(March 21-April 19)

Active, energetic, determined
Ruled by: Fire

You need: Energy and patience with others. As you’re naturally enthusiastic and headstrong, you live life to the fullest, but can burn out if you work and play too hard. You may not suffer fools gladly, and in group situations, find it difficult to accommodate those who do not share you views.

Switchword to bring energy:
MOVE

Switchwords for patience:
POSTPONE and SLOW

(July 23-August 22)

Brave, loyal, wilful, extravagant
Ruled by: Fire

You need: To lead others with integrity – while reigning in your iron will so you don’t over-dominate. If you’re an extrovert Leo, you crave public acknowledgement; the more introvert among you quietly get on with your plans for world domination. You all love to look good – which means spending money on clothes, cars and accessories.

Switchword to boost natural leadership qualities:
TAKE
Switchword to help you curb spending (or ego):
CUT and BOW

(November 22-December 21)

Curious, independent, determined
Ruled by: Fire

You need: To make your plans workable by getting down to the boring stuff: the detail. Enchanted by your grand schemes, you’re an inspiration – but at times, you may struggle to see a project through to the end. As a fiercely independent soul, you naturally reject asking for too much help, but others can lend you the skills you lack – so your dreams become a reality.

Switchword to help you pay attention to detail:
ATTENTION
Switchword to get others on board with your plans:
TAP

(April 20-May 20)

Sensual, practical, luxury-loving

Ruled by: Earth

You need: Stability and flexibility. Steady, loyal relationships and financial stability are essentials for you. If you have to struggle with money, or find yourself alone, you can adopt negative attitudes that make it hard for you to attract the people and work that will meet your financial and emotional needs.

Switchword for financial stability:
COUNT

Switchword to help you be more flexible in outlook:
TURN

(August 23-September 22)

Caring, detail-orientated, conscientious, patient
Ruled by: Earth

You need: To allow yourself creative space and take a step back from the detail from time to time. As a perfectionist, the minutiae of life can absorb you, and as a natural carer, who listens carefully to others’ needs, you can forget to give yourself free reign to play and let your renowned sense of humour out of the box.

Switchwords to boost your creativity:
REACH and CROWN
Switchword to help you see the big picture:
AROUND

(December 22-January 19)

Resilient, reliable, ambitious
Ruled by: Earth

You need: To read the subtle signals in relationships. As the power-house of the zodiac, you’re used to hitting your goals through sheer hard work, but your determination can make you appear insensitive and lacking in imagination. Let those you know into your inner world, and they’ll soon see that you have a soft centre after all.

Switchword to encourage calm and friendly openness:
SWEET and WITH
Switchword for resilience:
CONTINUE

(May 21-June 20)

Communicative, open, adaptable
Ruled by: Air

You need: To listen and talk in equal measure, and never to be bored! You love having a variety of projects on the go, along with a raft of friends to entertain. Sometimes, in your enthusiasm, you can over-talk and forget to listen, and forget that you can motivate yourself without the need for others’ praise.

Switchword to help you listen as well as talk:
ACT

Switchword to banish boredom and get motivated:
ON

(September 23-October 22)

Adaptable, diplomatic, peace-loving
Ruled by: Air

You need: To beat procrastination when it strikes, and to strive for balance in your many activities. Libras love peace and hate conflict, and if a decision threatens to cause just that, you’ll avoid, avoid… and avoid again. However, tortuous process of making up your mind zaps your time and energy.

Switchwords to help you make decisions:
DO and NOW
Switchword to help you find life-work balance:
DIVINE ORDER

(January 20-February 18)

Humanitarian, generous, sociable, inventive
Ruled by: Air

You need: To be heard and acknowledged within a group. Fairness and justice in the world are vital to you, and you will speak out to defend your values. Also, you must have enough quality time alone; generous to a fault, you give your time and energy freely so need time for personal reflection to re-charge.

Switchword to find quiet time for reflection:
ROOM–ME
Switchword to be treated fairly:
RESTORE
