Horoscopes

Leo

July 23 – August 23 What others see this week is a confident and powerful exterior. What you feel may be quite different. If something has dented your confidence be sure that it is only temporary. The more you ignore it, the stronger you will be. The soft underbelly of your emotions needs a bit of TLC. Having to be strong when you are feeling sensitive is hard but well worth the effort. Your Luck: This time sees you learning how valuable you can be!

Sagittariu­s

November 23 – December 21 It is both an exciting and challengin­g week ahead. Be inventive and you will sail through. Don’t hesitate to use your imaginatio­n even if others don’t ‘get’ it. High energy and determinat­ion see you riding high by the weekend. Now, where will you take your loved one? Romance and passion are in the air. Are they allowed to gatecrash your party? Your Luck: What could you possibly be worried about? Face it head on, but with charm!

Aries

March 21 – April 20 Scatty and scary in parts, this week sees you and others changing their minds. Midweek sees the need to slow down and think about where you are going. Who wants to waste their time going round in circles? Look to your home life to bring a blast of reality. Short of time to enjoy romance? This should never happen, so be more organised! Your Luck: Make a loved one feel important or chance putting their nose out of joint.

Virgo

August 24 – September 23 With a bit of a rocky start to the week your thoughts may be on your own problems rather than those of others. Even so, it is when helping someone else that you find solutions of your own! Confusion is rife at the moment. Do you know what you are looking for? Too many choices are hard to take if you are trying to keep life simple. Pull back and let someone else show their talents where possible. Your Luck: You still have much to learn.

Capricorn

December 22 – January 21 Listen carefully to the many suggestion­s being thrown at you. Disliking someone’s attitude does not mean that they have nothing to offer. Going by looks and not intellect could be a big mistake when deciding to judge someone. Much as you may want to believe what you are told, take care. A comment may have been misheard or a sentence taken out of context. Your Luck: As long as your cash is not involved, is that right?

Taurus

April 21 – May 21 Did last week leave you feeling a little confused? Not at all surprising. Just when you feel more settled, along comes something else to keep you on your toes. This is not all bad, though. Remember that disruption in the short term usually means progress in the long term! Show your strength. Friends need more attention than you are able to give. There is nothing wrong with suggesting alternativ­es. Your Luck: Be imaginativ­e.

Libra

September 24 - October 23 Would you like a quiet and peaceful week? Maybe another time! Sticking to your guns won’t be easy. As a born problem-solver you can see many ways out of a situation. Will your sense of fair play let you allow someone to get away with bad behaviour? It is a fine balance between doing the right thing and pleasing everyone. Well, the latter is not possible, so don’t even try! Your Luck: Try less of the charm and more giving of responsibi­lity.

Aquarius

January 22 – February 19 Secretly you may agree with someone who is spouting different views. Pretending to be something that you are not is fruitless. This week barren opinions come from a feeling that you should do what is expected of you. Have the courage to stand up for what you believe in. Your hopes to be on the receiving end of something special may not go according to plan. You are not the sort of person to give up easily. Your Luck: Determinat­ion wins the day.

Gemini

May 22 – June 21 Keeping an eye on cash is a priority at the moment. Any windfall should be handled carefully. If you are looking for stability you are more likely to find it at home than anywhere else. Work colleagues can be tetchy and uncooperat­ive. It is not your fault if others are not at their best. Maybe their attitude is coloured by their lack of energy and direction. Your Luck: Be helpful by all means but let others find their own solutions.

Scorpio

October 24 - November 22 Being flexible is hard at the moment. Why are others always changing their minds? Even small adjustment­s can be disruptive when you are busy. Especially at home, be prepared to put something on hold if it makes more sense to do it later. Charm your way with a loved one. This week is about priorities and expectatio­ns. Well, sometimes you do expect too much of yourself. Your Luck: Aim to let others take more responsibi­lity.

Pisces

February 20 – March 20 Overworked and overstretc­hed? Don’t feel that you can get away? Use that very active imaginatio­n to find a solution. Your cooperatio­n with others over the last few weeks has been noted. Of course you are appreciate­d even if someone has not put it into words. Getting out of your usual surroundin­gs is good for your soul and body. Make outdoor fun a priority and avoid getting stuck in a rut. Your Luck: Fresh words from fresh lips?

Cancer June 22 – July 22

They say that you should ‘beware of Greeks bearing gifts’. But there are no Trojan horses in your world this week. There are, however, some folk who pretend to be what they are not. Stay sharp. Look for opportunit­ies to find out more about your colleagues so that you have an advantage. As for the Greeks, it’s good to get gifts and they are pretty great people. Enjoy! Your Luck: Flattery is all very well but is someone trying to distract you from the real issue?
