Horoscopes

Leo July 23 – August 23

Losing focus on your dreams? Confused about those plans? Well, take your time. Decisions made now may stick for some time. Of course you’ll be influenced by those you love. There’s no getting away from the fact that your heart knows what it needs. Don’t waste time fighting something inevitable. Of course you can influence someone else’s attitude. Your Luck: Someone is solving a riddle for you even as you read this. Remember to give praise where it is due.

Sagittarius November 23 – December 21

Feeling a little light-headed? Could it be the drink you had last night or is it the thought that things are not normal? A conversation with someone who you love and trust brings up fresh ideas. Feeling a little low in energy? Make your plans on paper before you lose track of their general value. Some simple matters really can make a big difference to everyone. Your Luck: Use some of that extra energy to play a sport or otherwise distract your busy mind.

Aries March 21 – April 20

Moving forward again this week? Although at times it seems like two steps forward and one step back, it’s still progress! Your compass is right on so it’s just a matter of being determined. Someone really wants to be on your side and even fighting in your corner. Maybe you hesitate to accept in case there’s a price to pay later on? Do you really need to be so suspicious? Your Luck: A situation may not be what it seems. No, it could be a whole lot better than you think. by Carlos O’Connor

Virgo August 24 – September 23

The need to spend some time alone is strong. With so much going on in your head, this could be the right solution. No longer looking for easy answers, you just want something to be finished. However, there is a way in which everyone can be happy with the result. Just think what you would have done ten years ago when faced with the same dilemma. Your Luck: Entertain yourself this weekend by doing something that you have always wanted to try. Childish? No. Just fun.

Capricorn December 22 – January 20

Small adjustments this week seem able to solve any problem, so avoid panic and just take a more relaxed approach. Someone trying to get you to do something that is not your responsibility can put your teeth on edge. Saying a sharp ‘no’ may seem the best option. Someone who wants to be closer to you may seem to be over-enthusiastic. They will settle in time. Your Luck: Give up the weekend to doing something that needs lots of concentration. Satisfaction is almost guaranteed.

Taurus April 21 – May 21

To feel that you’re making progress, finish one job at a time. Trying to do everything at once can lead to frustration. The world looks different to you at the moment and you’d rather things didn’t go on changing. A more stable picture is coming, you just need patience. Someone wants to be in your corner and that could be quite cosy. Is cosy what you’re looking for though? Your Luck: Feeling more relaxed at the weekend? Could that be because something is clearer now?

Libra September 24 – October 23

Stop thinking about the various options of a situation and just get on with it. Something may seem like a foregone conclusion but it is far from that. Don’t overthink what is, basically, a simple situation. When emotions are involved there can be delays and these delays can cost you more than a few pennies. No, be prepared to act when the time comes, and with determination. Your Luck: Keep faith with your dreams and allow a little imagination into your calculations.

Aquarius January 21 – February 19

Be aware that others may try to increase your workload. One way of doing this is to try and make you feel obligated or to appeal to your sense of responsibility. Don’t be fooled. Are they trying to offload something or someone? Taking a step back or simply being ‘too busy’ is an option. You’re not easily swayed by the emotions of others at the moment. Just as well! Your Luck: The more often you say ‘no’ the less often people will approach you with silly notions. Stand firm.

Gemini May 22 – June 21

An emotionally charged time when some things seem more confused than usual. It’s hard to see straight when your heart and mind want to go in different directions. Decide what’s most important to you. Every time that life seems to be settling down, changes start up again. It won’t go on for ever so take the opportunity to change what you want. Your Luck: You have more control than you imagine. Just try asking for what you want rather than being over-subtle.

Scorpio October 24 – November 22

When it comes to an awkward situation it is best to compromise if that feels right. Maybe you are being overly stubborn? ‘No’, you cry, and yet compromise is not being considered. Indeed, to move forward you may need to move your thoughts back to the distant past. Now is a time to consider for a little longer, but not too long! Your Luck: There are always solutions to be found but maybe not if you let others call the shots.

Pisces February 20 – March 20

Now you’ve found out how to avoid unnecessary entanglements with others life is much simpler. There may even be time, especially at the weekend, for turning your thoughts to love. Someone who has been seeking your attention for some time is still there. Be responsive if you wish but, if you have no strong feelings, also be honest. Your Luck: That charming smile will carry you through many a sticky patch but always voice your honest feelings.

Cancer June 22 – July 22

The urge to do something creative overtakes you this week. Are you going to ignore it or have a bit of fun? There is no need to take everything in your life seriously. A suggestion from a friend fires the imagination. Will this lead to changes? Well, if you want it to then it will. However, at the moment nothing is immediate so continue to plan ahead and keep busy in the meantime. Your Luck: Mixed emotions at the weekend give reasons to check back about some facts. Will you go with your heart?
