Taurus 21.04 - 20.05 You've probably spent the last few days catching up on practical matters after recent weeks of frustrations. Why not arrange some sort of gettogether tomorrow to have a good chat with friends?

When the moon moves into watery Cancer mid-week you'll be feeling more introspective, and it's time to revisit your plans from earlier in the year. Find someone to exchange your ideas and you might gain some helpful insights.

Gemini 21.05 - 20.06 It's time to catch up after the last few weeks. Get some input from your friends early this week and it can save you a lot of energy. The moon is in your sign on Monday and Tuesday, helping you to be light-hearted, so accept help from others and have some fun while working. Later in the week you can put your mind to more creative pursuits. Don't let them get away from you.

Cancer 21.06 - 22.07 Gentle, friendly Venus should be helping you to see those around you in a kind, gentle light. Tell someone special how you feel today.

The moon will be in your sign mid-week, making you feel quite sensitive to what's going on around you. With the help of Mercury and Jupiter at this time you can open up about how you truly feel and admit your aspirations.

Leo 23.07 - 22.08 You should be feeling more cheerful about your financial situation by now.

It's a good time to take another look at your income and outgoings and see if there's any other improvements you can make for long-term benefit.

While Monday and Tuesday are good for socialising and exchanging ideas, take some time mid-week for your own, individual needs, when it may be best to stay clear of any contentious people.

Virgo 23.08 - 22.09 You may feel you're at a crossroads in your life right now, Virgo, and you're right.

This is a time when opportunities should present themselves for a bright future, including improvements in finances, but you must be willing to take a chance or two. Don't be stand-offish, accept any help you can from those around you to make the very most of change on offer. Simply go for it.

Libra 23.09 - 21.10 It's important that you feel you're being of service to others, but you don't have to be a slave. Use the contacts you have early this week to get information you need and listen to people's advice.

Don't make any decision, however, until mid-week, when listening to your inner voice will lead you in the right direction. You may also find yourself inspired on Friday or Saturday.

Remember those hunches!

Scorpio 23.10 - 21.11 Life shouldn't be a struggle, and this is a week when you need to leave the past firmly behind you and move forward in a positive direction.

Remember, the only thing you can do about the past is learn from it.

Get out and expand your social horizons.

Share ideas and let yourself be guided by your intuitive feelings. You should be feeling particularly creative as the week comes to an end.

Sagittarius 22.11 - 21.12 With Saturn returning direct after about five months of retrograde motion, it's time to recognise that what you perceived as negative experiences can now prove to be pivotal points in improving your life quite dramatically. If you're willing to stay out of the blame game you'll be able to make the most of any opportunities that pop into your life. Be inspired as the week comes to a close.

Capricorn 22.12 - 20.01 There's a wonderful opportunity for you to improve your life quite dramatically during this period, if you'll just let go of the past and learn from any harsh lessons you had to face. You should find help comes from travel or those who travel to you, and if you are involved in exchanging knowledge of any kind, any project you are working on should prove very successful.

Aquarius 21.01 - 18.02 If you're struggling to make ends meet you need to ask yourself if you feel the work you are doing is worthwhile or not. Change is normal, especially for air signs like yourself, so look out for new opportunities. Working in the field of communications of some sort should prove successful. As Saturn moves direct again after five months of retrograde motion, relationships should begin to improve.

Pisces 19.02 - 20.03 You've probably been making some internal changes in recent months, and now with Saturn moving direct after months of retrograde motion, it's time to make some changes on the outside.

Whether it's a wardrobe change or physical makeover, it will help you to feel a new beginning has come about and, as Venus is moving into your sign on Wednesday, this will give you another positive push forward.
