Taurus (21 April - 21 May)
Before making decisions about the future, do all the necessary research. Be thorough and explore various avenues, not just the obvious options. Once you have the facts, evaluate them against your gut instinct. In matters of the heart, be giving and forgiving. Exercise that keeps you supple such as yoga or gentle stretching is best.
Your auspicious colour: light blue. -
Gemini (22 May - 21 June)
It doesn’t pay to be in a rush - take time to draw up a to-do list and pace yourself. Communication difficulties are an indication that you aren’t really listening, so step back and take a look at how you relate in both your personal and working life. Recharge your batteries by relaxing at home instead socialising.
Your auspicious colour: emerald green. -
Cancer (22 June - 23 July)
Sorting out practical matters with your partner will be productive and rebalance the roles. However, don’t neglect shared leisure and pleasure time. Pairing up with a friend makes it easier to stick to a sensible exercise and eating plan. Indulge in a bout of nostalgia by browsing through old photos and reconnecting with people from the past.
Your auspicious colour: caramel. -
Leo (24 July - 23 August)
The focus is on career and working towards long-term goals. Provided you keep your feet on the ground and avoid big schemes, your efforts will be rewarded. A friendship hits a rocky patch mid-month, but it is nothing that can’t be sorted out with patience and a little understanding. Unwind over good food in good company.
Your auspicious colour: peach. -
Virgo (24 August - 23 September)
Be proactive, but when things don’t flow, let go and re-strategise. Instead of aiming for perfection, accept the good-enough option. After the 13th, positive news shows you that you’re on the right track. In business negotiations, follow your gut feeling. Although you are motivated, don’t overdo it. Sometimes you just need to chill.
Your auspicious colour: ruby red. -
Libra (24 September - 23 October)
It’s a month for reviewing recent plans. What seemed like a great idea a while back may not look so good now. Take into account the importance of familiarity and an emotional support network. It is better to be sensible than sorry. Nurture yourself with sensual pleasures like soaking in a scented bath.
Your auspicious colour: mauve. -
Scorpio (24 October - 22 November)
Helping others is a great way to increase the feel-good factor - volunteer on a charity project or get involved in your local community. Small acts of kindness to friends also count. If you’re attached, from the 9th the rapport with your man is good. As well as enjoying each other’s company, you can resolve problems constructively.
Your auspicious colour: tan. -
Sagittarius (23 November – 22 December)
This start-stop period tests your patience and endurance - you need to accept that you can’t set the pace and make adjustments. In both working and personal relationships, how you communicate is important. Rather than jumping in with answers, put yourself in the other person’s shoes. Cultivate inner harmony by slowing down enough to smell the roses.
Your auspicious colour: russet. -
Capricorn (23 December – 20 January)
A project which has been dormant for a while, once again shows signs of life. Don’t procrastinate – get moving and be decisive. In the office, smooth the way with colleagues by being tactful. Although this is a busy time, don’t neglect self-care. It the small everyday pleasures that make a difference to your wellbeing.
Your auspicious colour: tangerine. -
Aquarius (21 January - 19 February)
You’re realising that stability and security matter more than you thought. Of course, it is important to define them in your terms. When it comes to questions related to parenting, keep an open mind. Although you enjoy being around people, occasionally you need to shut the door and escape into a good book.
Your auspicious colour: azure blue. -
Pisces (20 February – 20 March)
Despite the inevitable stresses, you have much for which to be grateful. What’s more, you’re seeing the best side of the people you encounter day to day. As your partner has a busy schedule, rely on friends for company and emotional support. Mid-month, resolving a buried issue restores harmony in the family.
Your auspicious colour: golden yellow. -
Aries (21 March - 20 April)
When in doubt, wait and don’t push against the tide. Being pragmatic and proceeding step-by-step is the way to get results. At work, colleagues will respond well to your being kind and helpful. Around the 22nd, there is financial good news. For the sake of your well-being, allow yourself to be vulnerable sometimes.
Your auspicious colour: olive green.
