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

Blame your determination and excitement for a bout of restlessness this week! You simply do not want to stand still for longer than necessary. Of course, many are still in holiday mood and may not share your enthusiasm for speeding on with the job. Pump up the plans if you are travelling over the New Year. Check the car, timetables and weather. Your Luck: Don’t mind if your friends or relatives want to make changes. There is always another day.

Libra September 24 – October 23

Making the most of your new and recent contacts brings both social and work benefits. A project started some time ago could just be coming into its own. It is not the time to neglect that! Someone with bright ideas and a ready smile needs to be brought closer. Happiness seems to be nearer than you have realised. Sometimes we see a familiar option as failure. Your Luck: Open your eyes to see what really is on offer! Jealousy will be short-lived indeed.

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

It hardly seems the right time and it is sharp off the starting line, but there is a feeling of urgency where a job is concerned. Doing your best is important to you and so, if you need to get down to it, don’t feel guilty! Loved ones know how enthusiasm takes you over. Get-togethers at your home are preferable this New Year, though avoid teasing anyone who doesn’t want the hassle of travel. Your Luck: A good start makes for good luck with a project.

Scorpio October 24 – November 22

Increased activity brings a surge of optimism this week. Comments made in the last few days really made their mark on you and could show a way forward. Although looking for self-improvement, finances need to be well balanced. Remember that there is a right time for most things. Romantic notions should not get in the way of practical considerations. Anything that you are unsure about can be delayed. Your Luck: Better safe than sorry!

Aries March 21 – April 20

A wave of optimism flows through the week. Comments made in the last few days give you reason to think that a corner has been turned. A close relationship is changing and, if you work closely together, future progress may be swift. Mixed feelings around the New Year festivities could lead to some confusion. Plans could change overnight, perhaps due to transport or lack of it. Your Luck: Take extra care and be prepared to enjoy being home.

Leo July 23 – August 23

Success seems to be coming from effort that you have put into helping others. This is something that comes naturally to you, as you truly love people. A few friends may be moving or moving on in some other way this week but you should not dwell on the past. Why not make a retrospective leap for the New Year by having one at yours? Party pooping aside, it takes the trouble from travel! Your Luck: Sleepovers are not just for children you know!

Saggitarius November 23 – December 21

The holiday spirit prevails and that can be a little frustrating for you. Ditch the frustrated grunts by getting stuck into a new plan yourself. How to convince others needs careful thought. The answer can be as much social as practical. There is much to be said for changing plans to include a relatively quiet New Year. There is much to think about and to be getting on with. Why waste time? Your Luck: It is better to make safe decisions.

Taurus April 21 – May 21

Being made aware of possibilities over the last few days gives you food for thought. With an optimistic streak, taking the next step in a plan is more likely to succeed. Could regular contact and even involvement not be possible? Travel disruptions or bad weather may threaten to delay or cancel a get-together for New Year. Have a plan B that may even involve staying put. Your Luck: If staying home is not your thing, then just take care.

Virgo August 24 – September 23

Are you at a crossroads? Career or a partner seem to be going in different directions. Maybe change in one or the other is necessary? Don’t stifle your options by taking the easiest path. Loving yourself and others means having to be safe and secure when possible. Although you may feel obliged to take a certain path, there is nothing wrong with changing direction. Your Luck: Travel opens the mind and gives more of a balanced view at this time.
