Horoscopes

WHAT YOUR STARS SAY THIS WEEK, OCTOBER 8–14

ARIES MARCH 20–APRIL 18

It’s good to talk. And it is especially good to talk when Pluto is angling Mercury, endeavouring to reveal secrets and bring things forgotten back into circulation. Take time to absorb the information and acquire a little distance and perspective before going on the defensive or tweeting out the good news. For more, phone 1902 261 655.

CANCER JUNE 21–JULY 21

This could be the best time to bring attention to the elephant in the living room. Cancerians are perennial conflict avoiders but once you’re ready to tango you do so with courage and panache. With this in mind, avoid swallowing your anger or accepting behaviour or terms that do not reflect you, your needs or your expectations. For more, phone 1902 261 655.

LIBRA SEPT. 23–OCT. 22

Mercury gives you the power of speech but how you use it when Pluto is also in play is with caution. Normally, you are the most diplomatic of people but when you’re faced with the unacceptable, especially if you have been soldiering on without complaint, even you can press the eject button. Be tough but not unkind. For more, phone 1902 261 655.

CAPRICORN DEC. 22–JAN. 20

If you’ve ever done any gardening you’ll know it’s pointless pulling out a weed without its roots – it will simply grow back again. And this is something of a metaphor for life at the moment. A problem or issue requires dealing with at its very heart. No maybes. No next weeks. People will respect you for taking a tough line. For more, phone 1902 261 655.

TAURUS APRIL 19–MAY 20

On Friday Venus performs a U-turn and will spend the next five or so weeks going back over old ground. This is very good news for some Taureans because a separation could be reversed and a decision made by an organisation reconsidered. For others, a cooling in a relationship could occur, or a plan placed on hold even cancelled. For more, phone 1902 261 655.

LEO JULY 22–AUG. 22

Smooth sailing may be a little too much to hope for in a cosmic environment like this, and the power generated by these waves may take you to unexpected ports, but at least you’ll know where your priorities lie. There’s nothing like a spritz of adversity to unite or divide people. And it’s always good to know who’s for you and who’s against you. For more, phone 1902 261 655.

SCORPIO OCT. 23–NOV. 21

On Friday, Venus turns retrograde, which on the one hand over the next few weeks, could give you a second chance at something. And it will certainly be worth your while to go back to someone to see if the situation has changed. At the very least you will know you gave it your best shot and can move on from there. For more, phone 1902 261 655.

AQUARIUS JAN. 21–FEB. 18

Venus, currently moving through the zone of career and life direction, turns retrograde, altering the tempo and spirit of a relationship or collaboration. Even though you may be in a positive mind-set other people could be responding to this rather angst-ridden astroscape and making inconvenient decisions. For more, phone 1902 261 655.

GEMINI MAY 21–JUNE 20

This looks to be a week of stops and starts and one where your patience could be sorely tried. By contrast, if you’re ready to put your whole weight behind something, these stars will give you all the rocket fuel you require, although you will need to make sure that everything at core level is what it should be. For more, phone 1902 261 655.

VIRGO AUG. 23–SEPT. 22

There are hidden depths to situations that develop now so don’t dismiss someone or something without doing your research. And while you may feel you have nothing to hide by giving out your ideas or saying how you feel, your words could come back to bite you. So, be like the Mona – a fascinating enigma. For more, phone 1902 261 655.

SAGITTARIUS NOV. 22–DEC. 21

If a situation you thought was dead and buried suddenly rears its head, under no circumstances panic. In the heat of the moment you are far more likely to say or do something you will regret. No matter how tempting it may be to fire off a riposte or point out someone’s errors and failings, hold your fire. For more, phone 1902 261 655.

PISCES FEB. 19–MARCH 19

Mighty Pluto turns direct and over the next few weeks you should be able to unravel a mystery. However, if such a development occurs now, do not opt for a no-holds-barred confrontation because further information could still emerge. Take notes, make plans and don’t fall off that higher path. For more, phone 1902 261 655.
