Horoscopes

ARIES: Aries live life intensely because you're open to a wider variety of experiences than most people are interested in - or can handle. Which means brighter, darker, more light, more shadow, more colour, more contrasts - and this week has it all.

TAURUS: Splish splash! If this week lands you in the cosmic broth, don't panic and sink like a stone. You know how to swim, or at the very least how to float - so relax, and know that even the most minimal movement will keep you buoyant.

GEMINI: Being the zodiac's most mutable air sign, this week's myriad mood swings and changeable Piscean ways aren't likely to faze you. Because Geminis can simply adapt to whatever madness is happening and go go go with the flow flow flow.

CANCER: Crabs enjoy planning and preparation, but don't get so bogged down in pre-production details you lose your impetus and spontaneity this week - or get too attached to specific results either. Better to enjoy whatever happens; even failure has its entertaining side.

LEO: Leos are well known for their loyalty - to family, friends, professions or causes. Don't let this lock you, or those you're loyal to, into static roles this week. Allow for movement, growth, change and evolution - in others, and in yourself...

VIRGO: Virgos have two sides: the debonair, got-it-together, elegant, kind and considerate face the world sees - and the internal hell peopled by your personal demons, usually under lock and key. This week insists you get them both on speaking terms.

LIBRA: Don't look to others for solutions this week. You already have the answers - they're right there inside you, where perhaps you haven't checked. This is quite a magical time of delicious hocus pocus, so make use of it before it moves on.

SCORPIO: The pull of the earthy world of sensation and the emotional world of romantic fantasy are both strong this week. You'll need to balance your internal and external, public and private lives, so one doesn't dominate at the expense of the other.

SAGITTARIUS: This week the after effects of overdoing it could start to outweigh the fun, stimulation or satisfaction. Excesses add to your variety of life experience, sure - but there comes a time for translating those experiences into wisdom. And this is it.

CAPRICORN: This week the way something's done is as important as doing it. Style, elegance and grace will count as much as content, and aspects are highly auspicious for any kind of artistic work. So if what you're doing isn't particularly creative, make it so.

AQUARIUS: Just as you're trying to tread the straight and narrow road this week it goes all wiggly and turns invitingly serpentine. Where to go? Exactly where you're supposed to, because nothing in nature follows a straight line and you're about to learn a few new curves.

PISCES: This week you'll absorb even more input than you usually do from the world around you - getting so stirred up if you were a martini you'd be undrinkable. So stick like glue with people, places and situations that support you.
