Taurus April 21 – May 21

You can be quite impressive this week in getting things organised. However, you are not looking for thanks but seeking to help others. In this you are able to focus on something other than past failings. There are some situations that no-one is to blame for and, although it would help you to blame someone, this is not possible. Gain your balance now by facing facts. Your Luck: Looking forward is the only way. Be kind when having seen the failings of others recently.

Virgo August 24 – September 23

Bring out your creative side by seeking a solution to an immediate problem. Just by trying you begin to feel lighter and more optimistic. Feeling the need to do something active is great but not always possible. Energy now needs to be channelled in a different way. It is the smaller and more personal moves and efforts that will make the most difference. Your Luck: Sometimes you feel the need to work with others. That is in your nature. Going against it is irksome.

Capricorn December 22 – January 20

In a situation where you have, in the past, been very competitiv­e, think anew. Here may be a chance to work with others to do something really worthwhile of your collective skills and talents. Be more patient of difference­s of religion or beliefs. Your purpose can be the same and of much value. Cooperatio­n is the oil that will enable wheels to turn. Your Luck: Feeling more secure about the future? What other attitude can you really take? Ease forward.

Gemini May 22 – June 21

Sometimes you can be quite good at making others see your point of view. Think twice, however, before going ahead with a plan where others disagree. Now more than ever there is a need for unity for life to run smoothly. Things may be changing around you but your core beliefs stay the same. Indeed, they can become a guide by which you navigate everyday life. Your Luck: Keep on the right track now so that you can easily change direction when needed.

Libra September 24 – October 23

Avoid running before you can walk. Take extra care if changing your routines. It seems true now that you cannot do what you intended to do a few months ago. Well, not at the moment anyway. However, an opportunit­y to show your talents comes unexpected­ly and you need to be ready. Polish up your incentives, get organised and put on the charm. Your Luck: Links to your future are all around you. Sometimes you are spoilt for choice. Choose for the long term.

Aquarius January 21 – February 19

A space now begins to open up for you to move ahead. A weight is soon to be lifted. When you meet good fortune, take along with you those people who have been your help and allies in the past months. Do you feel joy but are afraid it will be snatched away again? Let hope override your imaginatio­n. Just look at the facts. Is it so hard to believe that things can be better? Your Luck: Adjust at your own pace. Be optimistic. A loved one may be feeling much the same. Talk.

Cancer June 22 – July 22

Feel as though you’re going round in circles? Sometimes the spiral of life brings us back, time and again, to the same point. Be patient. Look further afield for things to reawaken your mind and spirit. Something creative is within you but has never had the chance to come out. Change tack and find that spring breeze! Your Luck: You see nothing wrong with change but there has to be a logical reason. Look to nature for your reasons and yourself for the solutions.

Scorpio October 24 – November 22

Frustratio­ns appear when someone changes their mind about a plan. Bide your time. Everything now is in choosing the right moment. It’s hard to see people making mistakes and misunderst­anding advice. Hold back the sharp words. Frustratio­n and anger is never a good mix. Find a physical outlet for your feelings, preferably outside of the home. Your Luck: Hold on to your better side even if you feel it hampers you. Times will change.

Pisces February 20 – March 20

A shot of joy runs through your week. Did you really see it or was it wishful thinking? Sometimes recently it’s been like walking in a haze. What’s real and what’s not? Look for facts not fantasies. Reawaken your body as well as your mind and enjoy what nature has to offer. Blow those gloomy thoughts away. Are you glad you kept your sense of humour? Your Luck: A sort of silence comes over you sometimes. Being in uncharted territory, that’s not unusual.

Leo July 23 – August 23

There’s a shift in your everyday life this week. Instead of trying to control everything, go with the flow. I’m not saying this is easy for you. It’s not. Actions need to be thought about rather than done in frustratio­n. Remember that you’re not the only one feeling this way. Nature seems to be giving out the wrong message. Be strong. Your Luck: The natural world brings changes. Sometimes they are swift, sometimes slow. It’s the swift that we notice, of course.

Sagittariu­s November 23 – December 21

Thinking ahead? Consider things from every point of view before giving an opinion. Unable to travel? This is normally the time when you’d be thinking of that? Plan ahead and be a little more optimistic about the future. Having to find a new way to reach your goals or communicat­e with others is a challenge. It is one where you are well equipped. Your Luck: Take each day as it comes and enjoy the lighter moments. Indeed, you can make these ever more frequent.
