WITH LILITH

This exciting, unpredictable, edgy week crackles with fiery promise after the weepy emotionality of recent times. It's neither tepid, tame nor entirely drama free.CANCER Jun 22 Jul 23 If you suspect people are not telling you the whole story this week, perhaps they are not, but the waves of change affecting you during lunar eclipses are not superficial ones so it's important to constantly direct your energy in the way that serves you best, moment to moment. Keep taking deep breaths and listen to your intuition, which is second to none.LEO Jul 24 Aug 23 : The world has its degree of dreary people but it's your cat majesty's astral duty to transmute all joyless energy through as many lavish belly laughs as you can, or at least have fun trying. This is a peak week for Leos, though generous gestures plus a few extravagances could cause an uproar in the disorderly house of your wallet.VIRGO Aug 24 Sep 23: The weekend moon is in Virgo, but why waste it at home get into the social whirl of expansive promises and plans. But remember present astral elements are predominantly fire and air which combine to produce yes, hot air, so take whatever is inspiring from the pyrotechnic play of ideas but don't rely on follow through.LIBRA Sep 24 Oct 23: You will get plenty of exercise this week coping with people's ego trips, and someone who could be extremely helpful to you financially could be one of those trippers. Though not normally recommended, the F word could be used to advantage (no, not that one) because flattery attracts people like flies to honey.SCORPIO Oct 24 Nov 22: This week's bravura brightens your perspective, heightens your star quality and attracts some hot new admirers to the pleasure centres of Planet Scorp lucky you. If someone is keeping a secret, you're the one most likely to know what it is, though this knowledge will need tactful handling, especially during Friday's edgy energies.SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 Dec 21: With this look-good, feel-good week's celestial warmth rebooting your vigour, life returns again to the incredible adventure it really is. A red-hot social calendar is likely to have you on the run, but be aware that too much multitasking will make you accident prone, especially around Friday's racy Sagittarius moon.CAPRICORN Dec 22 Jan 20: You are already blessed with drive, determination and diligence, and this week adds sassy style. It's worth paying special attention to insights that point towards new avenues for your business interests. Though if these are in any way iffy, no matter how attractively presented, say thanks but no thanks.AQUARIUS Jan 21 Feb 19: The present astral menu should satisfy your appetite for excitement with its high spirits and lavish laughs. If you're in the mood to live it up and seize the day, this week delivers life shimmying invitingly on a plate. For Aquarians in a more moderate mode it still appreciates a bit of cheek and bold moves.PISCES Feb 20 Mar 20: With planetary energy in the sign of self-publicising, this week urges you to showcase ideas or yourself. Dress to impress; present aspects admire a touch of flair so go ahead, knock their socks off. Even if others don't know it, your fluid attitude is just what the present hot dry astral climate needs.ARIES Mar 21 Apr 20: If you are into thrills (and what Aries isn't?) this week's astro-picture doesn't disappoint. You will love its entertaining games and dramatic shenanigans, but there's definitely problem potential if you are too assertive while someone is having a fragile moment. Friday has accidents waiting to happen, so take care on the road, at the computer and more importantly, with the tongue.TAURUS Apr 21 May 21: Right now people want attention and plenty of it but they are definitely not into criticism so if you can't find something to admire, hold your fire. You might be ruled by reason but this week is motivated by passion, romance, ambition and style. Guaranteed to reacquaint even the most stay-at-home Taurean with their inner party animal.GEMINI May 22 Jun 21: An unexpected offer to sell an asset, even if the time might not seem right, is worth considering, as a follow-on effect could work well for you. Avoid signing contracts, though, until next week. During this unstable time keep things simple and don't decide until you are sure it's right.
