This month’s sun sign

TAURUS
APRIL 21 - MAY 20

In your business and workday life, you often tend to take the view that more is better – but the course of recent events has caused you to undertake a deep and searching re-evaluation of your key business values. Possible tension between your home life and your work is forcing you to cut back in various sectors, and to question how your resources of time and energy are truly best spent. You have also become keenly aware of your own limitations. In addition, events on and around the full moon on May 13 will show you all too clearly that one particular association has most emphati-cally run its course. But you can comfort yourself with the knowledge that the changes now taking place are most definitely all for the best.


GEMINI
may 21 - june 21
This month you could be feeling slightly under par, and your best course of action is simply to go with the flow. Take time out to review your recent progress and check out your competitors. You will be ready to make a whole new start on or around May 27.

CANCER
JUNE 22 - juLY 23
Your solar chart suggests that you are now ready to implement the changes that you have been planning for some time, especially where these involve Internet-based sales and marketing. You may start seeing positive results on or around May 14.

LEO
juLY 24 - AUGUST 23
With Saturn, the planet of consolidation, still dominating your work life in May, progress towards your business goals could feel frustratingly slow. But taking things slowly gives you more time for research – and may well lead to more satisfying results in the end.

VIRGO
august 24 - september 23
Your solar chart suggests that your primary business focus this month lies in reviewing your business activities overseas. Unanti-cipated changes abroad may call for a whole new strategy. You will be ready to implement this on or around May 27.

LIBRA
september 24 - october 23
Work colleagues could prove unusually helpful this month, so be sure to take heed of their counsel and advice. With Jupiter still ruling your financial strategy and cash flow, new opportunities will come your way this month.

SCORPIO
october 24 - November 23
Since Jupiter entered your sign last October, many changes have ensued in your working life, many of which you did not expect. You will do best if you view any challenge to let go as one of simply making way for a whole new order at work.

SAGITTARIUS
NOVEMBER 24 - DECEMBER 21
You are still attempting to come to terms with a changed sense of business priorities, especially where partnership affairs and joint ventures are concerned. But this becomes far easier after May 27, when exciting new possibilities will start to emerge.

CAPRICORN
DECEMBER 22 - JANUARY 20
This month, it is time for you to evaluate whether you are maximising new technology in your business and professional activities. Are there untapped areas where you and your colleagues could expand? May 1-15 is a great time to assess and tackle this challenge.

AQUARIUS
january 21 - february 19
You could be finding it quite a challenge to get the home vs work balance just right this month, and may need to reassess your priorities. Compromise works best this month, especially around May 13. You could spend more time working at home, may be.

PISCES
FEBRUARY 20- MARCH 20
Although your working life has been fraught with unexpected changes and developments just recently, you are now in a position to make real progress towards your financial goals. If you are seeking new finance or venture backing, you can go for it on May 14.

ARIES
MARCH 21- APRIL 20
Recent events have shown you changes are needed in your business style and presentation, and you are now tackling this challenge with your customary energy and zest. But don’t overdo it, especially around May 7 and 8.
