Horoscopes

Taurus April 21 – May 21

During a month of passion and fiery encounters your love life could really set your world on fire. Venus is always firing off in the direction of your heart but this week the reaction could be strong. If one partnership is moving up a notch, be sure to get the message right. The need is to please another. However, be sure you also get exactly what you need. Your Luck: Don’t be shy when setting out your future. Let others know what is expected of them.

Virgo August 24 – September 23

Need a little time to yourself this week? Find a friend who will take the weight from your shoulders. Really, how often do you ever ask for anything? Partnerships are important to you, especially when starting something new. Put into it what you wish to get out. Money matters should be easing and even improving. Keep to that budget though. Your Luck: It is easy to spend too much when enthusiasm takes over!

Capricorn December 22 – January 20

There are aspects of passion, jealousy and adventure running through this week for you. Sometimes it can feel as though you are going down a very long slide. Will there be a big bump at the bottom? Ease off on the worrying and enjoy the ride. This is life. Share your thoughts and concerns. Talk is cheap and really helps. Who knows, you may even see the funny side! Your Luck: Charm and a sense of fun will get you anywhere!

Gemini May 22 – June 21

Stormy weather on the home front could see you trying to pour oil on those troubled waters. Disagreements and confused communications are likely. Keep your conversations simple and clear. Someone may deliberately mis understand to fire up a discussion. If you want to avoid that, keep your distance. Of course, when passions flare in a partnership, the result can be strangely cleansing. Your Luck: Is a sparky discussion exactly what was needed?

Libra September 24 – October 23

The need for love and approval can lead you down dead ends sometimes. That is disappointing, especially as someone who wants to see the best in others. This week open your eyes and your mind to what is happening around you. What you may find is love where you least expect it. You may also find negative people who are just not worth your time. Your Luck: Clear out your social contacts so that only positive people are left.

Aquarius January 21 – February 19

Suffering from a surfeit of energy? Just have too much ‘get up and go’? Look to some of those tasks and interests that you just haven’t had time for recently. Get out that list and work through it. Try not to get tetchy with others who cannot match your zip and zing. After all, it takes all kinds, right? Aim to get out at the weekend and be annoyingly entertaining! Your Luck: Bring out that childlike quality others enjoy.

Cancer June 22 – July 22

Avoiding friction this week could save you irritation in the longer term. Something may have upset a loved one. Try to persuade them that it should be seen as a short-term ‘blip’. Overreactions have bad effects sometimes and should be sidestepped or ignored. Giving advice to a family member does not mean that you should take charge (that is, unless they ask you to!) Your Luck: Bring out that wellknown Cancerian charm to persuade others.

Scorpio October 24 – November 22

Something you have been expecting or suspecting seems to be coming to a head. Do you feel that you would just like to walk away? Well, that may be your instinct. Even so, if you can take charge and turn this around, do so. Have some confidence in your ability to be the voice of reason. Passions and emotions are also strong in your love life. Here the road to a fresh start has appeared. Your Luck: Grab that map before you take off.

Pisces February 20 – March 20

This may not be the best time for you to be signing deals or conducting sensitive negotiations. Even discussions at home around the finances could get heated. Remember what is really important to you (like being kind to loved ones) before you blast off to another planet! Will you be spending out on anything big? Get the best deal and a guarantee. Your Luck: Be aware that impatience could cost you dearly.

Leo July 23 – August 23

Keep this a low-key week wherever possible. There is a lot of thinking to be done and loose ends to be tied. Movements on the home front could see you on the wrong end of someone’s frustration. Get going on that errand and put some distance between you. Someone who is being irrational could be wasting your time (and theirs) so make your position clear. Your Luck: A quiet outing at the weekend brings you and your loved one closer.

Sagittarius November 23 – December 21

Temptation is all around you this week. It only takes a few boring days for you to seek adventure. Even so, look around at your situation and see things improving quickly. Isn’t this what you have been working towards? Yes, a little more patience could see long-term plans come true. The trouble with waiting for a long time for something is that it can be disappointing when it comes. Your Luck: Give someone a special treat at the weekend.

Aries March 21 – April 20

Aim to be sure-footed this week by double-checking any travel arrangements. Communications could be misunderstood or even missed at such a busy time. Sometimes life is like a roller coaster and you just have to hang on in there and enjoy the thrill. Doing something special for a loved one at the weekend makes you both realise how very lucky you are. Your Luck: Speaking your mind when it comes to romance should be carefully worded.
