Cancer[1]

(JUNE 22 - JULY 23)

The confidential Aquarian Moon makes you feel more intensely[2], but also makes you want to keep a few secrets up your sleeve[3]. No one will know what is going on with you, but that will suit you[4]. Financially and emotionally, you are unsure how to pin close partners down[5]. Just play a cool waiting game.

Leo[6]

(JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)

What you really want is a helping hand and a shoulder to lean on[7], but certain close companions[8] are on a different wavelength[9]. There is no sense in getting uptight[10]. Those who are meant for you will come of their own accord[11]. In the meantime, hard work beckons[12], so you will be knuckling down[13] later with a good deal of self-discipline.

Virgo[14]

(AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)

Low energy and a minor panic about nothing at all[15] may get you off on the wrong foot[16]. Drift quietly into the day. You will work up a head of steam[17] as you go and the chores[18] will get done, even if you have to do everything yourself. Try to relax when you can since next week will be helter-skelter[19].

Libra[20]

(SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 22)

Your head is in the clouds[21], so you are in no mood to be doing practical chores[22]. Reject drains on your energy and see where you can find helpful companions. Give some time[23] later to sorting out one small cash matter[24]. You will be getting into gear by next week on money-making schemes.

Scorpio[25]

(OCTOBER 23 - NOVEMBER 22)

Tuck yourself away[26], preferably at home or in a protected spot. What you want more than anything is to be relaxed. Misunderstandings will clear up[27] if you are firm but tactful[28]. Lay your cards on the table[29] and, with luck, loved ones will feel obliged to do the same[30]. Do not put up with criticism[31].

Sagittarius[32]

(NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)

A busy, chatty fast-moving, although not always clear-cut day will have you scattering your energy in several directions at once[33]. You are feeling more healthy but do not push yourself[34].

Capricorn[35]

(DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)

Getting your personal finances sorted out[36] is more important to your sense of personal fulfillment[37] than it is to most signs[38]. You like to have all your bets hedged to ensure that nothing goes wrong[39]. You are clearly dealing with a complex situation at the moment, so you need to be on your toes[40].

Aquarius[41]

(JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)

The Moon in your own sign always makes you sensitive, so be wary of over-reacting to minor situations which blow up[42]. Do not leap to conclusions[43] - things are probably not how they first seem. Set aside time later to resolve one domestic tangle[44]. A spot of tidying will improve your state of mind.

Pisces[45]

(FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)

When you are not happy about the way your life is unfolding[46], you just withdraw into your inner dream world[47]. Instead of escaping, try to focus on what[48] you really want to do which will bring you a deeper sense of purpose in the days ahead. You want a real vocation[49], not to just be treading water.

Aries[50]

(MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)

Trying to judge the moods of close companions[51] is not easy for you at the moment because they seem to be so changeable[52]. They may be challenging[53], exciting and stimulating one minute and maddeningly uncooperative[54] the next. Just skip around[55] the ones who are being tricky[56]. You need to protect yourself.

Taurus[57]

(APRIL 21 - MAY 20)

The Moon at your mid-heaven is always your cue to be as helpful as you possibly can, even if you have to push yourself. Be the one who is sensitive to others at work. You will be rewarded with praise[58]. Later, however, you may decide you need some uninterrupted time just to finish necessary tasks.

Gemini[59]

(MAY 21-JUNE 21)

A varied day[60] filled with some intriguing conversations, but also a number of crossed connections. You are in an optimistic, rather confident mood, looking ahead to better days to come. You may withdraw later into a quiet spot to ponder over a few practical decisions[61] which only you can make.
