Aries
21 Mar – 20 Apr
Thursday’s full moon
has romantic potential in spades
so if you’ve been trying to get
any kind of relationship off the
ground, give it a push then. At
the weekend, attend to details.

Scorpio
24 Oct – 22 Nov
It’s a rare Scorpio
who doesn’t give a fig about
their public image, and this is a
wonderful week for upgrading
it. If you put the effort in, even
big yourself up, it’ll pay off.

Taurus
21 Apr – 20 May
You could well be
feeling unsettled this week,
which won’t help when some
rumbling work or family hassle
comes to a head on Thursday.
Go easy on yourself then.

Sagittarius
23 Nov – 22 Dec
Jupiter, planet of
opportunity, has been laying the
seeds in your sign and between
now and early December it’s
harvest time. The chance to
make your own luck is here.

Gemini
21 May – 20 Jun
If you’re not careful,
this week could erupt into a
battle of wills. It certainly seems
like you’re at cross-purposes
with someone from Thursday
onwards. Tact is everything.

Capricorn
23 Dec – 20 Jan
This is a good week
for tackling thorny problems.
People should be in an open,
approachable mood from
Tuesday to Friday, so if you
need advice or support, say so.

Cancer
21 Jun – 22 Jul
For you, Thursday’s
full moon is all about money, sex
or shared resources. Hot topics
then, so unlikely to be plain
sailing. Try to see the bigger
picture and you’ll spot solutions.

Aquarius
21 Jan – 19 Feb
Your big theme is
balance in relationships. If it
seems the other person has all
the power, there might be an
almighty blow-up on Thursday.
It could even things out, though.

Pisces
20 Feb – 20 Mar
From Sunday
relationships enter a fiery
phase. Ongoing niggles could
flare into rows. On the upside,
it could clear the air and get
things on a better footing.

Libra
23 Sep – 23 Oct
Tuesday to Thursday
are lovely days when someone
helps you shine. This makes
you crave recognition, though,
and Thursday’s full moon sees
a crisis if you’re not getting it.

Virgo
23 Aug – 22 Sep
On Sunday the red
planet, Mars, bombs into Virgo
and it’s watch out world. Mars
gives you the energy and drive
to get what you want and take
no prisoners in the process.

Leo
23 Jul – 22 Aug
In this last Leo
birthday week things really hot
up. Relationships, especially,
see spectacular developments.
Love involves risk and you need
to be a brave, not cowardly, lion.
