Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 19)

In an area where you’re in control and know what you’re doing, you can be as bold and up-front as you dare. However, don’t take this as the green light to venture into territory where angels fear to tread. You’re not fireproof! Equally you’re only asking for trouble if you try to bluff your way out of a situation - where it’s clear you’re out of your depth. Who is, after all a jack-of-all-trades and master of all? Rather than screw up, it’s best to admit your lack of expertise and experience in certain fields and leave things to the professionals.

Taurus (Apr 20- May 20)

Although a promising Venus-Jupiter conjunction fills you to bursting with bright ideas and bubbly bonhomie this week, try to keep your good spirits in check for the moment. Because your normal style is ponderous and dignified and you seldom exhibit such excitement, your more conservative friends and colleagues are likely to dismiss any display of excitement as a sanity lapse. No one is prepared to listen to you just yet because you’re getting ahead of yourself and misjudging the demand and the need for the plans you propose.

Gemini (May 21 - Jun 20)

The Cosmos is a tumult of activity this week and the Gemini might feel pulled in different directions. Unable to decide which way to go, you might follow the strongest, loudest voice. However, it will pay to heed the small things and the largely unspoken claims on your attention. Relationships are like machines whose efficiency depends on the regular inspection and servicing of every part, however insignificant. Examine your conscience. Isn’t it telling you that there are some areas in your personal life in need of repair or refurbishment? You need to act now or face high replacement costs later. A loose joint or missing link could wreck everything.

Cancer (Jun 21 - Jul 22)

Impulses to be spontaneous, friendly and generous this week are the results of the New Moon’s associations with Jupiter, Venus and Mars. Such warm-hearted inclinations are admirable and there are plenty of bodies that could benefit from your largesse. However, there are others who would exploit your idealistic leanings for their own ends. While you like to believe the best of everybody, you can’t simply throw money around. Only the most needy and deserving should benefit from your charity.

Leo (Jul 23 - Aug 22)

Despite a pose that alternates between ferocity and indolence, the Lion is an intelligent, multi-talented creature and one that quickly commands respect and loyalty. This is a fine recipe for successful leadership and good management. However, if a merger or an alliance is to work, your partners must possess the sort of toughness and stamina that matches your own and be as exacting and ruthless as you can be. You will soon dominate those of a weaker nature and lose respect for any individuals you perceive as inferior.

Virgo (Aug 23 - Sept 22)

Vocal Mercury’s links with jovial Jupiter this week point to opportunities for pleasure and expansion - particularly in the social sphere. The material aspects of making a living have been your main priorities for too long and you need now to turn to things that stimulate your passions. Building for the future, living on a budget and increasing your work skills are important, but remember that life is for living. Do you really want to be written off as dull and boring? You’ll be relegated to the status of a social outcast and you’ll forget how to enjoy yourself if you don’t get out more often. This is sad because most Virgoans can be charming, witty and fun to be with.

Libra (Sept 23 - Oct 22)
