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 You've been a little dreamy lately, playing in fantasy worlds. Time to wake up and get back into the real world! Sure, reality doesn't hold all the possibilities that the dream world does, but with a little ingenuity you can shape reality as cleverly as your dreams.		PISCES You're not usually the impulsive type, but maybe you've been a bit rash lately. No harm done really, but be careful you don't rush in where angels fear to tread. After all, angels are a lot wiser than us mere mortals, so it can't hurt to follow their example from time to time. Clip your wings, just for a while.
	ARIES You’ve been uncharacteristically aggressive in chasing success lately – maybe it’s time to rein in those animal instincts for a while? Traditionally, werewolves only came out once a month after all. Don't waste all your energy chasing your own tail!		TAURUS Did you know the earliest recorded sightings of unicorns were actually antelopes? Takes away the magic a little, right? Well, sometimes you have to make your own magic. The most mundane things can be transformed with a little fantasy – let your imagination run wild and see what you can come up with.
	GEMINI Expect a few spiritual experiences over the next few weeks. Outside influences will have you a bit confused and some developments might catch you off-guard, but it’s nothing to worry about. Sometimes forces we can't explain like to trip us up. It's best to keep your mind open and maybe a lucky charm on hand!		CANCER You might have a sense of going round in circles this month, so take a page out of Theseus's book and remember to mark your way out of the maze! And beware the monsters lurking at the heart of it – maybe you won't be contending with minotaurs, but we're very good at making our own demons.
	LEO If you’re feeling restless and bored with your routine, this is the ideal time to shake things up a bit. Odysseus crammed a lot of adventure in just by getting lost, so don't be afraid to wander off the beaten path. Lotus eaters, cyclops and witches may be just the change of pace you're after.		VIRGO You're not, sadly, a mermaid. There are times when you feel like you’re swimming upstream and just getting nowhere fast. Maybe you need to get back on solid ground and find a new solution to your problem – have you thought about being a dragon and just soaring over the obstacles in your path?
	LIBRA Your current routine is safe, but do you always want to be 'safe'? There's a lot to be said for a little danger to spice things up. Strap on your weapon of choice and head out into the fray. Whether you're facing wicked witches or capricious fey folk, you should find something to get your blood pumping!		SCORPIO A good gargoyle looks grotesque but that always hides a noble purpose – to protect and defend. Be sure you aren't judging someone for their looks rather than their actions right now – better to have a gargoyle as a friend rather than an enemy!
	SAGITTARIUS You’re going to have to be resilient in the face of some bad luck. You’re a perceptive person, so you should know to avoid walking under ladders and breaking mirrors, but it always bears repeating. No need to resort to rabbit feet yet, but if you know a friendly gypsy, you could stock up on good luck potions.		CAPRICORN You’ve risen above a certain situation and are holding your head high. That's fine, but remember what happened to Icarus when he rose too far. Enjoy your success, but don't burn your wings – there's still a long flight ahead of you.

Author of the URBAN WOLF series Naomi Clark lives in Cambridge and is a mild-mannered office worker by day, but a slightly crazed writer by night. She has a perfectly healthy obsession with giant sea creatures and a preference for vodka-based cocktails. When she's not writing, Naomi is probably either reading or watching 80s cartoon shows, and sometimes she manages to do all three at once.
