CAPRICORN (Dec 23 – Jan 20) It’s time to look at the big picture. You will finally be liberated from your former doubts. But before you finalise the next stages of your plans, you’ll have to make a brief trip back to the past. Family irritations should begin to fade into the background.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21 – Feb 19) You’re about to revive past romantic glories – it could be a former relationship, or something you loved doing. You can now pick up from where you left off . You’ll also re-examine your current work goals with a new sense of freedom and optimism.

PISCES (Feb 20 – March 20) The winds of change are coming, and all the troubles of the last 18 months will be shown to have been worthwhile as you face new challenges with fresh maturity. You may be moving home, decorating, or working out your domestic relationships. A new work opportunity could arise due to initiatives made years ago.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20) This month, you’ll feel the need to improve your finances, and finally put a long-term personal goal into practice. Marital matters will be back on track, ready for a financial boost. You may also make travel plans late in the month.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21) You sowed the seeds of your opportunities back then, and now you are ready to reap the rewards. Stick to your guns and show that you’re willing and able to overcome all personal obstacles. In matters of the heart, take the lead and demonstrate your love in a way which can never be doubted.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21) This month, you either have to stand up for yourself and go your own way, or obey your loved one’s every whim. Remember that nobody can stop you from backing out of an unwanted commitment. You’ll be mingling within a new social scene, upgrading your professional skills and tackling a new responsibility.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23) Your biting wit will be particularly evident this month. However, make sure you pick the right targets lest you alienate employers and annoy loved ones. An unexpected romantic encounter will make you realise just how well off you are. Financial and professional mysteries will be solved as soon as you’ve done the groundwork.

LEO (July 24 – Aug 23) Just because a partner becomes more distant doesn’t mean they are drifting away – they may just need more space than you, so take the chance to relax and enjoy a good rest. You have an excellent chance of getting a prize or promotion this month.

VIRGO (Aug 24 – Sept 23) You’ll be re-evaluating your most important life goals and reaching for the stars. Make a few personal adjustments, and after the 13th, you can go for broke. You may end up with an extra job, or find yourself involved in community activities.

LIBRA (Sept 24 – Oct 23) You are full of fresh plans, ideas and proposals – it’s best to broaden your horizons. You may face a legal complication or moral dilemma at work late in the month. Just remember to work out a way both to do the right thing and stand up for your rights.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 22) You’ll soon turn the tables and get the better of partners and their incessant demands. You’ll be much happier once personal questions are answered. You’ll also be striking some business deals and picking up a bargain.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23 – Dec 22) Your stress levels will increase this month, but it’s not necessarily a problem – you may find yourself achieving more. Surprise meetings spice up the middle of the month, and an old friend’s return sets you on a new and positive path.
