SCORPIO 24 OCTOBER – 22 NOVEMBER

Money may be a popular topic but try to steer clear of it. You certainly don’t want to be cornered into an arrangement that will restrict your movements; or make you feel obliged to support someone whose ideals and philosophies leave you cold. You are your own person and must remain as such.

SAGITTARIUS

23 NOVEMBER – 21 DECEMBER

Ideas that seemed feasible in the summer will be closely scrutinised by those who rarely venture from the tried and tested. A Saturn-Mars clash that makes you feel challenged will also bring out your fighting spirit. Don’t be dissuaded from investing your talents and resources in one particular area in which you have tremendous faith.

CAPRICORN

22 DECEMBER – 20 JANUARY

Early in the month, you’ll feel capable of juggling your private affairs and your dealings very successfully. But by about 24 November, you’ll wonder why influential people are trying to pull you in several different directions at the same time. Refuse to commit to anything about which you have misgivings.

AQUARIUS

21 JANUARY – 19 FEBRUARY

Although you have recent financial or business transactions you are not proud of, your judgement in such areas is set to improve. With Neptune moving forward again, accept that mistakes happen and trust yourself to single out opportunities which, with minimal risk attached, could change your fortunes. Go with your sixth sense.

PISCES

20 FEBRUARY – 20 MARCH

Somebody might persuade you to take time out or indulge in something exotic or romantic. But later in the month when opportunities present themselves, you’ll be happy to tap into your more serious side. Even so, you mustn’t allow anyone to assume that money and success are your drivers. There’s more to life, isn’t there?

ARIES

21 MARCH – 20 APRIL Your expectations of a joint venture may call for some readjustment when you see how others behave. This is not to discourage you from pursuing the idea, but you may have to view the part you’re meant to play rather differently. Trust your perception of what’s going on to be more accurate than anybody else’s.

TAURUS

21 APRIL – 21 MAY

Having skirted round responsibilities no-one else would take on, you’re about to decide that you may as well grapple with them. You won’t find the situation nearly as challenging as expected. But you must insist on being credited with whatever success you’ve achieved. Beware of one individual who would like to steal your thunder.

GEMINI

22 MAY – 21 JUNE

Ignore those suggesting that your ambitions are based on fantasy rather than reality. True, Neptune’s tie-up with the Sun means that your imagination is running riot. But that’s no reason to assume that you cannot bring a dream to fruition. You may lose certain fans or followers in the process, but does that really matter?

CANCER

22 JUNE – 23 JULY

People complaining endlessly about their problems mustn’t get under your skin. Try to show them there’s a way of meeting ongoing responsibilities while also indulging in the lighter side of life. Whether or not they learn anything from you will rely on their willingness to be open to your ideas. After all, you can only try.

LEO

24 JULY – 23 AUGUST

An intense relationship may crave your attention but you’ll also need to focus on a set-up or situation capable of taking up big chunks of your time. Refuse to feel guilty for wanting to indulge your romantic or light-hearted streak. Any suggestion that you fail to meet ongoing responsibilities is out of order. Say as much.

VIRGO

24 AUGUST – 23 SEPTEMBER

Work or responsibilities that others regard as onerous could be made far more fulfilling by someone such as yourself. But as you add a touch of magic to the proceedings, you’ll feel the impact of Jupiter’s run-in with Pluto. Refuse to fall foul of the critical comments of those who lack your strength and daring.

LIBRA

24 SEPTEMBER – 23 OCTOBER

Initially, you may not profit as much as you expect from a challenging project. But there’s much to be gained if you can persuade one particular person to collaborate with you so that the two of you are able to come up with even more original and beneficial ideas. Let your creative streak come to the fore.
