Taurus

Born between: April 20th - May 20th

Those with the Taurus sign are perfect partners in friendship and love as they're loving, loyal and understanding. However those born under the Taurus sign at times can be stubborn but always are patient and generous.

Friends and partners aren't behaving as you would like today. They're eager to go their own way, much to your annoyance. In order to get round this you're going to have to ask yourself some tricky questions, such as whether you're trying to control everyone's behaviour or whether they're being inconsiderate in wanting to do their own thing. Maybe you should all release the tension by making it a super New Year's Eve celebration? Auspicious colours are peach and primrose yellow. Lucky numbers are 5 and 19.
 
It's no good - the prospect of visiting the post-Christmas sales has become too tempting for you to resist any longer. No matter what you're doing today, you'll try to squeeze in the opportunity to dash around some of your favourite shops and see what's on offer. You could snap up some bargains but you should guard against the urge to splurge on items that you don't really want or need. The price of something may have been slashed but the acid test is whether you'd still buy it if it were full price. If not, leave it in the shop! Beneficial colours are maroon and honeycomb. Lucky numbers are 1 and 6.
 
Someone gets in a bit of a muddle today and it could take some unravelling. For instance, they might get their wires crossed, leading to all sorts of misunderstandings. You might also encounter someone who is trying to rewrite history, perhaps because they can't bear to remember things as they really were. Should you set them straight or leave well alone? Inspirational colours are mauve and teal blue. Lucky numbers are 33 and 57.
 
If you've been neglecting that special someone in your life over the past few days because you've been so busy with the festivities, try to make up for it today. Maybe you could have some time alone with them, or perhaps you simply need to remind them how much you love them. Don't be afraid to open up your heart to them, and to let them do the same to you. Fortunate colours are jade and amethyst. Lucky numbers are 24 and 60.
 
Make a big effort to spend time with people you didn't see on Christmas Day, especially if they're older than you or are having a bad time at the moment. You're brimming over with compassion and empathy, which will be really appreciated by anyone who's on the receiving end of them. You're also in the mood to make allowances for people, and that will help enormously. Advantageous colours are purple and champagne. Lucky numbers are 34 and 50.
 
It's important that you leave yourself plenty of room to manoeuvre during the coming fortnight, especially when it comes to making decisions and airing your opinions. You need to be as flexible as possible right now, otherwise you could find that you've boxed yourself into a corner and have to do some serious back-tracking. You need to consider all points of view and not just your own. Favourable colours are sunflower yellow and avocado. Lucky numbers are 11 and 24.
 
It looks like being a great day, with everyone doing their best to be great company. You're at your electrifying best, which is saying something, and your presence will definitely add to any gathering you attend. You might even manage to fit in some light-hearted flirting if you're really lucky. It's going to be a Christmas to remember. Harmonious colours are jade and aubergine. Lucky numbers are 12 and 13.
 
Keep calm! Your emotions are becoming increasingly heightened and intense today. As a result, you're likely to take things much more seriously than usual. That's wonderful if you're involved in a hot and heavy encounter with Mr or Ms Right, but it won't be such good news if you go overboard about silly trifles. If you're doing some last-minute shopping you'll want to be as extravagant as your budget allows. Or is it a case of Budget? What budget? Romantic colours are irridescent pink and mother of pearl. Lucky numbers are 1 and 57.
 
Someone isn't mucking about today, and if they're annoyed about something they'll come right out with it. This means you could be on the receiving end of some zingers, but equally it means that you'll be giving as good as you get. Now, although it will be very tempting to let off steam by giving someone an earful, aren't there better directions in which to channel your energy? Inspiring colours are aqua and amethyst. Lucky numbers are 33 and 20.
 
Time is hurtling towards Christmas Day and it seems that you're in a panic about how you're going to get everything done in time. You may even have reached the stage where you've ground to a halt because you don't know what to do first. So take a deep breath, calm down and do things one at a time. Otherwise you'll end up feeling confused, tired and tearful. Beneficial colours are cinnamon and charcoal. Lucky numbers are 1 and 39.
 
If you're a typical Taurean you value both your emotional and physical security, and often tend to restrict your actions accordingly. But during the coming month you'll want to spread your wings more widely than usual, whether you do this through mental or physical pursuits. It will do you good to be more adventurous for a change, and to embrace life in all its aspects. Auspicious colours are sivery blue and silvery pink. Lucky numbers are 12 and 44.
 
You've faced some communication glitches this month but they start to sort themselves out from today, thank goodness. Even so, you may have to help things along, perhaps by talking about what's gone wrong. If you suspect that an official letter has gone astray, you should take the initiative and find out what's happened to it. Fortunate colours are russet and grapefruit. Lucky numbers are 18 and 30.
 
A significant person in your life is a law unto themselves today, and it's driving you crazy! They may withdraw from you in some way or hint that they need more freedom in your relationship. However, clinging on to this person is not the answer right now. You're powerfully attracted to someone who's off limits or bad news, yet it seems you can't help yourself. Empowering colours are blueberry and pale green. Lucky numbers are 8 and 77.
 
It's another day when emotional tension makes you feel as though you're walking on eggshells. However, it seems that the temperature has risen by several notches, making the situation more fraught than it was yesterday. It will be better to clear the air quickly and cleanly than to sulk and brood in ways that simply prolong the agony. Stable colours are spearmint and gold. Lucky numbers are 22 and 12.
 
Someone is very short-tempered, and they're liable to fly off the handle at a moment's notice. Maybe they're feeling vulnerable in some way or are desperately trying to defend what they see as their territory. Be sensitive to this and don't goad them into being even more irritable or upset than they are already. Frankly, it's just not worth it. Beneficial colours are silver and grey. Lucky numbers are 34 and 14.
 
During the rest of the month you'll enjoy being with people who know you inside out, and with whom you share a strong bond. You'll also want to be more forthcoming and emotional than usual, and may find yourself getting involved in heartfelt conversations and really intense exchanges. At times you may feel slightly exposed but it's important for you to open up emotionally right now. Positive colours are violet and spring green. Lucky numbers are 14 and 8.
 
Catch up with the chores today, especially if you've got a list of them as long as your arm and you want to get through them all before Christmas. You're feeling nicely efficient without wanting to work yourself into the ground, so carry on at a steady pace. A few well-chosen words in a certain person's ear will be more effective than a lengthy conversation at other times. Fortunate colours are cherry blossom and grey. Lucky numbers are 34 and 76.
 
Are you in listening mode today? Let's hope so because someone wants to bend your ear and they're hoping that you can spare the time and energy for them. Although your first instincts may tell you to give them plenty of advice, try to stop yourself volunteering it unless it's asked for. Even then, you may get the sense that you're really being asked to listen, not talk. Ambitious colours are pale rose and peach. Lucky numbers are 28 and 44.
 
You're feeling very constructive today and this will impress the people around you. If you're trying to sort out a problem with someone, it should be a piece of cake now because you'll be able to combine a level-headed approach with a desire for harmony and co- operation. You will also get the chance to forge a greater understanding with a certain person, which is all to the good. Fortunate colours are amethyst and marmalade. Lucky numbers are 1 and 2.
 
Today's New Moon focuses on your most private and intimate relationships, and is encouraging you to make a fresh effort with them. For instance, if your sex life has become rather jaded recently, this is a great opportunity to spice it up. You might also embark on a new alliance now, in which case it will be intense and there may even be a fated quality to it. Sounds interesting! Positive colours are dark blue and spearmint. Lucky numbers are 39 and 3.
 
Whistle while you work! You're keen to enjoy yourself whenever possible, and you don't see why you should have a long face while doing the chores. So switch on the radio or CD player, make your surroundings as amenable as possible and devote yourself to the task in hand as though it were your most favourite occupation in the whole world. What a difference this will make. Favourable colours are cornflower blue and plum. Lucky numbers are 9 and 22.
 
You're in a very analytical mood today and you'll enjoy looking deeply at any situation that you're currently involved in. Ideally, you should have a far-reaching conversation with someone you trust, in which you're both able to say what's on your mind. You might also enjoy reading a psychotherapy or self-help book about some of the issues you're facing right now. Fortunate colours are cream and lilac. Lucky numbers are 16 and 53.
 
There's a certain amount of friction between you and your partner today. This could be really exciting and dynamic, spurring you into fresh adventures together, or it might lead to spats that seem to get more petty as the day wears on. So resist the temptation to get drawn into silly squabbles and instead express today's energy in more positive ways. Stabilising colours are chocolate and magenta. Lucky numbers are 17 and 65.
 
Social situations bring out the best in you right now, especially if they encourage you to be a free spirit and you don't have to worry about being on your best behaviour all the time. In fact, you'll welcome the chance to kick over the traces in some way or remind certain people that you're a much more complex personality than they sometimes give you credit for. Ideal colours are mustard yellow and jet black. Lucky numbers are 32 and 20.
 
You have a strong urge to get to the bottom of any mystery that you're currently faced with, whether it involves a personal relationship, a hunch about what's happening or a financial situation. What's more, you won't be satisfied until you've completely solved the puzzle. However, you'll only arouse bad feeling if you pry into things that are none of your business, so beware! Inspirational colours are lemon and silvery green. Lucky numbers are 23 and 32.
 
This is another day in which you should be monitoring the progress you've made so far with the festivities and deciding what has still to be done. You're operating very efficiently right now but you'll be even more effective if you can plan your time carefully, write lists of what you must buy or make, and be realistic about your capabilities. But don't expect to work miracles. Fortunate colours are vermilion and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 36 and 30.
 
There are powerful forces at work in a relationship today, and they'll have quite an impact on you. If you're with that special person in your life, don't be surprised if there's a lot of sexual tension between you that manifests as irritation and bad temper. You'll probably have a huge row and then have a very enjoyable time making it up. Fortunate colours are charcoal grey and mother of pearl. Lucky numbers are 26 and 77.
 
If you gave up in despair over what happened yesterday, you stand a better chance of sorting things out today. Talking to the person concerned may help them to get a grip on the situation, especially if you manage to avoid recriminations or accusations. Instead, do your best to be as understanding and compassionate as possible. Beneficial colours are coffee and terracotta. Lucky numbers are 21 and 14.
 
Someone simply isn't being realistic or practical today. They seem to be lost in a dream world of wishful thinking and idealism, none of which has anything to do with what's really going on. Unfortunately, they won't want to hear any of this and may even manipulate the situation so they don't have to listen to your opinions. Be careful when dealing with them and try not to get sucked into their current desire to escape reality at all costs. Harmonious colours are dark green and apricot. Lucky numbers are 21 and 16.
 
This is a day for turning your attention to your finances, especially if you're currently trying to devise the budget for some domestic improvements or changes. Talk to the other people concerned and really listen to what they're saying because they'll have some great insights. It will be far more productive to work as part of a harmonious team than as warring factions. Ideal colours are caramel and cream. Lucky numbers are 11 and 18.
 
Your mind is working really well today, so it's a great opportunity to get ahead with your Christmas preparations. Any form of writing suits you down to the ground now, so how about finishing off your Christmas cards if you haven't yet done so? And if you haven't even started them then make an effort to begin now and you'll find that things go like clockwork. Inspiring colours are moonlight blue and sunflower yellow. Lucky numbers are 15 and 31.
 
This is a very frustrating day, in which you're stymied by someone's inertia or lack of enthusiasm. They may even try to sabotage your plans in some way, although you may not realize this at first because they're being so subtle about it. Make sure you don't add to the problems by underestimating your own abilities or allowing yourself to be demoralized. Soothing colours are strawberry and banana yellow. Lucky numbers are 13 and 62.
 
Think big! You're capable of making important and far-reaching changes to your long-term goals today, provided you have the necessary vision and self-belief. Although you won't get anywhere if you indulge in ridiculous fantasies that haven't a hope of coming true, nor should you restrict yourself to modest plans if you know full well that you're capable of achieving so much more. So be prepared to dream a little. Fortunate colours are scarlet and black onyx. Lucky numbers are 19 and 10.
 
Your values clash with those of a loved one today, and unless you're very careful the result will be verbal fisticuffs. If this happens, you'll end up having one of those nit-picking rows in which each of you details all the transgressions that the other one has committed lately, so you go round in circles and get increasingly angry. Isn't there a better way than this? Uplifting colours are sky blue and sable. Lucky numbers are 36 and 27.
 
Grab the chance to pamper yourself in some way today. You know you want Taurus, so go for it! You're drawn to items that are natural, rather than man-made, such as clothes made from silk or wool. You enjoy using oils, perfumes and other unguents that make you feel or smell good, but don't overdo it, or you could end up feeling slightly sick.... Auspicious colours are charcoal grey and iridescent pink. Lucky numbers are 34 and 70.
 
It's important that you take care of your money during the next two weeks, and also that you keep a strict eye on your spending. If you're wondering how you're going to be able to afford to buy all those Christmas presents on your list you may have to introduce an economy drive or make other contingency plans. What you can't do is bury your head in the sand and pretend it's not happening because that will lead to more problems in the end. Fortunate colours are dark brown and black. Lucky numbers are 31 and 69.
 
After yesterday, you aren't very sure of yourself today, but be careful about who knows it. They might try to take advantage of your current uncertainty, perhaps by doing you down in some way or simply by putting you on the defensive. There could also be confusion about someone's instructions, with you not understanding what they're talking about. If so, ask them to be clearer. Expressive colours are tartan and bright blue. Lucky numbers are 5 and 70.
 
You're drawn to people who are chalk to your cheese, so don't be surprised if you experience a strong attraction to someone who's the antithesis of you. If a new relationship gets off the ground now, it will be unusual in some way and will bring out aspects of your personality that are normally kept hidden; and it's going to be very exciting! Exciting colours are brilliant white and blood red. Lucky numbers are 28 and 51.
 
A good day to keep a weather eye on your finances, to ensure that everything is on track. For instance, you might want to balance your cheque book, or go through your credit card statements. It's also a good idea to do some research into any investments or major outlays that you're considering at the moment, such as a mortgage or long-term pension plan. Fortunate colours are bright red and midnight black. Lucky numbers are 4 and 53.
 
The emphasis is on partnerships right now, and they become even more important to you from today. During the next few weeks you'll want to do your utmost to ensure that partners are happy, and also to prevent any chance of them getting annoyed with you. However, try to resist a tendency to put your own needs second if it would be far better to say what you want upfront. Liberating colours are sage green and grapefruit. Lucky numbers are 32 and 3.
 
The next four weeks are the ideal time to immerse yourself in your most intimate and close relationships. Make a big effort to analyse why you are involved in the way you are, and what you can learn from the situation. The more honest you are with yourself about this, the more productive the experience will be. So look deeply into yourself. Romantic colours are ivory and peacock blue. Lucky numbers are 9 and 78.
 
You need to develop a tough shell today Taurus, because there's a chilly atmosphere and it has nothing to do with the weather! It seems that someone is being distant or unfriendly, and you imagine that it's because they've gone off you. It's more likely that they're busy with other things, unless this is all part of a long-running saga in which they're giving you the cold shoulder. If so, you should end things now. Stabilising colours are deep purple and pale green. Lucky numbers are 8 and 24.
 
Be ready for a major clash between you and a certain person today. The more it's been brewing, the bigger the fall-out is likely to be. Even though you may be feeling deeply annoyed by what happens now, it's important that you don't make it worse by letting your temper get the better of you and therefore say or do things that you'll regret when you've calmed down. Advantageous colours are aubergine and jade. Lucky numbers are 9 and 74.
 
If your job requires you to be tough or issue orders, your heart simply won't be in it today. Instead, you'd prefer to take a 'softly softly' approach in which you consider other people's needs and back off when necessary. So how are you going to reconcile this dilemma Taurus? You may have to be sneaky about it, but don't leave yourself open to accusations of having double standards. Favourable colours are avocado and almond. Lucky numbers are 27 and 7.
 
Your Angel is Michael, Taurus, who watches over all your strengths and weaknesses and the Angel that rules your sign is Anael. Don't hesitate to call on either of your Angels if you need to, as they work hand in hand with the Stars. You've been in a self-destructive pattern lately and it's starting to tell. Break the mould by doing something completely different, especially on the weekend. Sunny colours are bright yellow and marigold orange. Lucky numbers are 23 and 20.
 
Devote part of today to getting in touch with far-flung friends and family. Give them a ring, send them an email or arrange to see them as soon as possible. You might even be inspired to invite them to stay with you in the near future. It's also a good day for getting together with people from different walks of life because you'll enjoy learning more about the world from them. Communicative colours are yellow and blue. Lucky numbers are 35 and 68.
 
The dynamic personality of you-know-who gives you a massive shot of energy and adrenalin today, making you feel on top of the world. It might be your other half who gives you this life-enhancing boost or it could be a friend, but either way they'll open your eyes to all sorts of exciting possibilities that you hadn't considered until now. Come on, Taurus, live a little! Bold colours are bright red and midnight blue. Lucky numbers are 31 and 25.
 
You're easily swayed by your emotions today, and there may even be times when you abandon rationality and follow your heart instead. Even so, it seems that you'll have to be very clever about knowing what you can say and what is better left unsaid at the moment. You shouldn't stay completely silent but you're in danger of saying too much. Delightful colours are indigo and magenta. Lucky numbers are 18 and 5.
 
Your imagination is your best friend right now because it's allowing you to come up with some fabulous ideas and concepts. What's more, it's working in ways that you wouldn't normally expect because it's guiding you into making right decisions about your finances and long-term goals. It will also help to discuss these with a sympathetic listener. Fortuitous colours are shell pink and baby blue. Lucky numbers are 25 and 58.
 
Today's New Moon highlights your relationships during the rest of the month. It's a fantastic opportunity to make a commitment to someone, such as moving in with them, getting married or embarking on a business venture together. You may also want to adopt a new strategy with a certain person in order to improve the atmosphere between you. Inspirational colours are cornflower blue and sunflower yellow. Lucky numbers are 8 and 67.
 
During the next few weeks you'll feel a strong urge to channel your energy into relationships. You'll want them to be as successful as possible and will do your best to make this happen. However, you'll soon get rather ratty if you suspect that other people don't share your current aims, and you'll also be annoyed if they fail to agree with you on certain points. Be more tolerant! Fortunate colours are treacle and sepia. Lucky numbers are 2 and 52.
 
A certain person is being very cutting today, particularly if they think you're letting the side down in some way or not pulling your weight. Before you develop a total inferiority complex about this, you should realize that this person is probably being completely unreasonable and also that picking on you is a rather unhelpful way to boost their own faltering ego. Be kind to them and see if that makes a difference to their attitude. Fortunate colours are aubergine and aquamarine. Lucky numbers are 24 and 12.
 
It's another day when you're happy to lend a hand wherever it's needed, without any thought for what you might expect in return. Do your best to show compassion and understanding to the people around you, even if you struggle to tolerate them sometimes. Right now, you're prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt and not to expect too much from them. Beneficial colours are lemon and navy. Lucky numbers are 21 and 56.
 
This is a wonderful day for tucking someone under your wing and taking care of them, particularly if they're feeling vulnerable in some way. For instance, if someone isn't very well you'll want to do your Florence Nightingale act on them, even if they're breathing germs all over you. There might also be some delicious romantic developments between you and a colleague. Fortunate colours are ebony and dark yellow. Lucky numbers are 11 and 77.
 
This is a wonderful day for getting together with friends and loved ones. You'll relish the chance to spend some time with them, especially if you're all doing something light-hearted together. You could also hear something nice that massages your ego and reminds you yet again that you are loved by many different people. Sometimes life can be very sweet! Bright colours are pineapple and ochre. Lucky numbers are 16 and 59.
 
If you're a typical Taurean you like to know where you stand. But that isn't the way things are today, particularly when dealing with loved ones and friends. In fact, certain people seem to be going out of their way to shock you, do the opposite of what you suggest and generally try your patience to the limit. There's nothing you can do about this except go with the flow. But can you? Auspicious colours are mango and aqua. Lucky numbers are 17 and 74.
 
If you're celebrating Bonfire Night, or having a belated Hallowe'en party, you couldn't have chosen a better day to whoop it up. You're in the mood to cast caution to the wind and indulge yourself with plenty of delicious food and drink. This might also be a red- letter day on the work front, giving you good reason to raise a glass and toast your own good fortune. Favourable colours are plum and ivory. Lucky numbers are 21 and 49.
 
Be careful because it seems that someone is doing their best to undermine you in subtle but profound ways. There may even be some sort of treachery afoot, and you should certainly be very careful about who you trust. However, you must also be careful not to send out confusing messages yourself, because these could easily be misinterpreted, leading to recriminations later on. Beneficial colours are champagne and dark brown. Lucky numbers are 38 and 32.
 
More haste, less speed! You're trying to do far too much in too short a time, and all you'll achieve will be to go round in circles or get yourself into a total mess. So calm down, take a deep breath and do things one at a time. If you're in too much of a hurry you'll either make a hash of everything and have to start again, or you'll end up in a furious temper and completely at odds with the rest of the world. Fortunate colours are sable and silver. Lucky numbers are 6 and 70.
 
Some straight talking is called for and you're just the person to do it. You won't subject anyone to a ticking off unless it's absolutely necessary, but nevertheless you'll be speaking straight from the shoulder and you won't be mincing your words. This is a marvellous day for taking part in a negotiation or discussion because your mind is as sharp as a razor. Auspicious colours are peach and lilac. Lucky numbers are 25 and 15.
 
Don't expect everything to go according to plan today. Although it's highly unlikely that all your arrangements will unravel before your very eyes, nevertheless you should be prepared for some last- minute changes to take place. You'll have to think on your feet, and also give up any idea that you can control your environment because, right now, you can't. Fortunate colours are primrose yellow and salmon pink. Lucky numbers are 39 and 47.
 
Someone needs to calm down! They're taking everything far too seriously and have long since lost their sense of humour. You may have to treat them like an unexploded bomb because you're frightened of them blowing up in your face. They may also be using some form of emotional blackmail in order to make you do what they want. Resist the temptation to give as good as you get. Communicative colours are pale gold and dark red. Lucky numbers are 2 and 31.
 
Money is burning a hole in your pocket today, especially if you've just been paid or you've got a lot of cash on you. Be strict with yourself about what you buy, otherwise you'll find that you've frittered away a lot more than you thought. If you're going food shopping you'll be tempted to treat yourself to all sorts of edible luxuries, whether you can afford them or not. Opportune colours are honeycomb and silvery grey. Lucky numbers are 20 and 29.
 
During the next few weeks you'll do your utmost to deliver service with a smile. You'll take pride in doing your best at work, and also in maintaining as harmonious a relationship as possible with your colleagues and customers. If you've got the hots for a workmate, things could really start to happen now, so be prepared to be swept off your feet. Sunny colours are shimmering blue and sunflower yellow. Lucky numbers are 25 and 18.
 
Today's eclipsed Full Moon will have a very powerful impact on your personal life during the next couple of weeks. It's telling you to cut out the dead wood from your life, even if this means being quite ruthless or facing up to some unpalatable facts. If you don't make these changes yourself, you'll find that fate takes a hand and does it for you, and this may not be so easy to cope with. Beneficial colours are aqua and cream. Lucky numbers are 29 and 61.
 
If there is something that needs sorting out, you'll be on the case today. You won't want to muck about, either, and will be quite direct about what's wrong. It's an especially good day for getting to grips with official money matters or health problems, particularly if you've been feeling anxious about them for some reason. Beneficial colours are jade and mustard yellow. Lucky numbers are 35 and 65.
 
The best way to relax right now is to do things that you always enjoy and to be with people who lift your spirits. You're in the mood to channel as much energy as possible into your relationships, and you'll expect the same in return from the people you're with. If they fail to live up to your expectations you'll be disappointed and even rather miffed. But don't blow things out of proportion. Prosperous colours are lemon and blueberry. Lucky numbers are 29 and 66.
 
The more sociable you can be today, the happier you'll feel. It's not a day to lock yourself away without seeing a soul unless you don't have any choice in the matter. Friends and acquaintances are good fun and will bring out the best in you. If you're taking part in a group gathering, you'll want to do your bit to make sure it all goes well and you may even take the lead at some point. Inspirational colours are blood red and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 3 and 78.
 
You'll excel at any form of teamwork during the next four weeks, and it will definitely be a time when you're happiest if you can be with other people. You'll also get a strong sense that your own identity is tied up with that of the people in your life, and you may want to give them more power or authority over you than usual. Soothing colours are mother of pearl and lavender. Lucky numbers are 11 and 3.
 
You have plenty of fire to channel into your work, and as a result you'll enjoy doing everything to the best of your ability. This is great if you've been trying to summon up the energy to do something tedious or rather difficult, because you'll happily wade right in now and do your best. This is also a good day for sorting out problems with colleagues by being straightforward. Harmonious colours are apricot and mulberry. Lucky numbers are 32 and 23.
 
It's easy for people to speak out of turn today, especially if they think they've got the upper hand for some reason. For instance, someone in a high position may let their power go to their head a little, making them rather bossy or arrogant. You could also get caught up in an argument over petty details, so the whole thing gets out of hand. Try not to let this happen. Passionate colours are khaki and dark blue. Lucky numbers are 40 and 43.
 
Tread very carefully in all emotional matters today because they're like a minefield. Someone is being very resistant to any hint of change in your relationship, and unfortunately the more threatened they feel the more they'll resist what is being proposed. There could also be some jealous scenes even if these aren't warranted, so be careful not to provoke anyone unnecessarily. Auspicious colours are dark yellow and sky blue. Lucky numbers are 11 and 76.
 
Someone is in an expansive mood today and it's good to be around them. They're full of fun and laughter, so their company is almost guaranteed to make you feel good. But you should take what they're saying with a pinch of salt because it's highly likely that they're spouting exaggerated claims or making promises that they can't keep. If you believe them, you could be disappointed later on. Receptive colours are brilliant white and terracotta. Lucky numbers are 20 and 39.
 
Pay special attention to your finances today by making sure that they're ticking over okay. If a bill has got to be paid within the next few days it's a good idea to get it out of the way now in case you forget about it later on. If there has been a query about the amount of money you earn, or the amount you've got to pay in tax, this is a good opportunity to get to grips with the whole tedious business. Positive colours are burgundy and deep gold. Lucky numbers are 25 and 36.
 
You need to keep an open mind now in order to get the most out of the day. Friends and partners are saying or doing things that will make you raise your eyebrows in surprise. Although your initial instinct may be to reject what you're seeing or hearing as too avant-garde, controversial or challenging, you'll soon change your mind and will find it quite exciting. Favourable colours are ginger and lilac. Lucky numbers are 31 and 60.
 
You're very organized and together this Saturday, which is fantastic for making things happen or talking about important topics. You have no desire to waste time on trivialities, so you'll want to cut to the chase as soon as possible. Nevertheless, you have some important things to say and you'll earn a lot of respect as a result. Calming colours are cherry and platinum. Lucky numbers are 6 and 10.
 
The best way to understand other people right now is to talk to them. And if that doesn't get you very far, you must be prepared to talk to them again until you're both speaking the same language and you have a full understanding of each other. The rest of the month is perfect for taking part in negotiations or discussions, and also for simply listening to what others are telling you. Fortunate colours are charcoal grey and dusky pink. Lucky numbers are 13 and 4.
 
Today's eclipsed New Moon is sending you a powerful message about the importance of taking care of your health over the coming fortnight. It's the ideal opportunity to embark on a new eating plan, to take more exercise or to give yourself a detox. If you want to get into svelte shape for Christmas, then you should start now and take full advantage of the power of the New Moon. Prosperous colours are peach and burnt orange. Lucky numbers are 27 and 62.
 
Someone is being overly critical and sharp today, or so it seems to you. You're getting the distinct impression that you can't do anything right and that you're being a complete klutz. You may also start to doubt your mental abilities, perhaps telling yourself that you're not as clever as you imagine or that you can't measure up to what's expected of you. But how true is this? Maybe you're simply being paranoid and lacking in confidence? Beneficial colours are grapefruit and chocolate. Lucky numbers are 24 and 4.
 
Are you on a diet or healthy eating regime at the moment? If so, you'd better padlock the fridge, throw away the chocolate and banish the alcohol, because this is one of those days when your willpower is as fragile as a snowflake and equally likely to melt away. Unless it's essential that you stick to your usual sensible diet, it's probably best if you give yourself a couple of little treats and then stop. Otherwise, you're likely to resist temptation for only so long before going on a binge. Stabilising colours are creamy white and dark lilac. Lucky numbers are 29 and 36.
 
The emotional temperature rises by several notches today, leading to some hot and heavy scenes. It's one of those days when things take on more significance than usual, making you prone to losing your temper or getting your knickers in a twist. This is especially likely if the antics of a loved one arouse your innate possessiveness or jealousy. Try to play it all down. Steamy colours are mother of pearl and dark green. Lucky numbers are 23 and 18.
 
Want to do yourself a favour? Surround yourself with some of your favourite people, because it will do your soul good to spend time with them. You don't have to do anything very ambitious together, either, so simply sharing a meal or having a gentle chat will keep you perfectly happy. You'll also get a big kick out of doing something creative at some point. Delightful colours are teal blue and silvery peach. Lucky numbers are 5 and 39.
 
You're very keen to get to the bottom of situations today, especially if you suspect that some sort of mystery surrounds them. Although you'll stop short of giving anyone the third degree, nevertheless you'll want to extract the truth from them and you won't be amused if you suspect they're shilly-shallying or keeping something from you. Psychic colours are silvery pink and crimson. Lucky numbers are 13 and 65.
 
Someone is expecting far too much from you. They seem to think that you should be sacrificing yourself on their behalf in some way, and this is throwing up difficult problems. You are perfectly happy to help them but you don't want to give the impression that you're being a doormat. There may also be some discrepancy in your status, which is adding to the current difficulties. Fortunate colours are silver and burgundy. Lucky numbers are 11 and 57.
 
You're excellent at formulating ideas and making your brain work overtime today, and you'll be delighted by the sharpness and incisiveness of your thinking. Some people may accuse you of being rather tough or unsentimental, but right now you know that you have to deal with the facts of the matter, even though they may be quite unpleasant. Strong colours are aubergine and snow white. Lucky numbers are 27 and 66.
 
The success or otherwise of today depends on how willing you are to go with the flow and allow others to be free spirits. If you want to control everything that's happening around you, or restrict a loved one's freedom, you'll soon discover that you're on a collision course with trouble. So grit your teeth and accept that you can't own someone's heart - they must give it to you willingly. Auspicious colours are dark purple and blood red. Lucky numbers are 8 and 77.
 
You're in the perfect position to tackle paperwork, filing and any other mundane tasks that need you to be at your most efficient. It's also a super day for inventing systems that will help you to be more practical or businesslike in the future. However, you won't get much done if you give into the temptation to yak your head off with colleagues. Keep work and play separate! Creative colours are fire engine red and silvery lilac. Lucky numbers are 15 and 46.
 
Matters connected with money, values and sex have a knack of getting under your skin today, so you'll take them a lot more seriously than usual. You'll also be taking yourself more seriously than normal, which could lead to some sticky scenes because of your refusal to be flexible or to allow others to dictate terms. You may want to stand your ground but how far should you take this? Insightful colours are jet black and tangerine. Lucky numbers are 33 and 17.
 
Love will brighten up your world this month, and arrives in many different guises. There will be some wonderful encounters with a few of your favourite people, or just one in particular. If you've been wondering when Cupid would strike, get ready to feel the effect of his arrows any day now. Even if you don't fall in love with someone you'll still receive plenty of affection from others, and you'll want to give it in return. Uplifting colours are ivory and lazuli. Lucky numbers are 20 and 29.
 
Family gatherings are enjoyable right now, provided everyone knows how to behave themselves and keep a tight lid on their feelings. However, if anyone allows themselves to get upset you'll have quite a task on your hands to maintain the status quo. It's a super day for giving your home some attractive decorative touches, and they don't have to cost a fortune, either. Beneficial colours are dark chocolate and pink carnation. Lucky numbers are 13 and 59.
 
Your thoughts are wandering in several directions at once today, which is bad news if you're supposed to concentrating on something important or official. Trying to pin down your thoughts will be about as easy as catching a bar of soap in the bath - they'll keep slipping out of your grasp. If necessary, get someone else to check what you've done or postpone the whole thing until you're more in the mood to tackle it. Harmonious colours are cream and golden honey. Lucky numbers are 23 and 44.
 
Friends are interesting company now and they'll give you plenty to think about. One chum might make some suggestions that seem rather daring or outrageous but which definitely appeal to you. Well, maybe you should give them a try and see what happens next? If you can find the time, you'll enjoy taking part in a group activity or getting to grips with a favourite hobby. Liberating colours are silvery blue and silvery pink. Lucky numbers are 5 and 30.
 
You're thinking and talking big today, and you don't want to put any limit on your imagination. That's perfect if you're normally rather hidebound and reserved, because you'll benefit from pushing yourself further than normal. But if you already have a tendency to hatch overblown or overambitious plans, you might get really carried away now and develop strategies that haven't a hope of ever seeing the light of day. So know your limitations and then you'll do really well. Soothing colours are peach and navy. Lucky numbers are 6 and 35.
 
What's worrying you? Come on, you know that something is, and you aren't going to feel better until you've taken some concrete action. The more you dither or push it to the back of your mind, the more it will haunt you and drain your energy. So take a deep breath, stare it straight in the face and do whatever will alleviate the problem and make life easier for you. Favourable colours are brilliant white and russet. Lucky numbers are 30 and 53.
 
You're blessed with abundant energy and vitality today, which is fabulous. You don't want to sit still and you're hatching some ambitious plans about what you're going to achieve in the course of the day. That's terrific, but do your best to pace yourself otherwise you'll run out of steam halfway through a difficult project or, even worse, end up pulling a muscle. So be sensible! Ideal colours are emerald green and smoky quartz. Lucky numbers are 20 and 41.
 
This is a fantastic day for putting your thoughts into words or getting them down on paper. Your ideas are well organized, you're thinking clearly and you know what you want to say. It's great for having an important conversation with a loved one, in which you're both able to put across your point of view and reach some sort of compromise as a result. Expressive colours are kiwifruit and ginger. Lucky numbers are 15 and 32.
 
From today you must pay more attention to your health and general well-being, and this situation will continue throughout the rest of the year. You might decide to increase the amount of exercise you take every day, or adopt a health regime that's designed to lead to the birth of a brand-new you. Try to avoid too much rich food because it won't agree with you. Bold colours are buttercup yellow and cornflower blue. Lucky numbers are 16 and 8.
 
It's time to introduce some creative and positive changes into some of your emotional relationships. For instance, you might realize that you need to take a different tack with a relative in order to improve the atmosphere between you, or you could reach an important turning point with your lover. The key to this is to behave in ways that will enhance the situation and benefit both of you, rather than simply to go for the option that works solely for you. Expressive colours are hazelnut and apple green. Lucky numbers are 12 and 36.
 
This is a terrific day for getting on with the job in hand, whatever that might be. You're in an efficient and businesslike frame of mind, and this will come across loud and clear to anyone who happens to be around you. You'll shine if you're taking part in a meeting or interview, and you might also get the chance to boost your reputation as a result of the way you deal with others. Inspirational colours are silver and burgundy. Lucky numbers are 28 and 5.
 
You've been eager to enjoy yourself as much as possible during the past four weeks but from today the emphasis shifts to your work and obligations. So you must now be prepared to reduce the amount of time you spend playing and increase the amount of work you do. If you know that you need to make adjustments to your working life, start as you mean to go on. Advantageous colours are teal blue and tangerine. Lucky numbers are 36 and 8.
 
You're in a marvellously expansive and happy mood today, and you want everyone around you to share your current sense of bonhomie. You can't help viewing life from a highly optimistic angle. It looks as though this will be completely justified when it comes to your love life, because someone special is going to make your day, if not your week, or even your entire month if you're really lucky. Favourable colours are cinnamon and crimson. Lucky numbers are 16 and 11.
 
During the past few days you've managed to say exactly the right thing at the right time, which makes what happens today even more frustrating than it would be normally. Instead of being able to choose your words carefully, you're suddenly struggling to keep out of verbal trouble, particularly if someone close to your heart upsets you or makes you feel threatened. You'll say something sharp or unfortunate without even being aware of what you're doing. Soothing colours are apricot and pale gold. Lucky numbers are 15 and 76.
 
Once again you're very diplomatic and tactful today, and you'll be able to win people over to your side or get them to understand what you're talking about. If you've got to break the ice with someone, you'll manage to do it now and, with luck, the temperature between you will quickly become warmer. If it doesn't, it's unlikely to be through any fault of your own. Dynamic colours are bright red and sky blue. Lucky numbers are 9 and 68.
 
Deception is in the air today, so be careful. Someone is trying to pull the wool over your eyes or perhaps you're capable of doing it to yourself. Your behaviour is in marked contrast to yesterday, because you're now in a world of your own and when faced with any unpleasant facts will want to bury your head in the sand and completely ignore them. But is that sensible? Auspicious colours are mother of pearl and golden honey. Lucky numbers are 14 and 8.
 
This is a good day for sorting out any situations that are threatening to wreak havoc or grind to a halt. You're brimming with commonsense right now and it shows! You'll want to do whatever is the most sensible and practical option, and this will involve talking to other people to find out what's going on. Make sure you've got all the facts straight first. Beneficial colours are cherry blossom and dark grey. Lucky numbers are 33 and 2.
 
If you're at work someone will be very kind to you. For instance, a colleague might look out for you in some way or a customer could show how much they appreciate all your efforts. If you're expected to be ruthless or tough today, it will be a struggle to pull this off because your instincts are telling you to be considerate and placatory. You want to be nice, not nasty! Revealing colours are taupe and oak. Lucky numbers are 24 and 36.
 
Today you'll encounter someone who is very special to you, but who's being rather domineering or overwhelming at the moment. You love them but you can't help wishing they'd tone down their personality for a short while because they're showing a tendency to go over the top. All the same, you won't want to dampen their high spirits or spoil their day. Ideal colours are lemon and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 37 and 62.
 
Today's New Moon will bring good news about loved ones during the next two weeks. You could hear about the imminent arrival of a baby, receive an invitation to a party or wedding, or have some other reason for breaking open the champagne and getting out your best clothes. If a love affair gets off the ground now it will make your heart sing with happiness. Aaaah! Fortunate colours are dark gold and rich purple. Lucky numbers are 15 and 67.
 
There have been several occasions recently when you've had cause to doubt the sanity of a certain someone because they're behaving so eccentrically, and this is another day when you can only marvel at their erratic and contrary goings-on. Should you play these down or make a big thing out of them? Bear in mind that your protests are likely to encourage this person to be even weirder than ever, so you may be shooting yourself in the foot. Powerful colours are mulberry and jade. Lucky numbers are 7 and 13.
 
A battle of wills is more than likely today, especially if changes are in the air and someone is fiercely resisting them. Such determination to prevent these changes will be about as much use as trying to stem the tide with a handkerchief but that won't deter this person from stubbornly sticking to their guns and refusing to accept the inevitable. Don't behave like this yourself or you'll face a lot of opposition and hassle. Adventurous colours are charcoal and mustard yellow. Lucky numbers are 32 and 27.
 
Double-check everything if you're filling in forms, writing important letters or doing anything else connected with red tape today. Your mind won't really be on the job and, as a result, you could make some silly mistakes that you'll kick yourself about when you discover them later on. It won't help if someone is subtly trying to undermine you, either. A love letter may arrive out of the blue. Inspirational colours are shimmering brass and shimmering blue. Lucky numbers are 16 and 46.
 
The next few weeks are perfect for giving your brain some enjoyable exercise. That could mean burying your nose in a succession of books and only coming out for food, or you might fancy your chances with competitions, puzzles and pub quizzes. It will be a great time for mixing with children, and you'll enjoy playing with them or going on an adventure together. Favourable colours are platinum and hazelnut. Lucky numbers are 36 and 62.
 
Your powers of attraction are Ace today, so turn them to your advantage. If you're hoping to ensnare a certain someone and convince them that you're the best thing since chocolate ice cream, give it your best shot right now. If they still resist you after you've turned on the charm like a waterfall, they don't deserve you and you're better off without them. Empowering colours are dark blue and peach. Lucky numbers are 7 and 29.
 
Get ready to hear some surprising news today. Someone is likely to drop a mini bombshell or you could discover that a forthcoming social arrangement has to be rejigged. Rather than fret and fume about it, it's much simpler to take it in your stride and wait to see what happens next. If you think about it, you don't really have much choice, do you? Inspirational colours are lime and lemon. Lucky numbers are 11 and 38.
 
It's one of those days when you've got to be strict with yourself about your spending, otherwise you could end up parting with more money than you bargained for. You know the sort of thing that can happen - you see something you'd like to buy, then you can't decide which colour to get and so you end up splashing out on one in every colour you fancy. Not good news! Dynamic colours are green and basalt. Lucky numbers are 21 and 55.
 
During the next few weeks you'll enjoy putting your artistic talents to good use around your home. Maybe the place could do with a facelift, in which case you'll soon come up with some inspirational ideas. Or perhaps something less drastic is needed, such as rearranging the furniture, changing the ornaments or cleaning the curtains. Beneficial colours are amber and silver. Lucky numbers are 6 and 31.
 
Let's face it, people aren't always as accommodating and flexible as they are at the moment, so if you're wise you'll make the most of it. Do your best to butter up anyone who needs the soft-soap treatment because a little tact will go a long way now. How about inviting a neighbour round for a drink or making an effort to talk to them, even if they aren't exactly your favourite person. Powerful colours are dark purple and tangerine. Lucky numbers are 8 and 22.
 
You're raring to go and keen to be as active as possible today. It's the sort of day when you're easily bored so you'll need plenty of distractions to keep you busy. It's great for doing something sporty or athletic, especially if you're being competitive in the process. Naturally, you'll want to win! Inspirational colours are jet black and blood red. Lucky numbers are 13 and 12.
 
This is another great day for enjoyment and fun whenever possible. You're in a very light-hearted mood right now and this will rub off on most of the people you meet. If you've currently got high hopes that your relationship with you-know-who will develop into something wonderful, what happens now will have you jumping for joy. Favourable colours are silvery blue and ochre. Lucky numbers are 31 and 58.
 
During the past few days it hasn't been easy to get going on domestic arrangements and decisions, because so much has been out of your hands or just hanging in the balance. But all that should start to change from today, thank goodness, and you'll begin to make progress again. In the meantime, celebrate by doing something enjoyable with some of your favourite people because it's exactly what you're in the mood for. Beautiful colours are claret and cream. Lucky numbers are 26 and 44.
 
Make an effort to get on well with older friends and relatives today, especially if they can sometimes be slightly tricky. You shouldn't have any problems with them right now, particularly if you go out of your way to understand their point of view and listen to what they're saying. If you offer to do them a favour or help them out in some way, then so much the better. Liberating colours are smoky quartz and smouldering purple. Lucky numbers are 20 and 27.
 
It's a tricky day, so be careful. You're in need of company but the people you seek out won't have as much time for you as you'd like. They may be genuinely busy with other things, but if you aren't careful you'll convince yourself that they're making excuses because they don't really want to see you. Try not to believe that you've been given the brush off unless the evidence is overwhelming.
 
Strange things could happen with a friend during the next two weeks, giving you an entirely new perspective on them. You might decide that you need to have a word in their ear about something, particularly if you don't want it to happen again. Or you could realize that your feelings for them are changing and you need to do something about it.
 
This is a good day for getting together with some of the family because you'll enjoy one another's company. However, someone could get their knickers in a twist, which will lead to a tricky atmosphere and possibly even some raised voices. This is especially likely if the conversation strays into memories of the past, with people arguing about what really happened.
 
Be careful today because your emotions are in a state of flux, which could lead to confusion and mixed messages. You should be especially aware of this when dealing with people of power or influence, in case you give them the wrong impression. It will also be difficult to keep track of your thoughts, so you'll appear to be absent-minded or distracted.
 
If you get fed up with being thought of as a placid or pragmatic Taurean, you'll jump at the chance to show a different side to your personality today. In fact, the more you suspect that you've been put into a pigeon hole by other people, the more you'll want to do things that make them sit up and take notice. It's a question of how outrageous you dare to be!
 
You're in a competitive and adventurous mood today, making you keen to get involved in all sorts of interesting activities. You could even be inspired to do something for the first time, especially if it presents you with a bit of a challenge. Although you'll enjoy feeling your adrenalin racing around your veins, don't do anything totally rash or foolhardy.
 
Between now and the start of September you should think carefully about any family or domestic plans that are currently in the pipeline. Unforeseen snags could crop up, forcing you to re-evaluate your ideas and possibly even come up with some different solutions. Alternatively, projects may go cold for the time being and you'll just have to be patient.
 
Still waters run deep today, so even if a loved one isn't saying much it doesn't mean that they're impervious to what's going on around them. You can bet that they're taking it all in, and probably getting into a bit of a state about it. If you suspect that someone is brooding, it's a good idea to encourage them to talk about what's on their mind, even if it makes uncomfortable listening.
 
There's nothing you'll like better today than having a good old natter with whoever happens to be around. Ideally, you should get together with someone who makes your world go round and then chat away about whatever pops into your head. If you meet someone new now you'll share a relationship in which communications are highlighted for some reason.
 
Life will be very pleasant and enjoyable during the next four weeks, with plenty of things to keep you amused. Much to your delight, there will be times when you're the centre of everyone's affection, which will do wonders for your ego. The atmosphere between you and your favourite people will be even sweeter than usual, so there's a lot to look forward to.
 
There's a lot of pleasure to be gained from getting on with domestic and other routine chores today. You'll enjoy gradually ticking them all off your list of things to do, and you'll also take trouble with them so you do them to the best of your ability. If you can spare the time you'll enjoy pottering about in the kitchen or throwing out old belongings you no longer need.
 
You've got a lot on your plate today and it's getting you down. This could have an impact on your health, making you feel tired or lethargic, and possibly even making you susceptible to any germs that happen to be flying about. If you're really struggling to get everything done in time you may have to ask for help or accept that you can't work miracles and something's got to give.
 
A friend is prone to some very erratic thinking today, so there's no knowing what they're going to say or do next. You may even suspect that they're taking a perverse delight in keeping you on your toes or being rather contrary. Try not to take what they say as gospel in case they're talking complete nonsense.
 
A loved one seems to be operating much faster than usual. They may be talking nineteen to the dozen, so you can barely keep up with what they're saying, and their thought processes have also been speeded up. This will be fun but unfortunately it may also mean that they soon start to get impatient if they think you're lagging behind. Try to keep the atmosphere light-hearted to avoid things degenerating into a row.
 
You're able to combine practicality with creativity today, and that will be a very constructive combination. You stand a good chance of achieving whatever you set out to do, especially if you're relying on other people to give you their support or co-operate in some way. A relationship will also flourish now because you're both putting so much effort into it.
 
You've been spending a lot of time concentrating on your home and family lately, and today's New Moon is a super opportunity to make any changes or decisions that you think are necessary. For instance, if you've been wondering when to put your house on the market or redesign your garden, it would be a wise move to get the ball rolling within the next two weeks.
 
The best way to get on well with someone now is to spend time talking to them. If you can't see them in person, give them a ring or write them a letter so they know you're thinking about them. Any form of discussion will go smoothly now, so it's a good opportunity to bring up any difficult topics you've been avoiding.
 
There are three things you're after today - enjoyment, love and laughter. As a result, you'll want to steer clear of anything that smacks of hard work, drudgery or duty. It's a lovely day for being with some of your favourite people, perhaps sharing a meal or a having a drink together. A trip to a beauty spot or the cinema will also appeal to you now.
 
Some of the people in your life are very unpredictable today, and as a result social arrangements could face lots of disruptions. Do your best to go with the flow and to see where it takes you, because it could lead you in some highly enjoyable directions. You might also be strongly attracted to someone who isn't normally your cup of tea but who is definitely to your taste right now.
 
The more understanding you can show towards a certain person, the better you'll get on with them now. Even if they're a bit of a mystery and you can't work them out, they'll appreciate the effort you're making to find out what makes them tick. You may never end up being bosom buddies but your present attitude will make them more sympathetic towards you.
 
A local event or neighbourhood activity goes really well today, helped along by your current ability to bring out the best in others. A few well-chosen words could make all the difference to what happens now, and you'll definitely prefer to mollify people than to rub them up the wrong way. Remember that if you've got to do something that you aren't looking forward to.
 
The next six weeks will be a fantastic opportunity to cram as much fun into your life as possible. You'll have a very strong desire to enjoy yourself whenever you get the chance, and that will include making the most of your love life. If you get involved with someone new, the thrill of the chase will be a big part of the fun. Take care, though, not to confuse love with lust.
 
Watch out, because you're in a rather combustible mood right now and it won't take much to make you go off bang. What's wrong? You could be feeling got at, especially if a loved one has been nagging you or is being grumpy. There is also a chance that you're subconsciously goading someone into losing their temper so you can have a rip-roaring row with them.
 
Life is a cabaret today! Well, you may not want to put on the fishnet tights and the bowler hat, but you certainly feel like dancing and singing. What's brought this on? It may be nothing more than a sense of being at one with the world, and a determination to look on the bright side and make the best of whichever cards life has dealt you. When you think about it, what else can you do?
 
During the coming four weeks you'll excel at bringing out the best in the people around you. For instance, if a neighbour is usually a total pain in the neck, you may even manage to perform a miracle by appealing to their better nature and keeping them sweet. So make the most of your tact and diplomacy, because they'll be your best friends this month.
 
Prepare yourself for a difficult day. For a start, you seem riddled with self-doubt and a lack of direction, and this will be exploited by anyone who wants to get the better of you. You're also facing big changes connected with a relationship or financial arrangement, and right now you aren't very keen on the idea. But can you do anything to stop it?
 
You're in a sentimental and emotional mood today, without going overboard or getting worked up. In an ideal world, you should surround yourself with loved ones, or spend time with one special person, and revel in their company. It's also a super day for luxuriating in your home comforts.
 
A friend needs plenty of attention at the moment which is okay if you can spare the time, but can you? It's highly likely that you've got other claims on your time, in which case you'll have to be very tactful if you're to avoid upsetting this person or making them feel that they aren't important enough to you. You may also receive an invitation that you can't get out of, even if you would like to.
 
Put your brain to good use now because you're in a very rational and logical frame of mind. It's a super day for showing how organized and practical you can be, without getting bogged down in details or becoming a stick-in-the-mud. If you get involved in a discussion or negotiation, your intellect and common sense will shine through.
 
Today you're very keen on any activities that will brighten up your life and give you something fresh to think about. As a result, you could become interested in a new hobby that seems to offer you a lot of scope, or you might consider joining a club or organization that's slightly unusual. Some of your ideas may also seem quite radical to you, yet they are worth following up.
 
Is there any chance that you-know-who has been taken over by aliens? Weird as that may sound, right now it seems a distinct possibility judging by the strange things they're doing and saying. However, there could be some logic in their actions, even though it's escaping you at the moment. So try to go with the flow, be as open minded as possible and not make pre-conceived judgements about what this person is saying.
 
It's time to assess the progress of your long-term goals. However, you'll have to be honest with yourself, otherwise the whole thing will be a waste of effort. So evaluate all your current projects to see how they're progressing. If you realize that your heart is no longer in something, it will be far better to jettison it now than to continue with it because you're scared of what people will say if you abandon it. Do what you know is right and let them say what they like. Positive colours are champagne and salmon. Lucky numbers are 37 and 61.
 
Think twice before being drawn into discussions and philosophical arguments today because they'll soon take a serious turn and then it will be difficult to extricate yourself from them. You may also have to listen to someone who gets on their soap box and treats you to a lecture. Try not to behave this way yourself, even though it might be strangely tempting. Fortunate colours are caramel and persimmon. Lucky numbers are 35 and 70.
 
Keep your mind as active as possible today. You're interested in a wide range of ideas and activities right now, and want to devote as much time to them as possible.

There is a strong emphasis on your domestic arrangements at the moment and this is a great day to check that everything is running smoothly.

Someone has steam coming out of their ears today, making them difficult to be around. They seem to have worked themselves up into a right old state, especially if you privately consider that they're ranting on about nothing much at all. Mind you, you might decide that it's more than your life is worth to say so because you'll only get an earful. Keep your head down! Dynamic colours are electric blue and electric pink. Lucky numbers are 8 and 41.
 
Financial arrangements are fraught with problems today, including the distinct possibility that someone will pressure you into doing what they want.

The green-eyed monster might also cause trouble with a loved one. What a day! Advantageous colours are sepia and coffee. Lucky numbers are 39 and 72.
 
If you've got the day off you should try to do as little as possible! Yes, it's one of those days when you're feeling very relaxed and laid back, and you want to take things gently.

Favourable colours are chestnut and navy. Lucky numbers are 3 and 60.
 
There's a very easy going atmosphere between you and the people you encounter at work today, whether these are bosses, colleagues or customers.

You could be inspired to improve the appearance of your surroundings at work, even if that only means putting a vase of flowers on your desk. Ideal colours are pistachio and toffee. Lucky numbers are 4 and 30.
 
Between now and late August you'll want to spend a lot of time with familiar people, such as some of your nearest and dearest.

This will also be a good opportunity to concentrate on your domestic plans and arrangements, especially if they could do with some improvements or modifications. Auspicious colours are butterscotch and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 5 and 70.
 
Whenever you possibly can, you should make enjoyment your number one priority today. This shouldn't be difficult because, let's face it, in your present mood you'll do almost anything to avoid unpleasant or boring activities. What's more, you're blessed with enough charm right now to come up with some convincing and tactful excuses if needs be. Uplifting colours are bright red and jet black. Lucky numbers are 19 and 33.
 
It's one of those days when money flows out of your bank account like a receding tide, and you'll have a whale of a time in the process.

As for your love life, some of the delicious events that are lined up will have you dancing on air. Beneficial colours are silvery grey and plum. Lucky numbers are 10 and 45.
 
A family member is in a very chatty mood today, as you'll soon realize when they start talking and barely draw breath. You'll need the verbal equivalent of a shoehorn if you want to get a word in edgeways, and when you try this and fail you might even get rather ratty. Do your best to avoid getting defensive or huffy. It really isn't worth it. Auspicious colours are gold and silver. Lucky numbers are 6 and 58.
 
This is one of those irritating days in which you should avoid starting any new activities or ventures. They simply won't pan out the way you want, so you might as well hold your fire for the time being and relax instead. If you're getting together with some of your nearest and dearest today, be prepared for slight hitches that will disrupt the smooth-running of your arrangements. Inspirational colours are mother of pearl and strawberry. Lucky numbers are 4 and 73.
 
There's a New Moon today and it's encouraging you to talk about whatever is uppermost in your mind at the moment.

You might be taking more short journeys than usual during the rest of July. Fortunate colours are claret and cream. Lucky numbers are 9 and 60.
 
Certain people seem to be going out of their way to trip you up or restrict your progress today, and there won't be much you can do about it.

Lucky numbers are 14 and 62.
 
Don't expect the day to go exactly as you were hoping because there are changes of plan at some point. Don't worry because these are unlikely to be disruptive or irritating.

Inspirational colours are silvery pink and silvery blue. Lucky numbers are 15 and 20.
 
It's a good day for keeping in touch with friends and family. You don't have to talk about anything very important - simply making contact with them will be enough to make you feel good. You're planning on some retail therapy Taurus, so it would be wise to take someone along for advice and company. Maybe you could find time for a visit to your favourite cafe? Beneficial colours are brass and rust brown. Lucky numbers are 2 and 74.
 
You could be forgiven for thinking that a certain someone doesn't know what they're talking about. Well, that's the impression they're giving at any rate, because they seem to be making things up as they go along or talking through the back of their head. Be selective about what you believe, and if in doubt check what they're telling you. Powerful colours are navy and tan. Lucky numbers are 4 and 65.
 
Do your best to avoid getting new projects off the ground today because they're likely to go pear shaped.

Instead, concentrate on ventures that are already up and running. Fortunate colours are raspberry and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 1 and 58.
 
You're very busy today, with plenty to keep you happily occupied, but you're unlikely to be rushing around like a chicken with its head cut off. Instead, you'll be in touch with lots of people or take a short journey. This is also a good opportunity to talk to someone who lives nearby, especially if they always have to be humoured in some way. Beneficial colours are dusky rose and smoky purple. Lucky numbers are 18 and 66.
 
This is a fantastic day for gathering the family around you and having a mini conference about whatever is important to you all at the moment. For instance, if you're planning on moving house soon, this would be a good opportunity to discuss all the arrangements. However, be prepared for the atmosphere to become slightly heated when talking about certain topics. Harmonious colours are burnt orange and lemon. Lucky numbers are 8 and 15.
 
Be careful what you blurt out in the heat of the moment or when you feel vulnerable, because you could accidentally reveal certain facts that you were trying to keep under your hat. Unfortunately, this looks like being a tricky day because tempers are frayed and you've got a lot of nervous energy that needs a constructive outlet if you want to avoid winding yourself up. Prosperous colours are lavender and magenta. Lucky numbers are 16 and 39.
 
You're at your most practical and efficient today, especially if you're writing letters, making phone calls or trying to find out some information.

Lucky numbers are 11 and 43.
 
Tread carefully today because certain people will get themselves into a state, especially if they're feeling jealous or possessive.

If you're annoyed with someone it will be better to say so outright than to convey your message with a moody silence or gigantic sulk. Empowering colours are taupe and russet. Lucky numbers are 17 and 62.
 
Once again you're wreathed in smiles, which will do wonders for your popularity.

You might also end up taking the lead in some way, even if this is only a temporary arrangement. Favourable colours are peach and aqua. Lucky numbers are 23 and 35.
 
There's no danger of you being assailed by the Monday blues because you're grinning from ear to ear.

For instance, there could be an interesting invitation and you will also have a good laugh with one of your favourite people. Fortunate colours are mango and plum. Lucky numbers are 7 and 45.
 
During the next three weeks your thoughts will never be far from home and family. Even if you're miles away from them, you'll be doing a lot of thinking about them. If your nearest and dearest are flung far and wide, this is the ideal opportunity to start organizing a reunion or to make contact with some relatives that you haven't spoken to in ages. Beneficial colours are terracotta and burgundy. Lucky numbers are 3 and 64.
 
The planets are emphasizing yesterday's theme by highlighting any situation that calls for careful thought. However, you'll show a tendency to rush into judgements and leap to conclusions, which won't help matters one jot. You should also beware of people who want to show off by appearing to be more clever than they really are. Bear in mind that a lot of what they're saying right now is probably sheer waffle. Bold colours are rich purple and bright gold. Lucky numbers are 7 and 4.
 
Today's Full Moon gives you plenty to think about over the coming two weeks. What's more, you'll have to view situations from more than one angle in order to work out what's going on, so don't fall into the trap of thinking you've got all the answers in five minutes flat. There's even a chance that you'll be forced to rethink a belief or outlook that you've relied on in the past but which no longer seems such a certainty. Auspicious colours are pure white and azure. Lucky numbers are 16 and 26.
 
You're in a quiet and meditative mood today, thinking about things very deeply. You may even feel rather impatient or agitated with anyone who wants to focus on the lighter side of life while you'd rather discuss what you consider to be serious issues. Deep and meaningful topics will occupy your thoughts, but don't lose your sense of humour in the process. Stabilising colours are silver and brilliant red. Lucky numbers are 21 and 78.
 
You're raring to go today, especially when it comes to domestic and family matters. You may even start to feel rather impatient if you suspect that certain people aren't moving as fast as you'd like. It's one thing to chivvy them along but don't bully them. If you've been considering buying items to improve your home, have a look at what's on offer but decide whether you can afford them before taking the plunge and buying them. Auspicious colours are silvery green and copper. Lucky numbers are 19 and 42.
 
Financial matters get back on track today, and not before time as far as you're concerned. Certain people may alter their allegiances, making them more sympathetic towards you. This is a good day for keeping abreast of local news, perhaps by having a chat with a neighbour and catching up on all the latest gossip. Opportune colours are dusky pink and violet. Lucky numbers are 3 and 42.
 
Maybe it's a reaction to the gloom of the past couple of days, but you're feeling restless and easily bored. Ideally, you should abandon at least part of your usual routine and do something radically different instead. Not only will this make you feel more lively, it will also bring you into contact with fresh ideas and new developments which you might otherwise have missed. Harmonious colours are butterscotch and dark green. Lucky numbers are 21 and 37.
 
If you've been unable to shrug off yesterday's downbeat mood, then it's time for some serious action.

Instead, discuss them with someone who is willing to listen and give you some constructive advice. This will help you to put everything in its proper perspective. Ideal colours are scarlet and ivory. Lucky numbers are 14 and 21.
 
You're moping around as though you've got the cares of the world on your shoulders and it's making you feel wretched. Your energy may also have drained away, leaving you feeling like a limp rag. So what's wrong? You need to face up to whatever is bugging you and do something about it, otherwise it will continue to dominate your thoughts and ruin your day. Auspicious colours are blueberry and blackberry. Lucky numbers are 22 and 59.
 
If something happened yesterday that you have concerns about, do your best to discuss it today. You'll find it easy to put your feelings into words, without making a big song and dance about things or expressing them badly. Remember to keep a light touch because that will prevent the situation getting bogged down. Your sense of humour is your greatest ally right now, so use it. Favourable colours are plum and golden honey. Lucky numbers are 31 and 30.
 
A certain person is being touchy and tricky, and you need to handle them with care. They're investing everything with too much importance as far as you're concerned, making them liable to moods and huffs. They may also be feeling sidelined emotionally, and therefore determined to reassert themselves in your affections, even though the method they choose is self-defeating. Beneficial colours are platinum and mahogany. Lucky numbers are 8 and 32.
 
Between now and early August you'll have a strong drive to devote yourself to your home and family whenever you get the chance. There may be a sense of urgency in all this, perhaps because you've set yourself a deadline and you're determined to meet it, or simply because you want to get certain tasks out of the way as soon as possible. So give it all your best shot. Expressive colours are aqua and crimson. Lucky numbers are 27 and 14.
 
You'll fare best today if you can be flexible, especially when plans change at the last minute and you're compelled to think on your feet. The more you can go with the flow, the easier everything will be and you might even start to enjoy not knowing what's round the corner. You might also come up with some radical or futuristic ideas that are well worth pursuing. Liberating colours are chestnut and teal blue. Lucky numbers are 5 and 49.
 
During the coming four weeks you'll enjoy getting involved with local issues and neighbourhood concerns.

Oh dear, a certain person is rather hot under the collar today. They're in the sort of mood where they're likely to bite your head off as soon as you open your mouth, so you'd be wise to give them as wide a berth as possible or to choose your words carefully when you're with them. Try not to respond by being equally bad-tempered or touchy, because that won't help at all. Empowering colours are old gold and royal purple. Lucky numbers are 25 and 41.
 
This is a glorious day for your love life because you're in such a wonderfully expansive and affectionate mood, and so is that special person. So indulge yourselves when you get together and do something special. Maybe this is the perfect excuse to treat yourselves to a romantic dinner in a restaurant, or to have a private celebration at home. Creative colours are ginger and aubergine. Lucky numbers are 35 and 7.
 
There's a lot of talk flying around today. The question is whether it's going to achieve anything or whether it will just be an excuse for people to yak away about whatever pops into their heads. Do your best to steer the conversation in sensible directions, and don't be sidetracked by interesting, but unnecessary diversions. Beneficial colours are primrose yellow and burnt orange. Lucky numbers are 20 and 70.
 
Today's New Moon encourages you to sum up the thoughts and experiences you've had over the past four weeks and to take some constructive action over them.

Uplifting colours are taupe and apricot. Lucky numbers are 29 and 74.
 
Surround yourself with objects and people that give you pleasure! This doesn't have to cost a fortune, even though you'll be tempted to have fun with your cheque book or credit card.

Lucky numbers are 39 and 69.
 
So far this month, there've been a couple of instances when certain people have refused to adapt to changes and move with the times; unfortunately, you're faced with another example of this obstinacy today. Even though you might want to scream with frustration, it's no good trying to talk them round because that will make them even more determined to stand their ground. All you can do right now is to respect their decision and leave them to it. Prosperous colours are bright gold and silver. Lucky numbers are 11 and 9.
 
Efficiency and diligence are your watchwords today, and you want to be as practical and responsible as possible. When you're talking to others be polite, but don't waste time on anything unnecessary. It's a terrific day for taking part in a discussion or meeting, and your commonsense attitude will win you some admiring glances. Stabilising colours are banana and peach. Lucky numbers are 12 and 33.
 
Let your imagination flow, particularly when thinking about how to advance your career or make progress with long-term goals. However, you have to tread a fine line between rising to challenges and knowing your own limitations. Strange as it may seem, daydreaming could be very productive now so take note of the ideas that come to you when your mind wanders. Dynamic colours are violet and lavender. Lucky numbers are 38 and 5.
 
You're silver-tongued and highly communicative today, so make the most of it while it lasts. Use this opportunity to talk to others about whatever is uppermost in your mind at the moment.

Opportune colours are burgundy and pink. Lucky numbers are 23 and 5.
 
You have to proceed with great care today if you want to avoid stirring up trouble or opposition. It seems that certain people are feeling very threatened by the prospect of change, and as a result are determined to cling to the status quo no matter what the cost. Do your best to avoid behaving in this way yourself because it won't do you any favours. Be more flexible if possible. Favourable colours are lemon and lime. Lucky numbers are 2 and 34.
 
You're very fond of you-know-who but you can't help wondering what on earth they're talking about today. They're full of bright ideas and high hopes, but most of these seem to have more to do with wishful thinking than reality, as far as you're concerned. Even so, beware of pouring cold water over all their schemes because you never know, they could be on to a winner with some of them. Fortunate colours are blackberry and crimson. Lucky numbers are 4 and 27.
 
Prepare for some shocks and surprises today! You might have to cope with an unexpected event, or someone makes a suggestion that leaves you open-mouthed with astonishment. It's not a good day for making decisions connected with your finances because your thoughts are all over the place and you might therefore choose an option that turns out to be more trouble than it's worth. Inspirational colours are silvery grey and sable. Lucky numbers are 30 and 49.
 
It's a fabulous day for talking about matters connected with money and your what you value, because you'll find it easy to put across your views without treading on anyone's toes.

Read about today's historic Transit of Venus. Outstanding colours are peacock blue and sunflower yellow. Lucky numbers are 11 and 25.
 
This is a marvellous day for getting on with the business at hand, whatever that happens to be. You don't want to waste your time on what you see as frivolities, yet you won't want to get bogged down in a lot of serious stuff either. Instead, you want to keep ahead of the game, do your best and be as efficient as possible. All of which you should manage quite easily. Harmonious colours are pistachio and hazelnut. Lucky numbers are 23 and 17.
 
You're in a chatty mood but you won't want to talk about trivia. Instead, you relish getting your teeth into some serious topics and showing that you know what you're talking about. It's an especially good day for talking to people who are older or more influential than you, and you'll create a very good impression if that's what you want to happen. Lucky colours are ebony and snow white. Lucky numbers are 2 and 35.
 
During the coming fortnight it's important for you to think deeply about your current financial situation. Go through paperwork, and make sure you know what's happening and what is being done in your name. If you aren't certain about what to do for the best, pick the brains of a financial whizz, such as your bank manager or a clued-up friend. Opportune colours are spring green and mustard yellow. Lucky numbers are 1 and 52.
 
Your spirits are high and you're feeling great! It's a super day for doing whatever appeals to you, provided it involves plenty of enjoyment and laughter. The thought of struggling through a pile of work is likely to leave you cold, and you'll be tempted to put it off until you're more in the mood. If you can, visit somewhere new now. Expressive colours are antique gold and lilac. Lucky numbers are 25 and 69.
 
Get involved in financial transactions at your peril today, because certain people will use them as a stick to beat you with. For instance, if you ask someone to lend you money they'll either make you feel guilty about it or dredge up all sorts of past instances when their trust was betrayed. You would also be well advised to avoid any show of possessiveness or jealousy, even if you feel it, unless you truly don't care about the disastrous outcome. Stabilising colours are mother of pearl and silvery pink. Lucky numbers are 38 and 36.
 
Be careful if you're supposed to be saving money, because it's likely to fly through your fingers in no time at all today.

Indulgence is the key here, and you'll also want to push the boat out if you're going to a restaurant for a meal. You'll work your way through the menu, regardless of the cost. Expressive colours are violet and pale blue. Lucky numbers are 10 and 77.
 
Someone is full of talk today and the trouble is that they won't know when to shut up. They ramble on about all sorts of trivial details, not realizing that you have neither the time nor the inclination to listen to them, especially if you've heard it all before. The temptation will be to get impatient or ratty, but is that really necessary? Uplifting colours are azure and pumpkin. Lucky numbers are 32 and 5.
 
You should be feeling cheerful, indulgent and very optimistic. The only cloud on the horizon is if you assume that everything is going to fall into place, without making any effort.

Harmonious colours are strawberry and cream. Lucky numbers are 3 and 27.
 
Be careful when driving or operating machinery, as minor accidents are in the stars at the moment. Your tendency to blame others won't go down too well.

You could find yourself involved in noisy confrontations with family members or close companions. Positive colours are lemon and aqua. Lucky numbers are 62 and 13.
 
You will find yourself working hard and dealing with a lot of responsibility today, so you need to boost your stamina by looking after yourself for a change. Your emotions are tied up with your working situation, and indeed with your health for a couple of days. If you are feeling jangled emotionally, you have to watch that your body doesn't suffer. Make sure you are putting energy into eating well, relaxing and generally looking after your health. Suitable colours are marmalade and lilac. Lucky numbers are 51 and 11.
 
Neptune around now is a great healer, not in a dramatic way but by gently soothing. It is an influence that disappears very quickly in the hurry and scurry of modern living. If you can connect to it then you will find not just that you feel physically better, but that you also have a deeper sense of meaning and purpose. You could be pulled into a tricky situation and end up feeling a touch frustrated or blocked. Fortunate colours are burgundy and silver. Lucky numbers are 9 and 2.
 
There are surprises in store, particularly where relationships are concerned. Treat whatever happens as a challenge and an adventure, and not a threat. If you or your partner cling to each other too firmly, you may run the risk of breaking up. You're both restless and need to channel that energy, perhaps by taking an adventurous holiday together. You'll will be straight on your high horse if you see anyone's freedom being threatened, especially your own. Soothing colours are copper and brass. Lucky numbers are 8 and 27.
 
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. But even if you're at work, you need some kind of protective niche where you're pushing away awkward people, hassles and hustle. Maybe you are slightly resentful about old obligations, whether they are over cash or other emotional matters. Beneficial colours are taupe and burnished gold. Lucky numbers are 57 and 16.
 
There's no point in giving up in disgust - tackle problems head on in a persistent, rational way. Focus on the essentials and keep quietly forging your way ahead and you will suddenly find the road clears in front of you. Saturn hanging around you could create obstacles, setbacks and delays, so a breakdown in communications are quite likely. Auspicious colours are almond and jade. Lucky numbers are 63 and 11.
 
The atmosphere around you now stimulates your intellectual curiosity. If you want to talk, exchange ideas or travel, you will find that you get better responses than usual.

Harmonious colours are warm brown and silvery pink. Lucky numbers are 6 and 58.
 
Your boredom threshold is low again, so try to organise a full schedule for yourself. Run with your enthusiasms when they arise, since they will not be long lived. You move smartly around a busy schedule with more comings and goings, conversations, meetings and general chit-chat than usual. You want to have contact with neighbours, work mates and siblings. You're in grasshopper mode. Ideal colours are bright orange and lime. Lucky numbers are 3 and 50.
 
You are feeling optimistic and you think you can do twice as much. Routine bores you again today, so you'll be involved in activities that give you a sense of meaning. You want to fulfil some greater purpose than just slogging through the daily grind. If you feel that you aren't being listened to, you'll turn up the volume and you won't put up with anyone who gets in your way. Fortunate colours are candy pink and sugar white. Lucky numbers are 9 and 28.
 
You hate routine at the moment and don't want to do the same boring old things. You whizz around madly, which is good for you and everyone else, as it keeps everyone on their toes. You are grappling with fundamental and confidential issues, and emotional ones as well at the moment. You're not in the mood to compromise or co-operate. Opportune colours are sapphire blue and emerald green. Lucky numbers are 6 and 37.
 
You are drawn to the good life and all it brings with it, which never comes cheap. Be very careful, Taurus. You won't be happy unless you can protect your nest egg as well. Take advantage of opportunities that come your way - relationships with loved ones and children will be especially good at the moment. Jupiter in your chart of creativity and self expression makes more entertaining than usual, confident, flamboyant and very lucky. Beneficial colours are platinum and buttercup yellow. Lucky numbers are 8 and 34.
 
You're self sufficient and self absorbed today. No wonder! The New Moon is in your sign now, so your personal magnetism is magnificent and any projects you start are bound to succeed. You want to be the centre of attention all day. Team dynamics are tricky at the moment as the focus is on you, but if you keep your ego under control, you can steer them in the right direction. Keep your temper under control. Beneficial colours are pale pink and purple. Lucky numbers are 7 and 5.
 
You're a bit fidgety and edgy during the next few days, and you feel the need to be loved and protected, even more than usual. It's important to have solid, reassuring mates around you now. Disillusion dogs you, especially if you push your self-centred aims at work, or at home. Back off! You have the capacity and spirit to care for others, Taurus, so do it. Not only will it bring you respect, more importantly, it will give you self respect. Empowering colours are dark red and navy. Lucky numbers are 5 and 24.
 
You need to do something new and exciting; try being creative and shake your life up a bit. You seek new friends now, as the old ones seem stale and rather boring. Don't expect total reliability from new teammates though - check them out thoroughly first, since Venus turns retrograde today. If you can trust them and get them on side, you'll be challenged and enlivened by group activities during this planetary period. Fortunate colours are charcoal grey and indigo. Lucky numbers are 2 and 60. Read more on Venus Retrograde.
 
Your boredom threshold is still very low and you may jump into action just to avoid the tedious process of making considered decisions. Take account of all the facts. You don't feel like socialising, but there are other activities that attract you. Anything mystical or spiritual holds your attention, since you are tuned into deeper levels of awareness. You feel helpful and compassionate to other people. Auspicious colours are silvery green and antique gold. Lucky numbers are 3 and 59.
 
More restless than usual and with a low boredom threshold, Bulls keep on the move. You should visit as many friends as possible, chatting and exchanging ideas. You are good at mental activities, with a sharp eye, and the ability to put ideas across clearly. You need to think before you speak, as mates could be startled by your direct comments. Appropriate colours are ice blue and melon pink. Lucky numbers are 4 and 17.
 
Thinking fast, you have a more cutting tongue than usual and don't suffering fools or slowcoaches gladly. Try to wind down by treating yourself to a small indulgence. Normally a sign who likes beautiful things around, you'll be feeling extravagant for a few weeks. Are you trying to make up for a lack you feel elsewhere? Don't assume that money is the same as your personal values. Balancing colours are hazelnut and grapefruit. Lucky numbers are 6 and 72.
 
Lay down plans for the next twelve months, Taurus. Get cracking with this and once you have got yourself together, you can concentrate on close relationships. Money is a tricky subject at the moment so you do need to be absolutely straightforward in your dealings and avoid any connections with unsavoury people. You do not have total control, so soft-pedal a little on demands. Lucky colours are pale green and burgundy. Lucky numbers are 29 and 1.
 
In a manic few weeks ahead you will find yourself rushing all over the place. Pause for breath once in a while, Bulls. Minor accidents are possible if you do not take care. But use this high- energy time well as it can waken your ideas up. You will be restless and in no mood for settling down and attending to routine chores. Indeed it may be a something of a roller-coaster ride for you. Opportune colours are cornflower blue and sunflower yellow. Lucky numbers are 2 and 12.
 
In two minds about almost everything, Taurus? You aren't clear about whether to follow your head or your heart. If you want more prominence and acclaim, you need to do things that draw other people's attention to you, so try to do what suits the influential people at work or out in your community. Cater for their needs rather than your own, then you will get all the compliments you want. Expressive colours are gunmetal grey and silvery pink. Lucky numbers are 8 and 37.
 
This is a time when you will be able to tell other people what you feel about them in a very positive way. You want to appreciate beauty, listen to music or maybe even go off to write a poem. There is a danger that your thinking could be a little biased about one particular situation, so be clear before you speak out because your emotions could be colouring your judgement. Fortuitous colours are plum and cinnamon. Lucky numbers are 7 and 44.
 
With your birthday Sun active for another couple of weeks, you are bouncing with more enthusiasm and gusto than usual. Having been held back recently by setbacks, delays or just low energy and less motivation you can forge ahead at last. But when you slow down, you'll also be a sympathetic listener, subtly tuned into the emotional undercurrents. Trust your hunches which more often than not turn out to be accurate. Financial benefits come your way. Soothing colours are sandstone and celadon. Lucky numbers are 10 and 31.
 
You have a great urge to get away from routine, tedious chores, boring people and fly a little bit higher. Broaden your horizons, however you can. Travel would suit you best but there are other ways to keep your interest engaged. Take the bird's eye view rather than being sunk in minutiae and detail. Look ahead, you can make some prophetic choices. Suitable colours are hessonite and lilac. Lucky numbers are 75 and 42.
 
In a busy few weeks you'll be direct, outspoken but not always tactful. Writing letters, making phone calls and holding discussions will fill your schedule. Head straight for heated debates and controversies with the glint of battle in your eye. You will not suffer fools gladly and may be a little too blunt or sarcastic at times. Have a care when travelling. Slow down, take a few breaths and all should be well. Empowering colours are sapphire blue and emerald green. Lucky numbers are 18 and 19.
 
Your creative talents definitely need to be given an outlet. You have the confidence and the opportunity now, so listen to your intuition and let your inner visions live out in the world. You will also be seeking out new friends since old ones will seem rather dull. But don't expect total reliability from new teammates as they will prove stubbornly individualistic. You will be both challenged and enlivened by group activities. Balancing colours are silver grey and dark purple. Lucky numbers are 5 and 13.
 
Feeling vague? Low in concentration and energy? Psychologically you are not in a mood to get a grip or be confrontational. So coast along and leave practical chores for another day. Don't be disappointed that your efforts at work are not meeting with more acclaim, but you are just not pushing as hard as usual. Don't let uncertainty about your aims get in the way. Let your intuition point you in the right direction. Balancing colours are amethyst and obsidian. Lucky numbers are 6 and 43.
 
If your partner is not on your wavelength you can cajole them into fitting in with what you have in mind. If you have to compromise to get a response, it will be worth it. Be careful how you handle things today. It's important not to become obsessed with one matter, so focused on the detail that you can't see the broad picture. If you look too deeply into it, you may get a bit gloomy. Auspicious colours are terracotta and dark grey. Lucky numbers are 11 and 18.
 
Other people may be demanding quite a lot of you, so don't feel resentful, or like a martyr. Having to fit in all the time with other people's plans, whims, suggestions and orders can sometimes feel that way. Do what makes you feel virtuous, but don't let other people push you around too much. You will be able to sort out quite a few situations that have been bugging you for a few days. Uplifting colours are periwinkle blue and walnut brown. Lucky numbers are 13 and 1.
 
Venus is now at a tricky angle to Pluto but if you get the better end of this influence, you can be extremely seductive or persuasive. Don't make it obvious if you have a hidden agenda up your sleeve. Is there something you are not admitting to yourself? Pluto in the deepest area of your chart makes you fascinated by what runs below the surface in all the highly charged situations in life, especially to do with money and love. Beneficial colours are daffodil yellow and lime green. Lucky numbers are 70 and 42.
 
Over recent months through some ups and downs, you've noticed that your self confidence has held up remarkably well. Jupiter has been improving your relationships with loved ones and children and you've allowed yourself to play more spontaneously and this will continue for some months to come. Let yourself sparkle in the spotlight and enjoy being appreciated. Some companions seem unwilling to hear what you say, but you'll break through eventually as all your arguments are based on common sense. Auspicious colours are sage green and peacock blue. Lucky numbers are 7 and 10.
 
Today you're reasonably light-hearted but it will help you to understand what makes your life fit together as a whole. You want everything to be harmonious, to glide over unpleasant edges, slide around awkward situations and to seek out people you really want to be around. There are moments when you hesitate to voice your opinion, so listen rather than talk and keep your own counsel. Beneficial colours are buttercup yellow and walnut brown. Lucky numbers are 49 and 12.
 
There's a very lively kind of energy around you now, so make the most of it. You want to know all about yourself and discover more about the world around you. Suddenly you want to push other people away and refuse to be hemmed in any more. Fitting in with what other people want won't sit easily with you now because you want to do your own thing. It's just a question of not being too explosive about the way in which you go about it. Uplifting colours are ebony and peach. Lucky numbers are 11 and 30.
 
This is definitely a time when you need to be around friends, as you want to be sociable and outgoing and to feel like one of the gang. Team relationships work tremendously well today: why fly solo when there is so much support on offer around you? You're working in a way that will gain you the approval of those in authority. You are not racing around, taking risks or being too boisterous. If anything, you're a little bit understated. Lucky colours are apricot and cream. Lucky numbers are 20 and 27.
 
This is a good day to be self-protective and retreat into a private place, preferably at home. If you can take the day off and put your feet up, so much the better, but even if you're at work, you need some kind of protective niche. Actually, people will respond well to your presence since you are so warm and outgoing - you just need some time to yourself. Profitable colours are tangerine and scarlet. Lucky numbers are 23 and 19.
 
No one will hold your attention for long today, but you will throw entertaining titbits their way as you race past. You thrive on interesting, varied conversation though with your grasshopper mind at the moment, you won't concentrate on anything for too long. You have to be clear in your own mind about the message you're trying to convey, as you are rather scattered today. You're spreading yourself a little too thin. Balanced colours are snow white and ruby red. Lucky numbers are 16 and 54.
 
The thing that will hold you back now is if you fail to grasp new opportunities and just plod along resolutely instead. Be open to expressing yourself as an individual. If you're feeling gloomy at the moment, give yourself a good shake and stop feeling sorry for yourself. Sometimes you have to go deeper to find out what people's motivations really are, or what has led to the situation you are now facing. Knowledge is freedom. Opportune colours are emerald green and peacock blue. Lucky numbers are 43 and 69.
 
Throw your energy into something that is going to be useful for you. Life feels difficult just now but it's a temporary phase and it is possible to change and transform important aspects of your life. You have the capacity to handle finances well, but try to avoid committing yourself to situations which make you feel trapped. Tread softly and check out all the options before coming to a decision. Buoyant colours are garnet and fuchsia. Lucky numbers are 51 and 22.
 
The next few weeks turn out to be a more extravagant phase in your life and you will be keen to make more money than usual. A flamboyant lifestyle holds great appeal now and you want to indulge yourself in the short term without thought for the future. Today you yearn for harmony and perfection, especially at home or in family relationships. You want to keep the peace at all costs. Fortuitous colours are silvery green and golden brown. Lucky numbers are 67 and 53.
 
You will be absolutely in your element in the centre of activities at parties or in games. Your popularity is soaring with loved ones, children and social mates, so there's no sense holding back. Allow yourself to step forward confidently with as much panache as you can muster. You don't want to be around people who are boring and slow-witted or you'll become over-forceful and speak too frankly. Favourable colours are oyster and agate. Lucky numbers are 21 and 52.
 
There need to find a way of giving to others that also allows you to be at peace with yourself. You will find that you are being called on to help in some way. Venus and Neptune around are a rather charitable combination, but they can also be low energy. So you have to try to be subtly sensible to other people's needs. You want tangible gestures of affection to make you feel appreciated and wanted now, either in cuddles or in presents. Inspirational colours are pale pink and butterscotch. Lucky numbers are 8 and 2.
 
It's very important that you're not pushed to one side just for the next day or so. Ask for what you need, which is more pampering, indulgence and comforting. The Moon in your own sign is a mothering energy but you want to be on the receiving, not the giving end. The Moon in flowing aspect to Saturn means you can take pleasure from hard work now and there is balance between your feelings and duty. Beneficial colours are sunflower yellow and navy. Lucky numbers are 65 and 57.
 
Stand back and clear a quiet space for yourself so you can be aware of what is beginning now. The Solar Eclipse could bring an insight into the past or yourself, which gives you the key to how to change the future. Socially, things are really looking up for you and you're extremely upfront; you're not putting on a performance, it's just your natural effervescence spilling over. Intuitive colours are silvery pink and aqua. Lucky numbers are 69 and 3.
 
You're feeling kind and compassionate towards those in need and you'll pick up subtle, unspoken hints. This makes you caring, but be careful that you don't shoulder everyone else's burdens and don't be dragged into activities that don't interest you very much. The current planetary influences could mean your partner finds you evasive and unrealistic at the moment. Positive colours are slate grey and antique gold. Lucky numbers are 40 and 71.
 
You're on an adrenaline rush today and want to pack as much into your schedule as possible. If you go with the flow you can motivate and encourage companions to join in. They'll appreciate the freshness of your approach and your unique way of seeing things. Be careful not to be too sensitive and interpret as criticism things that others say which were never meant to hurt. Don't over-react. Lucky colours are silvery grey and copper. Lucky numbers are 13 and 50.
 
The good things of life are all important to your sense of well-being, but being too materialistic could slow down your progress. Your feelings are less than light-hearted now, Taurus. Are you trying too hard to stay in control, wary of being pushed around by authority figures? There seems to be a situation in your life where you feel trapped. If you are tempted to act secretly to avoid confrontations, it may not be very wise. Suitable colours are toffee and rhodium. Lucky numbers are 73 and 60.
 
Bulls are cool and in control, but it's not a good idea to make up your mind instantly about one plan until you've had a chance to discuss it with everyone. Too much advice can be confusing, but not enough input and you may reach the wrong decisions. Listen carefully, sift and sort the ideas you have been given, and then you'll know exactly what is going to be workable. Realistic colours are cranberry and amethyst. Lucky numbers are 55 and 29.
 
It's the kind of day when you can say what you feel about other people and you can put them at their ease, so you end up very popular and much appreciated. You have a taste what is fine and elegant, so if your extravagances look like outrunning your budget then turn your creative skills to earning more money. All it takes is imagination and effort. Effective colours are pumpkin and shell pink. Lucky numbers are 67 and 69.
 
You are not as active as you normally would be today, so avoid confrontation. Neptune brings beauty, glamour, harmony, so you have natural charm. Maybe you are slightly disappointed that your efforts at work are not meeting with more acclaim and recognition, but to be truthful you are rather low in energy or motivation and not pushing as hard as usual. Bulls on the prowl will find ecstatic success tonight. Transformative colours are raw sugar and red tartan. Lucky numbers are 71 and 23.
 
You feel more restless than usual and want to keep on the move, visiting as many friends as possible. You have the ability to put your ideas across clearly, but your tongue could be very sharp so think before you speak. Your agile, restless mind is coming up with original inspirations, but you can't always follow them through. Are you trying to juggle too many balls in the air at once? Radiant colours are oyster and claret. Lucky numbers are 66 and 31.
 
Put your foot down and be forceful, Taurus. No one is going to divert you from your intentions. You are happier in your own company than usual and overwhelmed if there are too many people around. Highly sensitive to atmosphere, you soak in the emotional undercurrents like a sponge. Avoid friends who are gloomy or you might end up the same way. Resourceful colours are pistachio and heather. Lucky numbers are 21 and 76.
 
Maybe you are resentful about old obligations because they remind you of the influence which others hold over you. Remember that you cannot be an island unto yourself. There will always be ties, promises and agreements which have to be honoured. Keep your feelings to yourself right now, but try not to be too controlling or uptight. Buoyant colours are malachite and golden rod. Lucky numbers are 3 and 19.
 
A long-running emotional relationship feels a bit shaky. If you are hanging on for security, then things do sometimes feel a little bit insecure. On the other hand, it opens you up and lets a blast of fresh air blow through. You are irresistibly attracted to the beautiful, luxurious and expensive things of life. Nothing cheap, cheerful or practical will really appeal to you. Relaxing colours are beryl and bloodstone. Lucky numbers are 64 and 41.
 
You do want more beautiful things around you at the moment. Are you trying to compensate for a lack you feel elsewhere? Don't muddle love and money and assume if you are not being given lavish presents that you are not really valued. Uranus, planet of sudden change and inspiration, is in your house of friendships and future plans for some time, so join hands with like-minded people. Alluring colours are rye bread and kiwi fruit. Lucky numbers are 10 and 22.
 
In your closest relationships, both at work and at home, you are clutching more than usual, hanging on to partners. Don't get jealous and possessive if they aren't exactly fitting in with what you want, just get in step with them. Your self-confidence and social charm are more evident, so flirt, have fun and aim for leisure, pleasure and entertainment. Lively colours are pepper and cream. Lucky numbers are 35 and 8.
 
You feel ready to tackle almost anything, so it is a good time for dealing with authority figures. Just keep in mind that sounding too uppity will not be the best approach. Stop and reflect before volunteering for new projects. Having solid results to show for your efforts is always important so don't be shy about stating your worth. Keep a close hand on the purse strings, or you'll soon be out of pocket. Celebratory colours are dark grape and scarlet. Lucky numbers are 3 and 48.
 
With the Full Moon blazing in your sixth house, emotions are tied up with your working situation and with your health. If you're feeling emotionally edgy, watch that your body doesn't weaken. Make sure you're eating well, relaxing, exercising. Use your will power now to tackle practical matters. A new exercise regime will feel more virtuous, and it will probably bring you more energy. Ideal colours are chrysolite and mauve. Lucky numbers are 61 and 36.
 
You will be very sensitive to the undercurrents, so avoid jarring companions. You do want to be more helpful and charitable at work and in your community activities, but you may go about it in a rather unrealistic way. But it's certainly true that if you aim for the general good, or work in more creative ways, you'll reap the rewards of your efforts. Communicative colours are blue and scarlet. Lucky numbers are 66 and 50.
 
Taurus puts a high value on loyalty, stability and physical closeness. Today you want more hugs, caresses, kisses and tangible gestures of affection than usual. Don't let insecurity make you too possessive or stubborn, just be affectionate and steadfast. You are grappling with fundamental questions and confidential financial and emotional issues. It's not easy to compromise or co-operate. Footnote colours are spearmint and saffron. Lucky numbers are 61 and 56.
 
With the lively Moon in glorious Leo, you are basking in the limelight. It's not a day for keeping your feelings to yourself, so go flirt, have fun and play games with loved ones, children or social buddies. Forget routine chores, as restless Uranus urges you to be dancing in all directions at once. Sudden events at home will keep you on your toes and rather edgy. Fortunate colours are brass and sultana. Lucky numbers are 37 and 28.
 
You will be a real chatterbox today, Taurus, lively and enthusiastic, determined to get your ideas and opinions across to everyone in sight. Your mind is racing ahead of you, leaping from subject to subject at computer speed, so slower-witted companions may have problems keeping up. You have a bright, curious turn of mind as well as an active tongue. Buoyant colours are saffron and bright flame. Lucky numbers are 75 and 40.
 
If you are carrying too much of other people's pain and suffering, avoid friends who are jangled, or gloomy, or else you might end up the same way. Mars, planet of dynamic action, is in your house of money, so the competition is hot when it comes to earning. Work on the long term security that a nest egg brings, but you will not be inclined to reject the status that comes with more loot. Opportune colours are peridot and sable. Lucky numbers are 33 and 67.
 
You try too hard to gloss over the imperfections of life, and often come across sounding sugary sweet. You avoid confrontations, because frankly, you can't be bothered. If you compromise too much for the sake of peace, you sound superficial or insincere - and you definitely aren't! At the moment hesitate to voice what you really think or feel out of fear that you will not be heard. Listen rather than talk, absorb and keep your own counsel. Lucky colours are agate and cherry. Lucky numbers are 3 and 52.
 
You're moving smartly around a busy schedule, with more comings than goings. Conversations, meetings and gossip around the water cooler is likely. Contact with neighbours, work mates and siblings is in the Stars. You're in a grasshopper mood - you could jump either way. Astrologically, you're in a phase lasting for several months, when your social self-confidence will soar. Your relationships with loved ones and children will be easy going. Lucky colours are laurel and fuchsia. Lucky numbers are 14 and 33.
 
Try not to rock the boat too much, or burn your bridges. You enjoy being surrounded by eccentric or unconventional friends at the moment and there are times when you are infuriated, as they prove unreliable or uncooperative. Everything comes at a price. If you want utter loyalty and security, you need to find more dependable friends. However, wise Bull, boredom sets in very quickly, doesn't it? Ideal colours are pineapple and ebony. Lucky numbers are 3 and 32.
 
Shake yourself out of situations where you've been feeling too timid: over-compromising and sweeping your feelings under the carpet. Now's the time to decide what you're willing to put up with. Money is a tricky subject at the moment, because you don't have total control, so you you'll have to soft pedal a little on demands. Don't be too submissive either. Auspicious colours are raspberry and sapphire blue. Lucky numbers are 6 and 17.
 
Try not to be resentful if other people seem to be holding you back because, they may have a purpose. Bulls achieve a great deal more if they slow down. Out of what may initially seem to be setbacks, can come something more useful. Flying ahead at top speed, cutting corners, can end you up going round in circles. Because you are more deliberate than usual, when it comes to mental work, you are understanding serious subjects which were once a mystery to you. Auspicious colours are terracotta and tuscan blue. Lucky numbers are 1 and 64.
 
In the next few weeks you concentrate on your personal finances, and you're keen to make more money than usual. You acquire new possessions, but with that comes more responsibility. Remember beautiful Bulls, long term goals and security are very important. A flamboyant lifestyle appeals to you, so you're likely to indulge yourself in the short term. You'll fight to defend your rights and ensure that you get your due rewards. Lucky colours are beige and pumpkin. Lucky numbers are 14 and 33.
 
You're thinking about things more deeply than usual and talking in a penetrating way, and come across as being more forceful than you intend. Money is a serious concern for you now, and there are power struggles over resources with someone close to you. You have to find the fine line between being too controlling and being too submissive. Aim for compromise and that will benefit everybody, including you. Positive colours are ginger and taupe. Lucky numbers are 43 and 66.
 
You're a bit edgy over the next few days and you crave to be nurtured and protected. It's important to have solid, reassuring mates around you now - people you can depend on. Your plans and hopes for the future change suddenly and unpredictably, but you feel the need for adventure and excitement. Initially you may feel slightly insecure if you let of your old ambitions, but this is a time to test out the unknown. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Ideal colours are golden beryl and red pepper. Lucky numbers are 78 and 61.
 
You're a little lonely or shy and hide your feelings away at the moment, but this is only for a few days so there's nothing to worry about. Just enjoy your own company. You won't feel like socialising, just temporarily, but there are other activities that will attract you. Anything mystical or spiritual will hold your attention since you are tuned into deeper levels of awareness. You'll also be able to be very helpful as far as other people are concerned. Harmonious colours are slate and jasmine. Lucky numbers are 54 and 50.
 
New Moons are always the start of something new and this is a big one, because it's on the Equinox. If you think of what it looks like in the sky, it's a faint crescent of light that grows bigger as time goes on, so don't expect anything major immediately. You need to put your wholehearted attention behind the scenes into whatever you want to put into place over the next year. Positive colours are claret and sharkskin. Lucky numbers are 5 and 28.
 
Not at your most outgoing and sociable, you'll be happiest in the quiet backwaters for a few weeks. Even your own company will not be a hardship. Since you're going to be a bit vague, why not let yourself dream, listen to music or just be a little more imaginative? You won't even mind if someone tries to pull the wool over your eyes today. It's a New Moon at the Equinox, the beginning of the new astrological year, so think carefully at this time. Appropriate colours are amber and aubergine. Lucky numbers are 7 and 11. Read more on the Equinox!
 
Try and be diplomatic with someone close. It's a time when you want beauty and harmony and bliss, but sometimes you're not very straightforward with yourself. We all need to escape for a while.... Neptune hovering around your mid heaven makes you compassionate, spiritual and creative, but often over-hopeful or unrealistic where career ambitions are concerned. You need to sort out fact from fantasy and be clear about what is possible and what is pie-in-the-sky. Favourable colours are blush pink and chestnut. Lucky numbers are 68 and 65.
 
During this period of your life, you will be very clear about what you want and also exactly how you intend to get it. Just remember to try not to get bad-tempered if anything or anyone gets in your way. Your fuse will definitely be shorter than usual. The people around you will notice and admire your bravery, though they will probably question your common sense. Even though you may come across as tactless, you are definitely going to get things done. Beneficial colours are hazelnut and grape. Lucky numbers are 41 and 25.
 
Your tendency will be to smooth over problems rather than face up to difficulties. Take the diplomatic route, rather than stamping your foot and throwing a tantrum. Your creative talents definitely need to be given an outlet. You have the confidence now and the opportunity. Listen to your intuition and then make your inner visions live out in the world. Be brave. Advantageous colours are almond and cranberry. Lucky numbers are 16 and 23.
 
You are in your element in group efforts and are keen to see that everyone pulls in the same direction. However, since you will be fiery, headstrong and not always sensible, stopping to think first would be wise. Try not to rush in where angels fear to tread. Your boredom threshold is low so it's hard to keep focused. Organise some practical companions to tidy up behind you and keep your initial impetus running. Confident colours are black onyx and sage. Lucky numbers are 13 and 68.
 
In specialised or really significant tasks, you crack along, though you won't necessarily find it easy to communicate with other people. Saturn can sometimes create barriers, or maybe you're just putting yourself across too cautiously. Kindness comes more easily to you than anger, so duck out of confrontations wherever possible. In a sentimental mood, you are sympathetic and a good shoulder to cry on for friends in need. Appropriate colours are chrysoberyl and pale amber. Lucky numbers are 69 and 12.
 
Your mind wanders restlessly, and maybe you're too susceptible to persuasion by others. You are picking up subtle clues from others, acting like a sponge, soaking in the atmosphere, which can make you biased without realising it. In a restless mood, you want to be anywhere other than where you are. If you are stuck in the one place, go talk to more adventurous people, even find some stretching book to read. You really can't be bothered with practical routines. Stabilising colours are pineapple and moonstone. Lucky numbers are 34 and 25.
 
You will be secretive, playing your cards close to your chest, dear Taurus. Not even your closest friends will know what's going on inside. It's emotionally more intense than usual, so don't magnify certain situations or comments into something bigger than they are. Wanting everything to be totally wonderful could set you up for a minor letdown, but overall, you are seeing life very positively just now. Positive colours are cranberry and lavender. Lucky numbers are 48 and 11.
 
Burying your head in the sand ostrich fashion will not work, so get yourself into reforming mood. Changes will not happen overnight, maybe it will take months, but if you apply yourself with persistence you will be pleased at the outcome. Don't be too sensitive and interpret as criticisms things that others say which were never meant to hurt. Don't overreact until you have checked out what was intended. Lively colours are opal and brass. Lucky numbers are 48 and 64.
 
You want good, solid, stable relationships both at work and at home today, so it is a good time to discuss almost any problems that come up. Your self-esteem is not as high as usual when it comes to speaking or writing, but do not get discouraged when others seem to ignore your opinions. Both sides need to compromise. Empowering colours are citrine and buttercup. Lucky numbers are 15 and 17.
 
Balance is what you are aiming for, though you may be swinging to extremes in the effort to find it. Having a close partner is vital to your confidence now. Try not to be jealous or possessive or get unsettled if things are not going precisely as you want. Don't react too quickly, hearing slights where none exist. If you express your feelings of affection directly, you will find you get what you want. Effective colours are heather and green tartan. Lucky numbers are 14 and 68.
 
Friends and teammates are a mixed blessing at the moment, sometimes exhilarating and at other times infuriating. The influences could bring good, fun relationships into your life, but it will also bring rather zany people who are not always the kind of friends you want in the long term. They are very exciting in the short term, but you then begin to meet people who are more solid and settled. There's a lot to learn with both types. Balancing colours are marshmallow and vermilion. Lucky numbers are 28 and 34.
 
Don't get furious if someone disagrees with you, but stand back and be creative about the differences. Enjoy the challenge. If you are feeling rather gloomy give yourself a shake. Sometimes you just have to get underneath to find out what people's motivations really are, or what has led you to the situation you are now facing. You will find that knowledge can lead to freedom. Advantageous colours are mink and melon. Lucky numbers are 8 and 45.
 
With Saturn now direct in Cancer, you are thinking clearly, talking in a well-organised way, and are taking a really practical interest in what is going on around you. Problem solving has become a real interest for you. But you may feel there is a barrier to be overcome when talking to workmates, neighbours, or brothers and sisters. Get your original, experimental ideas out into the world. You can make a difference by what you say, and perhaps motivate companions out of their ruts. Communicative colours are charcoal and ivory. Lucky numbers are 3 and 9.
 
Although you know you should be sorting out long term plans, what you really want is to enjoy yourself. Find a way to balance the needs of the future with your desire for instant fun. Friends may pull you one way and loved ones another. You have been spending more time recently with your wider circle of acquaintances but maybe more intimate companions have been feeling excluded. So cuddle up close when you have the chance. Propitious colours are crimson and rich honey. Lucky numbers are 41 and 23.
