HOROSCOPES by Sally Brompton

TAURUS 21 APRIL-21 MAY There is no room for wishful thinking this week. If you assume that things will turn out right, they may do – or they may go horribly wrong. With the Sun in your sign linked to powerful Pluto, and a Full Moon highlighting relationships, you must keep on top of whatever it is you are involved in – even at the risk of annoying those who have a more leisurely attitude.

GEMINI 22 MAY-21 JUNE

The only thing that can hold you back this week is a lack of self-confidence. There are so many good things happening that you should be on a roll, but with solar and lunar activity affecting highly sensitive areas of your chart, you need to make a conscious effort to think positively. CALL 1560 475 014* CANCER 22 JUNE-23 JULY

Bear in mind this week that everything you do has an effect on other people – and everything they do has an effect on you. So make sure, as far as you can, that your words and actions are going to help rather than hurt. You are responsible for others as well as yourself. CALL 1560 475 015* LEO 24 JULY-23 AUG

Face up to your inadequacies this week. It doesn’t mean that you should see yourself as a failure, but if you are going to be a success, you must be aware of the areas where you are not so hot. Identify your weaknesses, play to your strengths – and you’ll be well on the way to victory. CALL 1560 475 016* VIRGO 24 AUG-23 SEPT

You may be a little disheartened because you haven’t achieved as much as you would have liked since the beginning of the year. However, you of all people should know there is no point bemoaning something that cannot be changed. It is what you do next that matters. CALL 1560 475 017* LIBRA 24 SEPT-23 OCT

This week’s aspects are all about compromise, especially in financial and business dealings. Your personal feelings are irrelevant – what matters is that you reach agreements with those who have more power and wealth than you. It’s not cowardice – it’s common sense. CALL 1560 475 018* SCORPIO 24 OCT-22 NOV

Be careful of what you say this week, as the planets suggest that someone could take your words the wrong way. It is as much for your benefit as it is for theirs, as you know how touchy some people can be – and, with your ruler Pluto prominent, a stray comment could ruin a reputation. CALL 1560 475 019* SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV-21 DEC

Before you do anything this week, remember you are at no one’s beck and call. If you want to alter your schedule to fit your mood, that is entirely a matter for you. Your solar chart reminds you that friends and family can tie you down only if you accept that they have a right to do so. CALL 1560 475 020* CAPRICORN 22 DEC-20 JAN

Destiny is not a matter of chance but of choice – and the choices you make this week will have a huge impact on the direction that your life takes during the next few months. Don’t be afraid to commit yourself to a creative project. You do have the talent to make a success of it. CALL 1560 475 021* AQUARIUS 21 JAN-19 FEB

Your time is precious, so don’t waste it on trivial people and pursuits. You know what you should be doing – so if you are doing something else, you must rearrange your priorities immediately. The planets warn that if you don’t, you will never achieve your aims. CALL 1560 475 010* PISCES 20 FEB-20 MARCH

You have a way with words and, if your chart is anything to go by, this week you will have something to say to someone who has let you down. Don’t accept any excuses, but don’t make them feel as though they have offended you for ever. At the end of the day, you should still be friends. CALL 1560 475 011* ARIES 21 MARCH-20 APRIL

You may feel rather tired this week after all the recent excitement. If you do, treat yourself to a well-deserved break. Saturn’s restrictive influence warns that you may experience diminishing returns. The harder you work, the less seems to get done. You know the answer, don’t you? CALL 1560 475 012*
