This week, you get an opportunity to generate more wealth. Want to increase your earnings? All you have to do is accept what’s on offer and follow any lead that looks promising. There’s a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, so get motivated. The Universe is willing to meet you more than halfway along the road to greater financial freedom.

Due to Saturday’s eclipse, Bulls signing up for a study program or educational course are thrown a cosmic curveball. Dodge obstacles by being open to change and remaining flexible. Others receive an exciting piece of news via email, letter or word-of-mouth. Although the information comes as an unexpected surprise, the timing is spot on.

Your usual vivacious demeanour is subdued this week, as the eclipse demands a sobering look at your financial health. In fact, a careful comb-through of your incomings and outgoings is long over-due. Take the time to examine your cash flow. It isn't necessary to make a drastic cutback. Instead, consolidate and improve on what you're already doing.

Saturday’s eclipse is in your sign, Cancer. As the light of the Moon is partially concealed, information can be withheld. Someone may be keeping something from you. Now is not the time to dig for the truth, but rather to wait it out. Remember that silence is golden. When the cosmic dust settles, all will be revealed.

This week’s eclipse grants you protection. As if a guardian angel is watching over you, you're divinely directed. Still, follow your gut feels rather than ruminating over a problem. Your intuition won’t steer you off course, but your head might. Noticing strange signs or symbols lately? They’re no coincidence and are meant to guide you. Pay attention!

On Saturday, the Sun lights up Mercury, your planetary ruler. Although you’re fixed on an idea that you believe is foolproof, you’re advised to stay on your toes. Things may not go to plan, as the eclipse intends to mess things up. While frustrating at first, trust that the end result is ultimately in your favour. You’ll soon realise that the Universe had your back all along.

An insensitive comment or verbal slip-up may come back to bite you in the bum! Try to explain yourself. Saturday is your best bet for clear communication, thanks to the Sun’s kiss with Mercury. Humour helps to ease the tension. If the other person is intent on holding a grudge, they’re not really worth the effort. You’re only human, Libra.

You can achieve remarkable things in your financial affairs this week. There’s considerable room for growth and expansion, provided you’re prepared to donate your blood, sweat and a tear or two. Hey, you didn’t expect your prizes to fall into your lap, did you? Nevertheless, you’ll want to work the extra hours once you get a whiff of your prize.

Thanks to motivated Mars, you can move mountains now. Just make sure you use your powers for good and not evil. Make a firm decision on what you want to conquer and don’t get pulled into self-destructive activities. You can do amazing things now, especially in terms of your health and relationships.

Saturday's eclipse highlights relationships; placing a firm focus on your partner, their role in your life and the extent to which they meet your needs. If your communication needs work, speak up! But approach the conversation with sensitivity and minus the judgement. Single Goats find that a new love interest is not who they first seemed to be.

Your subconscious zone is heavily activated this week. What are your dreams telling you? Look, listen and learn from any messages that seem heaven-sent. Deep down, you already know the path you must take. Yet, you’ve doubted your instincts. Trust your feels. Step boldly forward into 2020, and you won’t look back.

Someone tells you a little white lie when Mercury aligns with foggy Neptune. Being the highly intuitive Fish you are, the indiscretion won’t go unnoticed for long. You will uncover the truth, leaving this person red-faced. Be gracious in your reaction. While lying is never ideal, this time, the purpose of the fib was to hide embarrassment.
