YOUR STARS H SALLY BROMPTON

PISCES

20 Feb-20 March Pin your colours to the mast this week, even if you know some people will be offended. If freedom of speech means anything it means that those who dissent from the majority view have as much right to be heard as those who support it. Shout if necessary. CALL 1560 475 011

ARIES

21 March-20 April You will annoy some important people this week and that’s good because they need reminding that they cannot act as if the world belongs to them. You may not win any popularity polls but since when has that been the be-all and end-all of life? CALL 1560 475 012*

TAURUS

21 April-21 May Sit back, relax and let fate guide you in the right direction. That may be difficult advice to take when it appears that you are heading straight for the edge of a cliff but your solar chart indicates you have nothing to fear – even if you fall you will fly. CALL 1560 475 013*

GEMINI

22 May-21 June With Venus squaring up to Saturn you may at times feel that partners and loved ones are less than supportive. But is that really the case or are you just expecting too much of them? Focus on work and career issues and your outlook will quickly improve. CALL 1560 475 014*

CANCER

22 June-23 July Set yourself targets by all means but make sure they are ones you can reach. You sometimes have a tendency to push yourself too hard and then get annoyed when you don’t accomplish as much as you hoped. Even Cancers must respect their natural limits. CALL 1560 475 015*

LEO

24 July-23 Aug This may be a slightly frustrating week as work and domestic responsibilities cut into your social life and it seems that everyone but you is having fun. However, you’ll be storing up lots of goodwill for the future – so maybe you’ll make up for it next week. CALL 1560 475 016*

VIRGO

24 Aug-23 Sept Someone you are secretly attracted to will send you the kind of signals you’ve been longing for, but can you be sure you’re interpreting them correctly? By all means be friendly but don’t confess your undying love just yet – it’s possible that you’re wrong. CALL 1560 475 017*

LIBRA

24 Sept-23 Oct Do you listen to your head or your heart this week? In fact, there’s no easy answer as either choice involves a degree of risk, but you can make things easier for yourself by being consistent: if you chop and change you will only cause yourself problems.

CALL 1560 475 018*

SCORPIO

24 Oct-22 Nov You may be a little dissatisfied with your lot but don’t let it get to you because once Venus changes signs on Thursday your outlook will change too – behind those grey clouds there’s a sky full of sunshine. One of the best times of the year is about to begin. CALL 1560 475 019*

SAGITTARIUS

23 Nov-21 Dec You want to have fun and indulge yourself in pleasurable things, but you won’t be free to do so until you have discharged your responsibilities to partners and loved ones. There’s no point hitting the town if a guilty conscience gets to tag along.

CALL 1560 475 020*

CAPRICORN

22 Dec-20 Jan With Venus at odds with your restrictive ruler Saturn you may not be full of the joys of spring but nor should you be so depressed that you simply cannot be bothered to make an effort. Spend more time with your family – they know how to cheer you up.

CALL 1560 475 021*

AQUARIUS

21 Jan-19 Feb Your fears could easily get the better of you this week. You seem to have got it into your head that you feel more for someone than they feel for you. Nothing could be further from the truth. Focus on more positive thoughts until your fears subside.

her mum (who was also kind to me), but I’m worried that she might be jealous.

AIt is possible that your friend might be jealous, but you may find that she would be glad of an opportunity to talk about her father. It’s not surprising that you feel so much grief because you had known him for more than 30 years, since you were a child, and as your own dad was absent, this man was much like a father to you.

All you can do is ask your friend – explain to her that you would never expect to have been as important to her dad as she was, but that to you he was far more important than yours and the closest thing to a father that you ever had. You can also talk to her about visiting her mum. Hopefully she will be pleased, but if she is reluctant then discuss the matter with your husband instead.
