Scorpio 24 October – 22 November
You may try and reason your way out of any dilemmas, but in the end it all comes down to trusting your instincts. Whatever complications you face, there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Sagittarius 23 November – 21 December
Have last minute gifts to buy? Don't obsess over getting this right, as a potent tie suggests you'll never get anywhere. Choose the simplest options or make some yourself and go from there. Plus, an ongoing issue could move towards resolution, as a sparky tie can find you overcoming resistance and making a move. The weekend may bring you and another closer than expected.
Capricorn 22 December – 20 January
The Sun's move into your sign means you'll be in your element over this hectic week, and keen to make your mark.

The willingness to be bold and try something different could mean a creative or romantic opportunity comes to life, and you'll be excited by its potential.
Aquarius 21 January – 19 February
A positive shift may be in the air, as something you've hoped for looks likely to happen. There might be one hurdle to overcome, and to do so you'll need to push through self-imposed barriers. Go for it Aquarius, as a golden prize awaits. The weekend brings a chance to decompress and get your bearings. And Mercury's move back in Sagittarius can coincide with a blast from the past.
Pisces 20 February – 20 March
The Sun's move into your social sector lights up this zone just in time for the holidays. It's also an opportunity to kick back and enjoy the party scene, if you want to. Still, an awkward link suggests someone could be difficult, if you don't invite them along or spend time with them. Sort this issue out sooner rather than later so you can enjoy yourself and revel in the week ahead.
