I had to draw up your full chart, just to check if you were a Sagittarian or a Capricorn. What a dramatic horoscope! This, I bet, is not the first time you've turned your life upside down, nor will it be the last. But you'll fall on your feet. Sagittarians like you always do. May 18th 2001

You've got a lot of guts energy and initiative with Mars in the ascendant of your birth chart but you're also likely to be impatient.

Rest assured, whenever positive changes and choices are made, there are results. After-effects will already be in the making but you'll need to wait for the tide to come to shore. You've recently endured a Saturn transit, which often slows things down and puts up obstacles but never without meaning.

It won't be easy to see right now but in a couple of years you will be able to reflect on this period and make sense of it. It's likely to be connected to partnerships but for now, you've got every reason to look forward to a period of personal advancement.

Early September brings fulfilment. Opportunities then will be worth the wait. Mars, your planetary ruler in both your birth and horary charts, is with the Sun (signifying career), advancement, leadership and attainment. May 18th 2001

With Jupiter, planet of good fortune in your career area, you should never worry about work. By August 18, you may have opportunities for travel and possibly work in education, as your chart clearly shows a natural talent for teaching. Your recent relationship lessons are over, but watch out for issues arising over shared property or finances. May 18th 2001

They are improving slowly, already. They'll get gradually better all year. But I challenge your use of the word 'worst'. When you realise what events in the last few months have taught you and helped you to change, you'll be glad of them forever. May 18th 2001

Your horary chart picks up important points from your birth chart. Mars signifies you and is in the last degree of Sagittarius, reflecting your words about being at the end of your tether. Mars is now retrograde, appearing to move backwards � a sign that you may have to back up a bit and make good of some of your past actions.

Financial houses are emphasised, indicating that your problem is likely to do with money and borrowed resources. There is a possibility of a move or some upheaval before things start to get back on track. You need to separate your emotional attachment to the matter and then press ahead. Think of it as a cluttered room that needs sorting out.

By July 20, you'll be able to look forward once again and by mid-September, Mars will be strongly placed, Jupiter, planet of abundance and expansion, will transit your Sun, Venus and Uranus, so you should not only have re-gained your strength, you've got a great opportunity that will set you up for some time but you must make an effort too.

Don't give up. May 18th 2001

Cancerians have been affected by a series of eclipses happening since last July, which will have left your feelings very raw.

Eclipses bring about major change, but the Solar eclipse on June 21 represents a time when you can start to look forward again. On July 13, protective Jupiter also goes into Cancer, so think big and it won't be long before your feelings and fortunes take a huge lift. May 18th 2001
