Anyone who knows a Gemini will acknowledge that aside from being playful and extroverted, you are also prone to frequently changing your mind. But thanks to more grounding celestial aspects in your sign this month, your thoughts are firmly focused on one thing this year - health and fitness. Cue the sleeveless LVXLOL peplum top from Louis Vuitton. With its sculpted silhouette, it cuts a serious dash at the gym. Whether you can decide between Pilates or Barre class, remains to be seen!

Cancerians, try not to dwell too much on the past even though we know you have a tendency to do so. Instead, cast your eyes on the future. During the first half of the year, you may receive an invitation you can’t refuse. Think art gallery openings, cocktails and other fashionable events in and around Bond Street. There is only one accessory for it. Dial-up the wow factor with Lady Dior’s patent leather bag in eye-popping cherry.

Demure, shy and bookish… Virgos, it’s time to stop hiding in the shadows and release your inner fashion goddess. Thanks to Uranus heading into your star sign this month, you’ll want to make an impact with the way you present yourself to the outside world.

While it’s not in your nature to upset anyone, the stars point to taking a new approach to ensuring your relationships remain strong. As well as rekindling an old friendship, this month may find you taking a more retrospective look at your life. We think Tiffany & Co’s newly launched Full Circle collection has your name on it! The stunning gemstones that form its circular centre - black onyx, pink opal and mother of pearl - are illuminated with a halo of brilliant diamonds. Shine on!
