OUR RESIDENT ASTROLOGER PREDICTS YOUR WEEK FROM MAY 23 TO MAY 29

GEMINI MAY 22 – JUN 21

If you’ve been holding things in, open up to someone you trust. As emotions are released, the sense of relief should be instant. Socially, you’re entering a busy period – just don’t squeeze too much in, for conversations may be lengthy. As Mercury reverses into your zone of secrets, hidden facts could come to light, so if you’re looking for answers, start digging. LUCKY NUMBERS: 5, 11, 15, 23, 37, 39

VIRGO AUG 24 – SEP 23

Can you feel the shift? The celestial tide is turning in your favour. Strategies formulated under this week’s insightful stars might really work, so be sure to write them down. New directions lie just around the corner, so if you’re up for a challenge, update your résumé as well. Singles, someone with a common interest could click instantly this weekend. LUCKY GEMSTONE: PERIDOT

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 – DEC 21

Stop being so conscientious and kick up those heels! Hit the dance floor with friends, catch a live show or celebrate someone’s success with a fancy dinner. As dynamic duo Mars and Jupiter form a rare lucky link, why not master a new skill or enter a few competitions? Not only will you have fun, your natural aptitude might surprise everyone! LUCKY GEMSTONE: ROSE QUARTZ

PISCES FEB 20 – MAR 20

Want the good news or the bad? After a tough few months your money zone is bouncing back to life – you might even receive a small windfall – but on the flipside, opinions might fly. Put any big decisions on hold, for Mercury is still retrograde, and enjoy an indulgent weekend instead. Visit a farmers’ market or catch up with friends over a gourmet meal. LUCKY FLOWER: ORCHID

CANCER JUN 22 – JUL 23

Your world is expanding, Cancer. It’s all about networking this month, with friends and colleagues pointing you towards exciting new opportunities and people. As your own experiences come full circle, don’t be surprised if your words of wisdom are in demand. It’s time to give something back, or perhaps even step into a teaching or mentoring role? LUCKY COLOUR: SILVER

LIBRA SEP 24 – OCT 23

Don’t try to be stoic, Libra. Mercury might be stirring up some deep feelings, but conversations should prove enlightening – and they could prompt a new course of action. The passionate vibes might also extend to your love life, so whether single or attached, plan something indulgent or unusual for the weekend. A night of romance might be just what you need. LUCKY SYMBOL: RAINBOW

CAPRICORN DEC 22 – JAN 20

Prepare to get down and dirty! Whether it’s your home or garden, a winter overhaul is in the pipeline. If you’re on a tight budget, don’t stress – a quick course or weekend workshop might turn you into a pro. Working bees and fundraising activities should bring out your best this month, so why not get involved? Your input could make all the difference. LUCKY DAYS: THURSDAY & SUNDAY

ARIES MAR 21 – APR 20

Hold your horses, Aries. An idea that’s got you excited may need fine-tuning, particularly if finances are a factor. As go-getter Mars bursts into your sign, that impulsive streak will need watching, but as a spin-off, your energy levels should soar, so throw yourself into something that works up a sweat. Your positive approach will be an inspiration to others. LUCKY SIGNS: FELLOW RAMS & GEMINIS

LEO JUL 24 – AUG 23

Practise the art of patience, Leo. After a period of uncertainty, your vision is growing sharper, but some things can’t be rushed. Seeds planted in June should blossom through spring and summer, but in the meantime, concentrate on recharging your batteries. Maybe it’s time to haul out a backpack or picnic basket and explore somewhere new? LUCKY NUMBERS: 4, 8, 18, 29, 33, 34

SCORPIO OCT 24 – NOV 22

You’re entering the season of transformations. With Jupiter and Mars both stoking your enthusiasm, winter could bring a health and fitness overhaul, while at home, a winter makeover might hit the agenda – just don’t expect speedy progress, for Mercury is still retrograde. If you’re feeling uncertain about a financial matter, keep researching ideas. LUCKY NUMBERS: 6, 14, 18, 29, 33, 38

AQUARIUS JAN 21 – FEB 19

Itching for a challenge? Forget about what others might say and follow your heart. Take a few risks, change a few patterns or explore somewhere new, even if it’s within your own city or town (for parents, the kids might enjoy it too). As your activity levels increase over the coming weeks, a lingering health problem might improve almost overnight. LUCKY NUMBERS: 8, 12, 19, 29, 35, 38

TAURUS APR 21 – MAY 21

It’s a turbulent time, but hang in there, for things are looking up. After next week’s new moon, the vibe should lift dramatically, so don’t let someone’s passive-aggressive behaviour get to you – it’s their problem, not yours. In the meantime, throw yourself into a clear-out, then plan an indulgent weekend. A massage or facial might feel blissfully therapeutic. LUCKY SYMBOL: STAR
