It's time for the Urban Fantasy themed horoscope - Curious After Dark - once more for those of us know that ghosts, goblins and vampires are also written in the stars...  Naomi Clark, our resident astrologist - who regularly spends hours if not days in worlds filled with paranormal wonder - tells it like it is for heros and heroines who fend off that which goes bump in the night. 

	AQUARIUS There are those who believe the spirit world is always close at hand, and that the dead often have messages for the living. Pay close attention to the unseen world in the weeks ahead – someone may be trying to tell you something. Just because the message doesn't come through conventional means, doesn't mean you can't believe it!		PISCES When you've suffered a heavy emotional loss, it can be hard to believe you'll ever feel happy again. But don't despair; a little faith in the universe will take you a long way. Why not try looking for a little fairy dust to add some sparkle back? Just keep in mind how tricky those so-called Gentle Folk can be – another reminder that things aren't always what they seem!
	ARIES They say there's no rest for the wicked, but surely even the naughtiest devil needs a break sometimes? Instead of pushing yourself to the point of exhaustion, stop and get away from it all for a while. That'll free you up to get some really indulgent sinning going on...		TAURUS Sometimes you have to let things fall apart in order to start over. It's easy to let yourself panic at times like this, but remember the story of the phoenix? It may seem like you've burnt all your bridges, but beautiful things can rise from the ashes.
	GEMINI Life takes us dark places sometimes, and the way back isn't always clear. Take a tip from the fairy tales and be sure to leave yourself a trail to follow. There are some scary things out there, so don't be ashamed to ask for help if the monsters start nipping at your heels!		CANCER Remember Hamlet? The Devil hath power to assume a pleasing shape... Don't take things at surface value and don't be lured in by a deal that seems to good to be true – it probably is! Keep those devils at bay and beware of serpents offering fruit. You know the drill.
	LEO As a fire sign, you're inclined to be a little hot-headed, but you might want to take a deep breath before letting rip this month. Think of Icarus – flying too close to the fun usually ends badly. Keep your temper under wraps and your wings safe if you don't want to get burnt.		VIRGO The ancient art of alchemy was all about making gold from lead. Weave a little magic and you'll be amazed at what you can make out of what looks like a mess. It might take a bit of practice, but with a little wand-waving, you'll have a whole pile of jewels where before you  only had stones.
	LIBRA You're ruled by Venus, the planet of love. In Roman mythology, Venus played a big part in household religion, and this month might be a good time to focus on your home life. If that doesn't sound like much fun, keep in find that Venus was also the goddess of desire and passion...		SCORPIO In mythology, Charon the ferryman had to be paid before he'd take you across the River Styx. Is there something you owe before you can move on? Think hard and figure out what's holding you back on your journey.
	SAGITTARIUS Some obstacles seem impassable, until you understand how to deal with them. The Sphinx was beaten with knowledge, after all. Engage your brain and put your riddle-solving  powers to the test, and you'll find this impassable objects a bit less intimidating.		CAPRICORN There's a lot of power in a full moon. Werewolves, witches, and all kinds of otherwordly creatures are lured out by it's light. Take a leaf from their book and let yourself go this month. There's a lot of fun in letting out your hidden wild side, so let the moon guide you!
