Here's Jeff's predictions for gay men for the weekend and week beginning Saturday 19 August 2017: Mercury retrograde isn't the terror it's usually made out to be, but this week he conjoins Mars in opposition to Uranus, so all hell will break loose. At best it will take on the feel of a screwball comedy. As long as you can keep laughing, it's OK! Every week OutUK astrologer Jeff Turner forecasts your week ahead in the stars. |
 | LEO July 23 - August 23 Your natural enthusiasm easily spills over and could make a huge mess. Everyone knows how fabulous you are; practice modesty. Focus gently on the other person and you will be all the more appreciated. Your lucky day is Sunday. |
 | VIRGO August 24 - September 23 You can worry yourself sick as fast as a Maserati goes from 0 to 60. Lots to do, yeah, but haste makes waste, tortoise and hare... You know what to do, and how to do it. But you can't get it all done; nobody can. Just keep cool, be careful, and double-check everything. Your lucky day is Tuesday. |
 | LIBRA September 24 - October 23 You're the absolute Princess of Social Graces, but remember what happened to Princess Grace! Unintentionally rude outbursts among friends are inevitable. Good humour, apologies, and Beano should be always at the ready. Your lucky day is Wednesday. |
 | SCORPIO October 24 - November 22 Your clever mind will get you considerable notice - or notoriety. Go slow and easy (your forte!) and be flexible (well, work on it). Getting clever with the boss could cause you to spend a surprising amount of time at home. Your lucky day is Monday. |
 | SAGITTARIUS November 23 - December 21 Your motor-mouth should shut down for repairs before it does some serious damage. That need to engage dangerous notions goes both ways. Focus on engaging your busy brain quietly with new ideas. Your lucky day is Friday. |
 | CAPRICORN December 22 - January 20 Don't be cheap with the lube and latex! And be careful whom you invite home. Being overly critical can dampen your sex life, but that may save you from disaster. At least give your brain a head start over your pushy gonads. Your lucky day is Sunday. |
 | AQUARIUS January 21 - February 18 Arguments with your partner (or whoever's handy) reflect secret insecurity and eventually feed back into it. The phrase "vicious circle" comes to mind. Give him, and yourself, a break! Your lucky day is Tuesday. |
 | PISCES February 19 - March 20 You're accident prone now more than ever, so spend extra time at your prayer and meditations or sitting quietly and safely at the movies. You still need to exercise and burn off energy, but be very, very careful! Your lucky day is Thursday. |
 | ARIES March 21 - April 20 Social mishaps turn the dullest party into an unforgettable experience; so do fires and earthquakes. Creative humour can save the day, or just crank up the disaster quotient to Lucy Ricardo levels. Your lucky day is Saturday. |
 | TAURUS April 21 - May 21 Some changes are necessary at home, but this is the time to get excruciatingly clear about what needs changing. Solving and resolving the mess should wait. Precipitous actions at home now would explode into public life. Your lucky day is Tuesday. |
 | GEMINI May 22 - June 21 Your mind and tongue are all over the place, causing more trouble than usual. Think carefully before opening your mouth; be prepared to apologise. Distract yourself from danger by exploring new ideas or reading about far-off places. Your lucky day is Sunday. |
 | CANCER June 22 - July 22 Financial pressures are largely imagined - but perhaps not entirely. New and radical steps, tempting as they may be, can only lead to disaster. This is the time for dramatic insights that will lead to solutions later. Sit tight and think! Your lucky day is Friday. |
| LEO July 23 - August 23 Your natural enthusiasm easily spills over and could make a huge mess. Everyone knows how fabulous you are; practice modesty. Focus gently on the other person and you will be all the more appreciated. Your lucky day is Sunday. |
