Scorpio
October 23 to November 21
There's a huge happening in the heavens. Karmic Saturn settles into your sector of subconscious for the next two years. Initially, expect an overview of past and present. Soon after, you may notice that you can't steer situations as much as usual. But after you've finished blaming childhood disasters or adverse conditioning, you should arrive at your moment of truth – that you alone are responsible for your life. You also realise that lasting contentment can only come from within. And it's true – life does seem to become less of an uphill struggle when you're attuned to your own natural rhythm. The highest reward can be your emergence as
a more self-confident individual with a definite idea of what direction your personal growth must take, now and in the future.
Your designer match: Alexander McQueen. Not afraid of controversy, this look is powerful and fearlessly feminine.

Sagittarius
November 22 to December 21
Saturn's throwing its weight around the zodiac, suggesting a disciplined time ahead. But this isn't all sacrifice – what you lose in one situation you gain in another. However, you must remain patient. Stay calm in the knowledge that fulfilled obligations will bring benefits. And you don't have to do it the hard way – help is there if you need it. Romantically, you're in for some erotic treats.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 19
You're ready to make some radical moves, particularly at work. Preparation is the key, although you may not see real progress until the new year. While others in this position would be impatient, you're realistic. If November sounds less than spectacular, don't be fooled. Mid month is loaded with sparkle that blesses business, domestic and romantic realms. The great news? The promise of a love that lasts.

Aquarius
January 20 to February 18
For years, Saturn has made your life hell with its orders to wait pulsing through your mind. Still, you've weathered it well and, finally, the confusion should start to lift. Likewise, if love feels like a distant destination, expect closer contact. Take your hedonistic opportunities, but you should also ask what you want out of your relationships – specifically, whether or
not you're ready to commit.

Pisces
February 19 to March 20
With Saturn concluding its two-year stay in your sector of duty to others, the responsibilities you've had to shoulder are almost over. Work takes a back seat, making room for your love life. Some concerns still linger, but try adopting a more instinctive approach to challenging issues. By letting your intuition become a source of guidance, there's a new kind of freedom to be found. Confidence is the key.

Aries
March 21 to April 20
Saturn moves into your relationship sector. By early next year, you'll be heading in a new life direction, but now's the time to clear away emotional debris. Let common sense set the pace, and don't be hurried by others' hysteria. You have a good awareness of your own desires. This should be made clear to anyone who tries to steer you away from them. Know your strengths and work with your talents.

Taurus
April 21 to May 20
Real rewards arrive later this month, but there's plenty to accomplish in the first weeks. Just stay determined in what will be a frantic period. By the 24th, the sun and Venus declare social and professional triumph. Your sensual aura attracts new friends and lovers. One individual in particular has a powerful effect on you. A little extravagance is also likely, and you'll enjoy spending more than usual.

Gemini
May 21 to June 21
Scrap any self-doubt and reaffirm your strengths – this is your month of triumph. Now that Saturn has been rendered powerless in your house of love, you're offered carnal carte blanche. But don't let habit lock you into denial. Shake off any inhibitions and reach out for whatever and whoever you want. If you get your wrist smacked, you can always extend it elsewhere.

Cancer
June 22 to July 22
With Saturn feeling less inclined to impose restrictions on the way you communicate, you sense better times ahead. But first you must discard any numbing constraints. Over time, it can become easy to fall into a safe and familiar rut. This could be fuelled by fear of failure. So while the cosmic coast is clear, make any changes you consider necessary and secure the success you deserve.

Leo
July 23 to August 22
Mars introduces more of that spirited quality into your life, making you tenacious in a non-confronting way. But it's not all work – your sex drive is in top gear and there's plenty of time for play. For those in the mood, fresh love prospects abound. With long-time lovers, you're better able to express your feelings. Generally speaking, it's a lovely time for partnerships.

Virgo
August 23 to September 22
Establishing a routine has been difficult, and discipline a bore. You may be fretful about finances; now that Saturn is back in your money sector, it's poised to report on how you've managed funds. You'd be wise to nurture nest eggs and rein in the plastic. Professionally, you're more open to new opportunities. But if you want to get something done, do it yourself. It's not a time to rely on others.

Libra
September 23 to October 22
Saturn enters your sector of responsibility, with no intention of straying for two years. You'll need to adjust to having a disciplinarian breathing down your neck. Expect something of an overhaul when it comes to self-image. This might seem unwelcome – especially if you're happy with your present demeanour. The upside is you'll emerge more refined and cap-able. Celebrate the change.
