​​Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 22) Happy Birthday!

If you’re starting to wonder whether you might just be caught in a rut, clotheswise, then pencil in the 20th as the day to invest in a new look. No need to book yourself into a health spa or anything radical; just work on the wrapper for now. But head for the shops; you can’t beat trying things on. Shoes bought online are rarely a perfect fit. Sure, you can wear double socks with your slightly too large shoes, but ones that actually fit are just the ticket. Go swish!

​

​Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 21)

Mars has pencilled in the fourth for a Martian mosey around your sign, so don’t be surprised if you suddenly find yourself with boundless energy. Make the most of it on the sixth when Venus calls on Scorpio to catch up on the goss, opening the door for all manner of clandestine amorous activity. Keep it under your hat though.   

​

Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 19) ​

Mercury is feeling worn out (well, the days are 4222 and a half hours long!) and is planning to spend the ninth to the twenty-ninth in bed (or retrograde, to you and me). Consequently this is a terrible time for making decisions, so put your best stalling head on and avoid committing to anything until next month. Wear more pink.  

​

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 19) 

You have ‘Star Power’ this November, so be sure to accept any party invitations, even if the folk throwing the party are of questionable character (boorish, shallow, dull, etc.). You can always avoid the hosts and mingle with the lesser guests and plus-ones. Be bold, but don’t be brassy. 

​

​Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 20) 

Some fish get a bad reputation for no good reason; there’s no accounting for the unfair opinions of certain of your peers, so don’t even try to apply rationale. Own it! Be the bad fish for now. Venus is set to pal up with the Sun and create ‘happy angles to Neptune’ on the 30th, restoring your fine reputation while they’re about it.    

​

​Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 20) 

 The travel bug bites hard this month (what with Mars entering Sagittarius on the fourth) and you’ll be powerless to resist the tug of the great outdoors. Calamity could strike between the 9th and 29th, but since rams love having something to complain about you’ll be in your element. Don’t spare the rude waiters. That’s what they get paid for. No mercy!     

​

​Taurus (Apr 21 - May 20) 

Eat more broccoli! Only joking, although it is very good for you if you can get the stuff down without feeling like you’re about to expire from boredom. Try not to chew it too much. Elsewhere this month you could declutter on the fifth and plan your budget on the 20th. It’s that kind of month. Still,  it’ll soon be Christmas. Try to smile.  

​

​Gemini (May 21 - Jun 20) 

If you find yourself becoming grumpy around the ninth, it may be wise to book yourself into a spa for a couple of weeks. One of those with lots of pampering rather than cucumber juice and torturous physio. Send the bill to cranky Mercury.

​

Cancer (Jun 21 - Jul 22) 

Crabs aren’t good at putting their foot down (proverbially speaking). Often too nice for their own good, hence their spot at the bottom of the food chain, assertiveness is not their trump card. But this November you’ll find yourself nipping any funny business in the bud before it blossoms into chaos. Treat yourself to cool new gloves.

​

​​Leo (Jul 23 - Aug 22) 

If you’re in a party mood, organise one now, before your pals and peers start thinking they can use Christmas as an excuse to dip out. The 17th is ideal, but any time around there will do. Don’t labour a theme, just go with drinks, snacks and a lively band so folks can boogie.  

​

​Virgo (Aug 23 - Sept 22) 

Any travel plans you have are susceptible to delays this month, due to Mercury throwing a 20-day sickie starting on the ninth. No need to cancel or reschedule, just pack an improving book, or a trashy sci-fi novel if that’s more your bag, and be prepared for a wait. Tugging on the grass does not make it grow faster.  

​

​Libra (Sept 23 - Oct 22) 

There’s money to be made this month, what with the Sun touring your ‘money zone’ and the Full Moon on the fifth boosting your financial acumen. An opportunity is set to show up on the 20th, so be ready to pounce, but save the last few days of November for romance and sparkle. Who doesn’t love sparkle?
