Aquarius

Good news for you too Aquarius. Glamour girl Venus is bathing your chart in a golden glow but this time it's not so much your love life that gets the make-over, it's your career. Your popularity is on the increase at work and your boss could be looking at you in a new light. Better still, mighty Mars is moving in to boost the affect and turn idle chat into solid schemes, achievements and even maybe a payrise. Now is the time to turn those dreams into reality. Don't waste it.

Aries

Did you have a restful weekend Aries? If you did you're perfectly in tune with the universe right now. The stars are bringing you a quiet spell and this week you're being urged to be more thoughtful and introspective than usual. If this sounds dull don't be put off. In fact these are the ideal conditions you need. You are preparing for a great leap forward but it's not going to be a leap in the dark. A period of tranquility will help you formulate an excellent plan for the future.

Cancer

Wow Cancer! Cupid has got you in his sights and is just about to shoot off another arrow. If you're single and fancy free you're going to get the chance to change that situation any time now. If you're already spoken for you're going to have to try very hard to behave yourself as temptation is about to walk across your path. Alluring strangers are moving in on your sign and soon you're going to be as popular as a lottery winner in a winebar. Maybe you'd like to check your hair again before you go out?

Capricorn

Your career is still set to zoom off at a hundred miles an hour Capricorn but before you make a start, the planets are sending you a little socialising to remind you that being a workaholic is not a worthwhile goal. All work and no play makes you a very dull mountain goat indeed. So why not put your laptop away, get changed into something sexy and get yourself out and about? Okay so don't think of it as fun. Call it networking if it makes you feel any better. And you never know. New faces you meet in a relaxed atmosphere could lead to even greater advances in that career.

Gemini

You're raring to go Gemini, no doubt about that. Your questing mind needs variety and constant stimulation. All this standing around considering the situation from every conceivable angle is far too dull for a quick witted creature like you. You want to be off and onto the next thing, before teatime if possible. But you have to remember that Mercury is still retrograde. You can't hurry things at a time like this. If something can go wrong, it will so you need to be extra careful with every detail. Back to the drawing board Gem and no moaning!

Leo

Action stars are blasting into the area of your chart that influences home and family Leo and it seems that changes are being demanded. Maybe you're thinking of moving in, moving out or just moving on in some way. If you are then good for you. The planets will speed you on your way. If you haven't decided where or what you'd most like to reorganise then very soon it will be pointed out to you - forcibly. Here's a clue. That object or person that's currently driving you mad? One way or another they'll have to be re-arranged.

Libra

You were in party mode yesterday if you're typical of your sign Libra and today, while you're still disentangling the streamers from your hair you might like to contemplate the new scene that has opened up before your eyes. Yes things really have changed. Right now an opportunity awaits you that will demand all your creativity, ingenuity and ability to cope. Oh dear, you're not backing off already? That was the old Libra. New Libra will seize this chance with confidence and rise to the challenge with ease. You can conquer the world Miss Congeniality - as long as you have faith in yourself.

Pisces

You've moved mountains in recent months Pisces. You probably don't even realise how far you've come. You're still too close to the journey to be able to stand back and see how much distance you've covered or how high the pile of completed tasks now reaches. What you need is to create some space between you and a certain situation so that you can regain a sense of perspective. So slow down. Stop pushing yourself so hard and chill for a while. Transferring to tick-over is not a crime and a pause will give you time to see where to launch phase two.

Sagittarius

Mars and Venus are beaming intriguing vibes into your chart Sagittarius. They're affecting many signs today and in your case they're stirring up some long forgotten dreams and ideas. This will probably seem puzzling at first and you won't understand why your mind keeps moving down memory lane - not a place where you care to stroll very often. You much prefer the brightly lit dual carriageway to the future. Yet your current pondering actually serves a useful purpose. You're being reminded of where you once wanted to go - and maybe be, deep down, you still do.

Scorpio

Well there's going to be no stopping you today Scorpio. You've got more chat than a double glazing salesman and the inclination to use it just as persuasively. If you don't actually have a job in sales perhaps it's time you gave the idea some thought. You could make a fortune! Okay so you probably think of yourself as the behind the scenes type and it's true that you are brilliant as the power behnd the throne. But there's much more in you than you realise. Dare to be different today and you could be amazed at what you achieve.

Taurus

Mars and Venus are still eyeing each other up across your sign Taurus and it looks as if this is going to be one of those love/hate, can't live with you/can't live without you kind of relationships. So where does that leave poor Taurus down here on earth? Dazed and confused about the feelings of an attractive admirer most likely. They're blowing hot and cold and you're not sure how to respond. Well just keep calm and play it cool. They'll soon and come running to see what they're missing.

Virgo

Hurrah Virgo! Looks like you've decided to take a lesson from the universe! Whether you realise it or not, the planets have been urging you to speed up, to stop procrastinating and to give yourself permission to go with your gut instinct instead of drawing up exhaustive lists of pros and cons and then spending weeks comparing them. No one could ever accuse you of being hasty but you really can't afford to hang around any longer. It's make your mind up time and remarkably it seems that you've actually come to a decision! Brilliant! Now just do it.
