Don't sit back and expect someone else to do it, get onto the case yourself without delay!

Gemini 21.05 - 20.06 This is a good time to take a back-seat in operations for a few days as you exchange ideas and get to know people with whom you need to be involved.

The focus should be on your career more than anything else this month.

Thursday's New Moon opens new doors for your career success. Learning to trust your gut reaction is the best policy. Don't waver.

Cancer 21.06 - 22.07 You may need to make some quite radical decisions today and tomorrow which can be difficult for a Water Sign.

Trust your intuition, it will never put you on the wrong path. Think things through, get advice if necessary, and put your plans into action from Thursday. If you act decisively then you should begin to see results almost immediately. You should feel more 'grounded' by the weekend, and satisfied with your decisions.

Leo 23.07 - 22.08 You can't expect people to understand your needs and wants if you don't confide in them, Leo! Why not shut yourself away with a loved one while the Old Moon wanes and become even closer by sharing confidences? The New Moon on Thursday should focus on your family, home and possessions. Try to develop 'healthy boundaries' with everyone.

If you grasp too tightly you might inadvertently break a relationship.

Virgo 23.08 - 22.09 Remember that when you point the finger at someone you're actually pointing three back at yourself!

Why are you criticising yourself? Why not be compassionate, instead?

Remember you can only do your best, no better.

Mercury, your ruling planet, is moving into Aries now, and it could make you indiscreet when dealing with vulnerable issues. When in doubt, say nothing! You should feel you're on surer ground by Friday and Saturday.

Libra 23.09 - 22.10 There's little point in regretting things that you cannot change, Libra.

Spend the early part of the week being nice to yourself. Be considerate of your innermost fears and be gentle, rather than chiding. The New Moon on Thursday should give you a boost of enthusiasm to get things done. Remember, yesterday is history. The only thing we can do about the past is learn from it.

Scorpio 23.10 - 21.11 Why not spend today and tomorrow closeted with someone you love? The energy is low anyway as the Old Moon wanes in the skies. Be open about your feelings and remember a good relationship grows from a base of trust. By Thursday's New Moon you may have plans to do something outrageous. Go on, why not take that chance? The more creative the idea the more likely it will succeed.

Sagittarius 22.11 - 21.12 You may be going through a phase of wondering if your actions can ever bring you the desired results or not. You need to be grounded.

Don't push too hard just now, for there's little energy about with the Old Moon.

Be willing to share your ideas, and your workload if possible, with the New Moon on Thursday. You should, by then, begin to see light at the end of the tunnel.

Capricorn 22.12 - 20.01 You can achieve a lot by lying back and thinking things through in your mind, rather than trying to force things to happen. Slow down between now and Thursday. Your innermost thoughts can prove most helpful at this time. The New Moon on Thursday offers you some nice opportunities for family and home stability. Acting confident, whether you feel it or not, can work wonders!

Aquarius 21.01 - 18.02 Don't let anyone pull the wool over your eyes this week, Aquarius, especially where money is concerned.

It's best to get professional advice if you're in a bit of a fix at this time. Thursday's New Moon should give you confidence and help you focus on the home front.

Perhaps it's time to clear out the old and make room for the new?

Pisces 19.02 - 20.03 With Venus in your sign this month you should be feeling pretty much in the spotlight and enjoy being made a fuss over! Make the most of this popularity without asking 'why?' Do look at any negative behaviour patterns you may be following and seek advice on how to change them into positive ones.

Thursday's New Moon gives you a push in the right direction.

Aries 21.03 - 20.04 With the Moon dying down before it is renewed later this week, don't be too concerned if you feel deflated and simply want to put your feet up.

Why not do so, and exchange information and delegate duties rather than rush around?

The New Moon on Thursday is in your sign, offering you plenty of opportunities to begin new projects and face challenges.

You need to remember there are other people in your life, however, so don't run roughshod over their needs at this time.
