Horoscopes

Capricorn December 22 - January 20

As we sweep into the festive week and party time, have fun! Being busy is great but do leave plenty of time for travel. Some disruptions are likely. It is an ideal time to arrange something special at home for the New Year. Remember that small can be beautiful. Someone gives you something that money cannot buy. Have you been hoping for this for some time? Your Luck: Just let yourself enjoy the moments that make this such a special week.

Taurus April 21 – May 21

A bright and satisfying week ahead gives you much to celebrate. Passions run high from midweek onwards and some could cause disrupted emotions. A rather blunt conversation is unexpected but clears the air. Who is heading your way with a special present that brings a big smile? As much as you love giving gifts, receiving them makes your eyes sparkle. Your Luck: A small gift is especially appreciated for the thought behind it.

Virgo August 24 – September 23

Holiday and workplace romances may be far from your mind but that will not stop them happening. A last-minute call about work can bring unexpected news and benefits. Be prepared to be flexible. Although you dislike dashing around at the last minute, a couple of great bargains can come your way. Travel disruptions are likely so do have a backup plan in mind. Perhaps send gifts ahead of time to be sure? Your Luck: If delayed, contact via Skype?

Aquarius January 21 – February 19

What people really like about you is the ability to please everyone. Be sure to note that the gifts that give the most pleasure this year are those that you spent the most time on and not necessarily the most expensive ones. Your smile is all that some friends want to see of you. Somehow that smile is magic. Spread it around and know that it is appreciated. Your Luck: Spending time with older relatives and inspiring younger ones is your forte.

Gemini May 22 – June 21

New faces vie for your attention with old friends and relatives. Feeling a little stretched midweek? A quiet lunch with someone close restores your energy. Our contacts change from one year to another and some friends drop out to move on. A special present could bring continued contact with someone important to you. A keepsake photo book? Your Luck: Take care when buying a gift for an older relative. You could ask them what they would like?

Libra September 24 – October 23

A slight change could see you in different pastures this year. Is it part of your plan for a new you? Spa treatments may be on your mind so let’s hope such a gift comes your way! Someone to indulge you would be ideal because you know how to do things in style. An offer that you cannot refuse comes along so hopefully the timing is right. Last-minute finances can be sorted. Your Luck: Home at New Year looks good. Enjoy those special gifts!

Pisces February 20 – March 20

A restless streak this week is all about getting things done in time for the holiday. It can even make you tetchy. The best thing is to be with people who you know will bring an element of fun to your days with silly jokes and conversations. Loving and living are what you aim for this week. Well, just another week then? Not quite, as someone new comes into view. Your Luck: Is this romance or just a flirtation? You have the luxury of deciding.

Cancer June 22 – July 22

There may be something of a ‘Bah humbug!’ attitude at the beginning of this week. That changes when you realise someone is determined that you will enjoy the festivities! Will you give in and take on the spirit of the season? Pull a cracker and make a wish. You never know who you will bump into at this time of the year. Be sure to look your brightest and best, especially at the weekend. Your Luck: A last dash for gifts brings romance. Surprise!

Scorpio October 24 – November 22

Make it a happy, healthy holiday by getting checks with the doctor done now. A long-lost friend brings back happy memories which are lovely to share. Why not plan a New Year party near home? Bringing relatives together any time is fun but this week is special. An unexpected trip as the week begins brings good news and stops a long-term worry. Your Luck: Look for the chance to progress at work, maybe through a contact at the works party?

Aries March 21 – April 20

In this festive week there is very little time for serious business. The party season could bring with it the chance for unexpected romance. With your open mind and loving heart, your antenna will be twitching! Those who are settled find this an especially warm-hearted week. A friend or relative makes your day by getting in touch. Your reaction is surprising. Your Luck: Ring the bells because there is a lot of appreciation and fun to be had.

Leo July 23 – August 23

Some planning has gone into your festive season and you aim to please, as usual. Travel disruptions don’t normally worry you, but have a Plan B just in case. You love to give a party and this could be better than having to travel. That said, when you arrive, fun is the name of the game! Glad that you made the effort to get together with those lovely folk? Someone special is making those loving eyes sparkle. Your Luck: Will you let your feelings show?

Sagittarius November 23 – December 21

Determined to make the best of yourself this week? That change of colours or hair do can make all the difference to your mood. Winter is not your favourite time but, festively speaking, you cannot help but be in good spirits. Small but well thought-out gifts are appreciated. Are you ready to take a loving relationship up a notch? When was there ever a better time? Your Luck: Responsibility can be scary but not as much as regretting what you didn’t do.
