November 23 – December 20

Try to relax where family is concerned; the household does not have to be run like a military camp! Allow everyone to do their own thing and get some time for yourself. Smile more, yell less.

Capricorn

December 21 – January 19

You have a right to speak up, and what you are saying is important, but try not to ruffle feathers unduly. Th ink tact and diplomacy rather than brute force.

Aquarius

January 20 – February 18

Look into earning some extra money from under-used skills. Increasing prosperity is your incentive, but choose to do something you truly enjoy.

Pisces

February 19 – March 20

Get plenty of exercise to keep nervous energy under control. You're feeling more confident than usual, but you're also prone to uncharacteristic bouts of temper. Count to 10!

Aries

March 21 – April 19

Intuition drives you this week, whether you realise it or not. If you fi nd yourself making out-of-character decisions, ask whether you have lost sight of logic altogether. For best results, use both your head and your heart.

Taurus

April 20 – May 20

You have an eye firmly on the future and want to know about the latest tech trends. If you work in that area, there is great career potential; elsewhere, the emphasis is on new friendships.

Gemini

May 21 – June 21

Mars is in your ambitions zone, driving you towards success. You may be exceptionally busy, but success isn't only measured in terms of job titles and salaries. Make time for yourself.

Cancer

June 22 – July 22

Think about taking a class or going back to school. If that doesn't appeal, look into professional development. You're driven to learn, so it may as well be something useful.

Leo

July 23 – August 22

You are determined to get to the bottom of something that's bothering you. However, your research may lead you up the wrong path, so be careful before you accuse anyone. It might be better to let the matter rest.

Virgo

August 23 – September 22

The arrival of Mars in your love zone is a mixed blessing. On the one hand, passion levels are through the roof, but on the other, you're also in an unusually argumentative mood. Stay calm.

Libra

September 23 – October 22

Workaholic tendencies could land you in trouble with your family. Try to fi nd a better work-life balance, if only for a few days. Your drive to succeed is admirable, as is your work ethic, but other things in life are important, too.
