Gemini
Grab a career lifeline and break out of your familiar boundaries. Jupiter, planet of good fortune, offers a last chance at an adventurous new direction. You have knowledge to share and your Gemini writing skills come into their own. Keep a diary and write down your latest inspiration - time spent in solitude produces great work. Midweek suits talking to your partner and getting emotional issues out in the open. If you run into resistance, an expensive gift melts their heart. Assert yourself on Friday, but keep alive to group issues.

Cancer
Tear yourself away from old romantic entanglements. Venus, planet of love, brings you up to date with a here-and-now attraction. New excitement is what you need to put the past in perspective. Your partner surprises you with insight when you share your troubles. Clear lines of communication open up and bring you closer together.

Leo
Look for a cause bigger than yourself, this is no time for private agendas. Part of you is chasing your own rainbows, but use your energy to help a friend. A reciprocal feeling of goodwill helps overcome initial resistance. Set money aside for your rainy-day fund and Thursday finds you back on sparkling form.

Virgo
You have duties still to perform before taking up a romantic offer. Saturn, planet of ambition, keeps you focused on a long-term goal that feels like a now-or-never deal. World weariness ebbs away as you think clearly and make decisive calls. A lazy weekend is favoured and you give yourself a break from empire-building commitments.

Libra
Relationships along old lines only survive up to a point. You need a break from normality and excitement is your number one priority. Uranus, planet of the unorthodox, sees you in experimental mood and you enjoy shocking people with your choices. Talk to a parent and get a deeper understanding – it’s never too late.

Scorpio
Starting a conversation leads to a meeting of minds. Witty types are what you seek and a partner who can keep you amused. A superficial attraction deepens and you are glad you broke the ice. Your Scorpio reticence is a natural defence, but reveal a little of yourself and people like what they find.

Sagittarius
Balance conflicting demands at work and home and usher in a new life episode. You don’t have to keep to a script. A financial overhaul takes time, but this only reflects the scale of your ambitions. Pluto, planet of willpower, draws you into influential circles and you are flattered when people trust your business brain.

Capricorn
Thinking smart makes even the hardest tasks go smoothly. Plan your professional strategy in advance and pin your friends down to a shared commitment. Monday’s Capricorn Moon has a corporate feel which favours you when striking a bargain. Forget yourself in company when you accept an after-hours invitation you would usually turn down.

Aquarius
Your altruistic aims come up against other peoples’ desires. You want to merge with a wider cause but your partner expects their romantic wishes to come first. Surrender gracefully, but find ways to keep your charitable interests alive. Wednesday’s Aquarius Moon is your stand-out day and you explain your side of the argument.

Pisces
Your life is turned upside down before you find a new saving grace. A domestic upheaval proves your chance to shed a career straightjacket. You have worked too hard for too long. Going solo in business is a perfect solution to competing demands and lets you impose your own limits. Let yourself relax come Friday’s Pisces Moon.

Aries
You are acting out of character and enjoying the stir it creates. Uranus, planet of rebellion, sees you taking direct action and you can’t suffer under the old regime at home. Get into your creativity, either as artist or appreciative audience. A personal crusade appeals to your Aries instincts and you champion the underdog’s cause.

Taurus
It’s unusual for you to over-think your plans. Mercury, planet of thought, sits close and talking to a friend gives you vital critical distance. Expand your mind with reading, and travel adds richness to your life. Frustration with your professional role melts away when you appreciate how much value your home life adds.
