HOROSCOPES
12
AQUARIUS JANUARY 21 TO FEBRUARY 19
It’s full moon time and therefore your emotional responses are going to be intensified. If strong feelings arise, use them to clear the air rather than muddy the waters. Once you know where you stand, you can then act decisively and move forward in the direction that you have mapped out for yourself.
PISCES FEBRUARY 20 TO MARCH 20
VIRGO AUGUST 24 TO SEPTEMBER 23
You need to be prepared for hidden costs and expenditures as the full moon is shining in the financial sector of your chart. Therefore, avoid being impetuous or impulsive. Someone is making ‘all the right noises’ but something tells you not to trust them completely. Perhaps you have reason to doubt so be extremely circumspect.

This is a time of major endings and beginnings and everything is pointing to how you conduct yourself in your relationships. Misunderstandings threaten to undermine how secure you are feeling, but these can be avoided if you take the time out to explain yourself. If battling with someone over finances, don’t use any under-handed tactics.
LIBRA SEPTEMBER 24 TO OCTOBER 23
The full moon’s spotlight is accentuating the state of play between you and those closest to you. Think carefully during the next few weeks about the relationships in your life. Are they fulfilling and satisfying or are some of them sadly lacking, making you wonder if they’re worth the effort? Your only solution may be to bring things to a head and clear the air.
Heaven help anybody who crosses you in the next couple of weeks as they will get more than they bargained for. The best cure is prevention, so next time you can feel yourself getting wound up, find some physical outlet to help diffuse the stress. It’s also helpful to recognise the triggers that set you off so that you can train yourself not to react to them in the same way.
TAURUS APRIL 21 TO MAY 21
SCORPIO OCTOBER 24 TO NOVEMBER 22
Something from your past is being stirred up which is making you feel vaguely uneasy. Instead of sweeping these feelings back under the carpet do your best to bring them to the surface and then resolve them once and for all. If you need help you could always talk to someone who inspires total trust and confidence.
Take things easy in the next couple of weeks as your emotions and anxieties may get the better of you. The full moon in Aries temporarily deprives you of some of your enthusiasm and energy, so this is a time when you should ideally pace yourself. Focus on what is most important and leave everything else on the back-burner.
GEMINI MAY 22 TO JUNE 21
SAGITTARIUS NOVEMBER 23 TO DECEMBER 21
Problems are likely regarding friendships over the next few weeks and one casual friendship could come to an end. It is also possible that other friends will be going through a lot of difficulties and shall require your understanding and TLC. Social plans are going to go upside down and you would be wise to double check arrangements.
Problems are likely in regards to either your romantic life or to do with your children. If you’re a parent, one of your offspring is going to need some extra attention either because they are not well or because they are being bullied at school. You will have to be very careful of what you say as somebody is going to take offence.
CANCER JUNE 22 TO JULY 22
CAPRICORN DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 20
The full moon falls in the area of your chart devoted to career and indicates that it really is time to take the bit between your teeth and mount a major offensive to improve the way you live, work and support yourself. Even though certain colleagues or co-workers can be difficult to deal with you are in a position to call the shots.

LEO JULY 23 TO AUGUST 23
You may be feeling somewhat frustrated because you haven’t progressed as far as you would like, but there’s no need to despair, because through patience your hard work will bring unexpected benefits. Don’t be afraid to confront a certain issue by sharing it with a sympathetic ear – you’ll feel as though you’ve unburdened yourself.

Problems are likely in your home environment and you would be wise not to get embroiled in any kind of power struggles as it will invariably end in tears. ‘It takes two to tango’ and whilst you don’t like to be dominated you need to be careful of laying down the law or you may be guilty of domineering others.

I've found the 'new black' of the season KATHERINE TWEED katherine.tweed@ innercityweekender. com.au
It’s bright, it’s feisty and it is so in season; citrus is the season’s new black. That’s right I am talking about the vibrant tangerines, zesty lemons and in-your-face limes that women everywhere are soon to be wearing through this season and into the next. Why the sudden outburst of the bright citrus colours? I have no idea but it sure is refreshing after the dark tones and deep colours that we were wearing all winter. Unlike the neon colours that citrus is so often confused with, although this season’s colours are bright, they are much softer to the eye. Citrus colours are not everyone’s best friend as they can clash with particular skin and hair tones but with the right styling, citrus can fit into anyone’s wardrobe. Nude tones go hand-in-hand with citrus clothing, especially when worn with tangerine. A pair of nude heels with a hot orange dress and a nude bag will look great for a night out but if you want to keep it casual, stick to the flats. If you want a more sophisticated look, team a lemon or lime dress with bold, black accessories and for a fresh, crisp look, maybe for an event by the sea, wear white accessories. In short, the basic colours, nude, black, white and sometimes brown are the best colours to match with a citrus outfit. Making the change from your usual go-to colours to the bright and stand-out citrus colours can be a little daunting so why not try starting small. Not only are the stores full of citrus coloured clothing, they are full of the bright coloured accessories as well so it is easy to begin incorporating tangerine or lemon into your daily wear. In saying this, don’t overkill it with the accessories; citrus nail polish is a definite YES but don’t even think about citrus lipstick, eye shadow or liner.
