Cancer

Born between: June 21st - July 22nd

Supportive and encouraging those born under the Cancer sign are lovers that strive in the home setting. Traditional in their beliefs they are often conservative although they value unaccompanied time, greatly.

Once you accept that even the best-laid plans could go awry today, you'll find that life is a lot easier to cope with. So try your hardest to take everything in your stride, even if you do have to rethink an arrangement at the eleventh hour. At least it's never a dull moment! Do your best not to let the tensions of the day spoil what promises to be some spectacular New Year's Eve celebrations. It will be an opportunity to let off steam. Have fun! Outrageous colours are shimmering purple and shimmering pink. Lucky numbers are 18 and 60.
 
Discussions and meetings go really well today because you're finding it easy to put your thoughts into words. You'll also show that you respect other people's viewpoints even if they don't coincide with your own. It's a good day for making domestic plans, and some of these will be quite ambitious without being unrealistic or far-fetched. Liberating colours are spring green and silvery grey. Lucky numbers are 40 and 77.
 
Be careful today Cancer, because your emotions could cloud certain issues as they often to and leave you feeling confused. You should be especially wary of believing what you want to believe, rather than believing the evidence in front of your eyes. It's easy to kid yourself now about someone's motives or reliability, even if deep down you know that you're telling yourself a load of old twaddle. Stable colours are navy and tan. Lucky numbers are 7 and 52.
 
You've got so much charm and diplomacy today that you'll sail through all your encounters with other people. Things will go particularly well if you're at work, and you might even manage to smooth over a tricky moment with a certain person who normally causes a fuss. If you're taking part in a negotiation or interview, you'll be thrilled with your contribution. Delightful colours are pumpkin and burnished gold. Lucky numbers are 37 and 25.
 
Romance is never far away today and it will fill you with joy. If you've been hoping to kiss a certain person under the mistletoe but have despaired that it would ever happen, your wish could come true now. If you fancy trying your luck in the sales you'll find some great bargains, but try not to get carried away and bring home the whole shop. Romantic colours are champagne and jade. Lucky numbers are 34 and 15.
 
Today's Full Moon is offering you the chance to make sweeping and long-lasting changes to your life, and to clear the ground for some fertile growth in 2005. As a Cancerian you don't like endings, but you must now bring an end to any situation or relationship that is holding you back or has passed its sell-by date. Look forward, not back, if you want a glittering future. Positive colours are ochre and charcoal. Lucky numbers are 20 and 28.
 
Despite the frazzled nature of the past few days, it looks like being a fabulous Christmas Day. You're all doing your best to sparkle and entertain, with one person being the star of the show. To put the icing on the cake, you might get a surprise phone call from someone who lives a long way away and who you weren't expecting to hear from. Ideal colours are fuschia and jet black. Lucky numbers are 24 and 40.
 
Take things gently otherwise you'll end up running round in ever-decreasing circles. Yes, you may still have a lot to do but you won't achieve very much if you develop butterfingers or waste all your energy on a full-blown panic. Maybe you could rope someone into helping you, rather than doing your Cinderella act in the kitchen while everyone else takes it easy? Advantageous colours are turquoise and cinnamon. Lucky numbers are 39 and 39.
 
If you have children at home they'll be really playful today and quite a handful at times. Encourage them to burn off all their energy during the day otherwise it will be a case of tears before bedtime. There could also be a fractious atmosphere between you and a loved one, and this will quickly escalate into a row if you aren't careful. Calming colours are sky blue and pale pink. Lucky numbers are 24 and 65.
 
If you're busy with a last-minute Christmas shopping trip it will be easy to lose track of how much you're spending, particularly if you're in a panic and desperate to tick off every name on your list. However, you might be in for a nasty shock later on when you tot up the massive amount of money that you parted with. So try to keep a running total in your head or stick to a strict budget for each gift. Indulgent colours are rose pink and dark red. Lucky numbers are 17 and 31.
 
The next four weeks are going to be really interesting and enjoyable, because the accent will be on your relationships. You might have a wonderful encounter with someone special, and there's even a chance that you could embark on a new partnership. This is certainly a time for teamwork rather than going it alone, even if it's only a temporary measure. Opportunistic colours are russet and chocolate. Lucky numbers are 21 and 28.
 
There have been times this month when communications have gone haywire but at long last they start to return to normal today. And not before time, especially if you've got to unravel some problems before the Christmas holidays begin. It's a terrific day for reaching decisions about your work or health, provided you're prepared to stick with them. Communicative colours are passionfruit and lavender. Lucky numbers are 32 and 70.
 
Thank goodness the atmosphere is starting to cool down and you're in a better frame of mind! That's just as well because you're capable of achieving a tremendous amount today, especially if you can pace yourself and make the best use of your considerable energy. It's a really good day for creative activities and these will help to blow away the cobwebs from yesterday. Beneficial colours are lemon and lime. Lucky numbers are 20 and 69.
 
If you thought yesterday was fraught with tension the temperature rises a few notches again today. What's eating you? Maybe you're annoyed because your spare time is being eroded by duties that are weighing heavily on your shoulders. You might also be miffed by the flippant attitude of a certain person who you think should be taking life a lot more seriously. Calm down or you'll blow a gasket. Harmonious colours are azure and coffee. Lucky numbers are 27 and 49.
 
Hold it! You need to approach things in a calm, controlled manner today otherwise you're likely to get yourself into a state in no time at all. That's especially likely if you're trying to meet a deadline because you'll start to panic and then become all fingers and thumbs. You might also get extremely ratty with anyone who gets in your way or asks stupid questions. Come on, is that fair? Opportunistic colours are ginger and vermilion. Lucky numbers are 30 and 53.
 
An air of co-operation and harmony surrounds your working life from today, which is just what you need if you've been wondering how to improve your relationship with a colleague or customer. Things should start to go a lot more smoothly from today, provided you're willing to make the effort to be more conciliatory and easy-going yourself. Perhaps you need to set a good example? Harmonious colours are ochre and azure. Lucky numbers are 10 and 36.
 
What an amazing day! There's such a strong telepathic link between you and a certain someone that there is almost no need for words. You'll know what each other is thinking and will feel as though you're with a kindred spirit. This is bound to set you wondering about the purpose of your relationship, and you may even suspect that you were destined to know one another. Fortunate colours are charcoal grey and mustard yellow. Lucky numbers are 35 and 59.
 
You've got high hopes about someone or something today, and you're confident that everything will turn out well. If a positive attitude is a guarantee of a positive outcome then you have nothing to worry about. But is it? There's a chance that you're being far too optimistic, and confusing fantasy with fact. If so, you'll be in for a big disappointment. Auspicious colours are lemon and russet. Lucky number is 19.
 
This is a fantastic day for showing generosity and kindness towards loved ones. You might want to give a special person a treat, or let them know that you're thinking of them. It's also a great opportunity to strengthen the bond between you and you-know-who, because this will work wonders for your relationship and draw you even closer together. Fortunate colours are apricot and nutmeg. Lucky numbers are 35 and 47.
 
It's a busy month and today's New Moon reminds you not to neglect your health or general well-being. Maybe you should arrange a check-up with your doctor or dentist if it's overdue, or perhaps you need to follow up a medical query. This is hardly the best time of year to start a diet because it's the party season, but even so you might want to monitor your calorie intake. Ideal colours are lavender and amber. Lucky numbers are 9 and 78.
 
Ideally, you should spend today enjoying yourself as much as possible. It's exactly what you're in the mood for, so you'll do it really well. Any form of socializing will be good fun, especially if it's taking place at home. You'll do your best to ensure that everyone has fun, and will take extra trouble with the food and drink. Favourable colours are dark purple and champagne. Lucky numbers are 4 and 76.
 
Your mind is working well today, especially if you're hoping to cut a swathe through all the chores that are waiting for you. You'll get through them much quicker than usual, provided that you aren't interrupted by people who are longing to chat. Once they get started there will be no stopping them, so either be firm with them or pretend that you're about to go out and then lock your door so you can be left in peace. Practical colours are apple green and hazelnut. Lucky numbers are 40 and 15.
 
If you want to avoid having a row with someone, get out and about as much as possible today so you can work off all your nervous energy. If you stay in one place for too long you'll be in danger of becoming moody, and possibly even a right old crosspatch. You might also lose your temper with loved ones who are being bolshie or who have the audacity to disagree with you about something. Lighten up, Cancer! Expressive colours are pistachio and silvery blue. Lucky numbers are 22 and 51.
 
Someone dear to your heart isn't exactly a barrel of laughs today, are they? Is it your imagination or are they taking a perverse delight in spreading doom and gloom in all directions? If they've got good reason to be miserable then they deserve your sympathy, but even so it may not last for long. Try to keep active and cheerful, otherwise you'll also develop a tendency to brood. Beneficial colours are navy and gold. Lucky numbers are 20 and 69.
 
Your powers of concentration are finely honed today, enabling you to focus on something to the exclusion of all else. This is just what you need if you're hoping to make a big dent in your workload or you're doing something very fiddly or detailed. But it's important that you know when to stop, otherwise you might get really weary and lose your effectiveness. Positive colours are sage green and golden honey. Lucky numbers are 11 and 39.
 
Christmas is only round the corner and it's time to take your preparations in hand. Get out those lists and make sure they're up to date. If you haven't bought your cards yet you should dash round the shops as soon as possible. A little forward planning will work wonders now, so start organizing your time with military efficiency. Dynamic colours are black and persimmon. Lucky numbers are 29 and 61.
 
It's a hectic day for your love life, so be prepared! If you've been trying to hide your feelings for you-know-who, they could spill out now in an unstoppable rush. Everything that follows will be X- rated. If you're already happily paired up with someone, the atmosphere between you will be exciting, combustible and sexy. Fortunate colours are peach and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 8 and 22.
 
Follow your instincts today, particularly if they lead you towards creative activities or they tell you to pour your heart out to someone. You might also get the urge to protect someone or take care of them, and even more so if they aren't feeling very well at the moment. If you're at work, something strange but wonderful could happen with a colleague. What does it all mean? Beneficial colours are aubergine and bronze. Lucky numbers are 2 and 68.
 
You're in a highly romantic mood today, which is great if you're with your beloved and you trust them implicitly. You'll have a wonderful time together and the rest of the world will just melt away. But try to be a little more realistic if you're dealing with money matters because there's a strong chance that someone is trying to manipulate you or part you with what's rightfully yours. Alternatively, you may be trying something similar with them, even though you daren't admit it to yourself. Dreamy colours are burgundy and pale pink. Lucky numbers are 5 and 67.
 
You're much more in command of your emotions today, which is just as well because you'll get a lot done if you try. You'll be especially effective when it comes to clearing your desk of all the paper that's covering it at the moment, and I'm not talking about shoving it on to the floor, either. If you've been waiting for news of a pay rise or bonus, it could arrive any minute now. Revealing colours are mauve and coffee. Lucky numbers are 30 and 51.
 
Take it easy today otherwise the most insignificant things will get you down in no time at all. If you get a difficult letter in the post or you have a tricky conversation with a loved one, your spirits will sink straight down to your ankles and stay there for the rest of the day. Life is not as tough as it seems right now, so keep reminding yourself of that fact. A bar of chocolate or a fistful of biscuits might help, too. Fortunate colours are ginger and spring green. Lucky numbers are 30 and 72.
 
Between now and mid December you'll have to be extra careful when attending to paperwork because a few mistakes could creep in somewhere along the line. There could also be glitches with computers or other appliances that you rely on, such as discovering that your printer has run out of ink five minutes before you have to get a letter in the post. Forewarned is forearmed, so be prepared! Auspicious colours are lime and beige. Lucky numbers are 38 and 8.
 
You're full of hope and brimming with faith today. It feels absolutely wonderful because you're convinced that everything is going to be all right, and you're also happy to take what people are saying at face value. However, if you're busy with a property or financial deal you shouldn't be too trusting because that could lead to problems. For instance, it might encourage someone to exploit you in some way. Fortunate colours are amethyst and walnut brown. Lucky numbers are 35 and 18.
 
Do your best to retain a sense of perspective in everything you do today, otherwise you could soon get bogged down in petty details or agonize about things that don't really matter. This is especially likely if you're still worrying about something and haven't yet done anything about it. Have a stern conversation with yourself and resolve to take action as soon as possible. Beneficial colours are sage green and honeycomb. Lucky numbers are 19 and 2.
 
You feel fantastic today! Buoyant, gregarious and ready to take whatever life has to offer. Of course, it helps that certain loved ones apparently can't get enough of your company right now and also that they're making a big fuss of you. If you're really lucky you might receive an early Christmas present or a special treat. Favourable colours are salmon pink and lemon. Lucky numbers are 9 and 1.
 
Something is nagging at you and it won't go away until you've done something about it. Yes, I know that the very thought of this is enough to make you grab some chocolate for emotional solace, but you have no choice. Besides, do you really want to fret and worry about this for much longer? You'll feel so much better when it's been sorted out. Soothing colours are aqua and apricot. Lucky numbers are 30 and 75.
 
If you're trying to sort out a debt or an official money matter you could easily get into a muddle today, so take things slowly and carefully. It doesn't help that you're easily distracted right now, with your mind rambling off in all sorts of unhelpful directions whenever you want it to concentrate on what's going on under your nose. Check what you're doing so you don't make mistakes. Ideal colours are bronze and navy. Lucky numbers are 1 and 75.
 
Are you ready to be dazzled and fascinated? That's exactly what is likely to happen now when you meet someone who enthrals and captivates you. It will be a case of eyes across a crowded room. This might never get any further than a delightful flirtation, or it could be the start of something so powerful that you'll feel as though you've been hit by lightning. Fortunate colours are blueberry and pineapple. Lucky numbers are 5 and 30.
 
Get set for a really satisfying day in which everything goes according to plan. If you're at work you'll enjoy a very happy and companionable atmosphere with colleagues, in which you help each other out or have a good old chat. A meeting or discussion will go well, too, because everyone seems keen to listen to everyone else. If you've got some good ideas, don't be afraid to mention them. Auspicious colours are brilliant white and crimson. Lucky numbers are 34 and 73.
 
Thank goodness you're feeling much more jolly today. You might laugh at yesterday's miserable mood if you've now realized that you were worrying about nothing, or you may simply be able to rise above it if the situation has continued. Ideally, you should do something that takes you out of yourself and sets you up for the week ahead. A change of scene might do the trick. Expressive colours are golden honey and jet black. Lucky numbers are 24 and 7.
 
The emotional temperature plummets by several degrees today, leaving you wondering what on earth is going on. It might seem that a loved one is giving you the cold shoulder, there's a delay in hearing from someone you adore or domestic problems are getting you down. Things may seem grim but perhaps you're imagining that they're worse than they really are. Harmonious colours are dark purple and lilac. Lucky numbers are 8 and 39.
 
Bring out your creative talents today. It will be a pleasure to concentrate on them and you'll be astonished at what you achieve. Don't be afraid to experiment or push yourself further than usual. For instance, you might try a complicated recipe that you'd normally ignore or you could be inspired to get out the paints and start making your own Christmas cards. Expressive colours are mulberry and cream. Lucky numbers are 6 and 36.
 
You're in a highly sensitive mood today, especially when it comes to close relationships. This means you'll either have complete awareness about your feelings for a certain person or you'll be lost in a fog of confusion. And it will be very difficult to tell the difference. Try not to make the situation worse by indulging in flights of fancy or deceiving yourself about anything. Beneficial colours are ivy green and peach. Lucky numbers are 11 and 16.
 
Your Angel is Gabriel, Cancer, who watches over all your strengths and weaknesses. The Angel that rules your sign is Muriel. Don't hesitate to call on either of your Angels if you need to, as they work hand in hand with the Stars. There's a glass wall separating you from a certain person, and it's impossible to break through it. Unless this is a problem that's been going on for some time it's unlikely to be anything to worry about and it will soon be over. Favourable colours are avocado and marmalade. Lucky numbers are 38 and 12.
 
Make a beeline for the nearest social event. You'll sparkle and charm your way through the proceedings, attracting lots of admiring glances along the way. If you've been conducting a light-hearted flirtation with you-know-who, what happens now will give you pause for thought. Are they getting serious about you, or are you falling for them? You can't help wondering. Beneficial colours are cherry pink and charcoal grey. Lucky numbers are 29 and 30.
 
Someone is in a very incisive mood today but they may not tell you what they're thinking about until they've made their decision. At that point, they could present you with a fait accompli. Will you care? Probably not, because you're in an easy going frame of mind. The question of a holiday or long-distance journey could come up at some point, filling you with excitement. Fortunate colours are golden honey and mother of pearl. Lucky numbers are 33 and 43.
 
Make the most of today's sociable mood, whether you're at home or at work. Either way you'll enjoy nattering to whoever happens to be around, and could have some interesting discussions as a result. All the same, take care not to dominate the conversation if it's obvious that your companion has something that they need to get off their chest. Positive colours are amber and silvery grey. Lucky numbers are 2 and 51.
 
It's wonderfully easy to talk to other people today, and there don't seem to be any of the usual constraints. You may even feel that some sort of telepathy is operating with a certain person because you're so in tune with each other. If you've been hoping that your relationship with a workmate will develop, things start to look very promising now. Favourable colours are russet and cream. Lucky numbers are 24 and 49.
 
Lucky you - you're poised on the brink of a glorious fortnight in which a special relationship is going to blossom and flourish. It might be an existing love affair which keeps getting better and better, or it could be a new alliance that hasn't begun yet. You could also hear some good news about a child or wedding any day now. Expansive colours are burgundy and jade. Lucky numbers are 1 and 74.
 
You're filled with a strong desire for enjoyment from today and it will last until late December. If you suspect that you're getting sluggish or, heaven forbid, putting on weight, this is an excellent opportunity to combine exercise with enjoyment. If the thought of going to the gym makes you want to go back to bed, how about fitting in half an hour's hectic dancing each day? Inspirational colours are terracotta and coffee. Lucky numbers are 30 and 52.
 
Your emotions are working overtime today so don't be surprised if you're held in the grip of some very strong feelings. You'll be especially susceptible to thoughts about the past, and you could indulge in a long reverie about days gone by. You might even want to look through old keepsakes or photos, or discuss your memories with someone who'll understand. Opportunistic colours are lemon and violet. Lucky numbers are 71 and 2.
 
Look on this as a day for catching up with the chores. This may not be very exciting at first but you'll soon get into the swing of it and will enjoy ticking the tasks off your list of things to do. If you work from home this is a good opportunity to make sure that your desk or office is arranged the way you like it. You might be able to make a few improvements, such as having a tidy-up. Liberating colours are jade and cinnamon. Lucky numbers are 30 and 47.
 
Peace breaks out today and it feels great. Even if you're still recovering from the weekend's events you'll manage to regain some equilibrium, helped by the gentle ministrations of a certain person. You definitely need some tender loving care right now, so make a beeline for anyone who'll give it to you. You'll also feel soothed when you're in relaxing or beautiful surroundings. Favourable colours are lavender and strawberry. Lucky numbers are 22 and 44.
 
This is turning out to be quite a weekend because once again you've got to cope with some tricky events. Today, there's a marked lack of co-operation between you and loved ones, and a certain so-and- so may even dig in their heels and refuse to budge over something. Let this get to you and you'll be chewing the carpet, so do your best to rise above it. Better try some more deep breathing. Delightful colours are lazuli and salmon. Lucky numbers are 8 and 47.
 
Life could get a bit hectic today, and you'll feel like a juggler with too many balls in the air. You'll have to cope with many different demands on your time, and plenty of other distractions to boot. What starts off as a mundane chore might end up being a total pain in the neck, or someone could drop a bombshell that causes a chain reaction leading to chaos. Try some deep breathing! Ideal colours are crimson and sunflower yellow. Lucky numbers are 36 and 58.
 
If you're celebrating Bonfire Night then you're set for a rip- roaring time. It's a fantastic day for a celebration and you'll want to throw yourself into it heart and soul. You'll pull out all the stops if you're the one who's giving the party, ensuring that it's even more exciting than the biggest fireworks you can find. Got nothing planned? Then organize something pronto! Beneficial colours are ivory and candy pink. Lucky numbers are 15 and 43.
 
Throughout the rest of 2004 you'll be kept pretty busy at work. You may have to deal with more paperwork than usual or you might be involved in lots of interviews or meetings. The key to success is to be as organized and efficient as possible, and not to get flummoxed when the heat is on. It may also help to ask workmates for their co-operation if you think that would help. Fortunate colours are jade and cherry. Lucky numbers are 34 and 61.
 
Someone got out of bed the wrong side this morning, as you'll discover when they start bellowing at you. Honestly, you'd think they could control their temper better than that, but it seems not. Now, before you go all sanctimonious you should ask yourself whether you might perhaps be doing something that's provoking this person into tearing their hair out. And it's a lot more likely than you might think, you know. Ideal colours are crimson and snow white. Lucky numbers are 26 and 15.
 
This is a fantastic day for getting your thoughts straight about something or someone. You're in a very practical and logical frame of mind right now, so you'll see things exactly as they are without any wishful thinking clouding the issue. Something else that goes well now is planning for a future party or social event. Get out your list and jot down the ideas that come to you. It might be anything from the need to hire some glasses to a decision about the venue. Inspirational colours are smoky pink and silvery green. Lucky numbers are 6 and 41.
 
You're in a very lively mood today and you're keen to do something that reflects it. Ideally, this should be a departure from your usual routine or a complete change of scenery. And if you can't manage anything like that immediately you should try to arrange it for later in the week, so you can look forward to it. Favourable colours are jet black and mulberry. Lucky numbers are 26 and 67.
 
You have a very generous heart today, and it's much in evidence today. This means you'll do what you can to help anyone in trouble, particularly if that means giving them some financial help. You might respond to a charity appeal in the paper or drop some coins into a collecting tin. If it's a loved one who needs your help, consider how you can do this without making them feel patronized or beholden to you. Ideal colours are mulberry and dark gold. Lucky numbers are 35 and 48.
 
Do yourself a favour and get together with someone who always makes you feel relaxed and comfortable. You're not in the mood for anyone who's challenging or brusque, even if you live with them, because you'll find them far too abrasive. It will do you good to have some time to yourself, perhaps reading a book or listening to a favourite piece of music. Soothing colours are silvery blue and silvery pink. Lucky numbers are 10 and 66.
 
Between now and late November you'll have a strong craving for comfort, affection and familiarity, and you'll want to satisfy it whenever possible. Yet you'll also be feeling pretty sociable, so perhaps you need to find a compromise by doing lots of entertaining at home. Speaking of your home, this will be a fabulous opportunity to do some practise your interior design skills. Revealing colours are irridescent green and shimmering pink. Lucky numbers are 3 and 29.
 
Today's eclipsed Full Moon focuses on your hopes and dreams for the future, so you need to concentrate on them during the next couple of weeks. If you suspect that one of your plans is never going to get anywhere, it would be a good idea to cut your losses and start again on something new. Better that than to waste your time flogging a dead horse. Passionate colours are bright red and sparkling gold. Lucky numbers are 39 and 18.
 
You're in troubleshooting mode today, so cast an eye around to see what needs to be fixed. It might be an appliance or machine that you rely on every day, such as your computer, car or the central heating boiler. Alternatively, it could be a relationship that needs some tender loving care. Either way, taking action now will help to prevent things getting any worse. Practical colours are chocolate and jade. Lucky numbers are 35 and 33.
 
Get cracking on personal projects and plans today because you'll be able to make a lot of progress. You might also have a very satisfying or heartwarming conversation with someone you see on a regular basis, such as a close relative or a near neighbour. They might offer to help you in some way or the encounter will help to cement your relationship. Ambitious colours are royal purple and mango. Lucky numbers are 37 and 39.
 
If you aren't careful you could take on too much today and be left wondering how on earth you're going to cope. You may also have to do some juggling between the demands of home and work, and then hope that no one catches you out. Although the situation is unlikely to lead to trouble, it could leave you feeling embarrassed if you have to admit defeat and give up on something. Positive colours are platinum and avocado. Lucky numbers are 21 and 71.
 
This is a super day for showing off your brainpower, whether you do it through study, by testing your wits with a puzzle or in the course of a conversation. You've got an enquiring mind right now and will enjoy researching a subject in detail. You are likely to hear from someone who lives overseas, perhaps when they ring for a chat or send you an email. Communicative colours are dark pink and shell pink. Lucky numbers are 2 and 36.
 
Life has a lot to offer during the coming four weeks, with laughter, love and enjoyment high on the list of things you can look forward to. If you're a solo Cancerian at the moment, that might soon change when you meet someone who sweeps you off your feet. Even if you don't embark on a romantic relationship you could make a new friend now. Adventurous colours are mustard yellow and aubergine. Lucky numbers are 39 and 76.
 
You've got plenty of energy and enthusiasm, which will help to propel you through the day and ensure that you get a lot done. It's an especially good day for getting on with household chores or creating order out of chaos in the garden. At some point you may want to set a loved one right about a financial matter but don't be a bully about it. Favourable colours are peach blossom and amber. Lucky numbers are 3 and 30.
 
Love and money don't mix today and they might even curdle at some point. That's because a certain someone is raising objections to the cost of something, or thinks they can tell you what to spend your money on. If you aren't careful the situation could rapidly descend into a slanging match in which you compete with each other to see who can be the most petty. Peaceful colours are dusky rose and smoky quartz. Lucky numbers are 36 and 37.
 
You've been busily making plans connected with your family or home lately but you hit some snags today. You might encounter delays, with work not starting when you want it to, or someone might let you down. There is even a chance that a member of the family will change their mind about something they agreed to recently, leaving you in a difficult position. But don't panic! Beneficial colours are turquoise and apricot. Lucky numbers are 15 and 51.
 
A certain person is in a very expansive and jolly mood. However, you may decide that a little of them goes a long way. For instance, their laugh might get on your nerves after a while, or you could decide that their self-confidence seems more like boasting to you. It's not that you dislike them, simply that you can definitely have too much of a good thing sometimes. Expansive colours are golden honey and pistachio. Lucky numbers are 7 and 34.
 
It's a good day for getting someone on your side, especially if you're working with them. You won't have to do very much to make this happen, either, and they may even co-operate without being asked. Take a look around your home or workplace to check that everything is okay and nothing needs to be mended, cleaned or replaced. Fortunate colours are raspberry and pineapple. Lucky numbers are 22 and 48.
 
A loved one is terrific company today and they've got some brilliant ideas, too, even though some of these may make you want to raise your eyebrows in surprise or disbelief. The prospect of travel could come up at some point and you'll relish the thought of it. You might even be tempted to consider visiting somewhere that you've never been before. Auspicious colours are copper and bright pink. Lucky numbers are 38 and 8.
 
You're in a very practical frame of mind today and will enjoy proving it. Creative and artistic ventures really appeal to you at the moment, so what do you have in mind? Choose an activity that will enable you to express yourself in some way, and don't worry if it's fit only for the bin when you've finished. Remember, practice makes perfect! Creative colours are burgundy and aqua. Lucky numbers are 10 and 70.
 
Throughout the rest of the month you'll really enjoy using your brain, whether it's for business or pleasure. It will certainly be a wonderful time for losing yourself in a good book, and you might even decide to write your own. If you're the sort of Cancerian who likes to plan ahead, you could be inspired to start writing all your Christmas cards. It will be great to get them out of the way so early on. Fortunate colours are bright purple and jade. Lucky numbers are 16 and 67.
 
There is tremendous astrological emphasis on your home and family life at the moment and today's New Moon gives you even more encouragement to make improvements to your domestic world. If you're hoping to move house soon you could hear good news any day now. A domestic plan might also get the green light at long last, much to your relief. Prosperous colours are violet and white. Lucky numbers are 7 and 16.
 
You may love them dearly but you must admit that a certain person isn't exactly the jolliest company in the world today. They seem to be taking a perverse delight in being gloomy and pessimistic, especially if they can compare the present day unfavourably with the past. If you're waiting for something to be delivered to your home you may discover it's been delayed. Harmonious colours are peacock blue and sunflower yellow. Lucky numbers are 20 and 34.
 
This is a day for making the most of your home comforts, so you might be tempted to light the fire, cook a delicious meal and be as lazy as humanly possible. If you were supposed to be going out at some point, you may even make an excuse so you can stay at home instead. If you're supposed to be watching your weight, stay well away from the cake tin. Beneficial colours are burnished gold and lavender. Lucky numbers are 23 and 44.
 
Someone's being a bit of an old bossy-boots today and they're determined to tell you what to do. You'll encounter them through a day- to-day activity, so they might be a neighbour, colleague or close relative. Although you won't take kindly to being spoken to like this, you should try to avoid getting drawn into a barbed exchange in which neither of you is seen in a good light. Expressive colours are russet and terracotta. Lucky numbers are 8 and 56.
 
Someone is very outspoken and blunt today. You may well suspect that they're doing it deliberately in order to shock you or to get everyone's attention. Even if this is an all-too-familiar ploy that you thought you were immune to by now, it will still have the power to get under your skin. How irritating! Work off steam by doing something energetic or therapeutic. Inspirational colours are butterscotch and kiwifruit. Lucky numbers are 32 and 52.
 
If you've decided to improve your home in some way you'll get the urge to go shopping today. You might want to be strictly practical and buy some paint or wallpaper, or you may be thinking along fancier lines and have an urge to see what furniture is on offer. Take someone along to keep you company and also to give their opinion if you start to dither. Favourable colours are ebony and ivory. Lucky numbers are 9 and 57.
 
Keep a close eye on all financial transactions today because they could easily be prone to silly slip-ups or deliberate mistakes. Check your change or make sure you've been charged the right amount on your credit card. If you're shopping in the supermarket, scrutinize your bill to check you haven't been over-charged for something. Fortunate colours are lavender and silvery grey. Lucky numbers are 15 and 62.
 
You're in a sober mood and have a tendency to take things rather seriously today. If life gets really tough you might even lose your sense of humour for a brief spell, which would be a shame because it's exactly what you need to carry you through a tricky day. In addition to all this you may be feeling more tired than usual, so try to get as much rest as possible. Favourable colours are dark green and hazelnut. Lucky numbers are 40 and 60.
 
One of your nearest and dearest isn't exactly the easiest company in the world today. They're showing signs of going into a huff or a mighty sulk, and you'll probably wonder what you've done wrong. Well, you won't have to wonder for long because you're bound to be told sooner or later, probably in quite strident tones. Now you'll feel offended, but haven't they got a point? Favourable colours are mauve and passionfruit. Lucky numbers are 19 and 35.
 
This is an excellent day for a good, long chat with a member of the family. You might have something important to discuss, in which case things should go really well, or you may simply enjoy having a meandering natter about whatever pops into your head. It's highly likely that your thoughts will turn to the past at some point, putting you in a very nostalgic mood. Fortunate colours are caramel and chocolate. Lucky numbers are 39 and 25.
 
This is one of those days when worries have a tendency to build up inside your mind, making you feel anxious. The trouble is that the more you allow this to happen, the more helpless and panicky you'll become. If you're concerned about a health problem you should seek expert advice as soon as possible to put your mind at rest. Auspicious colours are claret and khaki. Lucky numbers are 2 and 30.
 
You'll be the star of any social scene during the next three weeks, so it would be an awful shame to spend too much time by yourself if you can possibly avoid it. You won't have to stray too far from home, either, because it looks as though you'll be in great demand with neighbours and close relatives. In fact, one local event could lead to more invitations than you know what to do with. Beneficial colours are mother of pearl and deep gold. Lucky numbers are 37 and 4.
 
If you're going shopping today you'll be tempted to splash out on all sorts of little treats. You may even be encouraged to do this by a friend, who probably wants you to spend money so they can feel better about their own extravagance. You'll have to exert an iron will if you really don't want to spend more money than you can afford. Indulgent colours are apricot and silver. Lucky numbers are 11 and 43.
 
Is someone being completely honest with you? It doesn't seem that way at the moment, so be wary of believing everything they say. Maybe they're trying to protect your feelings in some way, and giving you the old soft soap treatment. But there's also a chance that some form of deception is going on, and that they're hoping you won't notice. So be on your guard, just in case. Powerful colours are bronze and midnight blue. Lucky numbers are 13 and 18.
 
What's up? Yesterday you were almost dancing on the ceiling, yet today you can barely raise your head off the floor. You're in a very downbeat and unhappy mood, probably made worse by the difficulties you appear to be facing. Although you may not believe it right now, you're making mountains out of molehills and most of your problems aren't nearly as grim as they seem. Try to take a more positive approach before you sink into a pit of despair. Empowering colours are raspberry and charcoal grey. Lucky numbers are 3 and 15.
 
This is a fantastic day in which all your energies are being channelled towards your home and family. You believe that you're capable of achieving almost anything right now, and you might even be able to pull a couple of rabbits out of hats if necessary. Although it's exhilarating to be so far-sighted and optimistic, it would be a shame to waste your efforts on projects that are way beyond your time, scope or pocket. Stick to what you know you can do, and then marvel at the results. Harmonious colours are spring green and silver. Lucky numbers are 19 and 58.
 
How are your career plans and long-term goals coming along? If they've been sidelined recently then it's time to do something about it. On the other hand, if you're feeling totally bogged down by your current responsibilities or workload to the detriment of your home life, then you need to redress the balance and to do so as quickly as possible. Beneficial colours are taupe and dark pink. Lucky numbers are 14 and 48.
 
You have an enormous amount of emotional and physical resilience today, and it would be a shame to waste them. You might be inspired to get out the paintbrush at home or do some DIY, or to sort out some old belongings even though this will bring a tear to your eye. This is also a day for defending your beliefs and standing up for yourself. Prosperous colours are banana and crimson. Lucky numbers are 24 and 40.
 
Your brain is working like a well-oiled piece of machinery today, and it's a pleasure to use it because the results will be so worthwhile. You might decide to pit your wits against the crossword in your Sunday paper, get involved in a pithy discussion with someone or write those letters you've been putting off recently. It's also a good day to map out the foundations of a new project. Dynamic colours are jade and lilac. Lucky numbers are 32 and 55.
 
Part of the backdrop of your life changes from today, and during the coming year your domestic world will blossom and expand in many different ways. This might lead to a change of residence, someone new being welcomed into the family or an increased enjoyment in the company of your nearest and dearest. You'll have a lot to look forward to! Harmonious colours are peach blossom and dark orange. Lucky numbers are 18 and 26.
 
Hmm, strange things are going on with colleagues today. Someone is being remarkably friendly and helpful, but you might be wondering if they've got a secret agenda. What do they want from you in return? Is it your body, your money or your undying gratitude? Be wary about taking favours from people who might try to use them against you later on. It's not worth it! Empowering colours are deep purple and antique gold. Lucky numbers are 7 and 75.
 
Take a look around your home today and try to view it with as dispassionate an eye as possible. Is it neat and tidy? Does it look as though it's been hit by a whirlwind? And how about the fixtures and fittings? If you've been promising yourself for ages that you'll change the kitchen, update the bathroom or revamp the garden, you might decide to get cracking now. Harmonious colours are pistachio and marmalade. Lucky numbers are 31 and 56.
 
Home is where your heart is if you're a typical Cancerian, and during the coming month it will be where you're happiest. You may even be reluctant to stray too far from familiar haunts, or will choose to stay at home sometimes rather than go out. If you haven't seen some members of the clan for a while you could be inspired to organize a reunion. Comforting colours are violet and silver. Lucky numbers are 33 and 49.
 
You're so full of optimism today that you could probably bottle it, if you could only figure out a way to do it. Mind you, you're in the sort of mood where anything is possible. You have very high hopes right now, but try not to get carried away and waste your time on projects that are obviously pie in the sky or far too ambitious even for you. You need to introduce a little realism! Empowering colours are ruby red and sapphire blue. Lucky numbers are 15 and 51.
 
The more details you have to keep track of today, the more likely you are to end up going round in circles. That's because you'll soon get into a muddle, with pieces of paper flying around in all directions. Do yourself a favour and work systematically, starting with whatever is most urgent. You should also give yourself frequent breaks so your mind remains fresh and fully active. Auspicious colours are lemon and lime. Lucky numbers are 29 and 52.
 
You've been in quite a serious mood during the past couple of days but today you need a little light relief, and social settings are the best way to find it. If you don't have anything planned, remedy that immediately by getting on the phone to a friend or arranging to do something with the rest of the family. Even going out for a drink or a walk will make you feel better. Harmonious colours are avocado and hazelnut. Lucky numbers are 17 and 31.
 
Adopt a 'can do' approach whenever possible today because it will make a huge difference to the outcome of whatever you tackle. Believing in yourself is half the battle right now, and it will fill you with the confidence you need to succeed. If you've got to stand your ground with someone, do it now while you're quietly determined and self-assured. Soothing colours are turquoise and ivory. Lucky numbers are 17 and 45.
 
You're blessed with masses of commonsense today so it's ideal for looking over current plans and projects, and making sure that they've been organized as efficiently as possible. If they contain any snags you'll stand a good chance of spotting them, and also of knowing what to do about them. It may help to put your ideas down on paper so you can refer back to them later on. Prosperous colours are smoky quartz and bright purple. Lucky numbers are 3 and 67.
 
It's a super day for dreaming up ways to invest money in your home and family. If you can't spare much cash you might buy a bunch of flowers for one of the rooms or hunt out some bargains in your local market. If you can afford more than that you might want to consider buying some new soft furnishings or some beautiful artefacts. Auspicious colours are navy and purple. Lucky numbers are 31 and 28.
 
Someone is in a tearing hurry and they'll get really ratty if they think you're slowing them up or not responding as quickly as they'd like. Are you genuinely doing your best to keep pace or are you secretly trying to get under their skin? If you're the person with one eye on the clock, don't waste valuable energy by getting into a flap because that will be a sure-fire way to turn into a butterfingers. Favourable colours are cream and moonlight blue. Lucky numbers are 17 and 6.
 
If you've fallen out with someone recently or the atmosphere has been slightly cool between you, today's New Moon is encouraging you to do something about it during the rest of the month. Rather than wait for the other person to make the first move, it will be far better if you do it. But if you say sorry, make sure that you sound as though you mean it. Uplifting colours are ivory and lilac. Lucky numbers are 4 and 58.
 
Machines and appliances are likely to play up today, probably just when you need them most. For instance, your computer might go on the blink, your printer might run out of ink or the phone could go wonky. You may also have to endure the inaccurate or unbelievable nonsense that's being spouted by a certain person who thinks you should take everything they say as gospel. Prosperous colours are dark gold and bronze. Lucky numbers are 24 and 53.
 
It looks like being a difficult day, so be careful. Changes are in the wind, arousing a tremendous amount of opposition. If you want to make some improvements to an area of your life, a certain person will confront you head-on. Are they over-reacting or are you being too demanding, dictatorial and draconian? Favourable colours are silvery grey and ruby red. Lucky numbers are 31 and 67.
 
You're lost in thought today, making it difficult to concentrate on anything that requires a clear head. What's more, you're very susceptible to the charms of a certain person right now, and thoughts of them may intrude whenever you try to focus on anything else. You'll enjoy daydreaming about them, but don't confuse fantasy and wishful thinking with reality. Favourable colours are lemon and lime. Lucky numbers are 27 and 5.
 
You're in a very expressive state at the moment and you become even more voluble from today. This is a wonderful opportunity to get your point across but it's essential that you fight against any tendency to yak away without letting anyone else get a look in. If this happens you'll lose your audience, which would be a shame because you have many interesting things to say at the moment. Stabilising colours are cream and pale orange. Lucky numbers are 30 and 21.
 
There are days when you're tongue-tied and days, like this one, when words flow from you in an almost effortless stream. You'll come up with all sorts of interesting things to say. However, don't prattle on just for the sake of it because you could make a big impact on a certain person, particularly if you want to leave them spellbound by your tremendous charm and wit. Ambitious colours are maroon and apple green. Lucky numbers are 33 and 70.
 
If you want to make the best of the day you should switch activities every now and then to prevent yourself getting bored. Once you get restless you won't be able to settle down to anything for long. It's a terrific day for dreaming up travel plans, and you could have a very happy time looking through holiday brochures or gazing at the atlas. Soothing colours are primrose and russet. Lucky numbers are 6 and 25.
 
Someone's in a gushy mood today. It may make them rather sentimental or expansive, and it could also encourage them to make promises that they can't deliver. So try to bear this in mind if they start telling you things that seem too good to be true. You should also try your hardest not to fall into this embarrassing trap yourself. Auspicious colours are cinnamon and charcoal. Lucky numbers are 4 and 26.
 
Throughout the rest of the month you'll have to fight against the tendency to be extravagant and to spend money like water. Of course, there's nothing to worry about if you're feeling flush, but it won't be such good news if you're trying to behave yourself whenever you go near the shops. Nevertheless, this will be a great time to invest in items of beauty or antiquity. Revealing colours are cornflower blue and sunflower yellow. Lucky numbers are 38 and 69.
 
You're having a very sociable time at the moment and it continues this Sunday. However, the astrological accent is about to change so you'd be well advised to cram in as much socializing as possible today. If you want to ask a favour of a friend, try to do it now while you stand a good chance of striking lucky. Maybe you could give them a treat in return? Inspirational colours are lavender and silver. Lucky numbers are 34 and 56.
 
Whatever else you happen to be doing today you should try to set aside some time to think about your hopes and dreams for the future. You could have some brainwaves about them, even if all you can do at the moment is to jot them down in your diary. A conversation with a friend goes well, particularly if you want to talk about something specific. Lucky colours are peach and burgundy. Lucky numbers are 29 and 24.
 
This is another day for making the most of your social skills while they're in such abundance. Once again you'll enjoy mixing with people you know well, but you might also get the chance to make some new acquaintances at some point. If you've been toying with the idea of enrolling in a club or society, you might decide to bite the bullet now and it's certainly a great opportunity to do so. Ideal colour is aqua. Lucky numbers are 8 and 6.
 
You're in the mood to have some fun today! It's a wonderful day for getting together with close friends and family, or for inviting some neighbours round to your place. The fact that you're currently oozing charm and warmth will stand you in good stead, and might even mean that you attract the notice of someone who boosts your ego in the most delectable ways. Sometimes life is almost too good to be true! Beneficial colours are mango and navy. Lucky numbers are 37 and 43.
 
You're in a generous mood today, especially if you suspect that someone is struggling to keep their head above water financially. You'll do what you can to help yet you'll never lose sight of their need to keep their dignity. If you're trying to unravel a financial problem of your own at the moment you'll make progress now by talking to someone in authority. Revealing colours are violet and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 4 and 29.
 
You're in a very sober and reflective mood today, and it will affect your emotions. As a result, you won't be nearly as demonstrative or loving as usual, which may make certain people wonder what's going on. If they seem to be hurt by your current attitude it's only kind to tell them how you feel, otherwise they'll wonder if they've done something wrong or whether you're going off them.
 
The next two weeks will present you with some interesting problems concerning your morals and beliefs. You'll be faced with a difficult question that can't be resolved as easily as you might at first imagine, and you may even have to do some soul-searching before you can come up with a satisfactory solution.
 
The atmosphere is rather fraught today, which could soon lead to a ding-dong with someone. The vexed questions of money and sex are especially likely to make the fur fly, so mention them at your peril. If you aren't the one who wants to pick a fight it will be your other half, and they'll be like a terrier with a bone. Do you honestly have the energy for it?
 
Your Cancerian intuition is working well today, particularly when thinking about a close partner. You might instinctively know that they're about to phone you, or you have such an intense dream about them that you can't stop thinking about them when you wake up. It's a day for following your gut feelings and you may be getting a strong hunch about this person.
 
Introduce plenty of variety into your day, otherwise life will start to take on a rather stale and sluggish quality. Once this happens you'll do almost anything to liven things up again, which might mean stirring up trouble. It will be far better to skip your usual routine and have a change of scene, preferably involving some exercise so you can burn up any excess nervous energy.
 
A certain person is never far from your thoughts today, and after a while you'll long to see them. If they live a long way away, you'll have a tendency to dream about them or to look through old photos so you can see their face. If they're close by, you'll want to get together with them and could get quite huffy if they aren't available or they've got other fish to fry. Take it easy!
 
Ideally, you should get all dressed up and then head for the nearest social event because that's exactly what you're in the mood for today. You're feeling very convivial and outgoing, whether you're with people that you know like the back of your hand or total strangers. If you've recently moved house, you might meet one of your new neighbours and quickly turn them into a friend.
 
If you're a typical Cancerian you have a very big heart and it's much in evidence today. You might decide to tuck someone under your wing or give them a hug because you know they're going through a bad time. You're also prepared to listen to their tale of woe without taking sides or giving them unsolicited advice, and they'll be everlastingly grateful to you.
 
Let's face it, you could talk the hind leg off a donkey or the ears off your best friend today. You've got plenty to say and you'll jump at the chance to get it off your chest. You may have a burning desire to impart some fascinating news, but try not to hog the conversation completely so that everyone else has no choice but to listen or to walk away. If you aren't careful, they'll do the latter through sheer boredom. Not good news.
 
Now you'll enjoy improving the way you communicate with others, as the blazing Sun dives into Virgo and your third house of communications and creativity. Why not invest in a new program or upgrade your computer, boost your mobile phone or simply treat yourself to some writing paper and a book of stamps. Take more trouble with the way you express yourself, especially if you sometimes give people the wrong impression.
 
If you need to cheer yourself up after yesterday's miserable mood, a little retail therapy won't go amiss. You'll especially enjoy looking for items that will brighten up your home or turn your kitchen into a 21st-century temple of efficiency. If you're feeling broke at the moment, you'll have to restrict yourself to snapping up bargains at the grocers or the supermarket. Oh well!
 
Your domestic life leaves something to be desired today, thanks to the low-key atmosphere. Maybe someone is feeling depressed and their mood is affecting everyone they meet, or perhaps you're the one who's down in the dumps. Either way, you won't help the situation by brooding on it, feeling sorry for yourself or taking out your feelings on whoever happens to be around.
 
It's another day when people are being wayward, awkward and laws unto themselves. Today you've got to listen to someone who's spouting complete drivel as far as you can make out. The trouble is that they don't want to know what you think, and may even be quite rude about it. To save your sanity, give yourself a complete change of scene until you've both calmed down.
 
Someone is determined to go their own way today and there doesn't seem to be much you can do about it. Actually, the more you try to persuade them against taking their current approach the keener they will be to prove their point. This means that even if you think this person is making a grave mistake, you'd be wise to keep your opinions to yourself for the time being.
 
You've certainly got your head screwed on the right way today, so make the most of it while it lasts. Your thoughts are running along very practical lines, yet you aren't averse to some positive thinking when you consider it's necessary. You'll score a resounding success if you're taking part in a discussion or negotiation today, because you'll know when to speak up and when to maintain a tactical silence.
 
How are your finances holding up? Are you feeling comfortably off at the moment or are you wondering how to make your money last until the end of the month? If you've barely got two pennies to rub together, take advantage of today's New Moon to do something about it. Maybe it's time to ask for help, or perhaps you simply need to adopt a much tougher fiscal strategy, and then stick to it?
 
You're blessed with charm and discretion today, so it's the perfect opportunity to discuss anything that requires a gentle touch. You should manage to navigate your way around any conversational difficulties with no trouble at all. Things may even go so well with a certain person that you'll wonder why you haven't tackled them before now, and will marvel that you were worried about doing so.
 
You'll be happiest if you can stay in a familiar environment today, such as your own neighbourhood. You'll enjoy chatting to the people you meet along the way, such as the person standing next to you in the supermarket queue or a fellow passenger on the bus. If you've got the time you'll enjoy catching up with your reading.
 
Anything could happen today, so be prepared! You might meet someone who has an electrifying effect on you, even if they aren't your usual type. You might only have a mad flirtation with each other, or this could be the start of a long-term relationship that will teach you exciting things about yourself and introduce you to a world that you never knew existed.
 
Can you improve your working environment, making it more comfortable or attractive? Scrutinize it as much as possible today, taking note of any changes that can be easily made as well as those that will require more thought or trouble. If you work from home, you might want to repair or replace any appliance that has been playing up or has outlived its usefulness.
 
Your feelings are close to the surface today, making you sensitive to what's going on around you. It will be very difficult to preserve a cool, calm and collected image if something ruffles you, because it will show on your face and in your behaviour. There's nothing wrong with that, but try not to over-react when dealing with things that don't merit such a fuss.
 
The next few weeks are great for putting as much effort into your communications as possible. If you've got something to say, this will definitely be the time to say it, especially if it requires courage. However, will you know when to be quiet? There's a chance that you might say too much at times, or come across as too aggressive and demanding. So take care!
 
Is something bugging you? It certainly seems that way, because you're feeling hot and bothered. You've also got a tendency to latch on to tiny details as though they were utterly essential, and then to pursue them doggedly. For instance, you might put someone through some rigorous questioning because you aren't quite sure what they're talking about.
 
A friend proves that they're a staunch supporter today, much to your delight. They won't want to make a big song and dance about it but you'll know that you've got their backing if you need it. You might also benefit from a chum's feedback, when they draw your attention to the facts but stop short of telling you exactly what to do.
 
Between now and early September you'll jump at the chance to pamper yourself. And you'll want to do it as often as possible! If you're still toying with the idea of changing your image in some way, it will be almost impossible to resist it this August. So treat yourself to some clothes, a change of hairstyle, some flattering make-up or anything else that appeals.
 
If you usually pride yourself on having both feet on the ground you'll wonder what on earth is going on. You might be in a very escapist mood or you may struggle to grasp what's happening, especially where financial matters are concerned. This isn't the best day for reaching decisions because you're in two minds about many things. You may also be undermined by others.
 
If you're trying to sort out a financial problem, don't hesitate to ask for expert advice. This might be your accountant or financial adviser, someone in your local bank or building society, or a friend whose opinion you respect. On the other hand, you may be the one who's doling out the advice, in which case you'll do your utmost to be as fair and sensible as possible.
 
It's easy to be carried away by romantic thoughts today, but the trouble is that they may have very little bearing on what's really happening. For instance, you might indulge yourself in a delicious reverie about you-know-who, neatly forgetting that what you're imagining is unlikely ever to take place. Fantasy is one thing but don't confuse it with the facts.
 
Any form of study will go well today because your powers of concentration have returned with a vengeance and your mind is behaving itself once again. You'll also take pleasure from gathering new facts or doing some research, and the results will be great if you can take a systematic and logical approach to what you're doing.
 
This is another day when your thoughts are flying in all directions. It may mean that you're rather absent-minded or distracted, so watch out if you're supposed to be concentrating on something important. At some point you could get embroiled in an argument about someone's beliefs or ideas, especially if you totally disagree with everything they're saying. Ouch!
 
Your mind is racing, filled with a whole host of different ideas. Keeping track of them will be about as easy as catching all the seeds from a dandelion, but write down as many of your brainwaves as possible without censoring them first. This isn't the right day to evaluate your thoughts because you've got your work cut out trying to capture and record them all.
 
Pay attention to your finances during the coming fortnight, especially if you've been pushing monetary matters to the back of your mind. Make sure that all your financial arrangements are running as smoothly as possible, and do something about it if they aren't. For instance, if you're fed up with the so-called service offered by your bank, you may decide that it's time to take your custom elsewhere. Powerful colours are peacock blue and ebony. Lucky numbers are 24 and 4.
 
If a relationship has been going through the doldrums lately, things will seem even worse than usual today. Yes, it's one of those days when you can't help taking a pessimistic view of whatever is bugging you, whether or not such a gloomy outlook is justified. If you're worried about driving a loved one away, they certainly won't want to be around you when you're pulling such a long face or being such a misery. Cheer up! Harmonious colours are russet and brass. Lucky numbers are 40 and 75.
 
This is a fantastic day for being spontaneous, especially if you're still feeling slightly rattled by what happened yesterday. So if someone suggests doing something on the spur of the moment, you'll be very tempted to say 'eyes'. You might also be thrilled when you bump into the last person you were expecting to see. Revealing colours are khaki and dark red. Lucky numbers are 4 and 43.
 
Tread carefully if you're at work today because the atmosphere between you and colleagues or clients could be very highly charged. Maybe someone is taking things too seriously or they're getting bogged down in petty details that you think are a complete waste of time. Even though you may long to give them a piece of your mind it might be wiser to button your lip. Lucky colours are pale gold and plum. Lucky numbers are 24 and 7.
 
You could be in for a surprise today, when you discover that a certain person means much more to you than you imagined. You may have to keep your feelings to yourself at this stage, perhaps because it wouldn't be appropriate to declare them or because you can't quite believe what's happening to you. Will this blow over or is it the start of something big? Bold colours are jet black and bright gold. Lucky numbers are 1 and 10.
 
You have a strong sense of responsibility today, especially when thinking about loved ones. You want to make sure that they're OK, and will do what you can to protect and help them. However, you must realize that you can't interfere if someone doesn't want you to, and all you can do is to offer moral support, letting them know that you'll be there if they need you. Positive colours are ochre and sunflower yellow. Lucky numbers are 6 and 13.
 
During the past couple of months you've had some uncomfortable scenes with a certain person about matters connected with health or work. Well, these problems raise their ugly heads again now, but this time you're offered the chance to lay them to rest once and for all. Nevertheless, you should be careful how you do this, because appearing to be dogmatic, intransigent or even a total bully will only make the situation worse than it already is. Healing colours are pure white and amethyst. Lucky numbers are 28 and 50.
 
If you're busy on some domestic improvements or planning a house move, prepare for some tedious delays today. Someone might let you down or things could simply take a lot longer than you expected. It will be horribly easy to take all this very personally, or to allow it to drag down your spirits, but you're probably being alarmist or panicking unnecessarily. Inspiring colours are pale grey and dark pink. Lucky numbers are 19 and 31.
 
You're in a wistful mood today, and could easily find that you're staring into space, lost in a wave of nostalgia. This won't be much help if you're supposed to be getting on with your work, but that's just the way your mind is working right now. However, you'll really come into your own if you can let your imagination run riot because it will produce some inspired thoughts. Prosperous colours are navy and tan. Lucky numbers are 2 and 19.
 
Over the next four weeks your values will be even more important to you than usual. You even have experiences that remind you about some of your priorities in life, especially if you've had to neglect them recently. These values will encompass everything from what you spend your money on to your beliefs and the code by which you live your life. Favourable colours are pale orange and lilac. Lucky numbers are 9 and 4.
 
Someone close to you is talking a lot of sense and it pays to listen carefully to them. However, don't expect them to get carried away with enthusiasm for anything because that isn't their style at the moment. You'll make steady progress if you're trying to sort out a neighbourhood problem, provided you aren't too ambitious and you don't ignore what's right in front of your eyes. Auspicious colours are silver and cherry blossom. Lucky numbers are 6 and 39.
 
It looks as though someone is planning a treat for you. If you're really lucky, it might turn out to be a surprise birthday party, in which case you'll have to pretend that you didn't know anything about it. Enjoyment is certainly on the cards, and you'll adore getting together with friends and close relatives. You should also receive a compliment that has you blushing like a beetroot. Adventurous colours are rust red and charcoal grey. Lucky numbers are 31 and 1.
 
You're in rather a headstrong mood today, especially when it comes to your finances. You want everything to go your way and will get really annoyed if they don't. You'll also be impatient if you think you're getting sloppy service, perhaps because you have to wait ages in the queue at the bank, or because a shop assistant doesn't seem to know what they're doing. Calm down! Positive colours are scarlet and agate. Lucky numbers are 26 and 12.
 
You'll be happiest today if you can concentrate on the activities and people that you truly value. For instance, you might want to see someone who always makes you feel glad to be alive, or you could find the time for a favourite hobby. It's a good day to go shopping but you'll be more concerned with getting good quality than with how much something costs. Ideal colours are golden yellow and honey. Lucky numbers are 20 and 43.
 
The winds of change are sweeping through your life and the coming fortnight is an excellent time to let them take effect. This will be a fantastic opportunity to take the initiative in some way, or to start something new. If you're bored with your appearance or image, think about how you can improve it. You'll be thrilled every time you look in the mirror! Liberating colours are dark purple and mango. Lucky numbers are 34 and 12.
 
If you already suspect that someone is trying to pull the wool over your eyes in a financial matter, proceed with caution today, because things could get even more confusing. This isn't the day to confront anyone because they will do their best to deflect your accusations by being snide or unpleasant. Instead, continue to gather your evidence and bide your time. Powerful colours are salmon pink and burgundy. Lucky numbers are 3 and 14.
 
You're in a broad-minded mood today and you may even be interested in ideas that wouldn't normally appeal to you. For instance, you might read an article in the paper that you'd usually ignore. This isn't a day to judge anyone by their appearance, nor to take anything else purely at face value, because if you do that you'll be missing out on all sorts of interesting encounters. Auspicious colours are platinum and teal blue. Lucky numbers are 26 and 23.
 
This is a good day for thinking about your priorities in life, and discussing them with someone who's interested in what you have to say. You could end up having a very satisfying discussion that helps you to make sense of your current ideas. If you applied for a grant or allowance recently, there should be some news about it now. Advantageous colours are peach and khaki. Lucky numbers are 9 and 39.
 
If you know what's good for you you'll avoid all financial matters today, because they show every sign of going wrong. That might be because you make silly mistakes or because someone is doing their best to trick you. Besides, you're in a very absent-minded mood and will struggle to concentrate on anything for long. Creative colours are sapphire blue and emerald green. Lucky numbers are 26 and 8.
 
This isn't a good day to start anything new, unless you don't mind when it all goes haywire. Instead, you should concentrate on projects that are already under way, especially if they concern your social life or a favourite hobby. For instance, if you arrange to see a friend today the meeting might not be a success or you may have to change your plans at the last minute. Liberating colours are strawberry and ultramarine. Lucky numbers are 4 and 32.
 
This is a wonderful day for concentrating on friendships because that's exactly what you're in the mood for. You might want to ring up a chum and find out how they are, send someone an email or arrange an impromptu get-together with some of your mates. You'll have great fun if you're taking part in a group activity, and you'll come out of it smelling of roses. Creative colours are brass and indigo. Lucky numbers are 16 and 8.
 
If you're involved in any form of negotiation or bargaining today, woe betide your opponent because they don't stand a chance! You'll be able to beat them down or convince them that your argument is the right one, and you'll probably do this so quickly that they won't know what's hit them. Your mind is working very fast right now but avoid jumping to wild conclusions purely on the strength of a hunch. Healing colours are aqua and golden yellow. Lucky numbers are 14 and 20.
 
Someone thinks they know what's best, and they aren't afraid to say so. They may think they're doing you a favour but you're more likely to see it as interfering and bossing you about. There's little you can do about this at the moment, and it may be best if you can agree to differ. You should certainly avoid getting on the wrong side of someone in authority over you. Inspiring colours are honeycomb and jade. Lucky numbers are 2 and 29.
 
You're eminently practical and sensible today, so it's a marvellous chance to reach a decision or plan your next move. All the same, watch out for a slight tendency to err on the side of caution, or even to convince yourself that any form of risk is a complete no-no and that you should play as safe as possible. This is no time for reckless behaviour, but nor should you be scared of your own shadow. Advantageous colours are salmon and viridian. Lucky numbers are 5 and 22.
 
Take care if you're at work today because certain people won't be easy company. They might try to draw you into a battle of wills, or they may insist that they're right about something and that you're wrong. This difficult interlude won't last long, thank goodness, but it won't be a barrel of laughs. Try to play it down and don't let it get to you. Positive colours are gold and amethyst. Lucky numbers are 24 and 52.
 
You're in an adventurous mood and want to do something different for a change. What do you have in mind? You're very tempted by the prospect of travel, whether you're about to arrange a holiday or you're simply thinking about possible destinations. It's also a good day for making contact with people who live abroad or whose background is very different from yours. Inspirational colours are bright red and jet black. Lucky numbers are 9 and 66.
 
You'll enjoy getting out and about whenever possible this Monday, even if you can only manage to walk to the shops at lunchtime or take the dog out for a run. Even a short change of scene will do you good now. Of course, it will be better if you can have a longer break, and you might be tempted to arrange a weekend away in the not too distant future. Favourable colours are brass and charcoal. Lucky numbers are 7 and 78.
 
Make the most of the next three weeks to think about your finances - make sure that you're organizing them as efficiently as possible. While you're about it, consider what you want to achieve with your money. Do you want to make millions, pay off all your debts or simply ensure that you've got enough to live on? Start streamlining your objectives so you know what to aim for. Fortunate colours are cinnamon and bright blue. Lucky numbers are 3 and 59.
 
There's a scratchy, bad-tempered atmosphere between you and a certain person today, making you both want to lash out at a moment's notice. Be careful about this, otherwise you'll spend the day finding fault with each other and getting drawn into childish squabbles. It will be far better to talk about what is really wrong and then agree to do something about it. Positive colours are chocolate and mother of pearl. Lucky numbers are 4 and 22.
 
Relationships are accentuated during the coming fortnight, thanks to today's Full Moon. This means that tensions rise to the surface or something that's been bothering you finally reaches a crisis. You can no longer pretend that nothing's wrong, but it may be easier than you think to find a solution that suits everyone. Be brave and face up to whatever the problem happens to be. Beneficial colours are amber and dark green. Lucky numbers are 8 and 40.
 
Your feelings are more intense than usual today and everything is imbued with extra meaning. However, just because something affects you deeply does not mean that it's as significant as you imagine. Bear this in mind if you start worrying about someone's health problems or a difficulty at work begins to get you down. It may not be nearly as serious as you think. Fortunate colours are mellow yellow and bright orange. Lucky numbers are 3 and 67.
 
If you're shopping today, you'll happily shop till you drop. You're especially interested in household items or anything that makes mundane chores less of a grind. It's also a good day for investing in items that will improve your health, even if you only buy a bottle of vitamin pills. If you've been waiting for news of a bonus, perk or pay rise, it won't hurt to gently jog someone's memory about it. Positive colours are azure and grapefruit. Lucky numbers are 39 and 2.
 
You enjoy putting your brain to good use today, especially if you're doing something that's fun and entertaining. How about seeing what's on at the cinema, or renting a film and watching it at home? If you're passing the shops it will be almost impossible not to buy yourself a book, newspaper or magazine, because you're in the mood for a good read. You might try a competition, too. Ideal colours are caramel and cherry blossom. Lucky numbers are 1 and 49.
 
Make the most of today's broad-minded attitude and sample a slice of life that you might not try at other times. For instance, you talk to someone whose appearance or attitude would normally make you want to avoid them like the plague, and discover that there's much more to them than meets the eye. You could also be tempted to plan an exciting journey of the mind or body. Fortunate colours are aqua and lemon. Lucky numbers are 3 and 26.
 
If you suspect that you went overboard yesterday, this is the perfect day to say sorry and mean it. You're in a rather downbeat and serious state of mind, with a tendency to brood if things don't go well. Rather than allow yourself to worry, it will be a much more productive day if you can make the most of your current powers of concentration. There's so much you can achieve right now. Empowering colours are mulberry and aqua. Lucky numbers are 37 and 27.
 
This is another day when your nearest and dearest are giving you grief. You might have to cope with a relative who keeps nagging you about something, or who doesn't know when to shut up. However, before you lay all the blame at the door of other people, you should recognize that you may be just as irritating at the moment, especially if you get a bee in your bonnet. Liberating colours are russet and butterscotch. Lucky numbers are 3 and 75.
 
Although a certain person is normally dear to your heart, you can't help having second thoughts today. They're being such a pain in the neck for a start, and they also seem eager to drag you into a row. Maybe they're brooding about something that happened in the past but which they want to remind you about, especially if they think you were responsible for it. Harmonious colours are burnt orange and blueberry. Lucky numbers are 21 and 12.
 
You're in a wonderfully buoyant mood today and it will quickly rub off on whoever happens to be around you. This means you'll be in great demand, and also that you'll have a fantastic time. It's an especially good day for getting together with close relatives and neighbours, and you could have some great laughs together. Enjoy this happy spell while it lasts. Stabilising colours are hazelnut and grey blue. Lucky numbers are 5 and 43.
 
Between now and mid August you'll be very concerned about the state of your finances. You want them to be as healthy as possible and will work hard to make this happen. However, guard against your tendency to place too much emphasis on the material side of life, telling yourself that what you own is more important than who you are. Powerful colours are lilac and grapefruit. Lucky numbers are 8 and 12.
 
If yesterday's suggestions appealed to you, this is a marvellous day to start. You're full of inventive and far-sighted ideas, and you love putting them to the test. You're far more open-minded than usual today, making you receptive to ideas that might not appeal to you at otherwise. At the moment, they're right up your alley. Fortunate colours are blue hyacinth and dusky pink. Lucky numbers are 5 and 27.
 
You're filled with a lot more confidence than you've experienced recently, which comes as a welcome relief. This is just what you need if you want to get on with a project, launch a new venture or simply feel more at ease with yourself. You come up with ways to improve your life, and you want to get cracking on them as soon as possible. Prosperous colours are gold and navy. Lucky numbers are 2 and 56.
 
You're fired with enthusiasm today and eager to get on with whatever is top of your list of things to do. It's important that you're active now, otherwise you could easily become edgy and bad- tempered. You're prone to moodiness at the moment, and could get very agitated about the silliest things. These outbursts will be over quickly, but too many of them will be draining. Favourable colours are ivory and onyx. Lucky numbers are 6 and 49.
 
Something that happens today gladdens your heart, filling you with optimism and joy. It may not be anything that you can shout from the rooftops, (perhaps because it's supposed to be a secret), but you'll hug it to yourself and feel thrilled. You blossom in social settings, where you receive compliments that make you blush with pleasure. Empowering colours are plum and violet. Lucky numbers are 4 and 41.
 
Someone has a lot to say, but they're very choosy about who they talk to. They beckon you into a corner and beg you to keep quiet about what they're about to tell you, or it may be you who's looking for the right confidante. Either way, this is the sort of day when secrets have a habit of coming out in the wash, so it may be better to maintain a strict silence about yours. Stabilising colours are aqua and mother of pearl. Lucky numbers are 4 and 23.
 
The coming fortnight is an excellent opportunity to get involved in a charity or good cause. You might do this by lending them your physical support, or you could donate some money. If you're the one needing the help, then it's time to ask for it, whether you consult a government agency, a telephone helpline, a therapist or a friend. Opportune colours are sage green and magenta. Lucky numbers are 37 and 9.
 
You're very excited by new and revolutionary ideas today, but try not to latch on to something simply because it's unusual or will set the cat amongst the pigeons. Ideally, you should introduce lots of variety into your day to prevent yourself getting bored. Once that happens, you'll want to kick up some dust to make things more interesting. Not a good idea! Inspirational colours are cornflower blue and sunflower yellow. Lucky numbers are 10 and 26.
 
Worries and anxieties are lurking at the back of your mind, and once you start to think about them it will be almost impossible to shake them off. Do your best not to let your thoughts take on an obsessive quality because it will be difficult to handle and could also waste a lot of time. Try to keep things in their proper perspective and where possible, take constructive action. It will be far more productive than endlessly chewing it over in your mind. Beneficial colours are teal blue and dark red. Lucky numbers are 3 and 6.
 
Life isn't very easy at the moment and you need the support and advice of a friend today. Talk to them about whatever's bugging you because they'll have some interesting feedback for you. This is also a good day for working on a plan for the future, especially if you're putting in some ground work or doing some research. Expressive colours are terracotta and silvery pink. Lucky numbers are 2 and 49.
 
You need to keep your wits about you when handling money matters today, just in case someone is trying to get there ahead of you. They may be appealing to your good nature or hoping that you won't ask searching questions. If someone suggests a scheme that seems too good to be true, that's probably exactly what it is and you should steer well clear of it. Liberating colours are lemon and burgundy. Lucky numbers are 26 and 5.
 
You're in a deliciously romantic and idealistic mood today, and you've certainly got stars in your eyes whenever you think about a certain person. Right now, they're everything you could possibly want and you're completely blind to their faults. Enjoy this happy phase while it lasts but make sure you come back down to earth soon. Advantageous colours are burnished bronze and silver. Lucky numbers are 9 and 4.
 
Tread carefully today because it will be easy to get bogged down in a battle for power with someone, especially if they try to pull rank on you or use some underhand tactics. If you're currently trying to introduce some changes to your life, it's essential that you're open about it to avoid arousing opposition from people who are suspicious of your motives. Beneficial colours are bronze and ivory. Lucky numbers are 25 and 7.
 
Someone is full of good ideas today. Well, they think so, anyway, and they'll regale you with their thoughts for ages. You might enjoy listening to them, although some of what they say will seem like a complete flight of fancy. Be wary if they try to persuade you to join them in what you think is a hare-brained scheme because it could turn out to be over-ambitious and a complete waste of time. Maybe you should persuade them to scale it down a little? Ideal colours are lime and mulberry. Lucky numbers are 15 and 6.
 
It's almost impossible to keep track of your thoughts today because they're flying around in so many different directions. Write down ideas that come to you, and catch them before they fly off like butterflies. A brief change of scene will help you to clear your head, so get some fresh air - go for a walk, eat some foreign cuisine or rent a movie that you normally wouldn't... Ideal colours are blueberry and raspberry. Lucky numbers are 24 and 9.
 
If you want to get the very best out of the day, you should hide away from the world with a very special person. You're longing to lose yourself in a romantic reverie, given half a chance. If you're involved in a secret relationship, what happens now will make you feel mushy inside. If you're getting together with this person today, you'll want the encounter to be tender and loving. Read about today's historic Transit of Venus. Favourable colours are salmon and lavender. Lucky numbers are 3 and 55.
 
This is another day when it pays to reveal your true feelings to someone. You don't want to talk to any old person of course, so choose your confidante carefully. It's an excellent opportunity to discuss subjects that are usually off-limits, perhaps because they're sensitive or they're embarrassing when not handled properly. Right now, no problem. Harmonious colours are deep blue and lavender. Lucky numbers are 26 and 5.
 
Make an effort to talk about your feelings today. It may not be very easy at first, but you'll soon get into the swing of it, and the results will speak for themselves. You have an intimate conversation with your partner, in which you both speak from the heart about something that concerns the two of you. It will do wonders for your relationship. Ideal colours are pistachio and cherry blossom. Lucky numbers are 22 and 8.
 
Over the next couple of weeks you play your cards close to your chest. This means that you could give the impression of being secretive or unfriendly, which won't go down well in some quarters. Maybe it would help to explain your current mood? At times, you may have to force yourself to speak up to avoid sending out the wrong signals. Soothing colours are copper and teal. Lucky numbers are 2 and 56.
 
You're feeling positive and full of sunshine today, and determined to make the best of any situation you find yourself in. The planets are in are fortunate aspect, so everything is looking bright. A fortunate encounter with someone who'll do you a good turn, or brighten up your life in some way, is definitely on the cards. Empowering colours are emerald green and sapphire blue. Lucky numbers are 1 and 64.
 
If you want to make changes to your working environment or career prospects, do your best to get on with your colleagues today. However, you could encounter opposition; perhaps someone objects to the way you're doing things, or maybe they're just plain jealous. Ensure that you're acting in everyone's best interests and not just your own, otherwise you'll really land in hot water! Ideal colours are deep purple and aqua. Lucky numbers are 9 and 7.
 
You have a tendency to go overboard today Cancer, whether it's eating too much food, drinking too much or taking on more than you can handle at work. You simply won't know when to stop! You're in a very sociable mood and you're also feeling very easy-going, prepared to take people at face value and to turn a blind eye to their faults and foibles. And you hope they'll do the same for you Positive colours are claret and kiwifruit. Lucky numbers are 4 and 67.
 
Life has plenty to offer today, especially when it comes to enjoyment. You're in the mood for some fun and games, whether that means playing with your children or getting up to something very adult with you-know-who. You'll enjoy being as active as possible, and will jump at the chance of taking part in a competitive sport - provided you can win, of course. Bold colours are ebony and tangerine. Lucky numbers are 8 and 46.
 
There aren't too many obstacles today with other people or with yourself. The only downside could be that you spend too much money or think that you are right about absolutely everything. You will also be feeling rather retiring and not at all pushy for a few weeks. This is your time in the year to step back and take stock. Take time off if you can to recharge your batteries and if you can't, delegate. Let others do the running around. Fortunate colours are walnut brown and deep purple. Lucky numbers are 26 and 52.
 
This is a good time to start new projects since you have lots of initiative, imagination and determination now. There is a slight danger that you could be better at starting things than finishing them, but if you concentrate you'll be able to sort out some problems that have been bugging you for days. This is a great time for cleaning out and re- organising things generally. At the end of it all you'll feel back in control. Ideal colours are aqua and peach. Lucky numbers are 16 and 78.
 
It's time to retreat and find a place where you can have some peace and quiet. You want privacy and need to get away from the outside world. You are feeling self-protective and sensitive and cling to loved ones and familiar surroundings and you need to draw back from the hustle and hassles at work. You'll be happiest with your feet up. Propitious colours are dusky pink and silvery blue. Lucky numbers are 2 and 33.
 
Your emotions get in the way of reason because you can't think as clearly as usual. You may be talking incessantly about trivia so people won't always be able to follow your drift. There are days when making a determined push is the right approach. Then there are days when you can end up in the right place at the right time, saying the right thing, without making too much of an effort. This is one of those days. Beneficial colours are mango and pineapple. Lucky numbers are 7 and 61.
 
Because you're bored, you want to everything topsy turvy. You'll wish you hadn't done it though, because then you'll want life to settle down to its normal pace again. Make sure that you don't ruffle too many feathers in the process! Long distance travel is likely to be both exciting and rather disruptive, whether you are on the move or just in the planning stages. Expect the unexpected and try not to take risks or become too impatient. Auspicious colours are pistachio and dark brown. Lucky numbers are 11 and 47.
 
Try to get doing boring things like paperwork and housework out of the way. Once you have that organised, you'll feel a lot better. Where your physical health is concerned, you need to regenerate your body which you can only do with exercise, good food and enough sleep. Ignoring ailments and warning signs and hoping for the best just won't work. Fortuitous colours are marmalade and meringue. Lucky numbers are 66 and 73.
 
Fuming, fretting and complaining isn't getting you anywhere fast; there is a temporary road block ahead and you have to wait for it to clear, or alternatively, you could chip away at whatever stands in your path. All you need is determination and perseverance and you'll win through eventually. You may find your energy levels are low so you don't have the inclination to work quite as hard as usual. Positive colours are champagne and dark blue. Lucky numbers are 5 and 13.
 
You want to be flexible and meet new, stimulating people and this is a morale-boosting time for you. Suddenly you are able to see that what has held you back in the past has been your own narrow outlook. It wasn't down to ill luck or life being difficult as you thought. Your confidence in your ability to communicate well is growing. Your everyday life and contacts are easier as a result. You will be amazed at your new tolerance. Favourable colours are ochre and silvery green. Lucky numbers are 45 and 4.
 
It is very important that you are not left on your own or pushed to one side for a day or so. You definitely want to be getting lots of mothering attention, so ask for what you need. You will be very tuned into the subtle undercurrents of the atmosphere around you. You could become overwhelmed by other people's feelings so you need to protect yourself at points by standing back. Though your hunches are likely to be spot on. Prosperous colours are dark green and aqua. Lucky numbers are 44 and 6.
 
If you're normally timid, the planetary influences around you now will make you more confident. You suddenly find the courage to try things which normally you would not attempt. Lady Luck is on your side, but actually your dynamic approach is also helping to make things happen. You will be keen to cut through red tape and get straight to the point. Luckily you don't bear grudges for long and will move on, putting temporary squalls behind you. Favourable colours are primrose and silvery grey. Lucky numbers are 3 and 31.
 
You're in high gear because Uranus' influence on you has a wonderful, electrical quality. You want life to be stimulating and fascinating, and everyone you seem to meet is rather interesting. You're a little bit scattered however, as Pluto stays for some time in your house of work and health. During this time you have strong ideas about change and renewal. Work mates may want to stick to the status quo, so power struggles are almost inevitable. Fortunate colours are sapphire blue and emerald green. Lucky numbers are 6 and 57.
 
Not at your most outgoing and sociable just at the moment, you will be happiest in the quiet backwaters for a few weeks. Even your own company will not be a hardship for short periods, though obviously not all the time. You seem to know a little about a great many things, perhaps not too much in depth about anything. Your versatility will astonish even you, and is a tremendous strength used correctly, since you will be a wonderfully stimulating conversationalist. Ideal colours are avocado and apricot. Lucky numbers are 26 and 73.
 
The Moon is your ruler, and with a New Moon, all those plans you have been mulling over in recent days can now be put into action. Write down your game plan for the next twelve months, step by step. Make some firm decisions and put them into action. In spiritual matters you will be experimenting and challenging everyone else's views. You travel your own road no matter what, and don't care what anyone else thinks or says, no matter how influential they may be. Beneficial colours are tan and navy. Lucky numbers are 37 and 5.
 
Don't be jealous if a friend pays more attention to someone else because it will pass very quickly. The mood is rather fickle now as things tend to be good one moment and not so good the next. Just let it ebb and flow. You may be yearning for wonderful relationships, or a financial windfall to end all your problems, but you need to be more realistic and practical, and avoid the tendency to live in a dream world. Balancing colours are jade and bronze. Lucky numbers are 8 and 3.
 
If you can avoid falling out with the authority figures in your life, you will be much better off, as Venus turns retrograde today. Your ideas on life are changing dramatically and you find yourself open to unconventional, radical opinions. Friends and family will be amazed at the change in your outlook. You may be taken aback by certain events which blow up suddenly - just keep your rather highly-strung nervous system in hand. Auspicious colours are gold and silver. Lucky numbers are 3 and 70. Read more on Venus Retrograde.
 
You have a sharp, fast-moving mind at this time, Cancer. Remember to write things down since you can be absent-minded and forget your brilliant inspirations as soon as you have them. You are more emotional in public than usual, which may feel strange but it lets other people see your more human side. You will attract more sympathy, and at the same time be more sensitive to what is going on around you at work. Favourable colours are sand and red velvet. Lucky numbers are 28 and 35.

Just enjoy the quiet moments, it will soon start getting busy. Stabilising colours are carmine and cream. Lucky numbers are 6 and 7.
 
You are keen to see that everyone pulls in the same direction, for your group energy is strong.

Lucky numbers are 15 and 10.
 
The planetary influences help the Crab on two levels. Mars makes you more competitive and energetic than usual, so take pleasure in the hard work you will be capable of for a while.

You adore swapping your inspired ideas with friends, challenging each other to discover new truths. Uplifting colours are marigold and red. Lucky numbers are 7 and 49.
 
You need another self in whatever you are doing today, at home or at work. It is very much a togetherness kind of feeling. There's the odd confrontation through the day, not because you're assertive, but you just feel a little over-emotional. If you do stir up a problem, don't go too far. You will not really want to see it through and at the end of it all you'll wish you hadn't bothered. Prosperous colours are golden brown and pale blue. Lucky numbers are 4 and 21.
 
With Mars moving into your sign for a few weeks, you move into higher gear. Obstacles will be swept aside, and people who oppose you will get short shrift.

Auspicious colours are bright red and snow white. Lucky numbers are 3 and 32.
 
This is not a great day for self-confidence or taking direct action, so just let yourself slide around things. Watch you are not misled by vague hunches, or by information coming from others.

This is all part of the process of moving towards different values, better securities and more realistic commitments. Beneficial colours are sapphire and ruby. Lucky numbers are 5 and 22.
 
Friends pull you one way and loved ones another, dear Cancer. This lunar eclipse urges you to divide your attention so as to satisfy everyone. You have been spending more time recently with a wider circle of acquaintances, so more intimate companions have been feeling excluded. You are thinking more deeply than usual and talking in a penetrating way, but you come across as being more forceful than you intend. Subtle colours are pinky orange and burnt umber. Lucky numbers are 6 and 15.
 
This is a good day to be self-protective and retreat into a private place, preferably at home. So much the better if you can manage to take the day off, put your feet up and wrap yourself around a warm teddy bear. Even if you're at work, you need a protective niche where you push away awkward people, hassles and hustle. With Mars in flowing aspect to the Moon you will find yourself in higher gear at home. Relaxing colours are dusky rose and silvery grey. Lucky numbers are 56 and 2.
 
Try flashing a happy smile, even if you're gritting your teeth behind the scenes. You'll get your own way faster by being charming. Your feelings run deeper than usual, but that should be your secret. Looking after your body is a priority since you do feel pressured by demands on your time and energy.

In a morale-boosting mood, you lift other people's spirits and make them feel great. Chatting happily to companions, you glide through your work routines with less effort than usual.

But for all that you do sense that life has taken on a more serious purpose. Plan for the future. Relaxing colours are olive and soft pink. Lucky numbers are 7 and 42.
 
Everyone seems good for a pleasant chat today, Cancer, but don't compromise just because you want to fit in for the sake of peace and quiet.

Your views at work will be sought, for you've got all the relevant info. Just don't drown everyone in too many facts and figures. Businesslike colours are magenta and mocca. Lucky numbers are 4 and 9.

Let yourself sparkle! Advantageous colours are bright red and silvery grey. Lucky numbers are 23 and 17.
 
If you keep your feet on the ground, there are definitely fair winds blowing for you now. It's just a question of finding the right balance between confidence and common sense.

So you won't have to double-check everything and redo things in the near future. Auspicious colours are deep purple and walnut brown. Lucky numbers are 5 and 48.
 
It's well worth your while pushing yourself into boring things like paperwork. Once you have that organised, not only will you feel better, you'll be able to spend with a clear conscience.

Helpful, practical advice will put you on the right lines, though obviously the decision will be yours at the end of the day. Bold colours are translucent red and honey gold. Lucky numbers are 49 and 41.
 
The Moon in your sign always has that ebbing and flowing quality, one moment outgoing and charming, the next moment, withdrawn. You just don't know from one minute to the next what you are going to do, say and think! It's rather pleasant, but you need more stable, practical people around you just now. All you want really is favourable attention, so you will be racing around trying to please. Overeating could be a hazard today since you want to comfort yourself. Fortunate colours are antique gold and copper. Lucky numbers are 53 and 47.
 
Watch a tendency to be intense, even obsessive. If you can be tolerant of other people's viewpoint, and open to feedback, you'll make progress faster.

You've been in a corner lately, and now is the time when there's a bit more sparkle and excitement. Lucky colours are burgundy and taupe. Lucky numbers are 28 and 63.
 
It's important to channel your energy into doing as much work as possible today. Brutal effort involved in organisation achieves something worthwhile. Be wary of high-risk areas, people and situations. At work you may be digging your heels in too hard. You could be right but maybe have not found the best way of persuading workmates. A more flexible approach will help to smooth out tensions and disagreements. Favourable colours are cherry blossom and white blossom. Lucky numbers are 66 and 44.
 
You are vaguely uneasy about a sense that you know is right: someone is holding you back. You are can't quite decide why, or what, to do about it. Be patient and recognise that this is only a temporary phase. You must just throw your energy into behind-the-scenes activity, or learn to pull strings a little more subtly. Today just briefly, you tend to be pulled into complex situations and end up feeling a touch frustrated or blocked. Expressive colours are lime and lemon. Lucky numbers are 27 and 33.
 
Take advantage of the opportunities around you now, just for the taking. Your bouncy self-confidence attracts positive responses from everyone around you, especially colleagues and neighbours.

Your romantic life may feel more ethereal and lovelier than usual, so you're cruising along in good style. It's possible that you will see companions for the better, because you're seeing life through soft focus at the moment. Yet, you often feel lonely and under loved at the moment. Darling Cancer, time spent on your own need not necessarily be lonely - it will give you a chance to connect with your deeper feelings and creative talents. Ideal colours are coffee and pale blue. Lucky numbers are 70 and 25.
 
You need friends around today that make you feel loved and appreciated. You want and need protection, advice and reassurance regarding your long-term goals. Obviously no one makes your mind up but you, but that doesn't mean to say testing ideas and picking up information won't be useful. Briefly, you'll find a peculiar atmosphere at home, or in close relationships. You'll feel as if there is a smokescreen around you, so you're not sure what's real and what's fantasy. Ideal colours are jade and teal blue. Lucky numbers are 68 and 65.
 
Use the good planetary influences around you now wisely, as the Eclipse brings opportunities regarding career prospects. This is the time to sow the seeds of new ideas at work.

You don't want to fly solo or be part of a claustrophobic twosome. The more the merrier. Favourable colours are gunmetal grey and peacock blue. Lucky numbers are 25 and 77.
 
You're sensitive and very responsive to the mood around you at work, if you're working today, and very good at handling group situations.

This is a good time for cleaning out, re-organising and generally unravelling muddles. There's a bonus too: it puts you back in control! Fortunate colours are silvery green and terracotta. Lucky numbers are 38 and 26.
 
A bright, breezy mood will keep you very busy, Cancer. You want to know the common sense reasons for doing things and are irritated by workmates who rattle on about grand ideas and indulge in flights of fancy. Let a little of your own creative imagination get to work. If your feet are too firmly on the ground, you won't get very far. Beneficial colours are sage green and tawny brown. Lucky numbers are 65 and 24.
 
You are sensitive to suffering and feel the urge to work behind the scenes to help or care for those who are less fortunate than you. You are at your best in a work situation where you are able to upgrade or regenerate things, but go easy; if you're in a routine and stable job you will run into opposition from workmates. They will find your constant manipulation and controlling of the work situation very difficult to handle. Positive colours are bottle green and ivory. Lucky numbers are 5 and 6.
 
A real attack of the wandering feet makes it tricky to settle down to anything requiring concentration. You don't want to be stuck in a corner. You want to be flying round the world in your hot-air balloon. Let your imagination soar.

Compassionate colours are oyster and topaz. Lucky numbers are 34 and 40.
 
Finances remain steady, except you're inclined to overspending. Leave other people to do the more practical, solid things, you will be good at charming the important people around.

You would rather shut yourself away than let your feelings be seen. Ideal colours are saffron and beige. Lucky numbers are 21 and 24.
 
Be as straightforward, firm and tactful as you possibly can, Crabs. This is not the day to take the long way round. Maybe you have been letting other people pull the wool over your eyes.

Your life is changing slowly at a subtle level now. Advantageous colours are violet and citrine. Lucky numbers are 53 and 26.
 
Discuss future possibilities now. Seek out sounding boards for your brighter inspirations. Your livelier friends will adore you because you are up on the latest advances and don't harp on about how things used to be. You are very open to new ideas, especially those likely to upset others, because you have a slightly rebellious streak. And you have the courage of your convictions. Effective colours are aubergine and basalt. Lucky numbers are 46 and 43.
 
You have found a way around other people's resistances today, Cancer. If you want them to shift ground, you can be persuasive. If you want straight answers, you can bring things out into the open. There is no need to fight things through to the bitter end. This is your peak time of year for work or community activities. Recognition is likely if you strive to get your talents out on display. Inspiring colours are turquoise and mocca. Lucky numbers are 51 and 13.
 
With the Moon in your sixth house, you are in an ideal phase to work on and regenerate your body. If you do have any ailments, giving them prompt and sensible attention from trusted professionals and sound remedies will result in improvements. Ignoring physical problems and hoping for the best will not work. A small adventure beckons which should put a sparkle in your eye. Adventurous colours are kiwifruit and tan. Lucky numbers are 21 and 61.
 
Cancer, it's definitely a time to look for new experiences, to do anything that's original, experimental and a little bit inspired. Maybe you need to be a little more artistic while you're at it. You won't be as socially outgoing as usual just for a few weeks. But don't get gloomy. You will emerge softer, wiser and maybe revitalised because of the deeper connections you have made. Soothing colours are blackberry and parchment. Lucky numbers are 65 and 46.
 
You may be feeling under-appreciated at the moment, but there really is no need. Enjoy this quiet time, since it won't last long. With Venus tucked out of sight, your role is to be giving rather than receiving. You are eager to find out about the latest knowledge. You certainly don't want to hear about the way it always was. What you are concerned with is state-of-the-art futuristic knowhow. Practical colours are silver and chrysoprase. Lucky numbers are 11 and 5.
 
Now's the time for self-promotion, Cancer! Are you looking for the limelight? You'll be flirting, laughing, singing and dancing. The stars promise more emotional depth in relationships with loved ones, whether children, adults or indeed social companions. Suddenly you see that what has been holding you back in the past has been your own narrow-minded outlook, not ill luck or life being difficult. Expressive colours are sultana and peach. Lucky numbers are 60 and 78.
 
As Mercury turns retrograde, beware of committing yourself to things that are beyond you. It's no good promising more than you can deliver.

Listen to the subtle hints and pick up on the undercurrents in your environment. Balanced colours are gunmetal and tourmaline. Lucky numbers are 15 and 41.
 
Are your loved ones beginning to complain that they never see you? Take the hint, and find time for your nearest and dearest.

This Full Moon is quite a good time to retreat for some peace and quiet, to get away from the outside world. Feeling sensitive, you cling to familiar surroundings. Beneficial colours are mahogany and meringue. Lucky numbers are 23 and 47.
 
All you really feel like doing is putting your feet up and daydreaming your way through the day. And if you can manage it without upsetting your schedule, why not indulge yourself?

You will all too easily allow yourself to be misled into trusting people who are unreliable, unrealistic and perhaps even downright dishonest. Responsible colours are spearmint and chrysoprase. Lucky numbers are 13 and 10.
 
You are in a position to give more now, and you are sensitive to the unspoken needs of those close. You can be very compassionate with Venus in your solar twelfth house, but watch that you do not become emotionally overloaded, soaking in too much of their problems. You have strong ideas about change in your working situation, but workmates may want to stick to the status quo. Tread lightly. Compassionate colours are fawn and chrysoberyl. Lucky numbers are 56 and 41.
 
Feeling a little bit restless and quite emotional? Be careful or you may be saying things to others in a way that they don't entirely understand. The words just flow out like a flood. If you can stand back and be a bit more sensible about some things, it really would help enormously. With the Moon at a tricky angle to Mars you may be involved in noisy confrontations with close companions - but it will be over with in a flash. Fortunate colours are merlot and striped agate. Lucky numbers are 34 and 74.
 
Bright friends and stimulating discussions are a must in your life right now, Cancer. You do have wonderfully inventive ideas that get right to the truth of the matter, so share your thoughts.

Head for younger mates in particular since they are forward looking, not stuck in a rut. Providential colours are chestnut and new rope. Lucky numbers are 9 and 42.
 
You will be more ambitious than usual now, keen to be noticed. Do a little strategic planning ahead to the time when you can act with greater speed. You may feel frustrated because you cannot act directly in an up-front manner. Get into forward gear, for this is only temporary. Advantageous colours are fuchsia and burnished copper. Lucky numbers are 70 and 60.
 
Your freedom-loving streak makes you wary of too much intimacy, Cancer. Make sure you communicate to loved ones that this rather detached manner is not a rejection of them. You are just in a butterfly mood, flitting happily around and not settling anywhere for long. You are much in demand for your views at work, for you are the one who has all relevant info down to the last detail. Just don't drown everyone in too many facts and figures. Focused colours are barley bread and beige. Lucky numbers are 22 and 8.
 
Ask for what you need, which is more pampering, indulging and feeling comforted. There is a lot of mothering energy around, but you definitely want to be on the receiving and not the giving end. You will be pleased at how well you are expressing yourself now. Once you open your mind to other viewpoints, suddenly the world seems a bigger place. Delicious colours are fuchsia and kiwifruit. Lucky numbers are 25 and 17.
 
Authority figures and bosses will limit you and try to hold you down.

Adventurous colours are citrine and melon. Lucky numbers are 33 and 72.
 
Walk your own road, Cancer. Although you are inclined to be somewhat reckless, it's not likely to send you flying off into doing anything too foolish.

Work relationships are more intense, even rather unco-operative since your ideas may not meet with everyone else's approval. But stick to your guns. Confident colours are sharkskin and fire opal. Lucky numbers are 16 and 15.
 
You may feel circumstances are pushing you in a way you don't want to go, but this is really a time for facing the bottom line and getting organized. Saturn brings the need to lay foundations, and sometimes to backtrack and unpick mistakes. Or face up to people you don't like. Use that positive discipline to get things done. You have learned recently to be more self sufficient, but don't let that cut you off from companions, especially those who are struggling. Businesslike colours are flame and sepia. Lucky numbers are 41 and 14.
 
Learn to pull strings a little more subtly. You will achieve little by direct action or confrontation. Indeed the harder you push the less you may succeed, so it might be as well to develop patience. Others can be made to dance to your tune if you cannot dance it yourself. Concentrate on finding out why your anger is so trapped and on finding why certain of your actions are self-defeating. Positive colours are cream and chrome. Lucky numbers are 23 and 25.
 
Be careful about how you handle things today, Cancer. It is important not to become obsessed with one matter, or so focused in on the tiny detail that you can't see the broader picture. If you look too deeply into it, you may end up getting a bit gloomy. If you put yourself under strain at times, you can just as quickly throw your energy into resolving your problems. What you really want is to serve and care for yourself and others. Beneficial colours are mandarin and striped agate. Lucky numbers are 15 and 30.
 
Don't get down if a friend pays more attention to someone else, dear Cancer, because it will pass by very quickly. Things tend to be good one moment and not so good the next, so just let it all ebb and flow. You are highly intrigued by new ideas at the moment, and companions see you as having a fascinating mind. Let out your bright, inventive opinions. They may not always meet with universal agreement, but they will certainly stimulate discussion. Persuasive colours are chrysolite and maroon. Lucky numbers are 19 and 10.
 
Strength and encouragement comes from work, rather than your home life for the next couple of days. You will find yourself expressing your emotions in public more than you usually do. Even though this may feel strange at first, it does mean that other people see the more human side of you. You attract more sympathy from others, but at the same time are much more sensitive to what is going on around you at work. Fortunate colours are carnation and sepia. Lucky numbers are 1 and 10.
 
Give your reputation a boost and get the recognition that your talents richly deserve. It's the Equinox, so you cannot rest on your laurels; give new projects a hefty push to make sure you are building for the days ahead. Get your head and your heart together and make it happen. Don't feel uneasy, you can muster up the confidence or competitive drive to get your own way. Advantageous colours are sassafras and tan. Lucky numbers are 16 and 22.
 
Over the next few weeks you will gain success at work, though oddly enough, you may not think so. You think that others are claiming credit for your achievements. With Mercury singing sweetly to Neptune across the zodiac it's a subtle, sensitive and very sympathetic day. You'll be putting yourself across to people in a way that makes them understand where you're coming from. You have a magical way of understanding what they're all about. It's the Equinox, and it's a New Moon, marking a powerful beginning to the astrological new year. Appropriate colours are taupe and hessonite. Lucky numbers are 29 and 62. Read more on the Equinox!
 
Are you deluding or deceiving yourself? Are you disappointing yourself because you're not looking clearly enough?

The Stars indicate that money is potentially a problem as well. Appropriate colours are copper and mulberry. Lucky numbers are 16 and 41.
 
Your achievements are recognised today, even in a small way. It isn't luck: you've decided you won't be quiet any longer and will project yourself with more vigour! Avoid arguments today, as you are likely to back down. You're independent and happy to be around friends, as long as they are tolerant. You'll be irritated by anyone who tries to take your freedom away from you. Opportune colours are scarlet and gold. Lucky numbers are 44 and 35.
 
You're feeling good, but not getting much work done today. There'll be moments when you feel at peace with the world and want to share your feelings with everyone around you. Smoothing rough edges is becoming quite a talent with you now. Your ability to observe, and your easy way with words makes you sought after and brings respect. You can put workmates and companions right, with a happy smile. Beneficial colours are carmine and amber. Lucky numbers are 75 and 13.
 
You are thinking and talking about loftier topics, more than usual. At this time in your life, your wide-ranging mind is attracted to fascinating new ideas. You will be promoting your pet causes to all and sundry with a great deal of evangelical zeal just now. And focussing on friendships and long term planning. Your dynamic energy will go into making sure that everyone is pulling in the same direction, at work and in your leisure activities. Harmonious colours are lilac and grey. Lucky numbers are 70 and 44.
 
If you are holding back from a serious discussion with workmates or close companions then maybe you need to think of some way of breaking the ice. There may have been more criticism around than usual recently but you could also be misconstruing something you have only half heard. Check it out before jumping to conclusions as things might be better than you think. Once you collect your wits you will be listened to seriously. Just take your time and plan your points carefully. Auspicious colours are purple and pale pink. Lucky numbers are 3 and 45.
 
In your closest relationships, both at work and at home, you may be clutching a little more than usual, hanging on to partners. Don't get jealous and possessive if they aren't exactly fitting in with what you want all of the time. Just move over and get in step with them. Relationships always require compromises, and if you can keep your nearest contented they are more likely to respond in like manner. You will have a real feel for what others need. Fortunate colours are ebony and lavender. Lucky numbers are 21 and 49.
 
Your emotions are tied up with your working situation, and indeed with your health for a couple of days. If you're feeling jittered and jangled emotionally, watch that your body doesn't sag a bit. Make sure you're putting energy into eating well, resting, relaxing, exercising, doing all of those kinds of things. The Moon is close to powerful Pluto, so try not be too controlling, or uptight. Use the energy to sort out some outstanding domestic issues. Beneficial colours are azure and snow white. Lucky numbers are 5 and 32.
 
If you are forced to examine certain situations in great depth, you will gain in wisdom. Out of your experiences other people will also learn first-hand about how to cope better. You'll need sensible reasons for doing everything and get irritated by workmates who are prone to flights of fancy. Let a little of your own creative imagination get to work. Favourable colours are neon and sage. Lucky numbers are 25 and 52.
 
Step back and make up your mind what is going to be good for you in the long term. Avoid distractions or temptations. You have a great deal of endurance, stamina and dogged persistence. Sticking out difficult situations is your great strength now, though you may find it more difficult to be flexible. Empowering colours are parchment and raw silk. Lucky numbers are 4 and 58.
 
Flamboyant and exuberant Crabs will bask in the limelight. It's not a day to keep your feelings to yourself, so go flirt, have fun, play games with loved ones or social buddies. Forget routine chores and duck out if you feel an order coming your way. If you are planning a party it will be impressive. The simple, rustic life will not hold much interest for you now. Celebratory colours are sandstone and scarlet. Lucky numbers are 28 and 57.
 
Sensual Venus in a gritty aspect to Uranus can be disruptive, creating a roller-coaster situation with your affections. Are you spending money like mad, and then suddenly wishing you hadn't bothered? You are happily tossing out of the window a good many ideas that have been around for a long time, perhaps since your childhood. Old teachings are being abandoned, since you dislike having your agenda set for you. Life now has new choices. Adventurous colours are mauve and maple. Lucky numbers are 5 and 9.
 
Warrior Mars stimulates a challenge, a bit of controversy, but do not push it too far. You have the confidence to get things done and will barrel ahead quickly, but you could be critical, seeing mistakes and pointing out other people's flaws. This they may not take to very kindly. Are you frustrated because companions shut off what you say? It's time to rethink your approach. Beneficial colours are aubergine and kiwi fruit. Lucky numbers are 21 and 19.
 
You may not be the life and soul of the party, but you will be there long after the fair-weather gadabouts have floated off elsewhere. Just don't get too gloomy or look on the bleak side of everything. Lighten up. Life will reward you the harder you try, though you must find time for relaxation as well as serious endeavours. Otherwise you could end up a loner, having to make your way in the world unaided. Advantageous colours are mahogany and ivy. Lucky numbers are 48 and 54.
 
Don't get bogged down in trivia, Cancer. If you can stand further back to see the full picture, you will reach better judgements. There could be travel difficulties today, mainly because you're not concentrating sensibly and are constantly changing your mind about your plans. Sit down at the start and write out a list of destinations and times, and you might even arrive at some of them. Fortunate colours are dark grape and spearmint. Lucky numbers are 34 and 29.
 
You have a wonderful knack of putting others at their ease, so you are more than welcome wherever you go. But you demand elbow room and will run a mile at the first whiff of possessiveness. You are keeping your strong feelings firmly to yourself. Even close companions may find it difficult to know quite what runs below the surface, but you sense that one old resentment has finally been put to rest. Positive colours are indigo and lime.
