Horoscopes

Capricorn December 22 - January 20

As much as you are trying to get into the party spirit, there seems so much still to do. Getting the timing right is important, of course. Even so, couldn’t you take just one evening off to relax? A quirky person or situation makes you see the funny side of life, which you haven’t for some time! Based on past experience you may try to avoid someone from your past. Your Luck: Might it be time to give someone the benefit of the doubt?

Taurus April 21 – May 21

Is there the feeling of an anticlimax even when you haven’t had the climax yet? Being in a rut is not your ‘thing’ but, somehow, you seem to be there. Decide this weekend that you are going to rejoin the merrymakers and get into the holiday spirit. What is the alternative? Be your own best friend and don’t expect perfection of yourself. Nobody else does. Your Luck: Just be a human being and stop hankering after being a superhero. This can be a fun time.

Virgo August 24 – September 23

Will you ever get through all the things you need to do before the holiday arrives? You will, if you are determined to be organised. See lists as your friend and let them help you. One thing at a time is best. Look for bargain presents before the weekend when everyone else is. Decide not to take on so much in the future, especially at this time of the year. Your Luck: Getting tired can take all the fun out of getting together. Relax and go with the flow.

Aquarius January 21 – February 19

In a strange and slightly unsettling week it is great to enjoy the challenge of the unknown. A party or get-together at work can be both fun and embarrassing as someone tells you of their feelings for you. Don’t gossip. Be kind but firm. Broken hearts sometimes fail to mend without the right social glue. What you give in social and emotional support this week you will get back in the future. Your Luck: Yes, I know that you are feeling impatient, but...!

Gemini May 22 – June 21

Get to grips with anything that is unfinished as quickly as possible. There will be much to be done near the end of the week and others will be relying on your input. Try not to panic if it all seems too much. Make sure that others are pulling their weight. A loved one is only too keen to understand and help. Let them in. Your Luck: It is all change at the weekend and you start to get into a bright and happy mood. Why the change? What is the alternative!

Libra September 24 – October 23

Being pulled this way and that? Can’t make up your mind what you want to do when the holiday arrives? Why not do something entirely different that will please you? Getting presents organised early and delivered leaves you as free as a bird and twice as chirpy. A relaxed state of mind is good for you. We often feel pushed into situations at this time of the year. You, being soft hearted, tend to go with it. Your Luck: Remember you have free will!

Pisces February 20 – March 20

Some days you feel like being sociable and on others you feel like hiding in the cupboard! You are not alone. Many find this time of the year overwhelming. So much to do and think about and then it is also busy at work? Take a deep breath and look for the simplest solutions. A love story is now in your hands and can be guided in any direction. How is your imagination? Your Luck: A crazy, crazy week but with a bit of an unusual ending.

Cancer June 22 – July 22

So, everyone wants a bit of you over the holiday. It may not be possible to please them all. Why not arrange a get-together of your own and invite everyone? It does not have to be expensive if you ask everyone to bring some food and drink. Just make sure that you have enough cups and plates. Midweek sees you hunting for bargains and, hopefully, finding them. Your Luck: Don’t buy the first thing you see, take your time and browse.

Scorpio October 24 – November 22

Unusually for you, it seems that it is easy to irritate you at the moment. If something is not quite right, think hard about what it is. Solutions may not be to hand but will gradually emerge. The hard thing is to be honest with yourself. It is a strange week, when your spirit is up one minute and down another. Get involved in helping someone organise an event for a distraction. Your Luck: Clearly some adjustment is taking place.

Aries March 21 – April 20

Sometimes you feel as though you are dancing in the sun and then dancing in the dark. Yes, this week things seem pretty black and white. However, as long as you keep on dancing all will go well. All things festive may be on your mind. Are you considering going somewhere unusual for the holiday? Trust your instincts when it comes to dealing with relatives. Your Luck: Don’t think that everyone will have the same approach. They won’t!

Leo July 23 – August 23

It can be hard not to accept every offer that comes your way this week. It is important that you stay strong and are not tempted to double book. There is always the possibility of making alternative arrangements for the New Year. Spend quality time with your partner to work out shopping. Confusion could happen if you don’t coordinate with them on presents, visitors and food. Your Luck: Let’s face it, you don’t want to be throwing food away, do you?
