Leo
23 Jul-22 Aug
The realm of Leonine splendour comes into its own come Tuesday when the Sun reaches the Lion's skies. Dazzle the world accordingly, noting that the phrase is 'splendour' not 'spend more'. Personal affairs fall easily into place, but you may wish to wait a week for business deals.
· Mick Jagger, 26 July 1943
Virgo
23 Aug-22 Sep
The work agenda is clear as mountain water: prove you can handle pressure, administrate competently and shine at meetings (excellent week for the last). If you're creative, expand the range of your output. The personal life is more ambiguous: how do you snare someone unavailable, or lose someone who too obviously is? Have fun figuring out that conundrum!
Libra
23 Sep-23 Oct
Work routines may look simpler but they demand swiftness; be sure you punch in at the factory on time and await fresh instructions. There's news in the air. Ordering your personal life - as in rallying all your friends to your cause, throwing smouldering looks at desirable types across crowded rooms - is what the next three weeks are all about. Get into gear - your reputation as the zodiac's great romantic is on the line.
Scorpio
24 Oct-21 Nov
It's a canny time to 'get away from it all', firstly because there is plenty of 'it' coming your way in August, and because breaking the routine of your personal life (or absence thereof) helps restore it to good health. Whether you are stuck at the grindstone for the whole of the summer or cruising the promenade, this isn't the season to be a lone wolf. Make common cause.
Sagittarius
22 Nov-21 Dec
You have doubtless worked long and hard to reach your present position (if your are 21 or over, that is), so don't now get fazed by its demands or by professional jealousy. Calmness and organisation are currently key qualities. The incoming season of Leo, a fellow fire sign, brings supporters, inspiration and, on however small a scale, escape.
Capricorn
22 Dec-19 Jan
The demanding issues of 2008 are on rewind until September. Review your long-term agenda accordingly, and savour summer's fleeting delights. Last Friday's full Moon focused on relationships, and your ability to fix them or bring them to closure - carry that particular agenda onwards this week.
Aquarius
20 Jan-19 Feb
It's a fine time to dance to your own tune, not least because your horoscope carries a message of healing - either of your wounds or those of others. Best not expect universal approval - the incoming month of Leo means you're somewhat outgunned. Compromise and even-handedness are required, sigh, but romantic temptation is on offer. Smile.
Pisces
20 Feb-20 Mar
Events over the last couple of weeks have hopefully brought issues into the open, especially regarding people you find yourself in bed with (metaphorically or literally). It's an exciting but provocative time, so keep your cool, despatch your duties with aplomb, and don't neglect pals, as opposed to the thrillers and foes now wagging your tail.
Aries
21 Mar-19 Apr
Tuesday's arrival of the Sun in Leo, a sign as fiery as your own, promises an overdue taste of la dolce vita, and with Venus making an opportune appearance in the same sector of your 'scope, some head-turning moments for singletons out there. That said, certain people crossing your path this next month are likely to prove just as feisty as you. Heck! Best manners please.
Taurus
20 Apr-20 May
Marching boldly onwards? It isn't a time to dither or obfuscate (it will likely be seen as weakness) but to perform in your chosen arena. Creative types have a green light for their long-term projects, be that a best-seller or a market garden, while romantics can unburden their feelings. The weekend, with the moon in your skies, offers commanding views of the landscape.
Gemini
21 May-20 Jun
This summer is a period of transition, leading up to the new term/progress check that arrives in September. No matter whatever kind of jam or delightful spot you find yourself in, just remember nothing stays the same for long - just Gemini's thing, in fact. This is a good week to conjure up some extra money, or to run around pressing flesh and having lots of fun.
Cancer
21 Jun-22 Jul
Issues raised since the new Moon of 3 July call for urgent attention - any unresolved issues tend to linger on, especially if it 's a partnership that needs re-balancing (as in you being less dependant perhaps). Mobility is the keyword - anything from thinking out the box to rearranging your commuting schedules. Unstick your assumptions!
