YOUR STARS, BABY.

ARIES 22MAR-2OAPR

Should you or shouldn't you? You'l regret it but the memory of satisfaction should outlast the shame. Your rut is deepening, so beware. You need novelty to keep you alive, to keep the temperature up in the molten core of your turbulent soul. Golf might help.

TAURUS 21 APR-21 MAY

The certainties on which you have based so much action wil be looking a little inadequate. You wil need some new certainties as you move into a new phase of life. Also some livelier clothes wil help unsettle your conservative opposition.

GEMINI 22MAY-22JUNE

Your sense of autumn is premature. There is a resurgence of energy, autonomy and youthful beauty. Persistent courage is very impressive and this wil present your inner beauty to the outer world.

CANCER 23 JUNE-23 JULY

You've been so nice to so many people for so long it's tempting to behave badly. The opportunity wil become a necessity in due course. A new series of relationships are forming and they are settling into their necessary orbits. You have no chance of influencing this, but make sure you protect yourself.

LEO 24JULY-23AUG

Your great opportunity for advancement has passed and you did what you could. Now you must consolidate your position in the new conditions you created. You won't get the most of what you wanted but you wil get some, maybe even most. Dilute your strongest propositions to make them inteligible to the masses.

VIRGO 24AUG-23SEPT

Your talent this week is for lust and rage. Deploy them without restraint, if you wish to succeed. If your friends criticise you, discard them. Your behaviour is so interesting you will attract new admirers.

LIBRA 24SEPT-23OCT

People aren't doing what you want them to. Look the other way and pretend you haven't noticed. Your authority will be compromised if you admit failure. Start again after a decent interval but in such a way that disobedience is no longer an option.

SCORPIO 24OCT-22NOV

This is no longer amusing. How long are you going to put up with it? It's time for a whole new beginning, so make sure your underlings understand what is required. Let them know what is expected and the penalties of failure. It al reflects badly on you until the matter is concluded successfuly.

SAGITTARIUS 23NOV-22DEC

Beware the rump and the haunch. They draw your attention when you should be thinking of higher things: noble ends and large abstract structures. The flesh is a pit that wil absorb al your courage, desire, and idealism. Aim high. No, higher. If it's above the waist it deserves to be cherished.

CAPRICORN 23 DEC-19 JAN

There's a lot of activity going on that would eat you up if you knew about it. Your exquisite aesthetic taste comes into conflict with your equaly exquisite moral sense. Beauty is more important than truth, but you'l be surprised how similar their results are.

AQUARIUS 20JAN-19FEB

When the phone rings, don't answer it. People want you to do things and you only go along with them because you can't think of anything better to do. Concentrate on your own internal processes. Your hidden talents need uncovering one by one - they are obscured by seven veils.

PISCES 20FEB-21MAR

The smalest things wil attract the attention you want so make sure your details are perfect. Your larger attributes are beyond disguise. While they are distracted you can commit enormous larcenies. You'l need a getaway plan. With courage you can have anything you want. Anything.
