Born between:

It's a gloomy end to the month as you're down-in-the-mouth and rather low-key, and it won't help if you're expected to hold the fort at home or at work while everyone else goes off and enjoys themselves. Unfortunately, it will be difficult to shake off your negative attitude and unless you make a big effort it will linger even if your day improves. So start smiling and remind yourself of all the positive things in your life. Ideal colours are fuchsia and white. Lucky numbers are 32 and 44.
 
You're full of energy and enthusiasm this Monday, making it a great start to the week. Have a look round your home or office so you can see what needs to be done, such as tidying things up or doing some cleaning. If you're running out of time, don't be shy about asking someone to give you a hand because teamwork promises to be good fun right now. Ideal colours are opalescence and silvery blue. Lucky numbers are 40 and 52.
 
It feels as though you've got the weight of the world on your shoulders. You're facing a stack of work and you're short of time. You may also have a lot of obligations that you've got to meet, making you wonder how on earth you're going to fit them in. Are things really this bad? If they are, you need to do something to reduce your workload before it really gets you down. Beneficial colours are brass and pale green. Lucky numbers are 19 and 78.
 
A certain someone is a real friend to you today, especially if you need a shoulder to cry on and they're also good fun to have around. This is a super day to draw closer to some of the people in your life, and to appreciate what you give one another. You might also have a lucky encounter with someone that will definitely work out to your advantage. Fortunate colours are cream and caramel. Lucky numbers are 34 and 6.
 
If you've been waiting for the right time to persuade a friend to do something, this is the day to speak up. If they aren't interested after hearing your spiel, they'll never be. This is also a good opportunity to arrange a social event for later in the week, so you've got something to look forward to. You'll also enjoy getting completely involved in a hobby or taking part in a group event. Inspirational colours are peacock blue and plum. Lucky numbers are 15 and 35.
 
No matter what else you're doing today, try to find the time for an activity that really means a lot to you. This might mean bathing the children, playing with your pet or listening to your favourite piece of music. You're feeling energetic and will enjoy doing something physical, provided it's got some sort of meaning for you. For instance, a walk through a beautiful park with your best friend will mean much more than working up a sweat on a rowing machine all by yourself. Unless that's your idea of heaven, of course! Auspicious colours are lime and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 2 and 70.
 
As January comes to an end, you're in a loving and tender mood. That's good news for your loved ones because you'll want to show them how much you care about them. This is one of those days when you value your privacy even more than usual, so you won't want to mix with lots of strangers if you can avoid it. Instead, you'll appreciate having some time to yourself, even if the only way to get it is to lock the bathroom door and luxuriate in a long, hot bath. Harmonious colours are avocado and peach. Lucky numbers are 37 and 35.
 
Make an effort to get on well with your neighbours and other people you see on a daily basis. If things have been rather tricky with someone recently, this is a good day for burying the hatchet and starting afresh. If this means being the first to say sorry, or the first to break the silence, then so be it. You're feeling magnanimous enough to do it without feeling resentful, and it will certainly show you in a good light. Harmonious colours are pale gold and olive. Lucky numbers are 39 and 55.
 
You're in a rather secretive mood today, which is hardly unusual for a Scorpion. Yet you're also feeling rather generous, so it's a good day for buying someone a present and then keeping it a secret until you're ready to give it to them. Maybe this is the perfect opportunity to buy your beloved a Valentine's Day card or present, and then keep it on top of the wardrobe until the magic day dawns? Fortunate colours are marmalade and plum. Lucky numbers are 28 and 62.
 
You're quite happy to live and let live this Monday, and to take people as you find them. You certainly have no desire to judge them for being different from you, or to tell them how they should behave. If you're with children, they might enjoy hearing you tell them some fairy or ghost stories, or playing a game with you that gets their imagination going. Fortunate colours are lemon and iridescent blue. Lucky numbers are 14 and 54.
 
It's a wonderful end to the month because you're feeling so upbeat and cheerful. You're a walking advert for the power of positive thinking this Monday, because you're able to view problems as challenges, take things in your stride and not get your knickers in a twist about anything. However, don't let this make you so complacent that you ignore something that really does need your urgent attention and which will cause trouble for you if you leave it for much longer. Practical colours are raspberry and tartan. Lucky numbers are 7 and 14.
 
This is a day for keeping yourself fully occupied; you'll feel slightly lost if you don't have enough to do. If you've got time on your hands, go for a walk or a swim, and preferably take someone along to keep you company. If you're involved in a local event or group you may have to put a lot of energy into it right now. Stabilising colours are coffee and chocolate. Lucky numbers are 10 and 8.
 
Communication is the key to better relationships during the next couple of weeks. This means doing your best to say exactly what you mean, rather than simply hope that others catch on, and also to really listen to what you're told rather than simply let it wash over you. This is also a great time for taking part in discussions or negotiations because you're keen to see all points of view. Expressive colours are ruby red and cream. Lucky numbers are 37 and 34.
 
You're filled with curiosity about the world from today, and want to find out as much about it as possible between now and mid February. So where are you going to start? You might even be inspired to enrol in a class or course that will add to your existing qualifications, in which case you'll have a fantastic time. It might also introduce you to a whole host of new friends. Beneficial colours are ebony and peach blossom. Lucky numbers are 70 and 28.
 
The next two weeks are the perfect time to think hard about your finances, and especially about the ones you share with other people. For instance, maybe you should check the bank statements on your joint account in case they contain errors or you're paying out for things you don't really need. You also need to think about your long-term savings, especially if you haven't yet started a rainy-day fund. There's no time like the present! Fortunate colours are ebony and mulberry. Lucky numbers are 28 and 3.
 
You're already feeling as though you're one step removed from the people around you and you become even more distanced from them today. This self-absorbed phase will last for the next two weeks, giving you the chance to ruminate and meditate on the course your life has taken over the past year. Your dreams are more significant than usual, so write them down and study them at your leisure. They hold the key to all sorts of personal mysteries. Exciting colours are olive and vermilion. Lucky numbers are 21 and 68.
 
Your thoughts turn to long-term goals from today, putting you in a very ambitious frame of mind between now and mid February. You might want to have another look at your new year resolutions if you've let them slide recently, or plan your strategy if you want to get ahead at work. Another consideration is to think about getting some more qualifications. Fortunate colours are sky blue and dark pink. Lucky numbers are 1 and 56.
 
Your thoughts turn in the direction of your health and general welfare today, and you'll continue to ponder these topics for the next two weeks. Virgos have the reputation of being hypochondriacs, although you aren't like that, are you? Even so, it's good to think about ways in which you might improve your physical well-being or to seek an expert opinion if you're worried about something. Ideal colours are magenta and pale pink. Lucky numbers are 13 and 30.
 
You're in a very outgoing mood this Sunday and it shows. Get together with some of the people who brighten up your life because you'll soon return the favour. You don't have to do anything very special to have a good time - simply being with someone you care about will make you feel good. Mind you, you'll jump at any excuse to put on your party clothes so maybe you should do something special after all! Auspicious colours are bright red and brilliant white. Lucky numbers are 33 and 1.
 
Your thoughts turn to personal matters from today, and that's the way they'll stay for the next two weeks. This is your opportunity to examine your life and think things through, especially if you're currently trying to decide what you want to achieve in 2005. However, at times you'll have to drag your thoughts away from yourself and towards other people, otherwise they'll be perfectly justified in accusing you of being too wrapped up in yourself. Auspicious colours are strawberry and fawn. Lucky numbers are 24 and 63.
 
Your brain will really appreciate being given some intellectual exercise during the next couple of weeks. You might get involved in a project that stretches your mental abilities to the full, or which makes you view a situation from an entirely different angle. You'll also enjoy taking part in activities that have a humanitarian slant. Auspicious colours are velvet black and bright red. Lucky numbers are 28 and 10.
 
Your thoughts turn to the past today and you'll remain in a reminiscent mood for the next couple of weeks. This is great for looking back on your life so far, perhaps with the help of some treasured photos or other keepsakes. You might even be inspired to make contact with some old friends that you've lost contact with, just to see how they are. However, think twice before getting in touch with old flames because you could be playing with fire. Favourable colours are pale green and dark gold. Lucky numbers are 5 and 45.
 
You're very talkative during the next couple of weeks and love chatting to whoever happens to be around. It's a great opportunity to catch up on your correspondence, whether by snail mail or email, and also to get in touch with people you haven't seen recently. But do make sure you listen as well as talk, even if you haven't said everything you wanted to. Give the other person a chance to get a word in edgeways! Propitious colours are cherry and violet. Lucky numbers are 22 and 22.
 
Like a true Capricorn, you're very capable and practical today. And you'll get the chance to show off your talents, too when someone asks you for advice or a recent success puts you in the limelight. If you're hoping to get a better job in the next few weeks, set aside some time now to brush up your CV or compose the perfect letter of application. It will be time well spent. Fortunate colours are mango and cream. Lucky numbers are 24 and 19.
 
It looks like being a rather frustrating day because you feel you're doing all the work while everyone else puts their feet up. How dare they laze around like this when you're working your fingers to the bone! You won't achieve anything by going into a sulk, so instead take direct action and politely ask them to give you a hand. Beneficial colours are charcoal and beige. Lucky numbers are 27 and 58.
 
Once again, money has the potential to cause trouble, so treat it with respect. This time, the problems could come from your social life, especially if you're planning an outing with some friends. There could be irritable disagreements between you about how much everything should cost, with some of you opting for economy and others choosing extravagance. How are you going to resolve this? Beneficial colours are blood red and dark green. Lucky numbers are 17 and 2.
 
The atmosphere is still rather tense, and it's more than likely that someone will lose their temper at least once today. Relations and partners are the most likely culprits, but perhaps they're perfectly justified in getting angry with you? Don't goad them into further furious outbursts by being provocative or touchy, but do listen to their complaints. Ideal colours are turquoise and lavender. Lucky numbers are 7 and 33.
 
It may not sound very exciting, but this is a great day for catching up with the chores and getting up to date with your finances. So set aside some time to pay bills, check meters or fill in forms, and also to do a few household tasks. Once all that's out of the way, you'll deserve to have a breather and you'll be able to put your feet up with a clear conscience and the satisfaction of knowing you've achieved something. Fortuitous colours are sunset orange and spring green. Lucky numbers are 20 and 73.
 
Get some paper and write down a list of everything you've got to do over the next few days. You will appreciate feeling organized, and those lists will help you to tackle things in their order of priority. This is also a good day for visiting someone elderly or ill who lives nearby, and who might be feeling lonely or in need of some help. They'll be really pleased to see you. Favourable colours are mustard yellow and charcoal grey. Lucky numbers are 19 and 73.
 
Prepare yourself for a topsy turvy day, in which everyone gets overheated about things that mean a lot to them. This means that even a simple conversation about doing the weekend shopping could escalate into a shouting match. It's obvious that you need to clear the air about something, so try to thrash out the problems without starting a full-scale war. Ideal colours are peacock blue and emerald green. Lucky numbers are 16 and 33.
 
The past few days have been tough going, but you start to feel much better today. And about time, too! Lift your spirits still further by doing something enjoyable and fulfilling, particularly if it has an international or educational flavour. Maybe you could visit somewhere that's full of history or mystery, or perhaps you'd prefer to take off on a last-minute weekend break? Prosperous colours are pineapple and plum. Lucky numbers are 16 and 74.
 
If you're still recovering from yesterday's power plays, it's hardly surprising that you now feel like a cat whose fur has been rubbed up the wrong way. You're rather scratchy and irritable, and you'll lash out in all directions given even the smallest amount of provocation. Try to direct your anger at the people who deserve it rather than start a squabble with whoever happens to be around at the time. Prosperous colours are ochre and navy. Lucky numbers are 7 and 52.
 
Give your brain some exercise, especially if gets your creative juices flowing. For instance, you might read a thought-provoking book or watch a film that makes you think. It's also a great day for putting your ideas down on paper or on your computer, whether you're writing someone a letter, confiding in your diary or working on what you hope will be the greatest novel of the 21st century. Fortunate colours are hazelnut and peach. Lucky numbers are 27 and 59.
 
You won't want to stray too far from home today, and you're reluctant to be separated from loved ones as well. Ideally, you should stay in familiar surroundings or within your own four walls, with plenty of special people around you. You're in a nostalgic mood, so don't be surprised if you feel rather sentimental when you start to look back on your life. Harmonious colours are peach and ivory. Lucky numbers are 23 and 44.
 
It's another day when you need to watch what you're doing, because now you're feeling rather agitated and irritable. If you're in the mood for an argument you'll soon get it because you'll manage to engineer a shouting match somehow or other. You need to clear the air, but don't let it lead to a massive row in which you say things you don't mean and do things you regret when you've calmed down again. Soothing colours are peach blossom and silvery blue. Lucky numbers are 16 and 35.
 
Your strange moods of the past couple of days have vanished, leaving you feeling much more sunny-tempered and happy. Celebrate by doing something enjoyable and entertaining, such as going to the cinema or meeting some friends. You'll also enjoy a complete change of scene, so consider a day trip to a nearby town or city that you've always wanted to visit. Fortunate colours are smoky quartz and amethyst. Lucky numbers are 2 and 26.
 
A certain person has a hidden agenda and it's being shoved right under your nose today. Maybe they want a lot more power than they've got at the moment and they're doing their best to steal some from you, or they simply want to show you who's boss. Do your best to avoid getting embroiled in a battle of wills because it won't be pleasant and it will only encourage this person to be even more bossy and dictatorial in the future. However, you must stand up for yourself if you don't like what's going on. Fortunate colours are grapefruit and salmon. Lucky numbers are 39 and 59.
 
Think twice before getting involved in a row with someone because you'll both be determined to get your own way, and the results could be rather unpleasant. Neither of you will want to lose face, which will mean that you'll both be very reluctant to back down or apologize. This is how wars start, so try to avoid triggering your own outbreak of hostilities. Favourable colours are platinum and russet. Lucky numbers are 37 and 34.
 
Emotional blackmail is in the air today, especially when dealing with a loved one. Someone wants to get their own way but they don't want it to be obvious so they're dropping heavy hints or making loaded comments. This is almost guaranteed to get your back up and put you on the defensive, but that will only make matters worse. Rather than put up with this behaviour, challenge them by asking them what's wrong. And then be prepared to listen while they tell you. Favourable colours are ochre and navy. Lucky numbers are 16 and 13.
 
Be very careful when dealing with money today because it will be a golden opportunity for someone to behave like a petty tyrant. Let's hope it's not you! All will be well if you do what this person wants, but you'll soon notice a distinct nip in the air if you have the temerity to disagree with them. That's too bad, because you aren't prepared to be dictated to like this. Creative colours are persimmon and quartz. Lucky numbers are 15 and 17.
 
Beware of anyone who wants to convert you to their way of thinking now, especially if they think they've got right on their side, because they won't take no for an answer. If you get angry about something today, you may feel that you've got to smother your feelings for spiritual or religious reasons, even though this will probably make you even more annoyed in the long run. Expansive colours are ultramarine and oyster. Lucky numbers are 1 and 38.
 
A neighbour, close relative or someone else that you see on an almost daily basis is very persuasive today. They want you to do things on their terms and will be very annoyed if you beg to differ. Try to avoid getting drawn into a battle of wills because it will be highly unpleasant and you probably won't win. Nevertheless, you will want to stand up for yourself, and so you should. Fortunate colours are copper and avocado. Lucky numbers are 15 and 6.
 
If you stuck your nose in where it wasn't wanted earlier in the month, you'll regret it now when someone makes it plain that they don't like it. Mind you, they'll probably find a very subtle way of doing this, so don't expect them to simply blurt it out because that isn't their style. You may also have to cope with someone who wants you to do something for them but who can't say so and who relies on heavy hints instead. Harmonious colours are silvery blue and silvery green. Lucky numbers are 29 and 20.
 
A friend has very strong ideas about what you should and shouldn't do at the moment. They'll make their feelings known today, although they'll do so in so-called subtle ways that feel more like ultimatums to you. If you don't like what's being suggested you must stand up to this person, but that could be a daunting proposition because they're hell-bent on getting their own way. But you can't be bossed about like this, can you? Fortunate colours are sky blue and mango. Lucky numbers are 36 and 33.
 
A loved one is quite a handful today. They want to get their own way and they'll do almost anything they can to make it happen. Be wary of starting a row with this person because it could turn out to be a lot more explosive and powerful than you imagined, and it might also drag up topics that you thought had long since been dead and buried. Auspicious colours are grape and silvery grey. Lucky numbers are 9 and 58.
 
Be very careful when dealing with other people today because you might encounter someone who is utterly determined to get their own way, no matter what the consequences. Don't get into a row with them because this will be their opportunity to walk all over you, or to control you by going into an icy sulk. You should also beware of behaving like this yourself. Fortunate colours are brilliant white and dark purple. Lucky numbers are 37 and 52.
 
Someone is absolutely determined to get their own way today, so watch out. You're most likely to meet them at work or through a health matter, and you'll have to handle them carefully if you want to avoid them bossing you about or simply steamrolling their way over you. Make sure you don't behave this way yourself, especially if you've got to give someone orders or instructions. Harmonious colours are spring green and dark green. Lucky numbers are 12 and 72.
 
Take care, because you're in a very persuasive and forceful mood, even if you don't realize it. Right now you're determined that things should go your way and you'll soon object if they don't. Beware of arousing antagonism in others because it could soon get out of hand and make you wonder what you've started. Use your current determination in positive ways that don't upset anyone, and then you'll have nothing to worry about. Expressive colours are blueberry and cinnamon. Lucky numbers are 24 and 32.
 
Take care today because your defences are down, leaving you vulnerable to other people's barbed comments or criticisms. You could get the distinct impression that someone's love for you is conditional on how perfect you can be, and that you are falling far short of their expectations. Try to take all this in your stride because it's highly likely that things aren't nearly as bad as they seem. Spend time alone doing something you enjoy until you feel ready to face the world again. Favourable colours are amethyst and sapphire blue. Lucky numbers are 40 and 22.
 
For some reason, you're feeling dejected and low-spirited. You have to sacrifice fun for work and you're feeling resentful about it, or you suspect that your popularity among your colleagues leaves a lot to be desired. You may also be feeling rather tired and run down, which will have a negative effect on your mood. So be kind to yourself, get plenty of rest, and try to take any knocks on the chin. Ideal colours are dark purple and dark gold. Lucky numbers are 29 and 59.
 
Oh dear! It isn't an easy day, so take care. You're feeling very vulnerable and insecure, and worried about whether a certain person still cares about you. What makes you think they don't? Perhaps you're reading too much into the situation and it isn't nearly as bad as you imagine? Unfortunately, you may also have to grapple with a distinct lack of money, whether it's you or your partner who's feeling so broke. Stable colours are mulberry and aqua. Lucky numbers are 2 and 64.
 
Once again you're feeling very vulnerable about relationships and tuned into the slightest suggestion that someone is disappointed in you or is going off you. It won't help if someone special isn't around for some reason, because you'll soon start to imagine the worst and tell yourself that they don't care about you any longer. Don't let your fears get the better of you! Insightful colours are amber and aqua. Lucky numbers are 3 and 11.
 
Once again your spirits sink to your boots today, most likely to do with problems with a loved one, perhaps because they aren't around when you need them or there seems to be a vast emotional gulf between you. Don't make matters worse by going into a huff or accusing them of neglect. It may be that you're simply feeling very lonely and you must wait for it to pass. Beneficial colours are dark pink and coral orange. Lucky numbers are 35 and 33.
 
There's a rift between you and a special person today, and you don't like it. In fact, it's making you very miserable and sorry for yourself. But the question is whether things are really as black as you're painting them. For instance, if this person can't see you, you'll immediately tell yourself it's because they don't want to see you or because they've gone off you, whereas there might be a perfectly innocent explanation such as they're simply too busy right now. Stabilising colours are peach and spring green. Lucky numbers are 39 and 60.
 
Look after yourself today because your spirits are low and so is your self-confidence. What's more, you're feeling torn between your domestic duties and your working commitments, and you don't know how to strike a balance. Whatever you do seems to upset someone, so it's up to you to find the best possible compromise in the circumstances. You can only do your best, and no one should expect more from you than that. Beneficial colours are silvery grey and crimson. Lucky numbers are 4 and 38.
 
There's an uncomfortable and subdued atmosphere between you and a loved one today. Maybe they're too busy to see you, making you feel unappreciated and left out in the cold, or you're feeling drained by their emotional demands and want to put as much distance between you as possible. Try to understand that this is a day of emotional extremes and your feelings will soon be more balanced. Ideal colours are apricot and dark gold. Lucky numbers are 23 and 4.
 
Tuesday's anxieties and difficulties have returned, but this time they're affecting your emotions. You're going through a tricky patch, as you know only too well, and you need to look after yourself as much as possible. Try not to brood on your fears because that will only magnify them. Instead, do what you can to solve the problem and then distract yourself by doing something you enjoy. Soothing colours are aqua and apricot. Lucky numbers are 10 and 3.
 
Life feels pretty lonely today. Maybe no one's around to keep you company, or someone special is being cool and off-hand? You're already feeling rather vulnerable, so it won't help if you begin to feel left out in the emotional cold for some reason. But maybe you're making too much of the situation? Try not to imagine that everyone has ganged up against you or that you-know-who doesn't love you any more. This miserable patch will soon blow over. Fortunate colours are salmon and aubergine. Lucky numbers are 9 and 22.
 
It's not an easy day because you're feeling rather lonely and neglected. Maybe a loved one isn't present, or they're with you in body, but not in spirit. Although you're showing a tendency to read the very worst into the situation and imagine that your relationship is on the skids, it's far more likely that the person concerned is simply busy with other things for the time being. Get involved in your own projects so you've got something to talk about when you're reunited. Inspirational colours are grey and blackberry. Lucky numbers are 39 and 34.
 
You're highly attuned to any possible slights, insults or rejections today, and you'll react badly when you imagine that you hear them. Note the word 'imagine', because you're probably reading far too much into other people's comments. You may also be feeling rather lonely and neglected, even if that isn't really the case at all. Try to cheer up. Favourable colours are dark red and purple. Lucky numbers are 1 and 51.
 
Spend some time with a very special person, preferably without anyone else around. It will do you good to be together, and things could soon become X rated if you have a sexual relationship with them. This is also a good day to channel your energy into your joint finances and long-term savings, perhaps by finding out whether you're getting the best deal and doing something about it if you aren't. Fortuitous colours are burgundy and dark gold. Lucky numbers are 5 and 24.
 
A certain someone is feeling very nostalgic, and it's almost certain that they're being idealistic at the same time. Should you burst their bubble and tell them that things weren't nearly as rosy as they're painting them, or should you let them get on with it? Make sure you don't fall into the same sentimental trap, especially if you're feeling in need of comfort at the moment. Auspicious colours are navy and tan. Lucky numbers are 25 and 49.
 
You're in a daredevil mood today, so what are you planning to do? You might decide to do something that would normally make you feel scared or nervous, or you may simply rush into a decision without thinking it through carefully. If you've been thinking about booking up a holiday, you'll want to do something concrete about it now. Auspicious colours are copper and pale green. Lucky numbers are 7 and 48.
 
You're full of energy today Pisces, so don't let it go to waste. It's an especially good day for rolling up your sleeves at work and being even more industrious than usual. It won't feel like a chore, either, because you'll take pride in what you're doing. If you've been thinking about applying for a new job, keep your eyes peeled for something that has your name written all over it. Powerful colours are smoky quartz and russet. Lucky numbers are 36 and 19.
 
Be very careful about what you say and do today because there's a strong possibility that you're being misleading or confusing. You may think you're being as clear as daylight but everyone else will disagree and accuse you of being as clear as mud. Above all, make sure you explain anything important rather than hoping that others have got the general gist and are somehow blessed with the psychic powers that will enable them to read your mind for the rest of the facts. Auspicious colours are silver and gold. Lucky numbers are 17 and 9.
 
How are you feeling at the moment? If your clothes seem to have shrunk in the wardrobe recently or you feel sluggish, it's time to invest a little time and money in your general well-being. If you've stopped going to the gym but you're still a member, start getting your money's worth again by making some regular visits. Or maybe you fancy buying some vitamin pills or organic food to give yourself a boost? You don't have to spend a fortune to feel good. Beneficial colours are bright purple and ginger. Lucky numbers are 19 and 63.
 
Feeling slightly down in the dumps after yesterday's trials and tribulations? Then get together with a friend who always makes you laugh, or at least give them a ring so you can hear their voice. Failing that, you'll enjoy getting involved in a favourite hobby, especially if it means you can disappear into a little world of your own for a while. Favourable colours are chocolate and caramel. Lucky numbers are 21 and 42.
 
This is a good day for doing things that you've been avoiding recently, perhaps because they're too tedious to think about or because they make you feel sick with apprehension. Well, you're reached the stage where you'd rather get them over with than worry about them any longer, and once you start them you'll realize that they aren't quite so bad after all. Positive colours are pumpkin and blueberry. Lucky numbers are 20 and 38.
 
You're feeling better than you did yesterday, so make the most of today's good mood by getting out and about as much as possible. A complete change of scene is especially beneficial right now because it will give you a fresh perspective on life. It's also a good idea to arrange something that you can look forward to for later in the week. Bold colours are jade and azure. Lucky numbers are 24 and 38.
 
You're making a very favourable impression on your boss or superiors today, so keep up the good work. What's more, there's nothing contrived about this because you're feeling genuinely enthusiastic about what you're doing. If you've been trying to sort out a financial problem recently, especially if it's connected with red tape or your job, give it another go today and you might finally make some headway. Ideal colours are amber and maroon. Lucky numbers are 7 and 26.
 
You've got plenty of energy and vitality today, so put them to good use. It will be a pleasure for you to be active, and you'll get the best of both worlds if you can combine pleasure with exercise in some way. How about going dancing with some friends or playing an energetic game with some children? Or are you thinking of something much more intimate with you-know-who? Empowering colours are bright red and dark purple. Lucky numbers are 5 and 77.
 
You're feeling a bit more cheerful today, and can even see the funny side of what's been happening to you. You're also in a sociable frame of mind, and will love getting together with some of your favourite people. This is a great day for chatting to neighbours or other people you see on an almost daily basis, or for passing on a fascinating snippet of news. Uplifting colours are maroon and lilac. Lucky numbers are 12 and 70.
 
Other people's comments will have a profound effect on you today, so try to be choosy about the company you keep. Ideally, you should stay away from anyone who makes a habit of being gloomy or pessimistic because they'll soon make you feel really depressed. You should also avoid talking yourself into a miserable mood by concentrating on all the things that are wrong in your life. Fortunate colours are ochre and lemon. Lucky numbers are 12 and 19.
 
Today's Full Moon will have a big impact on your relationships during the next two weeks. It's telling you to sort out any long-standing problems with partners so you can forget all about them and move on to a new phase in your relationship. In the meantime, you may have to give someone a few home truths or be prepared to admit that you haven't been behaving as beautifully as you might have hoped. Throughout all this, try to keep calm and not turn the whole thing into a frazzled crisis. Ideal colours are coffee and cream. Lucky numbers are 18 and 57.
 
You're ultra sensitive to what other people think of you today, which means you'll pick up on the merest hint of negativity and then give yourself a hard time about it. Maybe you should set less store by everyone else's opinions of you and rely more on your own evaluations of how you're doing? Even so, it's a good idea to yourself a favour and avoid anyone with a particularly acid tongue right now. Ideal colours are peach and bright purple. Lucky numbers are 33 and 13.
 
Today's Full Moon packs a powerful punch during the coming fortnight because it's teaching you the importance of thinking things through for yourself. This will be no time to make assumptions or lazy judgements because you'll be caught out one way or the other. You should also avoid exaggerating or telling little white lies, because such things will also leave you with egg on your face. Inspirational colours are grape and golden honey. Lucky numbers are 4 and 9.
 
Today's Full Moon is highlighting your career and long-term goals, and will continue to do so for the next two weeks. It's telling you to think seriously about this area of your life and to decide if you're heading in the right direction. Are you on target to achieve your ambitions or would it be better to give up and start again with something that stands a better chance of coming to fruition? You mustn't be defeatist but nor do you want to flog a dead horse. It's decision-time! Insightful colours are dark gold and royal purple. Lucky numbers are 16 and 76.
 
If you've been letting things slide over the past two days because you simply couldn't be bothered with them, you'll have to face the music today. This may be in the guise of someone who criticizes your lack of involvement or commitment, or it may come from your conscience which is giving you a really hard time. Channel your energy into making amends rather than making yourself feel horribly guilty. Ideal colours are burgundy and silver. Lucky numbers are 32 and 78.
 
What's worrying you? Something's up, and it's putting a real dampener on your day. Maybe someone close to you is filling your mind with doubts and anxieties, whether intentionally or otherwise, or perhaps you're fretting about the state of a relationship. Whatever is wrong, you won't be able to solve it right now because you're too involved and too likely to take a negative view of the entire situation. Beneficial colours are spring green and silver. Lucky numbers are 14 and 30.
 
A friend has some harsh words for you, and they hurt. Maybe this person is pointing out all your faults, or they're reminding you of something you said you'd do and then forgot about. Alternatively, maybe you're the one who's in a finger-wagging mood? If so, get things off your chest but don't pile on the guilt or make the other person feel like the lowest of the low, even if you say it's for their own good. How would you like it? Favourable colours are oyster and sunflower yellow. Lucky numbers are 31 and 53.
 
Today's Full Moon will be concentrating on your personal life throughout the next two weeks. All those moonbeams will be illuminating any changes that you need to make to your life, whether they are big or small. Is this your cue to give up a bad habit, such as smoking, or to turn out your wardrobe? Or maybe you're thinking of something much more ambitious and radical? Fortunate colours are navy and silver. Lucky numbers are 11 and 57.
 
If you coasted along yesterday or shelved something important, you can expect to get your knuckles rapped today. Unfortunately, it won't be a very pleasant experience and the person who's ticking you off may make all sorts of nasty comments about your character that really get you squirming. Are they being fair? You may not like what you hear but is there some truth in it? Auspicious colours are marmalade and blueberry. Lucky numbers are 20 and 25.
 
After the extravagance comes remorse, and you'll be feeling rueful if you went over the top yesterday. Rather than not wanting to think about what you've done, it will be far more positive to face facts and take a good, hard look at your financial situation. If you need to let the bank know that you'll soon be overdrawn, do it before they get in touch with you. Favourable colours are sunflower yellow and dark green. Lucky numbers are 30 and 70.
 
In marked contrast to the past couple of days, you're now feeling rather subdued and low key. You may even be distinctly fed up about something and unable to shake off your mood. Be choosy about who you talk to because it won't help to be with people who are naturally gloomy or critical, or who always point out all your failings. Vibrant colours are pistachio and peacock blue. Lucky numbers are 35 and 5.
 
This is a delightfully easy-going and sociable day, and all you're really interested in is being with some kindred spirits. Arrange a night out on the town or meet a friend for lunch, because you're in the mood to have fun. That's great, but try to watch how much money you're spending because it's one of those days when extravagance sweeps over you and money slips through your fingers like water. Happy colours are sunflower yellow and lolly pink. Lucky numbers are 22 and 62.
 
You're in an extremely extravagant and indulgent mood today, so watch out if you're supposed to be on a budget because there'll be nothing economical about your spending habits today. Quite the reverse, in fact, because you'll find it very difficult to resist temptation and splash out on all sorts of treats for yourself and for your loved ones. Fortunate colours are strawberry and toffee. Lucky numbers are 21 and 68.
 
You're in an extremely hedonistic and self-indulgent mood, and the thought of stinting yourself in any way doesn't sit well with you. Right now you have no interest in counting the calories or watching the amount of alcohol you drink, and instead you long to live life to the full. And it seems that nothing and no-one can stop you! Favourable colours are dark brown and mother of pearl. Lucky numbers are 21 and 28.
 
It may be Monday, but you certainly aren't raring to go. Well, you might be raring to go back to bed, but that's about it. The thought of having to go to work is the last thing on your mind right now because you're much more interested in relaxing and having fun. That's no problem if you can please yourself but you'll struggle to do your bit if you're supposed to be slogging away at work because your heart simply isn't in it. Beneficial colours are pistachio and bright yellow. Lucky numbers are 18 and 69.
 
Watch out if you're mixing business with pleasure today, because the business part of the arrangement will quickly be eclipsed by a strong desire to have fun, fun, fun. That's okay up to a point, but you don't want to do anything that you'll regret later on when you've calmed down and sobered up. So enjoy yourself but don't go completely overboard. Fortunate colours are peach and khaki. Lucky numbers are 5 and 48.
 
Your willpower is at an all-time low this Monday, so take note if you're supposed to be on a strict eating or exercise plan because you'll find any excuse to ignore it. It will also be hard for you to concentrate on your work, unless it's really gripping, because you'll hanker for more enjoyable activities such as putting your feet up or meeting some friends. Beneficial colours are coffee and dark yellow. Lucky numbers are 1 and 8.
 
You're in a self-indulgent and fun loving mood today, which is great if you don't have anything important to do. However, it could cause problems if you're supposed to be knuckling down to some hard work because, quite simply, you can't be bothered with it. Get to grips with whatever tasks are necessary so you can then enjoy yourself with a clear conscience. Propitious colours are auburn and silver. Lucky numbers are 31 and 51.
 
There's a conflict today between work and pleasure today; which one is going to win? Even if you are at work your mind will be elsewhere, as you indulge in some pleasant daydreams or plan what you'll be doing when you get home. Don't get caught by your boss! However, make sure you have some fun at some point today, otherwise you'll feel really hard-done-by. Fortunate colours are salmon and dark green. Lucky numbers are 19 and 4.
 
In an ideal world, you would put all your commitments to one side today and spend your time being lazy, doing as little as possible and eating lots of food. Any chance of that happening? I think not, so you'll have to make the best of it by arranging something nice to look forward to, either at some point today or later in the week. Something else that will cheer you up is hearing a lovely compliment. Favourable colours are red velvet and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 26 and 60.
 
You're overwhelmed by the urge to splurge today and there isn't much you can do about it. You could avoid passing any shops, of course, and also keep your computer switched off so there's no danger of buying things over the internet, but that seems far too boring in your current mood. So try to limit the damage but enjoy yourself at the same time. Inspirational colours are red velvet and dark brown. Lucky numbers are 17 and 39.
 
You're in the mood to have fun, which is rather difficult if you're supposed to be slogging away at work. How can you combine duty and pleasure? Well, why not arrange something nice for later on in the day, so you've got something to look forward to? However, once again you must work out how much money you can afford to spend to avoid going over the top and then having to live on bread and water for the rest of the month. Favourable colours are gold and plum. Lucky numbers are 19 and 57.
 
Today, your idea of heaven is to stay at home, doing as little as possible. It's great if that's what you can do because you'll really revel in your creature comforts. However, if you're expected to go to work, your mind won't be on the job because you'll be so busy dreaming about downing tools and relaxing instead. You aren't at your most industrious but try to get the essentials out of the way at the very least. Harmonious colours are navy and mustard yellow. Lucky numbers are 40 and 4.
 
Your tongue could run away with you today, making you say all sorts of things you don't really mean. Be careful not to make promises you can't deliver, especially if they have emotional or financial overtones. You should also be wary of someone who's so silver-tongued that they can talk you into parting with your cash even though you'd rather not have handed it over. Diplomatic colours are russet and cream. Lucky numbers are 37 and 10.
 
Think about your plans for the future; are you happy with the way they're proceeding? You also need to ask yourself whether you can afford to put them into action, and what you're going to do if the answer's 'no'. It's tempting to gloss over these awkward questions, but you have to ask them sooner or later. Be brave! Fortunate colours are dark blue and aubergine. Lucky numbers are 20 and 9.
 
Someone is full of big, ambitious ideas today but will anything come of them? You can't help wondering, but should you pour cold water on this person's schemes or gently encourage them and hope that all your doubts are unfounded? You may also be thinking big right now, especially where your work or health are concerned, but are you being realistic? Ideal colours are oyster and dark gold. Lucky numbers are 21 and 38.
 
Be careful when talking to relatives and other loved ones because you could easily get carried away and say too much. You might exaggerate the facts without realizing it, so the other person gets the wrong impression of what's going on in your life, or you may simply dominate the conversation without realizing it, so no one else can get a word in edgeways. Auspicious colours are passionfruit and teal blue. Lucky numbers are 31 and 5.
 
Someone is full of good ideas today. Or so they think, at any rate. You may beg to differ once you've heard what they've got to say, especially if they're being far too ambitious or overblown. Nevertheless, this is a great day for dreaming up schemes for the future, preferably in tandem with someone you trust, provided that you know where to draw the line. Receptive colours are jade and persimmon. Lucky numbers are 38 and 60.
 
A loved one is very persuasive this Sunday, especially if they're trying to talk you into joining them in a money-making scheme. Watch out because there's no such thing as a free lunch and this person may be leaving out some rather valuable information in case it puts you off. They aren't deliberately trying to pull the wool over your eyes but they are giving things a very positive spin that isn't entirely realistic. Inspiring colours are dark purple and apricot. Lucky numbers are 8 and 30.
 
It's easy to be swept along by enthusiasm and take an overly optimistic view of life today, so try to keep your feet on the ground whenever possible. For instance, you might overestimate how much money you've got in the bank and then spend it, only to realize later on that you miscalculated and now you're broke. Resist the siren lure of friends who want you to join them on an expensive outing if you can't afford it. Fortunate colours are lemon and cherry. Lucky numbers are 34 and 78.
 
You have very big ideas today and it's almost impossible to stop talking about them. However, you may have to edit some of what you say in case you accidentally reveal a secret or you exaggerate the facts and give a misleading impression. If you're writing an important letter, try to leave it for a while before putting it in the post, so you can re-read it and check that you're happy with what you wrote. Fortunate colours are mother of pearl and oyster. Lucky numbers are 18 and 46.
 
Keep a pinch of salt handy because you'll need it at some point today. That's because certain people could start to exaggerate when they're talking to you, perhaps to make a better story or simply because they get carried away with enthusiasm. This is normally quite harmless but it could cause problems if they mislead you in some way or you take everything they say as gospel. Fortunate colours are coffee and champagne. Lucky numbers are 14 and 30.
 
You need to be sure of your facts before stating your case today. Mind you, that's easier said than done because your mouth may run away with you, and you'll hear yourself making announcements with absolute certainty while privately wondering what on earth you're talking about. Make sure you don't land yourself in hot water as a result, or make promises you can't keep. Beneficial colours are sapphire blue and emerald green. Lucky numbers are 21 and 12.
 
A certain person could get awfully carried away today, which makes them say things they don't mean or offer to do things they'll never get round to. Try to take all this with a pinch of salt, otherwise you'll feel incredibly let down when you realize that it was all just a load of hot air. And make sure you don't fall into the same trap yourself of promising more than you can deliver! This is a day to say what you mean and mean what you say. Favourable colours are persimmon and lemon. Lucky numbers are 13 and 48.
 
If you're usually full of doubts about your abilities, you'll have no problems today because you'll feel nicely confident without going over the top. In fact, you'll be amazed at what you manage to achieve! However, if you're already pretty self-assured, you'll have to stop yourself becoming too big for your own boots and taking on projects that you can't possibly cope with. Advantageous colours are ginger and sky blue. Lucky numbers are 9 and 1.
 
You may think you know a loved one through and through, but what happens between you today surprises you because it shows a new facet of their personality. It just goes to prove that you can never take anyone for granted. You might also hit on an unusual or innovative way to change the look or feel of your home, but make sure you consult the other residents before putting your plan into action in case they hate it. Beneficial colours are taupe and lavender. Lucky numbers are 6 and 49.
 
Do something unusual and interesting today, otherwise you'll soon start to feel stale. Maybe you should abandon your usual Saturday pursuits and do something completely different for a change? You'll also enjoy visiting somewhere for the first time, so perhaps you could go shopping in a neighbouring town or district rather than your usual stamping ground. Fortunate colours are ivory and crimson. Lucky numbers are 31 and 11.
 
If you're going shopping your attention will be caught by things that will boost your self-esteem or help you in your job. For instance, you might spot the perfect outfit to wear for a forthcoming job interview or important meeting, especially if you weren't looking for it! This is also a good day for buying items connected with computers and other technology. Energising colours are navy and hazelnut. Lucky numbers are 5 and 44.
 
Take a look around your home to see if it could do with a makeover. You may not be in the mood to do anything drastic, but even so you might decide to do some tidying up or to rearrange the furniture. A loved one might drop in on the spur of the moment or they could say or do something that gives you a nice surprise. Fortuitous colours are sage green and lapis lazuli. Lucky numbers are 19 and 49.
 
Do something spontaneous and enjoyable this Saturday. It's not a day for dreary duties and boring chores unless you have absolutely no option, because your heart will recoil from such things. Instead, meet up with some of the special people in your life or immerse yourself in one of your favourite activities. You might also have a surprise visitor who you're thrilled to see. Ideal colours are pink satin and ivory. Lucky numbers are 4 and 29.
 
Give yourself a treat and do something a little different today. You aren't in the mood for your usual Saturday routine. Instead, you long to visit somewhere new or do something on the spur of the moment. Ideally, you need a complete change of scene, even if it's only for a couple of hours, because that will stimulate your mind and make you feel good. Inspiring colours are silvery blue and dusky pink. Lucky numbers are 19 and 50.
 
You're in a very cheerful mood this Saturday, so don't spoil it by getting bogged down in your usual weekend routine. Instead, forget about your normal Saturday schedule if possible and do something entirely different for a change. If you can't escape a round of shopping and other chores, do them in a different order or find other ways to liven them up such as shopping in a nearby town rather than on your own doorstep. Even these small changes will make you feel invigorated. Fortunate colours are shell pink and dark blue. Lucky numbers are 29 and 46.
 
No matter how well you think you know someone, they'll still take you by surprise today. They may say something that reveals a new side to their personality or confide in you in ways you weren't expecting. Don't worry, it's nothing horrid and it will bring the two of you closer together. If you're out shopping you'll be very tempted to make some impulse buys. Auspicious colours are tangerine and smoky quartz. Lucky numbers are 11 and 55.
 
Someone shows themselves in a completely new light today, forcing you to revise your opinion of them. For instance, if you've always thought that a certain person was a bit of a stick-in-the-mud, you'll be pleasantly surprised now when they reveal a much more light-hearted side to their character. If you've applied for a new job recently there could be some surprise good news now. Fortunate colours are turquoise and bright purple. Lucky numbers are 38 and 13.
 
Keep your ear to the ground because you could hear something very interesting. It might be some surprising news, perhaps about something you weren't expecting to happen or about a neighbour who behaves in ways you would never have expected from them. If you're going out, you'll enjoy visiting somewhere for the first time. Advantageous colours are marmalade and avocado. Lucky numbers are 39 and 42.
 
You know what they say about not judging books by their covers, and sure enough you learn the wisdom of that today. Don't assess someone purely on the strength of their appearance, accent or some other outward characteristic. Once you give them the chance to show their true personality you'll realize that there's a lot more going on in them than you've given them credit for. Ideal colours are lemon and avocado. Lucky numbers are 15 and 1.
 
If you get the chance today, spend time with people who are slightly unusual or unconventional. You may not always feel comfortable having them around but you're able to cope right now, and will actually enjoy being with them. Who knows, some of their quirkiness may even rub off on you! If you're going out tonight, consider trying somewhere that's completely new to you. Beneficial colours are primrose yellow and ginger. Lucky numbers are 8 and 68.
 
You have a lot of enthusiasm today and you're directing it towards activities that you enjoy. For instance, you might spend lots of time on a particular hobby or spare-time interest. Alternatively, you could become completely wrapped up in a humanitarian venture that you feel strongly about. If you want to get a friend involved to keep you company, this is the day to do it. Inspiring colours are crimson and green satin. Lucky numbers are 27 and 42.
 
You're happiest when you can work at your own pace, without anyone breathing down your neck, telling you what to do. If you're left to your own devices like this you'll get a tremendous amount done. You could also become involved in a charitable venture right now, in which case you'll want to give it as much help as possible. Favourable colours are charcoal and cream. Lucky numbers are 17 and 48.
 
You're buzzing with energy and vitality today, making you a real live wire. You'll love it if you're dashing around trying to cram too many activities into too short a time because it will get your adrenalin flowing. Physical activity is very therapeutic for you right now, particularly if you're still recovering from yesterday's disruptions, so try to keep on the go even if you usually lead a rather sedentary life. Dynamic colours are silvery blue and sunset orange. Lucky numbers are 40 and 33.
 
You're raring to go this Friday and have big plans about where you're going and what you're going to achieve. That's great, but you'll make the greatest progress if you can listen to someone's advice or instructions first. You'll also be happiest if you can be left to your own devices while you get on with all this, because then you'll be able to concentrate fully on what you're doing. Auspicious colours are aubergine and smoky quartz. Lucky numbers are 14 and 27.
 
Are you taking enough care of your body? Do you get enough exercise or eat enough of the right foods? You may have a subscription to the gym but do you actually go there? These are all questions to ask yourself this Friday, but you must be honest about the answers! Decide that you need to devote more time to your well-being and how you should go about it. Propitious colours are aqua and magenta. Lucky numbers are 15 and 46.
 
It's one of those days when your enthusiasm could get the better of you, especially if you're anywhere near the shops. Yes, those tempting bargains and must-have deals will seem to be waving at you from the shelves, saying 'Buy me, buy me', and you know what will happen next. If you're planning some domestic changes, don't be talked into spending more money than you intended. Fortuitous colours are amethyst and dark red. Lucky numbers are 32 and 67.
 
You're full of energy and buzz today, and you can't wait to get going on projects that fill you with excitement. This is a super day for pursuing your travelling plans, perhaps by booking that flight or choosing the perfect hotel. If such things are out of the question for the moment, don't fret because you'll have plenty of fun closer to home if you can get together with friends or other people who are on your wavelength. Expressive colours are sapphire blue and emerald green. Lucky numbers are 28 and 43.
 
Work off any lingering nervous tension from yesterday by keeping active whenever possible. Go for a walk, get on your bike, visit the gym or do anything else that will help to keep you fit and happy. If it sounds like a good idea but you aren't sure you can muster the energy, rope in a friend or loved one to keep you company. Insightful colours are jade and burgundy. Lucky numbers are 7 and 78.
 
Make the most of your energy levels this Friday by doing something physical. You'll soon get fed up if you spend too long being sedentary, so even a brisk walk round the block will help you to feel better. If you need some encouragement, ask a friend or colleague to come with you. Maybe you could make it a regular part of your routine from now on? Auspicious colours are quartz and gold. Lucky numbers are 35 and 23.
 
You're in a go-getting mood, especially when it comes to anything connected with your work or your finances. You aren't prepared to settle for a second best performance so you'll do everything as well as possible. If you're hoping to make a good impression on a boss, this means you may have to work round the clock to complete your tasks in time. And it will be worth it! Prosperous colours are aquamarine and brilliant yellow. Lucky numbers are 18 and 68.
 
A certain someone is full of good ideas for you and they're being remarkably persuasive about making you go along with their suggestions. The trick lies in knowing when it's a good idea to agree with what they say and when it would be better if you politely declined. Try not to do anything outrageous and all will be well. Ideal colours are strawberry and copper. Lucky numbers are 19 and 52.
 
Anything is possible today. If you want to do something, you won't allow anything to stand in your way and will tell yourself that you'll come up with a solution to various obstacles sooner or later. And, who knows, maybe you will as you're being so positive and confident? At the moment you feel as though you could take on the world and win! Ideal colours are pale gold and sky blue. Lucky numbers are 14 and 8.
 
You need to keep your wits about you when dealing with a certain person today because there's no knowing what they'll do or say. You might be forgiven for thinking that they're deliberately trying to wrong-foot you or catch you out in some way, for no better reason than that it amuses them. Keep your sense of humour and let them get on with it. You've got better things to do with your time. Fortunate colours are mother of pearl and dark gold. Lucky numbers are 22 and 31.
 
Is a loved one deliberately trying to wind you up or do they just have a knack of making you grit your teeth and roll your eyes? You need every ounce of patience when dealing with you-know-who today because they're being so contrary and difficult, especially when it comes to ideas and items that you feel strongly about. Do you think there might be a connection between their disruptive behaviour and your insistence on honouring your values and priorities? Harmonious colours are lemon and dusky pink. Lucky numbers are 12 and 22.
 
The more rigid and restrictive your routine, the more you'll have to cope with chaotic disruptions today. These irritating incidents are actually sending you a message, telling you to relax and take things more in your stride, although at the time you'll be too busy pulling your hair out to look for a deeper meaning in these difficult situations. But once things have calmed down, ask yourself how you can cut yourself some slack. Liberating colours are white quartz and dark pink. Lucky numbers are 32 and 65.
 
You're determined to go your own way, even if it creates ructions with other people. Right now, you have no desire to be bossed about or given orders, even if it would be in your best interests to do what you're told. The more you feel you're being restricted by authority figures and red tape, the greater your desire will be to rebel. Watch out! Expansive colours are aquamarine and pale pink. Lucky numbers are 9 and 78.
 
Domestic plans look like going haywire today, so be prepared for a few spanners in the works. For instance, a member of the family may drop a mini-bombshell when you're least expecting it or you may have to rearrange your plans to fit in with someone else's emergency. It's all rather disjointed and disruptive, so take care of yourself and try not to get yourself into a state over matters that are really very minor. Comforting colours are marmalade and indigo. Lucky numbers are 6 and 35.
 
The last thing you want is to be confined to one place for too long, because if that happens you'll soon start to feel suffocated and bored, and then you'll want to stir up trouble to see what happens next. However, you may not be consciously aware of what you're doing because you'll be acting instinctively. Try to let off steam in more positive and constructive ways, rather than by causing havoc with your nearest and dearest. Favourable colours are black velvet and soft pink. Lucky numbers are 40 and 61.
 
Don't be surprised if someone speaks out of turn or says the wrong thing today. It's one of those days when you need to develop a very thick skin if you want to avoid feeling shocked, hurt or angry by what someone says to you. It's more than likely that they'll tread on your toes by accident rather than by design. Of course, you might also drop a few clangers, so take care! Favourable colours are bright yellow and nutmeg. Lucky numbers are 14 and 48.
 
A loved one has an uncanny knack of getting under your skin today. They seem to be going out of their way to be difficult and obstructive, and being as contrary as possible. Maybe you should use a little reverse psychology on them by asking them to do the opposite of what you really want? There could also be a disagreement with someone over what they spend their money on. Soothing colours are silvery blue and silvery pink. Lucky numbers are 1 and 69.
 
Watch what you say today, especially if you're feeling rather agitated or irritable. There's a strong possibility that you could blurt out the very thing you were supposed to keep under wraps, or you might drop the sort of brick that turns everyone speechless. Do yourself a favour and try to avoid making comments about political or religious matters because that really will be asking for trouble. Beneficial colours are apple blossom and charcoal. Lucky numbers are 32 and 58.
 
Life has a habit of becoming chaotic today, so be prepared for your plans to work out in ways you weren't expecting. Allow plenty of time if you're travelling because you may encounter delays or interruptions, and there will also be unforeseen problems if it's an ordinary day at work. Do your best to take all this in your stride because there's nothing you can do about it. Favourable colours are turquoise and lilac. Lucky numbers are 4 and 72.
 
Watch out if you're supposed to be on an economy drive right now because you could easily splash out some money on the spur of the moment. This is especially likely if you're out on the town, you're with a friend or you see an item connected with one of your favourite hobbies. It will be almost impossible to resist your urge to splurge. Prosperous colours are scarlet and lavender. Lucky numbers are 3 and 27.
 
A friend has a strange knack of moving the goalposts today, much to your annoyance. You might arrange to meet them at a certain time and place, only to have them ring up at the last minute and change the plan. Or they may say one thing and do another, leaving you wondering what's going on. Try to be flexible and go with the flow, otherwise you'll end up wanting to scream. Favourable colours are lapis lazuli and mango. Lucky numbers are 38 and 46.
 
Get set for a really enjoyable month ahead! Love, happiness, laughter and creativity are all waiting for you now, so this is no time to hold back or stint yourself. Don't be surprised if your popularity goes through the roof, or if your status switches from being single to being part of a couple. You'll also have a lot of fun with children and some of your favourite people over the next four weeks. Beneficial colours are russet and pistachio. Lucky numbers are 33 and 35.
 
Things go very well for you this Wednesday, and it could turn out to be one of the highlights of your week. It definitely helps that you're feeling so sociable and tolerant, and also that you're doing your best to put others at their ease. If you don't have anything nice to look forward to during the next couple of months, consider arranging a short break or a holiday. It's exactly what you're in the mood for right now. Harmonious colours are cream and crimson. Lucky numbers are 5 and 19.
 
You've been feeling withdrawn and reticent so far this month but you start to blossom from today, and during the next four weeks you'll be on really great form. This is the perfect opportunity to get out your list of New Year resolutions (what do you mean, you don't have a list?) and start running through it. What are you going to achieve first? Seize the initiative and make things happen! And if you don't have a list, write one immediately! Beneficial colours are avocado and violet. Lucky numbers are 13 and 22.
 
During the next four weeks you'll feel a strong bond with other people. In fact, your sense of identity will be strengthened by being with others, so you won't want to spend too much time by yourself. This is the perfect opportunity for teaming up with someone, whether or not it's a permanent arrangement, and for trying to fit in with everyone around you. Fortunate colours are peach and ivory. Lucky numbers are 26 and 7.
 
Between now and late February, your sense of identity and self- esteem will be strongly related to the amount of respect you're receiving. If you're doing well and people admire you, you'll feel great now. But if you're having a bad time at the moment or you're out of work, you'll worry about what people are saying about you behind your back. But isn't there more to you than simply what you do for a living or how successful you are? Harmonious colours are pineapple and dark grey. Lucky numbers are 11 and 9.
 
If you felt good yesterday you're feeling even better today, which is very good news. You're in the mood to enjoy yourself and will manage to do this whatever you have planned. What's more, your happy-go- lucky attitude will rub off on everyone else as well, making you a very popular person to have around. Listen out for some good news about a child or loved one. Ideal colours are nutmeg and honeycomb. Lucky numbers are 32 and 36.
 
Once again you're in a very gregarious mood, so it would be a shame to spend too much time on your own. Besides, this is a wonderful chance to get to know someone better because you're feeling so outgoing and friendly. Don't worry if you're going to a social event and you don't know many people because you'll soon get chatting to all and sundry. There's no danger of you being a wallflower! Favourable colours are caramel and fuchsia. Lucky numbers are 11 and 49.
 
You enter a more reflective and peace-loving phase today, and you'll need to have plenty of space for the next month. It's not that you're suddenly feeling antisocial, simply that you'll have to combine your social life and other concerns with a lot of time spent on your own. Whether or not this will be easy will depend on your circumstances, but even if you're surrounded by family all day long you'll have to find some way of retreating every now and then. Expansive colours are ginger and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 37 and 69.
 
During the next four weeks you'll be happiest when you're surrounded by familiar faces and places. This isn't a good time of year for being far from your own front door because it will make you feel unsettled. Right now, you gain your sense of identity from being with people that you know very well, so it's a great opportunity to arrange a big family gathering or spend more time with your closest relatives. Stabilising colours are dark red and sky blue. Lucky numbers are 4 and 19.
 
You have a strong urge to communicate with other people during the next four weeks. If you're a typical Sagittarian then you're normally a good communicator anyway, but right now this part of your personality will be more important than normal. Your sense of identity will be enhanced by your ability to talk to others, and your conversations will help you to understand yourself in new ways. Receptive colours are plum and walnut brown. Lucky numbers are 27 and 17.
 
During the next four weeks you'll enjoy mixing with friends and other like-minded people whenever you get the chance. In fact, being with them will do wonders for you on many levels. If your social circle has shrunk recently for some reason, this is the perfect opportunity to enlarge it, perhaps by joining a society or club that has always appealed to you. Ideal colours are golden honey and silver. Lucky numbers are 31 and 77.
 
The coming four weeks promise to be a time of great excitement for you, in which you'll be offered all sorts of possibilities and opportunities that you can't wait to explore. These might take the form of travel, further education or a spiritual quest, or something else that will make you see the world in a new way. Don't stifle this urge to broaden your mental and physical horizons. Dynamic colours are blood red and peacock blue. Lucky numbers are 37 and 69.
 
It's time to call a truce after yesterday's frazzled atmosphere. Apologize if you think you caused a scene, and make sure you mean it! You're feeling very sociable this Tuesday, so try to get together with someone who's on your wavelength. Maybe you fancy a night out with friends, or you'd prefer a quiet interlude with one person in particular. Harmonious colours are avocado and cream. Lucky numbers are 5 and 15.
 
You need plenty of patience today when dealing with a loved one. They're very dithery, which drives you bats because you can't get much sense out of them. If they go shopping for you they might forget the one thing you need most of all, or they could get into a muddle over a domestic arrangement. Before you blow your top, ask them if something is bothering them because maybe they're distracted by worries you don't know about. Favourable colours are ultramarine and ochre. Lucky numbers are 11 and 73.
 
This is a brilliant day for talking to someone you trust about your innermost emotions. However, you must choose your confidant carefully to ensure that they don't blab all your secrets to everyone else the moment your back is turned. You'll appreciate having some time to yourself this Tuesday, simply so you can reflect on what's been going on and enjoy a little peace and quiet. Auspicious colours are mulberry and pistachio. Lucky numbers are 2 and 3.
 
A deliciously indulgent mood is sweeping over you, making you long to abandon all thoughts of work and give into sheer pleasure instead. If you're at work and there's no way you can down tools early, how about doing something nice in your break? Perhaps a quick visit to your favourite shop will do the trick, or maybe you'd prefer to arrange a romantic tryst for later in the day? Favourable colours are pale gold and silver. Lucky numbers are 25 and 52.
 
You're much more interested in what unites you with others than in what divides you this Tuesday. This means you'll be able to look beyond someone's clothes or the colour of their skin to find out who they are underneath. If possible, you should give yourself an enjoyable break from your usual routine and visit somewhere beautiful or restful. Ideal colours are fawn and butterscotch. Lucky numbers are 17 and 69.
 
Keep your mind fully occupied and you'll feel the benefits of it. Watch an interesting programme on TV rather than something undemanding, or buy a really serious newspaper and read it from cover to cover. You'll enjoy giving your brain some exercise and you'll also learn something new at the same time. Conversations with other people will be illuminating now, too. Auspicious colours are spearmint and aqua. Lucky numbers are 6 and 58.
 
Try to find the time to talk about things that mean a lot to you. This might mean chatting about your family, telling a friend about a favourite hobby or discussing your spiritual beliefs. Whatever it is, it will be good to discuss it this Tuesday. However, this isn't a one-way process so be prepared to listen carefully to what others say to you. Beneficial colours are azure and grape. Lucky numbers are 12 and 37.
 
The shops are calling your name! You're particularly drawn to items that will beautify or adorn you in some way, such as some new clothes or scent. As you know only too well, you'll have to restrain yourself if you're currently counting every penny. Maybe you could treat yourself to something small instead, or compromise with a bar of chocolate or a bag of your favourite sweets? Favourable colours are pale gold and sage green. Lucky numbers are 8 and 53.
 
It doesn't seem very kind but you can't help thinking that a certain person is being completely ineffectual this Tuesday. Maybe they're mooching about like a wet lettuce so you want to shake them, they're indecisive to the point of inanity or they seem to have lost all backbone. You may also suspect their motives in behaving like this, perhaps because they want you to take over what they're supposed to be doing. Will you fall for this trick? Auspicious colours are terracotta and dark blue. Lucky numbers are 12 and 61.
 
Your social life had the potential to cause problems yesterday, yet it has the potential to bring you happiness today. What a difference a day makes! So enjoy this loving and affectionate spell while it lasts, preferably in the company of a few mates. You don't have to do anything very ambitious with them to have fun now, because simply sitting around chatting will be good enough for you. Dynamic colours are bright red and shimmering blue. Lucky numbers are 37 and 43.
 
You're in a very light hearted mood today, which makes a nice change from yesterday. If you stepped out of line you'll have no problems about saying sorry, and you'll do so with grace and style. In fact, you're pretty silver-tongued all round, so it's a good day for talking to people who aren't always the easiest company because you'll manage to cope with them at the moment. Beneficial colours are burgundy and parchment. Lucky numbers are 18 and 48.
 
If you're at work today you'll enjoy creating as happy and harmonious an atmosphere as possible. You might be inspired to buy everyone a treat, suggest you all go out for a drink after work or get talking to the person no one really likes. It's also a good day for chatting to your boss or supervisor and doing your best to get on well with them. Beneficial colours are golden honey and dark green. Lucky numbers are 21 and 71.
 
Feeling put upon? Fed up with all the chores waiting for you? It's one of those difficult days when everyone seems to be conspiring against you and stopping you having fun. Your best option is to get on with your work and enjoy yourself when it's all over, but are you prepared to do that? Try not to waste valuable energy by seething and feeling sorry for yourself. Prosperous colours are cherry blossom and teal blue. Lucky numbers are 29 and 48.
 
Take care today because you're feeling grumpy and irascible, and it won't take much to make you see red. Maybe you're getting fed up with one of the family, or someone makes a comment that puts you on the defensive, and the next thing you know you're shouting your head off. Sort out what's wrong but don't turn it into a huge saga if it's really only a minor glitch. Fortunate colours are cornflower blue and sunflower yellow. Lucky numbers are 29 and 64.
 
There's a clash of opinion with a loved one about values and priorities today, leading to disagreements with a loved one and a rather dicey atmosphere. If you get really heated about things that don't really matter, it's a sign that something more deep-seated is going on. Try to think what this might be. Alternatively, maybe you won't have to wait long because you'll blurt it out in the heat of the moment! Harmonious colours are tangerine and baby blue. Lucky numbers are 29 and 28.
 
If you're at work today you'll soon feel run off your feet. Maybe the phones will ring more than usual, people will keep chatting when you want to concentrate or you'll have to cope with some very awkward customers. All this is bound to raise the tension and make you rather snappy. If so, try not to take out your irritation on people who are completely blameless but who happen to have strayed into the firing line. It's not their fault! Ideal colours are cornflower blue and sunflower yellow. Lucky numbers are 39 and 36.
 
Unfortunately someone has got that Monday morning feeling and it's put them into a bad temper. They could take out their bad mood on you, especially if that means throwing their weight around. Or perhaps you're the one who got out of bed on the wrong side? If you're fuming about something, take the opportunity to clear the air rather than let things fester any longer. Inspirational colours are crimson and shell pink. Lucky numbers are 28 and 76.
 
Keep your head down, because there's a lot of friction in the air today. It's particularly obvious when dealing with friends as they seem to be spoiling for a fight. Or are you the one who's ready to take umbrage at the slightest little thing? Try to keep money and pleasure far apart because they'll be a recipe for disaster and could easily lead to bad feeling, so remember that if you have any sort of financial involvement with a friend. Watch your step! Favourable colours are amethyst and violet. Lucky numbers are 39 and 8.
 
There's a nip in the air and it has nothing to do with the weather. Someone is in a bad mood, although they'll do their best to cover it up, and they're silently fuming about something. You won't know about this until you say or do the wrong thing, and then you'll catch the sharp edge of their tongue. Or are you the one who's got smoke coming out of your ears? If so, do your best to get things off your chest without creating havoc in the process. Advantageous colours are champagne and dark red. Lucky numbers are 20 and 71.
 
The more high-powered someone is, the more likely it is that they'll be carried away by their own sense of self-importance today. As a result, they might try to boss you about or get you to do all the work and then take all the praise. The big question is whether you should say something to them or whether it's more politic to grin and bear it. Fortunate colours are silvery grey and violet. Lucky numbers are 33 and 51.
 
The atmosphere is tense and awkward today, especially when you're with some of the people you know inside out. Tensions are rising to the surface and causing bad feeling, and you need to clear the air. This may result in a row, but if you do lose your temper you must try not to pin all the blame on the other person while claiming that you're completely innocent of any wrongdoing. Fortunate colours are ebony and ivory. Lucky numbers are 18 and 78.
 
There are tensions between you and a loved one this Monday, especially if one of you wants to tell the other what to do. Try to bite your lip if you feel the urge to give someone instructions about how to live their life, otherwise the conversation will soon escalate into a row. Hints of jealousy or possessiveness won't help the situation either, so try to keep these at bay. Beneficial colours are avocado and apricot. Lucky numbers are 32 and 62.
 
If you've been busy with your social life recently, be prepared for a loved one to be a bit miffed today. They may even show distinct signs of jealousy, which is always a turn-off for you but must be faced. Talk things through with them, but don't try to cover anything up because that will only make them even more suspicious of your motives. Beneficial colours are copper and sable. Lucky numbers are 1 and 4.
 
A certain person is very edgy and tense, and they seem to be spoiling for a fight. They may get on their high horse about something or they could take offence over some innocent little remark. Are they being overly sensitive or are you being unduly controversial? It will help to avoid topics that you know will make the fur fly, but it may still be difficult to keep this person sweet. Soothing colours are mango and cream. Lucky numbers are 3 and 21.
 
You're feeling energetic and dynamic, so enjoy it while it lasts. It's great for doing something that calls for courage or bravado, because you have plenty of both, or for lots of energy because you've got that too. If the prospect of booking a holiday or arranging a long weekend away is too good to resist, start thinking about where you want to go. If possible, choose somewhere you've never visited before. Advantageous colours are shimmering gold and iridescent green. Lucky numbers are 28 and 52.
 
You're feeling generous and benevolent this Sunday, and it would be a shame to spend too much time alone. You're also keen to do someone a favour, but only if you can volunteer your services. You'll be very annoyed if this person drops heavy hints about what they'd like you to do or automatically assumes that you're going to help them. Steady colours are butterscotch and burgundy. Lucky numbers are 11 and 12.
 
Get together with some of your favourite people today. You'll love their company, whether they're young or old, although you do have a particular affinity for children this Sunday. If you're with some kids you'll enjoy wearing yourself out playing energetic games such as football or tennis, but could find that you're strangely competitive and determined to beat them. Playful colours are bright pink and sky blue. Lucky numbers are 6 and 6.
 
You don't have much willpower today, which isn't very good news if you're supposed to be on a strict health regime or diet. All your good intentions will vanish at the first whiff of temptation, so try to put as much distance between you and your particular downfall as usual. Be especially careful if you're feeling in need of comfort, because that will send you in the direction of the fridge faster than you can say 'chocolate cake'. Favourable colours are amber and silver. Lucky numbers are 23 and 18.
 
Life is full of opportunities and you can't wait to get your mitts on some of them today. In fact, you'll want to grab as many of them as possible, which is where the problems could start because you'll have a tendency to take on more things than you can manage. So try not to overcommit yourself to anything, even if it's a string of social events, because you'll be embarrassed later on when you have to admit defeat and scale down your ideas. Dazzling colours are gold and indigo. Lucky numbers are 12 and 48.
 
Your family and loved ones keep you so busy today. How about cooking a very special meal or help them out in some way? If you've been thinking about improving your home, or even moving house, get out your calculator and start devising an affordable budget. You'll be able to come up with something sensible that doesn't cost too much. Harmonious colours are burgundy and topaz. Lucky numbers are 40 and 9.
 
You're in the mood to do something a little bit different, especially if it promises to be a day of routine. Break out of your usual rut in some way, perhaps by taking off on a mystery tour or visiting someone who always makes you think. If the lure of travel is too strong to resist, start thinking about where you'll go on holiday this year. Auspicious colours are silvery blue and hazelnut. Lucky numbers are 8 and 76.
 
If you're planning on doing some cooking today, perhaps knocking up a delicious Sunday lunch or dinner for everyone, don't be surprised if you end up making far more food than anyone can eat. Equally, you might end up eating more grub than usual, particularly if you're in need of comfort or you're feeling bored. So be on your guard if you're supposed to be watching your weight! Uplifting colours are dusky pink and peach blossom. Lucky numbers are 38 and 71.
 
You're feeling very sociable and outgoing, so it would be a shame to spend too much time on your own right now. Ideally, you should meet up with a group of friends or kindred spirits, and do something adventurous together. If you're taking part in a group activity you could be asked to take a leading role or to get everyone else organized. Ideal colours are russet and platinum. Lucky numbers are 17 and 13.
 
You have a tendency to take on too much today, so try to pace yourself. For instance, if you're inspired to cook a big meal for some loved ones you may get over-ambitious and end up juggling too many saucepans or running out of time. It's one of those days when you overestimate your abilities, so be particularly careful if you're at work - you don't want to end up with egg on your face. Dynamic colours are apricot and antique gold. Lucky numbers are 35 and 5.
 
If you know that someone isn't feeling very well at the moment or they're going through a hard time, you'll rack your brains to think what you can do for them. However, it will be a very different story if you're expected to help this person or you feel coerced into doing it, because then you won't want to do it at all. Strong colours are bright red and jet black. Lucky numbers are 39 and 67.
 
Try to devote at least a few hours today to doing things that mean a lot to you. You won't be interested in activities that are simply a way of passing the time, and nor will you want to be with people who aren't taking life as seriously as you are this Sunday. Ideally, you should do something that fills you with satisfaction and the knowledge that you've done it to the best of your ability. So what might that be? Ideal colours are crimson and grey. Lucky numbers are 26 and 1.
 
This is a super day because you're in a very easy-going and relaxed mood. You're willing to take people as you find them, and you don't have any egotistical need to make a big impact on others. It's the perfect opportunity for restoring the peace with someone if you've fallen out with them lately, or simply for creating a harmonious atmosphere with everyone you meet. Inspirational colours are blue velvet and white. Lucky numbers are 38 and 61.
 
This is a great day for making things happen, especially if you can work as part of a team. Any sort of group activity will go well, whether it's getting together with some friends that you haven't seen recently or attending a course. If you're lucky, a chum might also do you a favour that's above and beyond the call of duty. Beneficial colours are spring green and taupe. Lucky numbers are 10 and 8.
 
You have a magical impact on other people today, and will find it easy to get them to agree to your suggestions. However, you mustn't take advantage of this because such behaviour will backfire on you sooner or later. It's a wonderful opportunity to break the ice with someone you've always wanted to talk to, or to go out on a date with a prospective partner. Beneficial colours are olive and maroon. Lucky numbers are 16 and 36.
 
Pisceans have a justified reputation for being compassionate and kind, and you certainly live up to it. However, you won't want to make a big song and dance about it, so if you give money to charity or help someone out of a jam you'll treat it as a big secret rather than advertise it to all and sundry. If you're currently in charge of a fund- raising venture or good cause, you'll receive a lot of appreciation today. Diplomatic colours are amber and persimmon. Lucky numbers are 31 and 15.
 
If you want to persuade someone to see things from your point of view, you need to do it gently. You won't get anywhere if you're too insistent or demanding. Instead, you must use some subtlety and diplomacy. If you're really clever, you'll manage to get them to do things your way and then convince them that it was all their idea and they're a total genius. Favourable colours are cream and grapefruit. Lucky numbers are 8 and 2.
 
This is a marvellous day for putting your ego to one side and concentrating on activities that will benefit others. You might do someone a favour, even if it's slightly inconvenient, or let them pour their heart out to you. It's also a great day for having some time to yourself, so you can mull things over or do some meditation without being interrupted. Inspiring colours are pistachio and persimmon. Lucky numbers are 29 and 64.
 
Everything goes well today, helped along by your considerate and easy-going attitude. Even if you're doing ordinary things such as going shopping or doing some cleaning, you'll manage to enjoy yourself at the same time. If a loved one or colleague has been under the weather lately, spare them a thought and make sure they're OK. They may want you to do them a small favour. Favourable colours are pistachio and russet. Lucky numbers are 14 and 58.
 
You're keen to help other people today, particularly if they can't look after themselves. You might drop a few coins in a collecting tin, arrange a more regular contribution to a favourite charity or actually roll up your sleeves and lend a hand. Right now you're eager to put your ego to one side and treat everyone as your equal. Harmonious colours are ochre and tuscany blue. Lucky numbers are 19 and 31.
 
A little magic works wonders today. You might try a complementary therapy and be astonished at how effective it is, or you may be tempted to experiment with some healing. Alternatively, you could discover that laughter or love is the best medicine. It's definitely a day for exploring ways of improving your health, especially if someone knowledgeable gives you some guidance. Expressive colours are amber and sunflower yellow. Lucky numbers are 31 and 47.
 
A close relationship could become even closer today if you play your cards right. All you have to do is be your usual loving, understanding and compassionate self. Easy, isn't it? If you're hoping to get together with someone new, make contact with them now while you're in such an easy-going mood. This is also the perfect day for saying sorry to a loved one in the hope that they'll forgive you. Ideal colours are hazelnut and peacock blue. Lucky numbers are 5 and 24.
 
Aquarians have a strong humanitarian streak and today you get the opportunity to display yours. You might want to lend a hand to a friend or associate who needs your support, or you could prefer to get involved with a charity. It's also a great day for taking part in a gathering of kindred spirits, but you'll want to be one of the crowd rather than the person in charge. Your ego seems to have disappeared for the time being! Beneficial colours are saffron and old oak. Lucky numbers are 10 and 12.
 
This is a nice, easy-going day, especially if you're with loved ones. You'll enjoy making a fuss of them and possibly even buying them a treat or gift. You're also interested in making your home feel more safe, cosy and comfortable, whether by buying some lovely cushions or carpets, or by burning some scented candles or treating yourself to a bunch of your favourite flowers. Ideal colours are burnt orange and sunflower yellow. Lucky numbers are 32 and 12.
 
If you're still feeling down in the dumps after yesterday's self-inflicted criticism, this is when you can go up in your own estimation. Get down to some hard work, or tackle a chore that you've been putting off, and you'll soon feel better about yourself. There could also be some good news about a perk, bonus or pay rise connected with your job. Fortunate colours are bronze and lapis lazuli. Lucky numbers are 35 and 46.
 
Whatever you're doing today, find time to make contact with some loved ones, especially if you haven't been in touch lately. Maybe you could ring an older relative while you're walking the dog, or send someone a quick email to let them know you haven't forgotten them. You've got a great way with words right now, making you charming and diplomatic. Beneficial colours are tan and obsidian. Lucky numbers are 25 and 62.
 
If your spirits have sunk to your boots after yesterday's ruminations, cheer yourself up by doing something that has meaning for you. It doesn't have to cost anything, either, if you're prepared to enjoy some simple pleasures. For instance, you could spend time with a loved one, go for a walk in your favourite stretch of countryside or think seriously about how many blessings you have in your life. Favourable colours are ultramarine and brilliant white. Lucky numbers are 36 and 8.
 
Your thoughts and feelings work together this Friday, which is very good news if you're chatting to a friend because you'll be very eloquent and interesting. However, watch out if you're taking part in a negotiation or discussion because, although you'll be voluble, you'll also be much more subjective and emotional than you realize. Beneficial colours are sky blue and violet. Lucky numbers are 11 and 67.
 
You're ultra-diplomatic today, so make the most of it. You have the happy knack of being able to say the right thing at the right time to the right person, which is very good news if you're meeting someone who's usually rather touchy or huffy. However, beware of promising things you can't deliver, or saying things you don't mean, purely because you want to be liked. Favourable colours are plum and shell pink. Lucky numbers are 9 and 59.
 
If you felt rather miserable yesterday, help is at hand today. This could arrive in the guise of someone who acts like a guardian angel and says exactly the sorts of things that are guaranteed to make you feel better, or simply because you're feeling more like your old self. If you're becoming involved in a secret relationship, you'll hear something that makes you purr like a cat. Harmonious colours are viridian and red. Lucky numbers are 30 and 6.
 
You're blessed with oodles of charm and diplomacy this Friday, which is especially useful if have to sweet-talk someone who's older or more influential than you. You won't have anything to worry about if you're taking part in a meeting or attending an interview because your personality will make everyone sit up and take notice of you. Fortunate colours are onyx and dark red. Lucky numbers are 19 and 16.
 
Go on, pay someone a compliment this Friday! Tell a child how well they're doing at school, or praise someone's creative efforts. Tell someone, or a pet or a plant how special they are. This definitely isn't a day for keeping quiet about such things, and you'll hear some lovely comments about yourself in return. If a loved one is about to celebrate a special occasion you could find the perfect gift today. Ideal colours are raspberry and hazelnut. Lucky numbers are 7 and 72.
 
Yesterday was pretty grim but you're now managing to rise above it. In fact, you're actually feeling pretty good about yourself, thanks to the compliments you're receiving. And no wonder, because you're being very friendly and charming, and everyone wants to be with you. This is good news if you're going out on a date because you'll be fabulous company. Fortunate colours are bluey grey and silvery green. Lucky numbers are 33 and 10.
 
If you're really worried about your money situation at the moment, think about seeing a financial consultant. There are free services around. If nothing else, they'll be a sympathetic audience so you'll feel better for having talked to them. However, they may also have some useful advice. It's a good day to apply for a loan or overdraft because you're at your most charming. Beneficial colours are dusky pink and iridescent blue. Lucky numbers are 30 and 66.
 
Once again you'll enjoy being with friends today, but in a less electrifying way than yesterday. That's a relief, especially if you're beginning to fantasize about playing with fire. This Friday is good for getting together with people who are on the same wavelength as you because you'll really appreciate their company and they'll take you out of yourself. Advantageous colours are obsidian and striped agate. Lucky numbers are 12 and 5.
 
You'll really enjoy stretching your brain this Friday, preferably by having something intellectual or stimulating to think about. It's a great time to collect some information because it will be a pleasure, rather than a chore. If you've been resisting the idea of arranging your next holiday, you may decide it's such a tempting thought that you can't hold out any longer. Inspiring colours are peach and ivy green. Lucky numbers are 26 and 69.
 
The focus is on your finances at the moment and it makes you feel rather uncomfortable today. Maybe you tot up your recent expenses and discover that they're bigger than you thought, or you get a nasty letter from your bank or credit card company. Or perhaps you simply feel gloomy about your monetary prospects and start to chastise yourself about all those things you've bought that you don't really need. Fortunate colours are bright yellow and hazelnut. Lucky numbers are 31 and 19.
 
What's up? It feels as though you've got the weight of the world on your shoulders. Maybe you're feeling bowed down by responsibilities and duties that seem too much to cope with, or you've got to live up to someone's high expectations and never manage to do well enough. Alternatively, you might be worried about an older relative. You're in no fit state to make any decisions right now, so wait for a couple of days before reviewing your situation. It may not seem nearly as grim by then. Ideal colours are pale pink and mother of pearl. Lucky numbers are 4 and 14.
 
Try to get involved in some wide-ranging conversations today, rather than simply chatting about mundane matters. You could hear some very interesting pieces of information, or discover all sorts of facts about someone's life that you never knew about before. There could also be a surprise connected with someone who lives overseas. Auspicious colours are turquoise and gold. Lucky numbers are 26 and 5.
 
Life feels rather drab and difficult today. You may have to cope with a financial snag that casts a blight over your entire day, whether or not this is justified. Do your best to shake off your current miserable mood, and to count your blessings rather than dwell on what you don't have. You should also remember that your individuality has nothing to do with worldly possessions. Bold colours are bright red and jet black. Lucky numbers are 16 and 58.
 
It isn't an easy day because someone is being very strict and critical. You may feel that nothing you do is right, or that it can never be good enough. This is hard to cope with because it triggers all your self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy, even if you normally manage to keep them at bay. Is some of this criticism justified? If so, try to learn from it without taking it too personally. Stabilising colours are pale orange and tan. Lucky numbers are 15 and 28.
 
You're your own harshest critic this Thursday, but try not to give yourself too hard a time. Instead of focusing on your faults, do your best to concentrate on all the good things you have going for you. However, that's easier said than done, especially if you're currently kicking yourself about something and wish you could turn the clock back. Be realistic and don't be too tough on yourself. Soothing colours are aqua and pale gold. Lucky numbers are 5 and 25.
 
Someone is unpredictable today, saying things that take you by surprise or make you think twice. This will be a breath of fresh air, because it will make you question assumptions that you normally take for granted. If you've arranged to meet your partner or a friend, consider going somewhere new rather than sticking to your usual haunts. Inspirational colours are velvet red and silvery grey. Lucky numbers are 27 and 3.
 
Look after yourself today because things aren't very easy. Maybe someone ticks you off very sternly, or you don't need anyone else to criticize you because you're doing such a good job of it yourself. It's one of those days when all your faults are glaringly obvious and your good points are hidden, so it's important that you bolster your self-esteem by reminding yourself of some of your talents. Otherwise, you could end up feeling absolutely wretched. Advantageous colours are turquoise and salmon pink. Lucky numbers are 8 and 17.
 
Someone is a stickler for the facts today, and they'll keep correcting you whenever they get the chance. A few minutes of this will really dampen your spirits and probably make you afraid to open your mouth. On the other hand, you may be the one who's so keen to correct another's faults, in which case you should ask yourself why you're behaving like this. Come on, what's wrong? Favourable colours are pumpkin and grape. Lucky numbers are 28 and 69.
 
You're mooching about like a wet weekend and fed up. You're also feeling as though nothing you do is good enough, so it won't help if a certain someone decides to reinforce your worries by pointing out all your faults. This is not the day to hear them, even if there's more than a grain of truth in what this person is saying. Listen to what they're telling you but try not to take it too personally. Ideal colours are tangerine and dark gold. Lucky numbers are 38 and 64.
 
It isn't a very easy day because you're feeling very sensitive, so anyone's nasty comments will soon start to get to you. Actually, you'll be much happier if you can be left alone to get on with things in peace, especially if you're feeling slightly shy or withdrawn right now. Try to give yourself some light relief, though, otherwise you may spend far too long working because your standards are so high or you imagine you aren't doing things well enough. Favourable colours are orange and primrose. Lucky numbers are 37 and 67.
 
There's a strong accent on friends this January and today is wonderful for getting together with a few of your mates. Or perhaps only one will do? But take care because there are strange undercurrents flowing between you and a certain person, creating a magnetic attraction that's hard to resist. Do you want to follow it up or is it best left alone in case it causes havoc? Stabilising colours are violet and rose. Lucky numbers are 14 and 22.
 
Do your best to keep your feet on the ground when dealing with other people today. That's because you're easily swayed by the people around you now, so someone might influence you to do something that you wouldn't normally contemplate. You're also very kind-hearted this Wednesday, which means someone unscrupulous might want to take you for a ride. Be careful! Favourable colours are oyster and amber. Lucky numbers are 17 and 3.
 
Enjoy being sociable today. It's not a day for keeping yourself to yourself unless you have absolutely no choice in the matter, because you'll blossom whenever you're with other people. What's more, they'll flourish in your company, so everyone will benefit. If you want to increase your social circle, consider joining a club or group that caters for one of your interests. Ideal colours are smoky quartz and ruby red. Lucky numbers are 7 and 68.
 
You need to keep your wits about you this Wednesday because someone who is supposed to know what they're doing hasn't really got a clue. This is probably a temporary phase that they're going through, but that won't help you if they give you confusing or misleading information. If you're wise you'll tactfully query anything that sounds wrong, just in case a mistake has been made. Fortuitous colours are magenta and amethyst. Lucky numbers are 16 and 64.
 
This promises to be a really lovely day, even if nothing very earth-shattering happens. You're simply in a good mood, you're feeling positive and you're radiating bonhomie to everyone who comes into contact with you. This is very good news if you're hoping to dazzle you-know- who with your charms, because they won't be able to resist you while you're like this. In fact, they don't stand a chance! Advantageous colours are red ochre and american oak. Lucky numbers are 17 and 9.
 
You're in a very generous mood today, especially when you've got your wallet or credit card in your hand. This may or may not be good news if you're shopping because you could be tempted to splurge on all sorts of treats for yourself and loved ones. Can you afford them or are you getting yourself into even greater debt? Maybe you need to scale down those generous gestures? Beneficial colours are aquamarine and ochre. Lucky numbers are 22 and 44.
 
You're feeling full of confidence and optimism today, which is great. It certainly puts a spring in your step and ensures that things go with a swing. If your thoughts turn to holidays and long journeys, it will be almost impossible for you not to book up something on the spur of the moment. Well, maybe that's exactly what you should do unless there are good reasons not to? And you'll probably soon make short work of those! Calming colours are beige and peach. Lucky numbers are 10 and 12.
 
You're very sensitive to outside influences today, so keep away from anyone who is likely to upset you. The same is true of any food and drink that doesn't always agree with you, because it certainly won't go down very well this Wednesday. You may also need more rest or sleep than usual because you're feeling slightly below par. Take care of yourself. Calming colours are umber and aquamarine. Lucky numbers are 39 and 11.
 
Be careful because your emotions are in a fragile state today. You're feeling sentimental and possibly even tearful, and may keep drifting off into dewy-eyed reveries about the past. Enjoy them by all means but bear in mind that, given your current state, they may have very little to do with what actually happened. Right now, you've got a tendency to gloss over the bad bits and only concentrate on the good ones, which will be very misleading. Comforting colours are peach and dark green. Lucky numbers are 9 and 58.
 
There's only one thing you feel like doing today, and that's drawing the bedcovers over your head and being left in peace. You're in a highly sensitive mood, so take care of yourself and don't subject yourself to any harsh environments if you can possibly avoid it. For instance, if you know someone who is very abrasive or aggressive, you should give them a wide berth now otherwise they'll make mincemeat of you. This isn't called being a wimp, it's called self-protection. Auspicious colours are lapis lazuli and platinum. Lucky numbers are 15 and 31.
 
A friend is wandering around in a little world of their own, making it difficult to get through to them. You might not even manage to make contact with them because they've disappeared or they're never in when you ring. If you do succeed in tracking them down, they may find it hard to concentrate on what you're saying or they might start talking rubbish. Be patient! Ambitious colours are lavender and navy. Lucky numbers are 16 and 73.
 
You're in a very upbeat mood this Wednesday, so enjoy it while it lasts. Even if you're facing various problems right now, you're determined to rise above them and not to let them spoil your day. This positive attitude could bring a little luck your way, so consider trying your hand at a small gamble. You could buy a lottery ticket or enter a competition, but don't play for high stakes. Stabilising colours are sunflower yellow and cornflower blue. Lucky numbers are 39 and 51.
 
Check the post carefully because it should bring you good news about your finances. For instance, you might discover that you've been given a rebate or grant by your local council, or you could get official notification of a pay rise. If you're job-hunting at the moment, this is a great day to answer adverts or send off your CV. Good luck! Fortunate colours are apricot and lapis lazuli. Lucky numbers are 35 and 35.
 
Someone's enthusiasm is bound to rub off on you today, filling you with excitement and eagerness. They may be talking about a forthcoming journey or holiday, in which case your thoughts will start to run along similar lines. How about arranging a future trip, even if you can only manage a modest weekend break at this stage in the year? Stabilising colours are lime and lemon. Lucky numbers are 7 and 69.
 
Ideally, you should do something that has a lot of meaning for you this Tuesday, particularly if it will help others in some way. For instance, you might put a lot of effort into helping out with a favourite charity or a good cause that's close to your heart, or you may decide that charity begins at home with a loved one. Whatever you do, you won't want to advertise your good deeds and will be happiest if you keep them to yourself. Favourable colours are spring green and violet. Lucky numbers are 76 and 57.
 
This is an ideal day for getting loved ones motivated to do things. That might mean persuading a child to write their Christmas thank-you letters if they haven't already done so, or getting your other half to make that phone call they've been putting off. If you've been at a loose end recently, you'll enjoy meeting new people who could become good friends. Favourable colours are dark gold and cherry. Lucky numbers are 36 and 11.
 
A friend is very encouraging today, much to your delight. They might tell you to carry on with a current project because it looks like being a winner, or insist that you continue to believe in something that's only a pipe dream at the moment because it will eventually turn into reality. Alternatively, you'll be the one who's doing the cheerleader act and encouraging someone else to have faith in themselves and in their dreams. Fortunate colours are blackberry and beige. Lucky numbers are 7 and 25.
 
There's never a dull moment this Tuesday when life keeps you on your toes. You're a lot busier than normal and you really enjoy it. This is a super day for being involved in local activities, such as a scheme to improve your neighbourhood or to raise money for your nearest school, because you'll put your heart and soul into it. And you might have fun at the same time! Dynamic colours are burgundy and silver. Lucky numbers are 21 and 36.
 
It's a fantastic day for standing up for yourself without going over the top, especially if you're dealing with members of officialdom. You'll be able to state your case without losing your cool, and you should get a lot of co-operation in return. So remember this if you have to talk to your boss or supervisor, and don't let yourself get rattled. Inspirational colours are claret and sky blue. Lucky numbers are 9 and 17.
 
You're very effective and efficient today, because you've got the drive and energy to really get yourself motivated. This is great news if you're supposed to be doing something that calls for dedication and single-mindedness, because you'll be very pleased with your efforts. Ideally, you should get on with all this by yourself, and without anyone breathing down your neck, but that may not be possible in which case you'll have to do your best. Don't worry, you'll be fine. Positive colours are lavender and jade. Lucky numbers are 8 and 49.
 
It's a day for keeping active and happily busy, whether you're pottering about at home or completely involved in a high-powered job. You'll bring a lot of energy to whatever you do, and it will be highly enjoyable as well. If you're at a loose end, consider ringing a friend or neighbour and suggesting that you both go shopping or have a night on the town. You want to live a little! Active colours are gold and strawberry. Lucky number is 11.
 
This is the perfect day for getting on with mundane and routine tasks. The thought may not exactly have you dancing round the kitchen for joy, but it will be a source of great satisfaction to get some of these chores out of the way. While you're at it, sort out any financial problems that have been nagging you recently, or ask someone for advice about them. Favourable colours are platinum and sky blue. Lucky numbers are 17 and 15.
 
Take a look round your home today and see if anything needs improving, such as doing some decorating or moving the furniture around. If so, you'll probably be inspired to do it yourself as soon as possible because you'll be consumed with impatience once the idea has occurred to you. You'll also be keen on working out how much money you could save by doing everything yourself. Auspicious colours are tan and navy. Lucky numbers are 9 and 57.
 
If chores have had to take second place to all the festivities recently, this is a good day for redressing the balance. You don't have to feel like Cinderella as you scrub and dust while everyone else is out enjoying themselves, but it's certainly a great opportunity to get to grips with a few tasks that have been hanging fire. You'll feel a sense of achievement when they're out of the way. Propitious colours are charcoal and sky blue. Lucky numbers are 6 and 23.
 
Your mind is working well today, especially when it comes to thinking on your feet. You won't be stumped for answers, even if you're asked a difficult question! You'll be especially pleased if you can pair up with someone to achieve some teamwork, and if you're taking part in a pub quiz you'll be the star of the show. Lucky colours are ivory and kiwifruit. Lucky numbers are 4 and 51.
 
You're being encouraged to establish a greater sense of intimacy with your partner at the moment, and today's New Moon underlines that theme. It is also reminding you to pay attention to your long-term finances, such as your debts and your investments. Make sure that they're all operating smoothly, and if necessary take some remedial action. Romantic colours are apricot and aqua. Lucky numbers are 21 and 8.
 
Do you have enough fun in your life, or do you let work take precedence over pleasure? If you tend to be a workaholic or you think you don't deserve to enjoy yourself, it's time to change your attitude. Try to introduce more enjoyable activities into your life, or do your best to get the most out of everything you do. Showing your love for others will also do you good now. Beneficial colours are silver and white. Lucky numbers are 37 and 20.
 
Your ambitions are fuelled from today, and the New Moon gives them extra impetus. If there's something that you've always wanted to do but have never got around to, why not give it a try now? You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain. The coming couple of weeks are also a brilliant time to plan your next move in your career, so get thinking. Auspicious colours are lemon and fuchsia. Lucky numbers are 17 and 37.
 
It's time to spring-clean your life, starting with the things you don't usually like to think about. This might mean facing up to some of your fears so they shrink to manageable proportions rather than remaining too big to even contemplate. On a practical level, it means tidying up cluttered cupboards, sorting out that pile of junk you keep ignoring or having a blitz on the dusting. Communicative colours are chestnut and silver. Lucky numbers are 13 and 20.
 
Taureans are sometimes accused of being rather set in their ways, but that will be far from the truth during the coming fortnight. Instead of clinging to what you already know, you'll be fully prepared to experiment with things that you don't know. You'll also be receptive to new ideas and will have a powerful thirst for knowledge that won't be easily quenched. Auspicious colours are banana yellow and persimmon. Lucky numbers are 25 and 61.
 
The spotlight is definitely on you at the moment, and today's New Moon is encouraging you to make plenty of changes in your personal life. This will be especially true if your birthday falls on the 9th, 10th or 11th of this month because you're all set for a very important year of transition. But whenever you were born, don't ignore this New Moon because it's bringing you the opportunity to transform yourself in some way. Inspirational colours are jade and cornflower blue. Lucky numbers are 10 and 62.
 
If you want to make 2005 a year to remember (and for all the right reasons!), spend the next couple of weeks brainstorming about your hopes and wishes. How can you turn some of them into reality at long last? First, of course, you'll have to decide whether you think you really deserve them, because if you secretly believe you don't, you'll never get what you want. It sounds as though you're going to be doing some real soul-searching! Auspicious colours are amber satin and cream. Lucky numbers are 19 and 6.
 
During the next couple of weeks you'll be encouraged to think carefully about your financial situation. You have today's New Moon to thank for this, so look on it as an opportunity to put your finances on a new footing. If you've been careless with your cash in the past, now's your chance to get your act together. If you need expert advice from a bank manager or financial adviser, don't be afraid to ask. Advantageous colours are avocado and russet. Lucky numbers are 30 and 12.
 
It's a new year and you're ready for new pastures. They have to be mentally stimulating and put a spring in your step. During the next couple of weeks you might decide to widen your circle of acquaintances or spend more time in contact with your existing friends. You could also become engrossed in a fascinating book or idea. Beneficial colours are taupe and dark red. Lucky numbers are 12 and 15.
 
Big changes are taking place in your partnership right now, thanks to today's New Moon. It's a sign that you need to rethink some of your relationships, especially if they aren't working as well as you'd like. If you've been feeling lonely or on the shelf recently, now's your chance to meet new people. And if you're about to make a big emotional commitment to someone special, you couldn't have chosen a more favourable time. Fortunate colours are mother of pearl and midnight blue. Lucky numbers are 38 and 31.
 
You're already feeling domestically minded but your focus on your home and hearth becomes even sharper from today. If you've been having communication problems with a relative, this is your chance to turn the other cheek and start again. And if you've been toying with the idea of improving your home or moving house, the prospect will start to take a greater hold on your imagination now. Healing colours are platinum and aquamarine. Lucky numbers are 25 and 7.
 
During the next two weeks you should be thinking hard about your work and daily routine. Are you happy with them or is it time for a change? If you're fed up with your current job, this is your chance to look for something that's much more interesting and satisfying. It's also a good opportunity to reorganize your daily schedule so you can find time for more activities. Dynamic colours are dark red and parchment. Lucky numbers are 34 and 45.
 
Friends are even more important to you than usual during the next few weeks, so try not to neglect them even if you're very busy. If you're currently without many friends, perhaps because you've recently moved to a new neighbourhood or you've lost touch with so many of your mates, this is the perfect opportunity to boost your social life again. Join a society or club that sounds as though it might be fun, arrive wearing a big smile, and see what happens. Inspirational colours are obsidian and ivory. Lucky numbers are 14 and 46.
 
During the next few weeks you'll love being surrounded by some of your nearest and dearest. These could be your relatives or they might be friends who feel like family to you, but either way you'll enjoy making a big fuss of them. It's also a great opportunity to lavish some care and attention on your home. You may even be inspired to show off your decorating skills. Communicative colours are green and aubergine. Lucky numbers are 5 and 6.
 
It's time to pay some serious attention to your image, so find a full-length mirror and scrutinize yourself in it. This may be a painful exercise, in which case you need to do something drastic. Change your hairstyle, buy some flattering make-up or treat yourself to some new clothes over the next few weeks, so you can make the most of 2005 knowing that you look and feel your best. Prosperous colours are golden honey and crimson. Lucky numbers are 20 and 18.
 
Yesterday was all about money and that theme continues today. In fact, it will continue until next month, making you long to indulge yourself with all sorts of treats and presents. Although you'll be enticed by fripperies, this is also a very good time to invest some serious money in beautiful or antique items that will grow in value over the years. But make sure you know what you're doing before you part with your money. Ambitious colours are caramel and red. Lucky numbers are 33 and 41.
 
If you're a typical Gemini you aren't always very comfortable about getting close to others, because expressing intense emotions can make you feel embarrassed or hemmed in. However, the rest of January is the perfect time to let down your guard and become more demonstrative, especially with some of the very important people in your life. Favourable colours are copper and spring green. Lucky numbers are 28 and 35.
 
During the next few weeks you'll hanker for pleasant, easy- going relationships and will want to do whatever you can to create harmony with the people around you. That's great, and everyone will love you for it, but try not to reach the stage where you'll put up with almost anything if it means having a quiet life. There could be times when you need to stand up for yourself. Auspicious colours are champagne and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 16 and 19.
 
If you've been hoping to start a sensible eating plan that will see off those extra inches that you put on over Christmas, I've got some bad news for you. You're about to embark on a phase in which you can resist everything except temptation, especially if it comes in your favourite flavours. Try to limit the damage and be especially careful about comfort-eating. Auspicious colours are caramel and avocado. Lucky numbers are 10 and 42.
 
Make the most of the next few weeks because you'll be blessed with an amazing amount of tact and discretion. You'll be astonished at the smooth way you're able to talk yourself out of tricky situations, butter people up without being too obvious about it, and generally keep on the right side of everyone. If only life were always like this! But it isn't, so enjoy it while it lasts. Dynamic colours are hazelnut and bright red. Lucky numbers are 8 and 72.
 
Between now and early February, you'll really enjoy giving your brain some exercise. You might decide to sign up for a course or class of formal education, or you could teach yourself all about something simply because you love it so much. If you're about to take off on holiday, there could be a little romance at your destination, which will definitely give you something to write home about. Uplifting colours are bright red and grape. Lucky numbers are 5 and 43.
 
January is often a rather miserable month that comes as an anti- climax after all the excitements of December. But your January is about to improve by leaps and bounds, bringing you plenty of popularity and love. If you're currently single that could soon change when you meet Mr or Ms Right, and if you're already involved with someone your relationship will go through a very affectionate phase. Aahhhh! Fortunate colours are russet and khaki. Lucky numbers are 11 and 72.
 
It isn't always easy for you to show the soft and sentimental side of your nature but you'll get plenty of opportunity to do just that during the next four weeks. You'll feel much more romantic and lovey-dovey than usual, which is good news if you're part of a couple. However, you could also be attracted to someone who's already involved with someone else, leading to plenty of temptation and possibly even some secret trysts. Emotional colours are pink and persimmon. Lucky numbers are 8 and 44.
 
During the next few weeks it's a good idea to keep on the right side of the important people in your life. This doesn't mean that you've got to suck up to them, because they'll spot that straightaway, but it might help to make more of an effort than usual to keep them happy. Pay your boss a compliment or give a parent a treat. Let them feel appreciated rather than taken for granted. Beneficial colours are peach and butterscotch. Lucky numbers are 18 and 34.
 
If you're supposed to be keeping something a secret you'd better take a vow of silence today, otherwise you could be dismayed when you hear yourself blurting out the very thing you were supposed to shut up about. The fact is that you'll get carried away, especially if you're holding the floor in a conversation and want to carry on having everyone's attention. You will, but for all the wrong reasons. Dreamy colours are grey and honeycomb. Lucky numbers are 39 and 12.
 
A certain person is awfully full of themselves this Saturday. You can't help noticing because they're making such a big fuss about how wonderful they are. Maybe they're boasting about their achievements, or they simply love the sound of their own voice. But do yourself a favour and resist the temptation to give them a taste of their own medicine. It may be satisfying at the time but it won't win you any friends in the long run. Fortunate colours are caramel and ebony. Lucky numbers are 39 and 45.
 
You're full of confidence today, which is great. You know what you're capable of and you're pretty certain that you're doing it well. However, you do need to maintain some sort of modesty, otherwise you could be in danger of biting off more than you can chew or coming across as a bit of a know-all. If you meet someone else who's behaving in this way you'll know how irritating it can be. Fortunate colours are iridescent green and sapphire blue. Lucky numbers are 6 and 26.
 
Money burns a hole in your pocket today. That's fine if you've got plenty of it to spend because you'll have a fantastic time seeing what's on offer in the shops or on the internet. But it isn't such good news if you're supposed to be saving rather than spending, because you'll still get the urge to splurge, especially on items that boost your self- esteem or status symbols. Auspicious colours are oyster and terracotta. Lucky numbers are 38 and 67.
 
Money has the potential to be your greatest downfall today because it's burning a hole in your pocket. If you see something you want to buy you'll struggle to resist the urge to splurge, whether or not you've got the cash. Be careful if you're shopping or out on the tiles with a friend because you may try to outdo each other in a contest to find out who is most extravagant. Only do this if you can really afford it! Fortunate colours are lime and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 32 and 59.
 
A certain someone has a high opinion of themselves today, much to your dismay. It will be difficult to stop them going on and on about themselves, or from telling you all about their clever children. However, there's a chance that you could be the one who's being boastful or pretentious, even if you don't realize it. So try to be aware of what you're saying and of the reception you're getting from the people around you. Bright colours are plum and peach. Lucky numbers are 6 and 24.
 
You're feeling proud of yourself this Saturday, but for some reason you don't want to show it. Maybe you think it's big-headed of you, or the current situation means that it would be tactful for you to play down your recent triumphs. However, your sense of achievement will come out one way or the other, so it would be better to mention it quite clearly than to drop loaded hints and hope someone takes you up on them. Be straightforward! Stabilising colours are amber and terracotta. Lucky numbers are 16 and 1.
 
A certain someone has very definite ideas about how to do things and they'll soon tell you all about them. Actually, it will be difficult to make this person shut up because they seem to be enjoying the sound of their own voice so much. Yes, they've got rather a high opinion of themselves, which is irritating, but they aren't doing anyone any harm, are they? Be patient! Fortunate colours are rich purple and teal blue. Lucky numbers are 9 and 33.
 
If you're usually very shy and withdrawn, you'll be amazed at your level of self confidence today. It will help you to make progress with your current long-term goals, and also be invaluable if you're in the public eye for some reason. Your current mood will also encourage you to aim high, which is great if you usually don't aim high enough because you're full of doubts about your capabilities. You're about to amaze yourself! Fortuitous colours are mother of pearl and magenta. Lucky numbers are 37 and 64.
 
Someone is very full of their own importance today. You might be treated to a long explanation of why they're so clever or good at their job, or they may behave in such an arrogant fashion that it sets your teeth on edge just to watch them. On the other hand, you may be the one who's feeling too pleased with yourself, especially if you've had a personal triumph connected with your home or a partner. Don't let your head swell too much! Creative colours are dark green and claret. Lucky numbers are 31 and 6.
 
You're gripped by a heady sense of optimism today, especially when it comes to your love life and your finances. As far as you're concerned, everything is going well and there's nothing to worry about. Really, Gemini? Are you sure about that? You may be turning a blind eye to a problem that needs to be tackled before it gets any worse. So think carefully! Romantic colours are dark pink and silvery blue. Lucky numbers are 30 and 10.
 
Watch out if you're going shopping with someone, because they'll do their best to encourage you to spend, spend, spend. They aren't doing it for any malevolent reason but simply because they want you to have a good time together, and they probably want you to keep up with their spending so they don't feel so guilty every time they give their credit card an airing. It's fine if you can afford to splurge, but hold back if you can't. Advantageous colours are taupe and apricot. Lucky numbers are 8 and 11.
 
Today you're only really interested in doing things that have some meaning for you. Anything else doesn't appeal very much and you'll have a tendency to do it with a bad grace. If you have to do things that don't float your boat, watch your temper and count to ten if you start to lose your cool. Even then, you'll be tempted to go off pop. It's one of those days when so many things have a tendency to rub you up the wrong way. Beneficial colours are silver and grape. Lucky numbers are 7 and 22.
 
Take a deep breath because it's one of those days when you have to navigate your way around a long list of interruptions, disruptions and irritations.

Lucky numbers are 8 and 44.
 
There's no stopping you today! You've been in a thoughtful mood so far this month but you've now changed tack and it's all about action and energy.

Are you on top of all your financial arrangements or have you let them slide recently? This is a super opportunity to make sure you're up to date with all your bills and credit card statements.

Ideal colours are fuchsia and mango. Lucky numbers are 19 and 78.
 
Easy does it! You're full of energy today but you need to channel it in the right directions, otherwise you'll end up feeling frustrated and irritable.

What you won't like is being cooped up inside for too long, so make sure you get some fresh air. Fortuitous colours are mango and bright blue. Lucky numbers are 19 and 30.
 
This is the perfect day for getting involved in a group activity of some sort, whether it's a club or a social gathering.

That's fine, but don't tread on anyone's toes. Strong colours are platinum and amethyst. Lucky numbers are 5 and 12.
 
If you're a typical Virgo you're usually fairly patient, but that isn't the case today. It's one of those days when people have an uncanny knack of getting under your skin and irritating the life out of you. What's more, the better you know them the more annoying you'll find them. It's a case of familiarity breeding contempt, so count to ten before going off pop. Then, if you're still angry, you can say so. Soothing colours are silvery green and lemon. Lucky numbers are 8 and 74.
 
You've got plenty of nervous energy right now and it's looking for constructive outlets, such as physical exercise or a creative project. Keep busy!

You're very keen on accepting challenges today, because you're in a daredevil mood. It's a day for throwing caution to the winds and taking a few chances, especially where travel is concerned.

It's a strange day and you're feeling rather irritable and nervy. Maybe you have to protect someone's feelings or it's not the right moment to let off steam? However, swallowing your anger won't make it go away so try to find some therapeutic ways to release the tension, otherwise you'll unconsciously wind everyone up and start a fight that way. Soothing colours are aqua and peach. Lucky numbers are 10 and 78.
 
Keep your head down because a partner is breathing fire and it won't take much to make them lose their temper with you. Is this because they're in a foul mood and want to take it out on everyone within shouting distance, or is it because you've done something to annoy them? Be warned that you may not be as innocent as you think, so be prepared to apologize if necessary. Auspicious colours are dark red and khaki. Lucky numbers are 32 and 61.
 
If you're a typical Aquarian you're usually quite sociable, but today you definitely prefer your own company. It will do you good to spend some time by yourself, especially if you've had more than enough social activity during the past few weeks.

Lucky numbers are 8 and 13.
 
It's just the day for making contact with friends, especially if they live a long way away or you haven't seen them for a while.

You take life seriously today and will much prefer to do things that have some meaning for you than to fritter away your time on activities that you can take or leave.

Favourable colours are magenta and cream. Lucky numbers are 23 and 13.
 
A great day for immersing yourself in local activities. You might want to lend your services to a neighbourhood project, especially if you hope to increase your social life at the same time.

It's making contact with one another that counts right now. Fortunate colours are champagne and teal blue. Lucky numbers are 28 and 2.
 
You're in the mood to do some shopping today, so maybe it's a good excuse to investigate the January sales.

You'll also get a kick out of being with some of your nearest and dearest. Vibrant colours are blueberry and pistachio. Lucky numbers are 10 and 8.
 
Whatever you're doing today, it's important that you keep up your social and family contacts.

Favourable colours are treacle and lapis lazuli. Lucky numbers are 38 and 64.
 
This is a marvellous day for getting on with chores and those other little jobs that need your attention. You'll soon get into the swing of them and will feel very pleased with yourself when they're all out of the way.

Dynamic colours are jade and sepia. Lucky numbers are 31 and 7.
 
Honeyed words fall from your lips with no trouble at all today, so make the most of this silver-tongued time while it lasts.

Fortunate colours are burnt orange and passionfruit. Lucky numbers are 30 and 59.
 
It may only be the 5th of January, but you're already starting to feel rather restless and bored. Try to do something that will liven up your day, such as meeting a friend in your lunch hour or arranging to get together with some mates after work. If you aren't at work, it will do you good to take the initiative in something or to have a complete departure from your usual Wednesday routine. It could introduce you to someone very interesting. Auspicious colours are persimmon and grapefruit. Lucky numbers are 27 and 23.
 
Thoughts and feelings are bubbling up from your subconscious today, putting you in a restless and excitable mood.

Lucky numbers are 24 and 30.
 
The past few days have been interesting, to say the least, so do yourself a favour and let off a little steam this Wednesday.

Do your best to be open to new ideas and challenges today because they'll liven up your world in all sorts of ways you can't possibly anticipate.

So grab opportunities and see what happens next. Propitious colours are almond and agate. Lucky numbers are 10 and 9.
 
Life has a few surprises in store for you today, especially if you're trying to keep something under wraps.

Lucky numbers are 10 and 22.
 
You're in the mood for some lively conversation today, especially if you're chatting to a loved one.

Beneficial colours are russet and ochre. Lucky numbers are 28 and 41.
 
It's very easy to get stuck in a rut when dealing with partners and friends. You know how it is, they say something and you always react in the same way.

For instance, if someone often winds you up, try to respond differently for once. It could be a revelation. Fortunate colours are dark brown and golden honey. Lucky numbers are 32 and 6.
 
You need to liven up the day, especially if you don't have anything exciting planned.

Lucky numbers are 8 and 12.
 
You need a change of scene! Even a short respite will help you to feel more relaxed, so try to have as many breaks during the day as possible.

If you can afford it, you'll jump at the thought of booking a holiday or long weekend away. Auspicious colours are hazelnut and oyster. Lucky numbers are 2 and 6.
 
The past few days have been full of highly charged emotion, but there's some relief in sight now.

Lucky numbers are 11 and 78.
 
You're very aware of all the tasks and chores that are awaiting your attention. In fact, they seem to be dogging your footsteps and filling you with guilt the longer you leave them.

Beneficial colours are peach and strawberry. Lucky numbers are 6 and 63.
 
Yesterday it was your feelings that were intense and today it's your thoughts that want to go beyond the superficial.

Lucky numbers are 36 and 49.
 
Someone is determined to get to the bottom of a mystery today, so don't be surprised if you find yourself on the receiving end of some penetrating questions.

Favourable colours are grape and ginger. Lucky numbers are 2 and 7.
 
Be careful about looking too deeply into things this Tuesday because you may not like what you discover. For instance, if you're suspicious about someone's behaviour you might play detective and then learn a few things about them that you'd rather not have known about. Equally, it's important to mind your own business and not pry into other people's affairs if they are no concern of yours. You don't want any backlashes later in the month! Expressive colours are burgundy and pale pink. Lucky numbers are 11 and 72.
 
It's time for some straight talking. In fact, you won't have any patience if you suspect that someone is shilly-shallying or trying to fudge the issue with you, and you'll take great delight in picking plenty of holes in their arguments. Your brain is operating with razor-sharp accuracy, but do your best to resist the temptation to cross-question others as though you're in a court of law. Favourable colours are dark brown and ivy green. Lucky numbers are 21 and 28.
 
If you're a typical Scorpio you have good money sense, and this is a great day for putting it into practice.

Lucky numbers are 40 and 29.
 
You're filled with curiosity about the world today, sending you on a search for knowledge. It's a fabulous opportunity to embark on some sort of course or class so you can learn something new, or to brush up on a topic that you're already familiar with. But be warned - whatever you immerse yourself in today could really grab you, making it hard to think about anything else. Fortuitous colours are deep purple and silver. Lucky numbers are 29 and 23.
 
Are you feeling churned up after everything that happened yesterday? If so, you need to carry out some self analysis so you get a better idea of what's been taking place. You may not be very happy at the prospect of sharing your thoughts with anyone else, perhaps because it's all too private, in which case it could help to confide in your diary or journal instead. Opportune colours are brilliant white and charcoal. Lucky numbers are 40 and 43.
 
You're intrigued by what a friend is up to today and you won't relax until you've got to the bottom of it. The trouble is that you probably won't be able to do this unless you're a born detective, and you might offend your friend in the meantime. Rather than prying into things that don't really concern you, turn your attention to your hopes and wishes, and start thinking about how you can make them a reality. Relaxing colours are champagne and caramel. Lucky numbers are 9 and 29.
 
Your thoughts are working overtime this Tuesday, giving you extra insight into some of your most important relationships.

Lucky numbers are 29 and 17.
 
You're in an inquiring frame of mind today, making you look for answers to the questions that are buzzing around inside your head. You're especially interested in domestic and family matters, but that could mean you step on a few toes if you ask the wrong questions or seem too inquisitive. At some point it will help to think about your own past and lay a few ghosts to rest. Steady colours are sunflower yellow and smoky quartz. Lucky numbers are 24 and 10.
 
No matter what you have planned, find the time to think seriously and deeply about your long-term goals and ambitions. Map out your strategy for success in 2005, especially if you're working to a deadline. Write down your ideas or discuss them with someone you trust, but make sure you get plenty of breaks to avoid reaching the point where you can't see the wood for the trees. You don't want to get tunnel vision! Best colours are magenta and toffee. Lucky numbers are 7 and 12.
 
You're caught up in some very intense and powerful emotions this Monday, and they'll have a tremendous impact on you.

Maybe you've spent too much time cooped up at home over the past few days, or you've had too much family togetherness, but you're feeling rather rattled and frazzled this Monday.

You need to let off steam but you also need to know where to draw the line. Beautiful colours are mauve and salmon. Lucky numbers are 18 and 9.
 
Your feelings for a certain person become even more intense and passionate than usual today.

No matter what the circumstances, what happens between you right now will be very memorable. Passionate colours are passionfruit and sable. Lucky numbers are 17 and 4.
 
Take it easy because you don't have much patience today. Ideally, you should have some time to yourself because that's the best way of keeping out of hot water and avoiding trouble.

Fortuitous colours are opal and amethyst. Lucky numbers are 8 and 34.
 
Your emotions run deep today, making you much more sensitive than usual. You're feeling everything very acutely so you could overreact to things that you normally take in your stride. Nevertheless, you're determined to immerse yourself in your emotional life right now, and quite right too, because it will have a massive impact on you. It might even transform your life in some way. Beneficial colours are olive and teal blue. Lucky numbers are 17 and 46.
 
Put on your kid gloves because you're going to need them when dealing with loved ones this Monday. Maybe it's because everyone's back at work or they're suffering from the after-effects of too much food and drink, but whatever's wrong you seem to be on the sharp end of it. Mind you, you aren't exactly the soul of diplomacy yourself today, are you? It will be a miracle if you get through the day without having a spat or two. Fortuitous colours are hazelnut and avocado. Lucky numbers are 19 and 10.
 
You're very sure of yourself, and convinced that you know what's best for the people around you, which is a difficult combination today.

Do your best to tone it down unless there's no way round it, otherwise you'll have a mutiny on your hands. Beneficial colours are gold and sky blue. Lucky numbers are 2 and 54.
 
You're being awfully bossy and dictatorial today Aries. If so, what's going on? You need to call the shots or show someone who's boss, but try not to take things too far and throw your weight around.

Lucky numbers are 37 and 45.
 
The vexed subject of money threatens to come between you and certain people this Monday. The post may have brought some unpleasant news, such as a credit card bill that you find hard to believe, or a bank statement that can only be read while sitting down. Try not to take your anguish out on others, nor to blame them for your own extravagances. Fortunate colours are burgundy and gold. Lucky numbers are 7 and 12.
 
Watch out if this is your first day back at work because you really aren't in the mood for it. In fact, the prospect of it is making you feel grumpy and bad-tempered, and possibly even a bit sulky. So what's bugging you, and what can you do about it? Is it because you're feeling resentful for some reason, or because you're worried that a secret is about to be exposed? If so, don't take out your bad mood on people who happen to be innocent bystanders. Reserve your ire for the people who deserve it! Calming colours are pink and pistachio. Lucky numbers are 12 and 24.
 
If you're back at work today you'll want to do your best and make a good impression on bosses and superiors. You stand a great chance of doing this but take care that you don't become so keen on getting a pat on the back from them that you actually turn them against you. If you're in a position of power yourself, use it wisely and tactfully today to avoid getting someone's back up or attracting accusations of favouritism or bias. Beneficial colours are caramel and claret. Lucky numbers are 6 and 1.
 
Yesterday's difficult mood has triggered all sort of emotions that need to be sorted out. Maybe it would help to confide in someone you trust, so you can get everything out of your system, or perhaps you'd prefer to be left to your own devices for a while.

Beneficial colours are fuchsia and cream. Lucky numbers are 3 and 24.
 
Take it easy! You're feeling tetchy and overwrought this Sunday, and liable to let things get under your skin in no time at all.

Having a tidy-up or throwing away things you no longer need is good therapy right now. Soothing colours are aquamarine and toffee. Lucky numbers are 27 and 59.
 
A certain person knows exactly what they want you to do and they'll make it very plain. Woe betide you if you choose not to accede to their wishes, even though you're perfectly entitled not to. It might be a boss who behaves in this bullying fashion or an older relative, but it's certainly someone who is hard to stand up to because of their position. Even so, you don't like being ordered about like this and you want to say so. But how? Fortunate colours are ochre and platinum. Lucky numbers are 21 and 40.
 
People are very helpful and supportive today, and you're very grateful. Maybe a partner has some great suggestions for you or a friend makes you an offer you can't refuse.

Favourable colours are dark brown and teal. Lucky numbers are 11 and 40.
 
Take care today because you're feeling very sensitive and vulnerable, which puts you on the defensive. Right now it feels as though people are out to get you, perhaps by making heavy-handed comments or reminding you of past misdemeanours. Is that what's really going on or are you reading too much into the situation? Do your best to keep some sense of perspective otherwise you'll really upset yourself. Fortunate colours are lime and crimson. Lucky numbers are 21 and 61.
 
The topic of money threatens to cause ructions between you and a loved one today, so take care. Maybe you object to someone's idea of what's good value, because you think they're wasting their money on rubbish, or they tell you not to buy something because they don't like it. Things could soon escalate into a row, even over something trivial, especially if you're both busy avoiding the real reason for feeling so angry with each other. Fortuitous colours are champagne and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 22 and 31.
 
A hobby or favourite pastime has plenty of appeal this Sunday, especially if you're starting to crave a little time on your own.

If you've been wondering whether to plan a journey or holiday, someone could talk you into it now. Fortunate colours are cream and banana. Lucky numbers are 35 and 71.
 
You're in a very industrious mood today.

This is all very commendable, but try to find time for a special someone who could do with your support and encouragement. Auspicious colours are brown and honey. Lucky numbers are 11 and 47.
 
Once again you're happiest when left to your own devices. There are certain tasks that you need to get on with, and you'll appreciate being allowed to tackle them in private.

If an elderly relative lives on their own, give them a ring or visit them because they'll appreciate it. Beneficial colours are azure and cream. Lucky numbers are 8 and 7.
 
You're keen to bring out the best in other people today, especially if that means concentrating on their good points and ignoring the negative ones. You might even do someone a favour by encouraging them to look on the bright side, but without being patronizing or insensitive. There could also be talk of making a trip to visit someone who lives far away. It may only be a pipedream at the moment but time will tell. Ideal colours are cinnamon and fawn. Lucky numbers are 30 and 62.
 
If you're a typical Taurean you have a strong practical streak, and it definitely makes itself known this Sunday. You're anxious to get back to your usual routine after all the festivities, so you might feel inspired to do some tidying up. If you're worried about various tasks and chores that you haven't carried out recently, get them out of the way now so you can relax. Uplifting colours are burgundy and lavender. Lucky numbers are 40 and 7.
