Horoscopes

- By Carlos O’Connor

Pisces February 20 – March 20

The lunar eclipse midweek sees you questionin­g the quality of your current life. Are you working too hard or neglecting the things that are important to you? Indulge your senses by going for walks, soaking in the bath or listening to soothing music. Are you chasing happiness or just thinking that it will come in the future? Don’t you want some right now? Your Luck: The world is not all about making money, but making joy.

Cancer June 22 – July 22

Lead the way when trying to get new methods and ideas off the ground. Some things will just not ‘fly’ without your help. Personally there may be a disagreeme­nt going on about some of your finances. Stick to your guns but take advice where necessary. Avoid speaking out without considerin­g your words. Relaxing is the best way to be in the ‘here and now’ at the moment. Your Luck: Relatives or a short trip can be just the ticket!

Scorpio October 24 – November 22

Being unduly influenced by others is easy enough for you. Even so, suggestion­s made this week will see you pushing back what you see as silly advice. The emphasis is now on your determinat­ion to do what you feel is right. When it comes to romance you need to make the time. It can enrich your life so much it would be a shame indeed to discount it. Your Luck: Sometimes it is just the case that you will not be turned.

Aries March 21 – April 20

Something you hoped for will take a little longer to develop, so be patient. In the meantime there is plenty for you to be thinking about. Someone who changes their mind on something important to you can be annoying. Even so, the midweek lunar eclipse gives the right to be imaginativ­e and creative. That long-craved plan can now be started. It should take time rather than money at the outset. Your Luck: Returns can be slow.

Leo July 23 – August 23

Efforts made in the past now show their worth. This helps your confidence and spurs you on to make changes. These could be in your attitude to your appearance: feel like doing something shocking in the looks department? Try not to shock the boss! What you really do best is showing off your talents. Now you should start to develop them further. Maybe a course or tuition? Your Luck: Those who have a talent for the arts feel at home now.

Sagittariu­s November 23 – December 21

Let yourself take time, as this week begins, to gather your energy and think on decisions. Those who try to influence you may find their words falling on deaf ears. Knowing your own needs certainly helps you along the right path. A flippant approach from someone to something you feel strongly about is annoying. However, why does their opinion count? Your Luck: The lunar eclipse provides you with imaginatio­n and a changeable mind.

Taurus April 21 – May 21

Surprises galore right now can really stop you in your tracks. Family matters can become passionate and unpredicta­ble (except that I have now forewarned you). Please let others have their say and listen carefully. Somewhere in the questions is the answer. You just need to keep life simple. No emotional goal-scoring please! Work hard by all means but remember to make your down time really relaxing. Your Luck: No burning both ends of your candle!

Virgo August 24 – September 23

Helping someone out this week may involve keeping quiet about a certain aspect of their life. Think carefully if you are going to do this as it could be for the longer term. Maybe you will decide to keep life simple and not get involved. Sometimes it becomes necessary to remember the ‘no’ word! Giving someone the chance to talk and get things out of their system is best. Your Luck: You do not have to solve everyone’s problems!

Capricorn December 22 – January 20

Stay chilled out this week and make the most of any quiet periods. With the lunar eclipse midweek the emphasis is on finances and managing them. Luck very much comes into the mix as you ponder an investment, but it only needs to be small to bring a big result. Love is linked to finances so be sure that someone is with you for the right reasons. Your Luck: Use your imaginatio­n.

Gemini May 22 – June 21

Be brave when it comes to telling someone of a new idea. If you don’t ask, you may not get! The startling lunar eclipse midweek brings passionate exchanges, which can be both good and bad. If a new friend is involved, it is more likely to be good. It is not the time to arrange a getaway as you are in the middle of so many changes. However, you can allow holiday plans to form. Your Luck: Problems with an existing relationsh­ip need careful handling.

Libra September 24 – October 23

Something or someone that you believe in stirs up emotions this week. With a lunar eclipse urging you to look to the future, especially in your love life, action is needed. Any opposition to your plans can be charmingly sidetracke­d as long as you choose your time and words carefully. A light-hearted time is just what you need right now. Your Luck: Make plans for trips or a holiday but make the dates flexible.

Aquarius January 21 – February 19

It’s a great week for thinking rather than doing, though that ‘to do’ list becomes more important as the week progresses. The lunar eclipse midweek could bring some heated discussion­s at home. Some more thinking required here! If your patience wears thin, remember the good times. There is far more scope for working things out than you know. Just how flexible are you willing to be? Your Luck: Consider your options.
