Scorpio
Monday’s Scorpio New Moon gives you the green-light to start stored-up projects. New goals arrive at just the right time and you have natural momentum behind you. Venus, planet of diplomacy, gives you an amiable touch and people want to work alongside you. Some misunderstand your overtures, so take care with the super-friendly signals on Wednesday. Don’t settle for peace at any price – your easy flexibility can be mistaken for weakness. Back yourself in negotiations. Financial matters benefit from careful planning and you can make a profit from smart thinking.                                                                                                  

Sagittarius
Keeping faith in your career mission is super-satisfying when it pays off. The balance between living the dream and being real is tricky, yet you steer a successful middle way. Vibrant Mars’s extended stay in your travel zone brings wanderlust, never far from the Sagittarius heart. Execute your big plans on Tuesday.

Capricorn
You have the talent to fulfil your dreams and a clear sense of purpose is with you. Extra duties galvanize you into action. Saturn, your ruler, reminds you of unfinished business and there isn’t an unlimited time period. Keep your chin up. This is a temporary test of will and afterwards leaves you more fit and focused.

Aquarius
Prosperous times are here and you are building on your good fortune. You can take calculated career risks –  your downside is well-covered. Saturn, your guiding star, crystallizes your education prospects and leaves nobody in doubt of your credentials. Critics closer to home have their say, and for once, it pays to listen.

Pisces
Going against the conventional wisdom takes courage. You are left with no choice but to break out of working rituals, and you raise eyebrows among your friends. This can be fun. Venus, planet of affection, sits well and sees you easing your revolution in gently. Spend time with those who understand your contrary stance.

Aries
It’s tempting to hang on and hope sweeping changes at work don’t touch you. Better to be a true Aries and take a proactive stand. Saturn, planet of ambition, makes demands on your energy and you are refining your goals. Have some imagination. The cosy niche you have created still isn’t the best life has to offer.

Taurus
Different job, same sense of chasing a deeper purpose. Financial rewards are not the main issue, it’s more about finding a proper role. Talk things through with someone close, as Sunday’s New Moon highlights your partnership zone. Pooled efforts promise good things and give you the desired big-picture feeling.

Gemini
Nobody can match you for lively repartee, so play to your strengths. Wednesday finds you bouncing ideas off a friend, as the Moon and playful Mercury hit your relationship sector. You may not feel especially lucky, but your attitude impresses people who matter and you get an excellent return for your efforts.

Cancer
You have earned someone’s trust over time and now you can work your magic. Venus, planet of relating, brings you an easy rapport and a spirit of camaraderie sees you getting things done together. Appearances matter, and you know instinctively how to look. Friday favours taking it easy in relaxing one-to-one company.  

Leo
Your energy is on full throttle and you demand immediate results. You work and play hard for longer than anyone and you leave great achievements behind you. Clever Mercury moving into your creativity zone on Monday gives you clear thinking with your physical power. Still, someone at home needs a gentler touch on Monday.

Virgo
After jumping through the bureaucratic hoops, you have arrived at a working summit. Now you can put a unique stamp on your career. You are the authority figure and have earned the right to the final say. Covert action doesn’t grab any headlines, but an understated approach at work enhances your prospects.

Libra
You know by now what the big issues are in your life, the major surgery. Face the challenges. Saturn, planet of time, puts you up against the clock career-wise, but patience is also at a premium. Make haste slowly. Spoiling yourself comes naturally and Monday’s New Moon is right for investing in the finest quality.
