want to obtain the authorisation you require. Be prepared to stand in line and wait your turn as any attempt to jump the queue will only delay processing. Cosmic activity in that area of your chart that has to do with conformity means that, for you, going through official channels is the only way forward.

Libra (Sept 23 - Oct 22)
