The moon draws your eyes to the perfect luck list.
GEMINI

LEO
JULY 23 – AUG 23
Speaking, and acting, true to your true self, is your gift from the sun –this filters into every corner of your life this week.
In the family, instead of constantly trying, you can set new limits, and stick to them.
With a partner, passion warmth helps you see what’s working well, and build on this.
If you’re single, a second sighting of a unique Aquarius could update your status.

You may say and do surprising things, yet you sense they can lead in a positive direction.
A time of staying on the sidelines, at work or at home, is ending as Mercury helps you state your case.
Love-wise, this is a week to be more dreamer than schemer – go with the flow.
LIBRA
SEPT 23 – OCT 23

The sun warms your friendship zone and you can make hot contacts for life.
In love?
Venus hides heavy words and wishes in the lightest of chats, so stay alert.
Single? A “P” date may seem dull, but do look deeper.
SCORPIO
OCT 24 – NOV 22
That sense that certain people may have been taking you for granted can end as Mercury helps you speak out, in constructive rather than critical ways.
You do have the right to have only the faces and places you rate in your life.
As for love, you have such a strong and sensitive commitment moon, so you see through pretence to genuine feelings, and you know exactly what to do next.
SAGITTARIUS
NOV 23 – DEC 21
Team spirit can be your secret of success – at work, at home and in love.
This week you have all the skills to work well with all kinds of people, without selling your own needs short.
This ends a time of feeling over-stretched.
Mars makes waves, while Jupiter brings luck, and the oversight of Mercury makes the absolute most of every opportunity.
New passion links to names of nine letters.
CAPRICORN
DEC 22 – JAN 20
Taking a deep dive into what really makes you tick is the theme of your week, as curious but protective planets line up for you.
Get ready to confront what stops you living and loving as your best self – by the end of the week you can be halfway there.
A mega-creative moon seeds wild ideas in your mind and heart – your task is to take them, and yourself, seriously.
AQUARIUS
JAN 21 – FEB 18
Making bonds that matter is easier for you this week, and you don’t hesitate to make all kinds of first moves, even if it means putting your heart on the line.
As others see and feel you opening up, the response can take your breath away.
A family-centred moon highlights areas to work on at home – but when you really look, you can find you already have all the answers.
PISCES
FEB 19 – MAR 20
Negotiation comes naturally to you now, and that deal that may seem just a dream can shape up towards reality.
But beware of bargaining with yourself over a move that deep inside you know you really must make – and soon.
Jupiter’s luck umbrella covers you and your home – contests that link to future security are well worth your attention.
Showing how much you love your work can reap rewards.
