Horoscopes

Aquarius January 21 – February 19

Plain speaking and the ability to laugh at mistakes will prove crucial this week. In the everyday bustle we do tend to forget our sense of humour, don’t we? The relaxed holiday mood should have released something emotionally. It will help to propel you forward. We do not have the happiest planets for travel over New Year. You, of course, are the one who others depend on to be sensible and sober. Your Luck: Who will be driving or, better still, staying over?

Gemini May 22 – June 21

You probably couldn’t work much harder, but there seems to be so much to do. This is where organisation comes in. Make lists if necessary. A loved one seems to have something to add too. Sorting things out for other people seems the only way to be able to get on with your own matters this week. Do aim to make them more self-sufficient in the future. Your Luck: Yes, I know you dislike tying yourself down to timetables but, believe me, it really can work!

Libra September 24 – October 23

Trying to convince yourself that your resolution to improve your love life is not important would be like denying that you need food and drink. Forget the subterfuge. Be honest and open and the chances are in your favour. Get out, make friends and be ready to make your mark. Someone from the past may try to rekindle your relationship. Lessons have been learnt; stop looking back. Your Luck: There is so much promise in the future, why would you go back?

Pisces February 20 – March 20

Giving credit where due is something we can all be lax about. Someone deserves a little more than they have been given. Feeling more sensitive this week leads to being able to respond more to others. It isn’t strictly necessary but it is desirable! Sticking your neck out is nothing new to you. but be prepared to put on your sensible hat and avoid pumping your ego. Your Luck: Sunday night is the time to be careful if you plan to travel.

Cancer June 22 – July 22

Open-minded and open-hearted, you arestarting the New Year with a bang. Love continues to be the biggest reason for your ambitions and dreams. Practical issues should come a close second though. Think of it like being on a boat. Swirling mists can seem romantic and beautiful but...! Avoid an emotional shipwreck by keeping that home/work balance. Your Luck: Being impractical could lose you more than a few pennies! Be sharp and be safe.

Scorpio October 24 – November 22

First impressions may be important but leave it a few weeks and you will have the chance to try again. We all go a bit overboard at times. The trick is to get your bearings and get on board again as quickly as possible! You don’t have to change. Just show your happier side. Improvise if you find yourself in an unusual situation. What would your hero do? Can you find the hero inside of you? Your Luck: Looking at others may give you hope but also a reality check.

Aries March 21 – April 20

With so many ideas and plans buzzing around your head it has been hard to make priorities. Some impatience has been to blame for a couple of false starts. Slow down. Look around. Make that important list. In a practical week there is something deeply romantic at its heart. A mutual friend can pass on a message of love or intent. Waiting for an answer is hard but helps love bloom. Your Luck: Planting ideas as well as bulbs is good as this weekend arrives.

Leo July 23 – August 23

Close encounters of the romantic kind cannot be avoided or sidetracked this week. So, you are too busy with more important things? If you are unsure of your feelings or position, say so. The only thing that you are losing by keeping quiet is your peace of mind. Did someone give you a sketch pad or cookbook for Christmas? Now could be the time to be creative and, of course, admired! Your Luck: A quieter time gives the chance to pursue something artistic.

Saggitarius November 23 – December 21

Instant success would be lovely, wouldn’t it? Like most, though, you have to work at it. Your big ally in everything that you do this week is your sense of humour. Polish it up, bring it out and share it! There is nothing more becoming than a cheerful voice and a lovely smile. Quite honestly, you could charm the angels! There is nothing wrong with using it to your advantage, especially if it cheers others up. Your Luck: Give someone the chance to shine.

Taurus April 21 – May 21

As New Year resolutions go, yours seem pretty easy this time around. Are they, though? Your problem this time is time itself. Working hard will bring success but not as much leisure time. The answer could be to combine your resolutions with spending more time with friends. Share time outside work with friends and family by organising regular gettogethers. Your Luck: Keeping that home/work balance has never been more important.

Virgo August 24 – September 23

Imitating someone who you admire can work in your favour this week. A natural actor, you may even convince yourself! As you realise, confidence is key to your success, especially at work. Should things not always go according to plan, remember that charming smile! An effort to mix is needed. Even those with a partner are encouraged to spread their collective wings. Good things happen. Your Luck: Love is in the air but will you be out breathing it?
