CROSSWORD AND HOROSCOPES

GEMINI 22 MAY-21 JUNE

Don’t leave routine matters to others this week. If something needs doing then, for your own peace of mind, you must do it yourself. Certain responsibi­lities – particular­ly financial ones – may be tiresome, but with your analytical ruler Mercury moving in your favour, you can deal with them straight away. The longer you leave them, the more time they will take. CALL 1560 475 014* CANCER 22 JUNE-23 JULY

Mercury, planet of the mind, moves into your sign this week, which means that you should start to understand things that have been too intricate or intellectu­al for you. However, don’t fall into the trap of thinking you know it all – there is always something new to learn. CALL 1560 475 015* LEO 24 JULY-23 AUG

If you want something badly enough and think about it often enough, you will subconscio­usly create the conditions to make it happen. This week’s New Moon means that you should allow yourself to dream. If your dreams are strong enough, they will most likely come true. CALL 1560 475 016* VIRGO 24 AUG-23 SEPT

It is part of your nature to fear the worst, even when the planets identify this as one of the most auspicious and progressiv­e times of the year. Your intelligen­t ruler Mercury in Cancer warns that even good times can be spoiled by negative thinking, so think positive thoughts. CALL 1560 475 017* LIBRA 24 SEPT-23 OCT

You have a choice this week: either you can follow a path others have trodden or you can set off into the wilderness and hack your own trail through the jungle of life. As always, the rewards relate to the risks. The route you take depends on how hungry you are for success. CALL 1560 475 018* SCORPIO 24 OCT-22 NOV

Act as if you know all the answers and, miraculous­ly, you will find that you do. Locked in your subconscio­us is a wealth of knowledge waiting to be tapped. Mercury in Gemini means that the more deeply you think about life’s meaning, the more meaning your life will have. CALL 1560 475 019* SAGITTARIU­S 23 NOV-21 DEC

Don’t be too harsh on yourself this week if you say something you instantly regret. You cannot expect to watch your tongue all the time. Besides, if a close personal relationsh­ip has been going through a bad patch recently, it may have helped to break the ice. CALL 1560 475 020* CAPRICORN 22 DEC-20 JAN

If a partner or colleague wants to make a decision for you, let them. It is not about your ability to decide things for yourself. You should find it easier to trust others’ judgment after Mercury enters your opposite sign on Tuesday. They have your interests at heart. CALL 1560 475 021* AQUARIUS 21 JAN-19 FEB

If you have been thinking of ways to make your working routine less stressful, this is the time to start planning in a little more depth. You will get the chance to put your ideas into effect after the Sun changes signs next week. Meanwhile, give your imaginatio­n permission to roam. CALL 1560 475 010* PISCES 20 FEB-20 MARCH

Take a more passive approach to a family argument and you may be surprised by how easily it resolves itself. There are times when the best course of action is to do nothing – and this is one of them. Partners and loved ones should be allowed to take the lead. CALL 1560 475 011* ARIES 21 MARCH-20 APRIL

You must stay objective about family issues this week, otherwise you will find yourself dragged down to the same emotional level as those involved in some kind of domestic dispute. Someone needs to keep a clear head if the problem is to be solved. That someone has to be you. CALL 1560 475 012* TAURUS 21 APRIL-21 MAY

You may only be operating at half strength, but that is more than enough to see off challenges to your position and privileges. This week’s Gemini New Moon means that you should be thinking about improving your financial situation, either by earning more or spending less. CALL 1560 475 013*
