Remember that not everyone else wants to dig so deep, so be sparing in what you say. Realistic colors are violet and obsidian. Lucky numbers are 42 and 16.
 
You're thinking about things more deeply than usual and talking in a penetrating way, and come across as being more forceful than you intend. Money is a serious concern for you now, and there are power struggles over resources with someone close to you. You have to find the fine line between being too controlling and being too submissive. Aim for compromise and that will benefit everybody, including you. Positive colors are ginger and taupe. Lucky numbers are 43 and 66.
 
Be sensible now. Take constructive steps to find out what you need to know. Is there some kind of mystery that you want to get to the bottom of? You want to get below the surface layer of reality, right down to the essence of things. You will find long-term answers if you persist. Just tread warily with others, since certain people are not quite on the same wavelength. Propitious colors are mink and sapphire. Lucky numbers are 65 and 9.
 
Sometimes you just have to dig deep to find out what people's motivations really are. Or what has led you to the situation you're now facing. Co-operation may not be easy because you feel others might take advantage if you give way on anything substantial at work. Try not to be defensive because it will make things more difficult in the days ahead. Persuade everyone to be less heated. Persuasive colors are charcoal and navy. Lucky numbers are 11 and 23.
 
Be careful about how you handle things today, Cancer. It is important not to become obsessed with one matter, or so focused in on the tiny detail that you can't see the broader picture. If you look too deeply into it, you may end up getting a bit gloomy. If you put yourself under strain at times, you can just as quickly throw your energy into resolving your problems. What you really want is to serve and care for yourself and others. Beneficial colors are mandarin and striped agate. Lucky numbers are 15 and 30.
 
This is a good time for research and digging below the surface. You will muster up all your persuasive force, but it is important not to arouse opposition by pushing too hard. In a domestic crisis you'll be very resourceful - a real rock on which other family members can lean. Just don't take too much on board yourself. Try to open it up and have a round the table discussion. Fortunate colors are sandstone and raw silk. Lucky numbers are 14 and 7.
 
Even if you are absolutely right in what you are thinking, it's still a great idea to keep an open mind. Control a tendency to be intense, even slightly obsessive. If you can be tolerant of other people's viewpoint, you will make progress faster. You provoke stronger reactions than usual in other people, either because they are seduced by your powerful charm or off-put by your obstinacy. Don't fight arguments to the bitter end. Appropriate colors are silver and saffron. Lucky numbers are 7 and 32.
 
The next few days are a bit edgy, but with the Moon and Venus in your sign, things are more likely to boost you up rather than to bring you down. It's important to have solid, reassuring mates around you now - people you can depend on. Your plans and hopes for the future change without warning, but you do feel the need for adventure and excitement. Initially you may feel slightly insecure if you let of your old ambitions, but this is a time to test out the unknown. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Ideal colors are golden beryl and red pepper. Lucky numbers are 78 and 61.
 
Subtle hints of someone's unspoken needs are in the air. Make sure you're not co-opted into carrying everyone else's problems. Be more original and open to risks at work, otherwise you'll end up feeling stale and bored. Arguments with authority figures are likely if they try to tie you down. Remember, if you cling to security, life will force you to look squarely at the compromises you're making. Beneficial colors are toffee and rich wine. Lucky numbers are 73 and 4.
 
Scattering yourself too widely is all too likely at the moment. Don't be frantic, my lovey Fish! If you can detach your feelings from your thinking you will find it easier to focus and concentrate. Why not act like a rugged individualist? You could become one; that's the power of magic. This is definitely the right time for you to step out of your shell. Outrageous colors are cumquat and cream. Lucky numbers are 11 and 78.
 
Don't let other people demand too much of you. If you are giving out a great deal, then it would obviously be a bright idea to look after your body. See what you need to do to give it a bit of a boost. Freedom is what you really want, away from old restrictive situations and ties. Your emotional life may be in a state of upheaval, for you are abandoning much that has been inhibiting you in the past. Courageous colors are carnelian and jasper. Lucky numbers are 62 and 19.
 
Give a wide berth to boring types and whingers, Scorp. Hang out with those you trust in your life and who have helped you in the past. You may feel the urge to be way, way out and rave it up socially and romantically. Could this be why you feel so restless around conventional relationships, which are making you feel bored or trapped? Advantageous colors are warm brown and spring green. Lucky numbers are 28 and 58.
 
Back off from tricky circumstances, Aquarius. Find a little niche in the office or at home where you can be in charge of all you survey. It may be a roller-coaster where money is concerned, but that is not necessarily bad. It just means larger lump sums than usual come in and go out. Be flexible so you can cope with any eventuality. Favorable colors are kiwifruit and terracotta. Lucky numbers are 56 and 76.
 
If you hoard your money so much that you are not able to give yourself the odd treat, you will feel deprived. But if you pleasure your senses and give yourself the limitless goodies of life, then your budget will be unbalanced. Uh oh. Looks like moderation is the answer. Find where you have been overly restricted in the past. Were you too determined to cram yourself into a space that didn't really suit you? Beneficial colors are buttercup and bronze. Lucky numbers are 9 and 27.
 
New arrangements are needed with close partners over joint finances, or over your emotional life. Make the effort, it will put everything on a more solid footing. You need to be free to operate in your own highly individual style and your own inventive ideas will be best. Take the opportunity to seek new remedies in order to keep fit, or to resolve old ailments. Be experimental but not too cranky. Healing colors are russet and green. Lucky numbers are 12 and 44.
 
Find intriguing things to do, dear Virgo, because you need to be mentally stretched. Get out and meet new friends. Learn about different countries and cultures, anything to make you feel that life is brighter and breezier. Up close and personal, you seem to need more elbow room to express yourself freely. Beware. This can cause strains in relationships that are at a fragile stage, or where partners are insecure. Adventurous colors are burgundy and pineapple. Lucky numbers are 68 and 9.
 
Relationships with women in general should be good. Show yourself in a positive way, more protective and nurturing. If you take care of others, they are much more likely to respond in like manner. Open your mind to new ideas. This can be inspiring, but it leaves you feeling unsettled. Your working routines are speeded up so be wary, because at times your energy is far too scattered. Positive colors are celadon and milk coffee. Lucky numbers are 67 and 9.
 
Don't get down if a friend pays more attention to someone else, dear Cancer, because it will pass by very quickly. Things tend to be good one moment and not so good the next, so just let it all ebb and flow. You are intrigued by new ideas, and your companions see you as having a fascinating mind. Release your bright, inventive opinions! They may not always meet with universal agreement, but they will certainly stimulate discussion. Persuasive colors are chrysolite and maroon. Lucky numbers are 19 and 10.
 
You are very responsive to the mood around you at work and therefore good at handling group situations. Incentive and ambition are tugging at your sleeve, but you're putting it across in a very nice way for other people. Bravo, Lions! Avoid switching from one feeling to another without warning, because that makes it tricky for close relationships to run on an even keel. You need a tolerant partner, who will let you run your own race. Resourceful colors are turquoise and topaz. Lucky numbers are 55 and 25.
 
Feeling a little lonely or shy? Well, you might hide your feelings now, but this phase lasts only for a few days so there's nothing to worry about. Just enjoy your own company. Socializing may not appeal, but there are other activities to attract you. Anything mystical or spiritual will hold your attention, since you are tuned into deeper levels of awareness. You can also be very helpful as far as other people are concerned. Harmonious colors are slate and jasmine. Lucky numbers are 54 and 50.
 
If you mix emotion and logic rather haphazardly, confusion is likely to result. Speak to companions in a cooler, more rational way, and they're likely to connect a little better. But you will be whizzing around doing things in a very lively way. Check out in advance whether what you're doing is necessary. Slow down and think things through. Favorable colors are red brocade and spanish leather. Lucky numbers are 11 and 33.
 
You are experiencing a clearing-out phase in your life, marked by the entry of Mercury into Pisces in retro mode, along with mighty Mars retro in your own sign. You need to let go of whatever is not needed for the days ahead, but you may be possessive about material things or the past. It's okay to be somewhat sentimental, but try not to hang on too tightly, or dig your heels in too much. Stand firm until you find the answers you are looking for, then you can let go and roll with the flow. Ideal colors are navy and wheat. Lucky numbers are 18 and 44.
 
Your moods tend to chop and change fairly quickly. Your guns are out at any whiff of criticism as Mercury retrogrades back into your twelfth house. Resist the urge to overreact. Put yourself into other people's shoes -- that way you will know what you want and also what others want as well. There's no need to get yourself all stewed up over something that isn't quite as important as you're making it out to be. Propitious colors are red cherry and glossy obsidian. Lucky numbers are 17 and 21.
 
Other people will give helpful hints as you set your agenda for the coming month, so ask and it shall be given. It is not a good idea to make up your mind instantly until you have had a chance to discuss it with everyone. Listen carefully and sort out the ideas you have been given. Then when the time is right, you will know exactly what the options are and what is going to be practical and workable. Favorable colors are aquamarine and heather. Lucky numbers are 55 and 71.
 
Put aside your own need for frivolity and indulgence and make sure everyone else is getting what they want. Being of service to others will give you reassurance and, rest assured, more support will be on offer for you very soon. Just polish your halo, and console yourself with the thought that you will get your reward in a couple of days. Responsible colors are dark grey and myrtle. Lucky numbers are 6 and 3.
 
Do you want to belong and put down roots? Make your intimate surroundings a cocoon of comfort, with all your favourite people in the frame. The atmosphere is sentimental, remembering the good not the gritty times. When you get the chance to have a private moment, think about personal matters that have been tucked into the background. If you let things come to the surface in your mind you can really sort them out. Positive colors are rye bread and red coral. Lucky numbers are 51 and 69.
 
Your intuition is working well, so you can look ahead and know a little of what is coming. Mixing with folks from different countries and cultures will put you in brighter spirits. A real attack of wanderlust makes it tricky to settle down to anything requiring concentration. Don't be stuck in a corner doing tedious chores. It's time to get out and about, seeking adventure. Let your imagination soar. Positive colors are bright orange and pale hyacinth. Lucky numbers are 63 and 39.
 
You work well today with the public or your wider circle of friends, since you are sensitive to the subtle messages that come across. Avoid leaping too emotionally into a situation, only to find that you don't really want to see it through to the end. You sometimes have a tendency to lose courage about things and your energy will be rather fragile just now. Seek out support from partners and friends, and avoid open conflict. Subtle colors are burnt umber and topaz. Lucky numbers are 3 and 12.
 
The better things of life -- good food and drink, pleasant surroundings, sensuous clothes -- are on your mind as retro Mercury heads back into your sign. You will be the focus of the attention of others, who may even write something about you. Things get confused and edgy. Your need for financial security may push you one way, while the urge to be seen pulls you the other. Do you want to pamper your body with things that feel, smell and taste good? You know this never comes cheap. Auspicious colors are golden rod and malachite. Lucky numbers are 26 and 26.
 
Your emotions are more fickle than usual, Archers. If you are feeling impressionable, even dependent or sentimental, try not to be too possessive. If you do feel like clinging on to your loved ones, that would not turn out to be a wise course of action. Have your entertainment and enjoyment but resist the urge to pin people down. Otherwise you could find that they want to head elsewhere. Favorable colors are heather and golden wattle. Lucky numbers are 56 and 44.
 
Strength and encouragement comes from work, rather than your home life for the next couple of days. You will find yourself expressing your emotions in public more than you usually do. Even though this may feel strange at first, it does mean that other people see the more human side of you. You attract more sympathy from others, but at the same time are much more sensitive to what is going on around you at work. Fortunate colors are carnation and sepia. Lucky numbers are 1 and 10.
 
Well, aren't you the center of attention! The Equinox, the beginning of the new astrological year, is a key time and this year both the Sun and Moon have come together in your sign. You should feel more self sufficient, even self absorbed, under today's New Moon, but why not? It's your time, the time of the mighty Ram! Despite a retro Mercury (and a retro Mars), your mind is witty and sharp. Start your motors and aim for the stars! Advantageous colors are vermilion and silver. Lucky numbers are 1 and 2.
 
New Moons are always the start of something new and this is a big one, because it's pretty much on the Equinox. If you think of what it looks like in the sky, it's a faint crescent of light that grows bigger as time goes on, so don't expect anything major immediately. You need to put your wholehearted attention behind the scenes into whatever you want to put into place over the next year. Positive colors are claret and sharkskin. Lucky numbers are 5 and 28.
 
It's the Equinox season, which isn't the most glamorous time of the year at work for you, Scorpio. Nevertheless, today's New Moon could just bring the right circumstances for you to reorganize some of your methods. If you can find the discipline, you'll clear up a good many tangles before they happen. The feeling is more intense for a few weeks, which can be awaken jealousy if you feel insecure. Even though you come across with more power than usual, there's no need to display your hand. Advantageous colors are hibiscus and pistachio. Lucky numbers are 8 and 11.
 
Give your reputation a boost and get the recognition that your talents richly deserve. It's a New Moon at the Equinox, so you cannot rest on your laurels; give new projects a hefty push to make sure you are building for the days ahead.

Lucky numbers are 10 and 37.
 
Thanks to the Equinox, your feelings are more intense than usual. It's a New Moon too in your eighth house. Does that tell you what you need to know about an intimate partnership? If you lay your cards on the table tactfully, you are likely to get a better understanding in the future. It's not wise to justify what you do just because of the outcome. Make a new start and try to be more understanding of those who lack your drive. Advantageous colors are golden honey and rich saffron. Lucky numbers are 8 and 17.
 
It's the perfect time to get together with a partner, so that you feel secure in whatever you are doing, whether at play or at work. You may have to be less self-sufficient and more adaptable to get them on your wavelength. It's a New Moon at the Equinox, so be ready to give before you get, it will be worth it. Being challenged and tested makes you come alive... wouldn't you rather travel far than be stuck in routine? Auspicious colors are chrome and charcoal. Lucky numbers are 3 and 61.
 
If there have been any family rifts or differences recently, the New Moon at the Equinox (the new astrological year), could just be the time to wipe the slate clean and start again. Reach out and see where you can spread harmony. More for your own sake than anything else, you need to control the tendency to overwork for the next few weeks, as you'll find it difficult to wind down until everything has been finished. If you are feeling dissatisfied with what you do, don't get too critical. Auspicious colors are buttercup and peach. Lucky numbers are 58 and 51.
 
The Equinox is the time of year to review your beliefs and philosophy of living, and the Aries New Moon presents the perfect opportunity to set the wheels in motion. Your outlook does not remain static from childhood to old age, due to the movements of the planets. You constantly discard what no longer fits and take in new information that urges you to alter your approach. Co-operation is not always easy, but your enthusiasm is catching, so folks should rally round. It's the start of a new way for you. Fortunate colors are indian red and aztec gold. Lucky numbers are 9 and 14.
 
It's a New Moon at the Equinox, the start of a new astrological year! Wise Fish will cast an eye six months or even a year ahead and work out where you want to be financially as well as emotionally.

In your spare moments throw some energy into reorganizing at home. Advantageous colors are maroon and hazel. Lucky numbers are 4 and 6.
 
Those new plans you have been mulling over in recent days can now be given a sensible push. It's a New Moon at the Equinox, so sort out your game plan for the next 12 months, but don't stop at thinking! Make some decisions and put them into action. This is a great time to start new projects, so use your initiative, imagination, drive and determination. You are a great starter, but not such a good finisher. Make the effort to be more disciplined. Beneficial colors are horse chestnut and claret. Lucky numbers are 25 and 4.
 
Everyone knows your heart is in the right place, Aquarius, but they may not be entirely clear about what you are driving at! You need to get more method and discipline into your schedule, and since this is a New Moon at the Equinox, it could be the ideal day to start. The planets push you to center-stage, so a chatty phase is in the frame. It's a good time to research new gear, but take care if you make a commitment, as Mercury is still retro, and tends to throw a spanner in the works. Auspicious colors are red carnation and teal blue. Lucky numbers are 19 and 23.
 
This year's Equinox sees a New Moon in romantic Aries, so you can allow a new facet of your personality to shine without apology or self- consciousness.

The right people will respond very positively. Auspicious colors are royal blue and bright red. Lucky numbers are 5 and 36.
 
The Equinox marks the beginning of the new astrological year, so you are feeling communicative and creative. Your mental processes are energized. Filled with ideas, you need to communicate as you get busy planning projects, attending meetings and running around. Buying or upgrading a computer, car, or communications equipment is high on the agenda, but sign nothing while Mercury is retrograde. Activities with siblings and neighbors increase. Take a bigger role in community affairs. Read more on the Equinox! Communicative colors are wild orchid and shimmering blue. Lucky numbers are 3 and 9.
 
The Equinox marks the transit of the Sun into Aries, the fiery sign of the Ram. The start of a new astrological year, this is a good time to examine what does or does not motivate you to work. Do you take pride in workplace efficiency? Does whether you work for yourself, or for someone else, make a difference to your attitude? Your status with workmates and subordinates takes the focus. A sense of your own mortality may prompt a greater concern with your health, perhaps generating some enthusiasm for proper diet and physical fitness. Read more on the Equinox! Beneficial colors are crimson and gold. Lucky numbers are 5 and 6.
 
Today marks the official Equinox, the start of a new astrological year. The focus in weeks ahead is mainly on your public image. What others think of you comes to the fore.

Do not let failure discourage you, especially since success will grow from seeds you plant now. Read more on the Equinox! Fortunate colors are vermilion and leaf green. Lucky numbers are 9 and 10.
 
The Sun's entry into the cardinal signs always marks the deep structure of the year. The Sun in fiery Aries at the Equinox turns the focus to home, family and domestic conditions. You need to assert and express yourself within the family. Control arrogance or stubborn pride, or this will offend parents and others. Disputes over family property may come, though family pride is high and bonds are strengthened. Family support and connections boost new ventures of your own at this time. Read more on the Equinox! Positive colors are old gold and ivory. Lucky numbers are 4 and 10.
 
The Equinox is a glorious time for the Archer, as the Sun bursts into Aries, the Ram. This awakens your fifth house of romance, children and creative speculation, so pleasure and fulfilment comes your way in the weeks ahead.

Read more on the Equinox! Beneficial colors are amethyst and golden topaz. Lucky numbers are 12 and 25.
 
The Equinox throws your friendships and associations into focus. It turns your attention to your hopes and dreams. Are you finding fulfilment?

Friendly colors are emerald and gold. Lucky numbers are 10 and 11.
 
Money and status (or lack of either) via inheritance, business partners or marriage, takes your attention at the Equinox, the start of a brand new tropical astrological year.

Beneficial colors are rich red and yellow ochre. Lucky numbers are 23 and 20.

Yes, it's the Equinox, always a fabulous time for the Lion, as the Sun, your life-ruler, awakens the vernal point. In coming weeks, the need to broadcast your opinions, whether directly or through writing and publishing, intensifies. Be more generous in contributing time and talents to religious, educational or political institutions. Advanced education or training is stimulated. Outgoing and assertive when travelling abroad, or dealing with those of a different race or culture, you are inclined to take risks and become more daring. Read more on the Equinox! Excellent colors are bright red and sunny yellow. Lucky numbers are 9 and 27.
 
The Equinox is the time of year when day and night are balanced, when the Sun lights up your opposite sign. It marks the start of the new astrological year, when partnership issues come to the fore for you. Your influence over others and your ability to elicit cooperation is central. Do they see you as strong, independent and forceful? Do you dominate your partner, or is it the other way round?

Positive colors are bright yellow and brilliant blue. Lucky numbers are 1 and 7.

If you make the effort to be more sensitive to the needs of others, you will be better able to help. Just remember to stand firm for your rights as the Sun enters your seventh house.

Fortunate colors are toffee and apricot. Lucky numbers are 7 and 8.
 
As the mighty solar orb rolls into fiery Aries, you seem to know a little about a good many subjects, Aquarius. Are you scattering your attention in too many directions at once, or across too wide a field? Leave aside any task that requires clear attention to precise detail, as with Mercury and Mars retrograde, you're may have to go back and redo it later on. Have fun with friends and neighbors instead. Lively colors are electric blue and bright green. Lucky numbers are 34 and 20.
 
As the Sun strides into your sign, you'll be in buoyant form. What they get is what they see. You don't hide much away; you pride yourself on being as upfront as possible.

Auspicious colors are red coral and antique leather. Lucky numbers are 11 and 15.
 
Over the next few weeks you will gain success at work, though oddly enough, you may not think so. You think that others are claiming credit for your achievements.

You have a magical way of understanding what they're all about. Beneficial colors are red coral and smoky quartz. Lucky numbers are 22 and 29.
 
In love with life, Sagittarius? Of course, when the Sun strikes fire in Aries, the mighty sign of the Ram! In some ways you feel like a child at heart - spontaneous, colorful and unselfconscious.

Forget the accounts, or the other unpleasant sides of reality. Fortunate colors are jasmine and lime. Lucky numbers are 16 and 23.
 
If life feels like something of a struggle in the weeks ahead, remember that perseverance pays off. You seek deeper answers than usual, maybe more passionate connections.

Fascinated by rather mystical things, you need to get away from the rational, practical world. Favorable colors are aqua and orange. Lucky numbers are 13 and 26.
 
Over the next few weeks there is safety and security in numbers, so don't fly solo or as part of a claustrophobic twosome. The Moon awakens Chiron, a great healer.

Lucky numbers are 11 and 29.
 
Not at your most outgoing and sociable, you're happiest in the quiet backwaters for a few weeks. Even your own company is not a hardship.

Positive colors are amber and aubergine. Lucky numbers are 10 and 21.
 
You come across as honest, outgoing and confident, Leo, as the Sun strides into Aries. Good with words, you make a popular companion at work and in your leisure activities. A charming message is in the frame, or a chance encounter that leaves you feeling rather floaty. Maybe it will just be a passing moment, but it will bring a deeper sense of connection to a better world. Try to remember it when you have to get back into the hassle and hustle. Excellent colors are vermilion and ebony. Lucky numbers are 9 and 33.
 
More sensitive and private than usual as the Sun strides into fiery Aries, you're tempted to put up defensive barriers against the outside world. Avoid being directly confrontational, or leaping in with provocative comments. Make sure you know how to finish what you start. Talking to your nearest and dearest will help you sort out any family tensions that have been swept under the carpet. Beneficial colors are blue sapphire and yellow iris. Lucky numbers are 10 and 22.
 
The good life and all it brings with it never comes cheap, dear Fish. You need to boost your nest egg too. With the sensual Moon in Pisces, you're more sensitive to the subtler aspects of the world than usual, so everything around feels dreamy and romantic. If it doesn't, it's time to disappear into that sweet world inside yourself. If you need to be in contact with other people, you'll know the answer to their problems without even having to ask. Favorable colors are amethyst and ivory. Lucky numbers are 19 and 21.
 
Your health should be good, so you're a bright, breezy and bouncy Ram indeed. This gives a psychological boost and you can assert yourself. You work well with others as you push them along in the direction you want to go. No one can easily put you off track once you know where you're aiming. Your staying power is greater than usual and others will find you dependable. Advantageous colors are port wine and butterscotch. Lucky numbers are 16 and 28.
 
Face up to the challenge without throwing a tantrum or getting too hot under the collar. Everyone seems edgy, so don't end up saying things you later come to regret.

Control your anger with those who are acting unfairly and appear to be getting away with it. Beneficial colors are lavender and grapefruit. Lucky numbers are 5 and 52.

Aim to gain a more solid reputation, and guard your position, but don't sublimate your real feelings in the determination to succeed. Favorable colors are hyacinth and rich raisin. Lucky numbers are 10 and 50.
 
Your achievements are recognized today, even in a small way. It isn't luck: you've decided to project yourself with more vigor! Avoid arguments.

Lucky numbers are 44 and 35.
 
Channel both your energy and your competitive spirit into the way you communicate with your everyday contacts. You will be talking much faster than usual and sweeping any obstacles off to one side.

Ensure that no one digs their heels in and refuses to budge. Auspicious colors are pumpkin and glazed brick. Lucky numbers are 18 and 12.
 
Get cracking and don't let yourself be distracted. High energy influences give you that extra zest which will make it all happen. Whatever has been stuck can now be shifted!

Determined colors are electric blue and ginger. Lucky numbers are 36 and 19.
 
Buzz, buzz. Busy, busy. You have an intense desire to achieve and you have the potential to get things done, but there could be some risks in all this passionate energy.

Favorable colors are periwinkle and indigo. Lucky numbers are 9 and 2.
 
There's no suffering fools or slowcoaches gladly, Virgo. You're slightly accident-prone, as you rush all over the place, so take care. However there is no point in trying to be quiet and serene, since that won't work. Channel your energy in sensible directions and do not be petty or devious. You have an urge to be free, so brook no interference. Think big and then take action. Advantageous colors are black onyx and purple sage. Lucky numbers are 12 and 69.
 
Stand your ground, Libra. Insist on getting your own way. Nobody will take advantage of you or intrude on your territory, but resist any urge to flare up over tiny obstacles or delays.

Feeling restless? Crank up a sense of get-up-and-go and go straight after what you want. You could be too reckless, while travelling, riding, or driving, so take care. You are boosted with dynamic energy, which needs to be sensitively channeled into work behind the scenes, such as helping or caring for others, or your own creative ventures. Determined colors are plum and butterscotch. Lucky numbers are 40 and 68.
 
Be dynamic but not too assertive. The Moon's still in your sign, so don't trample on other people's rights to protect your own. Physical work will do you good. You will be great at reorganizing, do- it-yourself work and generally racing around to maintain order. But you could also come across as bossy and unduly intense. Take care you don't turn your intimate surroundings into a battlefield. Auspicious colors are scarlet and peach blossom. Lucky numbers are 54 and 43.
 
Today might just be your chance to build bridges. Express what you feel without being abrasive, so no one can take offence. Your open manner attracts a more positive response from everyone around. Watch that you don't sound a bit arrogant and intolerant if you get too involved in pet causes. Beneficial colors are obsidian and deep green. Lucky numbers are 74 and 15.
 
You are tempted to eat and drink more than usual, as your willpower is low at the moment. You feel more intense with regard to social contacts as well as romance or sexual encounters, especially from the standpoint of the psychological motivations and behavior patterns involved. This can be a productive moment to participate in group therapy. Positive colors are yellow and scarlet. Lucky numbers are 13 and 23.
 
This is not a day for routine chores, boring people, or anything that requires much self-discipline. People will be amused to be around you (as always!) so there's no doubt about your popularity. However, you must watch a tendency to be over-optimistic. Take care that you don't let your enthusiasm carry you off into unrealistic financial schemes. Fortunate colors are strawberry and parchment. Lucky numbers are 13 and 15.
 
It's best to smooth over problems rather than face up to difficulties, as the cosmos is not exactly friendly today. Take the diplomatic route, rather than stamping your hoof and throwing a tantrum. Your creative talents definitely need to be given an outlet. Listen to your intuition and then make your inner visions live out in the world. Be brave. Advantageous colors are almond and cranberry. Lucky numbers are 16 and 23.
 
There are moments when you feel at peace with the world and want to share your feelings with everyone around you. Smoothing rough edges is becoming quite a talent with you now. Your ability to observe, and your easy way with words makes you sought after and brings respect. Despite an edgy atmosphere, you can put them right with a happy smile. Beneficial colors are carmine and amber. Lucky numbers are 75 and 13.
 
Gosh! You spend it as fast as you make it, don't you! But ain't that fun..? Your reputation is important to you and you want to be respected and admired, though you might need to keep a little humility handy now and then. Everyone can see that you are straightforward and trustworthy in your intentions, but a little caution will bring even more success your way. Favorable colors are scarlet and hyacinth. Lucky numbers are 11 and 64.
 
Put your feet up, Virgo. A new love relationship is on the horizon, or perhaps your long-term relationships are feeling better. This is definitely a great time for your personal confidence. You come across as enthusiastic, idealistic and honest, even though retro Mars is still out of sorts in your sign. Favorable colors are egg yolk and whalebone. Lucky numbers are 15 and 47.
 
The energizing effect of today's aspects can make you more aggressive toward others and lose patience when things become too hectic, or don't proceed as planned. You are concerned with just what is or is not making you happy. Go after what you want, or get rid of what you don't want. Profitable colors are honeysuckle and pink champagne. Lucky numbers are 9 and 12.
 
It's a good day to be out with friends on the party trail, Aquarius. With the Moon in your sign, you are inclined to avoid difficulties and generally head for the easy options, but the end result will be a pleasure. You should be attracting money more easily than usual through joint ventures. Even the bank manager seems to like you, though you ought not take other people's generosity for granted. Fortunate colors are blush and chrysoprase. Lucky numbers are 53 and 49.
 
Your wits are sharp and some interesting news could come from a surprising source. If anyone is low or crabby, you'll cheer them up in an instant. Friendships are under pressure with Mercury riding in reverse, but your talent for organizing an easy atmosphere at home helps everyone close to you. Appropriate colors are periwinkle and lime. Lucky numbers are 9 and 64.
 
This is not a day to attempt anything too serious or routine. You should be able to settle old differences amicably and also look clearly at your relationships. Those which have outlived their time and have no room for further growth can be quietly dropped. New and better friendships or romances will arrive to take their place. Composed colors are auburn and celadon. Lucky numbers are 16 and 73.
 
The cosmos inclines to the flashy and frivolous, so control the urge for spending on non-essential items. In three days' time you may wonder why you bought them! You should be feeling healthier now, and able to sort out ailments faster than usual. But your tendency to expansiveness won't be keeping you slim. Overindulgences are a real danger and diets will slide for lack of willpower. Effective colors are amber and violet. Lucky numbers are 59 and 31.
 
This is the time of year to lay down some long-term plans. Work out what will suit you and get cracking. Once you have got yourself together, you can concentrate on close relationships. Work mates could get edgy if you are too tactless. Watch a tendency at the moment to run or drive too fast, which makes you a little accident prone. Your tendency to blame others for getting in your way may not go down too well. Inventive colors are aquamarine and black pepper. Lucky numbers are 29 and 38.
 
You have a chance to work out how to improve your surroundings. We all want a beautiful home with an atmosphere of elegance and comfort. Put some energy into health, diet and boosting your stamina. Throw yourself energetically into getting organized, and getting things right. Fortunate colors are fire engine red and golden hessonite. Lucky numbers are 5 and 33.
 
You are in your element in group efforts, keen to see that everyone pulls in the same direction. However, since you will be fiery, headstrong and not always sensible, stopping to think first would be wise. Don't rush in where angels fear to tread. Your boredom threshold is low so it's hard to keep focused. Organize some practical types to tidy up behind you and keep your initial impetus running. Confident colors are black onyx and sage. Lucky numbers are 13 and 68.
 
The key thing for Aquarius at this time is to learn the lessons of handling cash successfully. Are you flashing it around in an extravagant fashion, just to boost your self-esteem? Even though you want to impress everyone around you, remember to save for future security as well. You feel a strong need to put your energy wholeheartedly into the family or relationship areas of your life. Favorable colors are amethyst and umber. Lucky numbers are 78 and 39.
 
Although you may be feeling more vulnerable than usual, there is support there if you look. Ask for what you need, but be prepared to compromise as well. Find reliable, energetic types on whom you can lean. As usual, you head straight to the heart of the matter and can be candid to the point of bluntness. Your direct, at times brutal, honesty can be unnerving to more thin-skinned companions. Don't try to force others into accepting your viewpoint. Persuasive colors are almond and avocado. Lucky numbers are 75 and 24.
 
You are feeling more strong, sensual and determined, Leo. You will not readily divulge what you are thinking, feeling or planning to any but your most intimate partners. All that dynamic energy is channeled into your career, so you can plan to achieve your ambitions. Because of this focus, you may find it very difficult to understand people who lack your drive. Just remember that everyone is different. Beneficial colors are dark slate and pink salmon. Lucky numbers are 46 and 38.
 
It's hard to settle down to routine chores or follow orders easily. Let your exuberant feelings out on display. Expect some heated encounters along the way since you tend to attract competitive or ambitious types. Even your nearest and dearest will seem rather outspoken at times, so you may have to broker the peace. Enjoyable colors are burgundy and brass. Lucky numbers are 13 and 71.
 
What you secretly yearn for is to be applauded, dear Gemini. This is the peak time of the year for you where career or community activities are concerned. Suitable recognition is there as you strive to put your talents on display, so be sure to take that decisive step which would win the argument. Even so, you seem happy enough to hand over the credit to others. Auspicious colors are avocado and hyacinth. Lucky numbers are 41 and 58.
 
Letters and phone calls keep you on your toes, and a good many short distance trips keep boredom well at bay. Skimming the surface and cutting corners? There's not much time to focus on details. Romantically upfront, you head for what you want, so don't be shy about stating your fancy. You may be a little accident prone since you're more reckless than usual as you look for adventure. Auspicious colors are hazelnut and wattle. Lucky numbers are 4 and 8.
 
Treat your body as a machine that needs the right treatment -- good fuel and maintenance stops along the way. You need to be fit to deal with the chores that are piling up in front of you. You won't take your love life lightly, but if you try to be in control all the time, you'll just end up in arguments. Fortunate colors are madder lake and tourmaline. Lucky numbers are 23 and 20.
 
Loftier topics are in the air, more than usual. Your wide-ranging mind is attracted to fascinating new ideas. Get out and push your pet causes to all and sundry. Focus on friendships and long term planning. Put your dynamic energy into making sure that everyone is pulling in the same direction, at work and in your leisure activities. Harmonious colors are lilac and grey. Lucky numbers are 70 and 44.
 
You may feel happier in your own company than usual, but can be a touch overwhelmed by too many sheep in your paddock. So give yourself space, Rams. With a good deal on your mind you need a chance to ponder. You may be more stubborn than usual and slow to make decisions, but control Irritable reactions. Your patience will give you the strength to push for what you want for the long term. Propitious colors are burnished bronze and sky blue. Lucky numbers are 7 and 14.
 
In really significant tasks you crack along, though it's not necessarily easy to communicate with other people. Are you putting yourself across too cautiously? Kindness comes more easily to you than anger, so avoid confrontations wherever possible. Be more sympathetic, a good shoulder to cry on for friends in need. Appropriate colors are chrysoberyl and pale amber. Lucky numbers are 69 and 12.
 
This is a day to focus in on the small things. Try to see things exactly as they are, which is never as much fun as looking on the bright side but might prove to be more useful. If you are on your own, it's only a temporary, passing phase. No one will shout you down if you use your determination. Auspicious colors are caramel and green. Lucky numbers are 73 and 41.
 
If your self-esteem is not that great at the moment, don't judge yourself by other people's standards. Not everyone fits in with your point of view, but this doesn't mean you're necessarily wrong. Give yourself a pat on the back for what you have accomplished recently. Your curiosity is stirred, so learn more about things that interest you. Favorable colors are viridian and cream. Lucky numbers are 7 and 4.
 
It seems you would rather speak than listen, Rams, but what you say may not be too subtle. Your plus side is you have no devious streak, and can be relied on for straight answers to direct questions. Take the time to sort out the muddle. Be kind not critical, patient not hasty; for with patience and perseverance you'll get to the bottom of what has gone wrong. Recognize that your efforts will pay off. Stay positive. Appropriate colors are ebony and raw silk. Lucky numbers are 29 and 6.
 
Fix your eagle eye on the things that need looking at. Then you can pick up the tricky details that need to be sorted out. This is not the time to keep your head in the clouds, or amble along relying on luck to see you through. Do not promise more than you can deliver. Your intentions are good but you may be getting over-enthusiastic. Fortunate colors are banana and old rope. Lucky numbers are 8 and 15.
 
If you have been holding back from a serious discussion with workmates or close companions then it's time to think of some way of breaking the ice. There has been more criticism around than usual recently, but you could also be misconstruing something you have only half heard. Check it out before jumping to conclusions, as things might be better than you think. Once you collect your wits you will be listened to seriously. Just take your time and plan your points carefully. Auspicious colors are purple and pale pink. Lucky numbers are 3 and 45.
 
Push frivolity to one side and do the practical, solid, sensible, get-it-all-together kind of tasks. A lot of stuff can be cleared out of the way once and for all. Then you will deserve a break and can disappear off to play truant. With Mercury retro in fiery Aries you are more creative and sympathetic than usual, though not always able to put your thoughts or feelings precisely into words. Beneficial colors are pink salmon and copper. Lucky numbers are 10 and 25.
 
You do have a very critical view of life now, with Merc retro and Mars in reverse in your sign too, but your clarity may not endear you to others. If you keep pointing out to them everything that's wrong, you will end up standing by yourself. Try adding a few compliments first, if you have to be honest or critical. Your intuition is a little phased by cosmic conditions, but you should be able to ferret out secret information. Intuitive colors are bloodstone and maple syrup. Lucky numbers are 1 and 26.
 
Trivial amusements are hardly uppermost in your mind now, which is just as well. If you try to be too cheerful, you'll end up thwarted, but if you make the effort to be serious, you'll make the best of the influences. Mercury retrograde in your opposite sign makes you dither, trying to make up your mind. You need to see both sides. Ideal colors are amethyst and vermilion. Lucky numbers are 16 and 47.
 
Don't run yourself or your talents down, Archers. Try to be fair-minded, both about your own achievements and those of others. Remember that you've got a sense of humor as well as a sense of what's wrong with life. Friends will listen respectfully to what you have to say, but you need to prepare the ground in advance by softening them up. Hmmm. You'll succeed remarkably well. Appropriate colors are charcoal and warm red. Lucky numbers are 36 and 45.
 
Don't look for what's wrong around you, Scorpio. Just seeing the flaws and the inadequacies rather than the benefits is a reaction to the influences. It may not be easy to open up to other people because you fear they may be critical rather than supportive, but try all the same. You need to get a more orderly atmosphere to work in, and have had it with incompetence, chaos, and too pressured a schedule. Take time to wind down. Beneficial colors are azurite and claret ash. Lucky numbers are 66 and 63.
 
If you do feel a bit heavy, that just means you are being realistic and facing the bottom line. It could be dreary in some ways, and the planetary influences are not so good if you've got a lot of mental work to do, things that require disciplined thinking. That's because Merc has recently turned tail and this always throws you off pace. Take the time needed to make up your mind, because rushing things will generate errors. Favored colors are spearmint and hazelnut. Lucky numbers are 15 and 54.
 
Avoid boring types and those who get on your nerves, Libra. Go for interesting conversations with people who are on your wavelength. Even if you are on your own for a little while, it won't hurt because the Moon is hinting to cool down, calm down and get away from the hassle and aggravation. Don't be overwhelmed by the cares of the outside world. Prosperous colors are periwinkle and ginger. Lucky numbers are 39 and 52.
 
Sort out your priorities and decide what really is of value to you. With the Moon in your house of finance, you might be tempted to think that money is the only thing that matters. But there are other things, which hold every bit as much interest for you, and can lift your spirits when you are feeling low. There is plenty of fun and laughter to be had, so tune in and enjoy a great time. Amusing colors are lemon and claret. Lucky numbers are 64 and 16.
 
Don't let your feelings get in the way of your thinking, if you want to be clear. But it does sometimes mean you sound cool or too detached. You may feel a bit discouraged or low in self-esteem, but there's really no need for it. Don't assume that being left to your own devices is a bad thing, or a sign that you are unlovable. Treat it as a blessing in disguise, to give yourself a bit of space. Advantageous colors are pistachio and sharkskin. Lucky numbers are 74 and 8.
 
As the romantic Moon dances through your fifth house of love, you're full of creativity and your personal magnetism is high. The potential for a romantic encounter is in the air. With Mercury your life-ruler retrograde in your eighth house of life's mysteries, you feel strongly about certain situations, and so will not easily change your mind. The temptation is to take the chance and gamble on the outcome. Alluring colors are violet and brass. Lucky numbers are 15 and 56.
 
Beware of spouting opinions in all directions, or jumping onto the next point before companions have had a chance to absorb the main ideas. Point scoring or trying to have the last word may not go down too well, Aries. If you want more prominence, you need to do things that draw other people's attention to you. So do what suits the influential people at work or out in your community. That's the way to impress. Opportune colors are green and chestnut. Lucky numbers are 14 and 24.
 
Is your concentration wandering? Having to listen to feedback can be boring, especially with Merc in reverse gear, and you may say things that startle people, just to amuse yourself. However, there are points in the day when you need to get down to the nitty gritty and find long- term answers, especially to do with financial or emotional matters. What fundamental questions are you asking yourself? Beneficial colors are ivory and tan. Lucky numbers are 62 and 4.
 
Don't take other people's comments personally, fearing slights where none were intended. They are just jealous. With the restless Moon in your sign, you'll be ebbing and flowing like the tide, so hang out with mates who are protective, nurturing and perhaps a little more practical than you are right now. Calming colors are charcoal and violet. Lucky numbers are 15 and 75.
 
In your closest relationships at work and at home you may be clinging to partners and significant others more than usual. Don't get jealous and possessive if they aren't fitting in with what you want. Just move over and get in step with them. Relationships always require compromises, and if you can keep your nearest contented they are more likely to respond positively. All the same, you have a real feel for what others need. Fortunate colors are ebony and lavender. Lucky numbers are 21 and 49.
 
Your concentration is good once you settle down to it, Pisces. Digging in your heels is all very well, but get the right kind of emotional contact with friends and others, partly for affectionate support, partly because you want to bounce ideas off them for the future. This is your time to set the agenda, and whoever is around can help you sort out your options. Beneficial colors are rye bread and marigold. Lucky numbers are 48 and 6.
 
Pesky details are a distraction now, since you want to see the broad picture, dear Leo. Just watch you are not being impractical or unrealistic, especially at work. People demand a lot of you and you have to go out of your way to make sure everyone is well looked after. If you feel emotionally pressured because of that, take time out to enjoy something for yourself now and again. Appropriate colors are sienna and cranberry. Lucky numbers are 37 and 41.
 
Your helpful suggestions go down well now -- but don't step on other people's corns if you have to point out any flaws. Try a little charm and a few compliments before you wade in to criticize. The temptation is for words to spill out all over the place, so other people may get a bit avalanched. Once in a while you have to stand back and come to a few conclusions before you leap back into the fray. Fortunate colors are amber and barley bread. Lucky numbers are 12 and 20.
 
As your mind wanders restlessly, you should not be too susceptible to persuasion. Picking up subtle clues from others, acting like a sponge, or soaking in the atmosphere, may be fun but can make you biased without realizing it. If you are stuck in the one place, go talk to more adventurous types, or find some stretching book to read. It's hard to get into suitably practical routines. Stabilizing colors are pineapple and moonstone. Lucky numbers are 34 and 25.
 
With the Moon in your opposite sign, look to your other half in whatever you are doing, at home or at work. It is very much a togetherness kind of feeling, but also a bit insecure. I suppose you should give in for the sake of peace, quiet and support. Be kind and compassionate to those who are in need, even if those close find you evasive, uncertain and unrealistic. Compassionate colors are rye bread and tangerine. Lucky numbers are 72 and 69.
 
Reassuring companions give a little more help and support than usual and are an anchor for you. Avoid overreacting, as Mars aspecting dark Pluto has a habit of magnifying small situations and turning them into dramas. If you are too secretive, or let loved ones feel shut out, they will not respond well. Beneficial colors are cinnabar and peppermint. Lucky numbers are 48 and 33.
 
Companions are preoccupied, which might make you feel a little excluded. If they're tied up in what they're doing, you need to slip into your own space to think things through. One way is what you ought to do, the other is what you want to do. Following your whims will give you a guilty conscience, but being dutiful will make you feel under- nurtured. Gosh. Avoid trying to go in two opposite directions at once. Composed colors are rhodium and raw sugar. Lucky numbers are 10 and 14.
 
The adventurous Moon awakens your house of personal finances, so do not become too attached to the good things. This can make you a touch possessive, so you need to seem more laid-back than you feel. If you cannot quite make up your mind what you want, or what your commitments should be, it's only a passing blip, so step back briefly until you feel clear again. Advantageous colors are quicksilver and burnished copper. Lucky numbers are 10 and 36.
 
The more the merrier today, Aquarius. Group action provides plenty of support and quite a few helpful hints. A rebellious attitude towards family and close partners will unsettle the normally cooperative atmosphere, so fly solo when you can. If you are very restless, it may be for good reason, so find an outlet for your original ideas. Beneficial colors are lapis lazuli and strawberry. Lucky numbers are 32 and 37.
 
If you are over-emotional about certain things, perhaps you are too close to what you're talking about. Your heart is certainly in the right place, but your brain may be in the wrong gear. Slow down and pause for thought. You are likely to over-indulge and expand, but you will still find time to mull over old memories. Positive colors are tangerine and sable. Lucky numbers are 27 and 48.
 
The urge comes upon you to dodge the ruts and routines, tedious chores, boring people and fly a little bit higher. It's time to to broaden your horizons, however you can. Travel would suit you best but there are other ways to keep your interest engaged. Events at home will keep you on your toes and rather edgy. Adventurous colors are wild rose and parchment. Lucky numbers are 9 and 32.
 
Your emotions are tied up with your working situation, and indeed with your health for a couple of days. If you're feeling jittery, watch that your body doesn't sag a bit. Make sure you're putting energy into eating well, resting, relaxing, exercising, doing all of those kinds of things. Use the energy to sort out some outstanding domestic issues. Beneficial colors are azure and snow white. Lucky numbers are 5 and 32.
 
You need to get away from the outside world, so why not take time out for a bit of peace and quiet? Self-protective and sensitive, you might be feeling highly strung, or just rather rebellious. This is a time to strike out on your own and do all those jobs only you can do. Beneficial colors are buttercup and aubergine. Lucky numbers are 25 and 30.
 
Feeling secretive? Playing your cards close to your chest is best, dear Taurus. Not even your closest friends know what's going on inside. It's emotionally more intense than usual, so don't magnify certain situations or comments into something bigger than they are. Wanting everything to be totally wonderful could set you up for a minor letdown, but overall, life is behaving rather positively. Positive colors are cranberry and lavender. Lucky numbers are 48 and 11.
 
There's a spontaneous mood in the air, so let it all hang out and step into the spotlight. The venturesome Moon is dancing in your house of light-hearted romance, children and entertainment, so you will be seeking center-stage. Are you in two minds about almost everything? Get clear on whether to follow your head or your heart. Auspicious colors are chestnut and rose. Lucky numbers are 14 and 22.
 
The ambitious Moon on your mid-heaven focuses your mind on work, status and reputation. It's a goo day to be out in the community, getting noticed. It's important to you that others appreciate and admire what you're doing, but that means you have to go out of your way to please them. It is only a passing phase, but you could be rather too intense, or feeling blocked and stuck. Lighten up, brighten up and keep your sense of humor handy. Advantageous colors are teal and red coral. Lucky numbers are 16 and 29.
 
Intense encounters are in the air, Leo. They may not be actual confrontations in the sense of a flare-up, but no one seems willing to co-operate as much as you had hoped. Achievements may be slow in coming, so don't expect instant results. Don't pull your punches, follow your hunches. Fortunate colors are indigo and green peridot. Lucky numbers are 37 and 20.
 
Flaws and inadequacies in one relationship are beginning to show up. Are you taking too bleak a view of one situation or person? Lighten up a little. If you say too much when you are feeling critical, it will be more difficult to get back onto an even keel in the days ahead. Try acting the diplomat, it's your starring role, Libra! Your harmonious way of expressing yourself and desire to keep the peace will do wonders for your popularity. Advantageous colors are deep ivy and pastel shades. Lucky numbers are 21 and 42.
 
Cut your losses and clear out what needs to be got rid of. Your life is moving in a healthy and positive direction. You will emerge as a stronger personality from your present stressful experiences. Try to resolve any resentments you have with partners. Watch you are not getting too close to subjects to see them clearly. Advantageous colors are crimson and brass. Lucky numbers are 59 and 41.
 
If you dig down into the depths of every situation that can make you see only the difficult side of life, remember there's also a bright side. Don't lose your sense of humor even if you are tackling rather serious matters. You have a sharp, fast moving mind now, but try to write things down since you can be absent-minded, forgetting your brilliant inspirations as soon as you have them. Advantageous colors are sable and yellow ochre. Lucky numbers are 77 and 10.
 
There are benefits in standing your ground. The evidence may not come through for a few days, but you will be glad you rose to the challenge and didn't lose your cool. It may not feel very good just now, but the better things in life always cost a little in terms of effort. Do not focus unduly on differences others regard as too trivial to bother about; you will spot what they overlook. Bold colors are parchment and bright red. Lucky numbers are 50 and 73.
 
Don't give in to sulks or broody silences at home or at work. The silent treatment can be very effective but only if you allow it to continue. Bring grievances out into the open as diplomatically as you can. Then you will find everyone suddenly starts to look more upbeat again. Make it your business to know everything about everybody, since you need to have all the facts at your disposal. Advantageous colors are sassafras and amethyst. Lucky numbers are 13 and 69.
 
If you are forced to examine certain situations in great depth, you will gain in wisdom. Out of your experiences other people will also learn first-hand about how to cope better. You need sensible reasons for doing everything with Merc in reverse, but don't get irritated by workmates who are prone to flights of fancy. Let a little of your own creative imagination get to work. Favorable colors are neon and sage. Lucky numbers are 25 and 52.
