Horoscopes

Capricorn December 22 – January 20

Looking for perfection? Be prepared to be disappointed. This week is all about human feelings and foibles. When you accept that no-one is perfect you really start to relax. Keeping your own high standards is essential, of course. Even so, don’t expect everyone to fit into your mould. Look for humour where you are finding annoyance. Soon it all makes sense. Your Luck: An interesting idea can become an approach to life that works for you.

Taurus April 21 – May 21

Trying to impress with a pressie? Remember that it’s the thought that counts. Choose carefully without being extravagant. The personal touch is what really strikes a note! A joint venture with a friend or partner in the New Year needs some organising now. As does a holiday treat for an older relative. Your time is greatly appreciated at this period in the year. Your Luck: Let your instinct guide you when it comes to accepting invitations. Something different works well.

Virgo August 24 – September 23

Living in the moment and giving all of your attention to loved ones is essential. Forget work and worries and get into the festive spirit. Demands could be many and being organised is important. After all, you don’t want anyone to be disappointed, do you? With your kind heart those around you are surely in for a treat. Your Luck: In the enthusiasm of the moment, do spare a thought for your bank balance. Remember that it is the thought that counts!

Aquarius January 21 – February 19

In a week full of enthusiasm and optimism you really feel at home in your own skin. Looking for something to give a challenge and also satisfaction? Romantic encounters seem to fit that bill! All around you people are looking forward, not back. That feeling grows at the weekend. Someone who makes you an offer seems very hard to refuse. Should you? Would you? Your Luck: Jump out of your usual serious frame of mind and find your sense of adventure.

Gemini May 22 – June 21

Making a special effort to be with a friend over the coming holiday seems logical to you. Even so, they appreciate your gesture and time more than you realise. What starts out as a duty can easily turn into a joy if you throw yourself behind it. Meeting someone with much in common with you at the weekend is fun. It also renews your confidence in your physical attraction. Your Luck: Just when you thought that you had forgotten what fun was, it pops up.

Libra September 24 – October 23

With your holiday organised, thoughts can now turn to getting everyone around you. Of all times of the year this is the one where you can sparkle. You expect perfection (as usual) and nothing less than the best is good enough. Deep in your own heart, however, you know that the greatest gift is being with those you love. Someone could turn up at last. Your Luck: When romance is fleeting it is possible to dismiss it. However, there are exceptions!

Pisces February 20 – March 20

Showing your emotions needs to be tempered this week. Keep it genuine and heartfelt. Although you may tolerate irritating people, remember that your reactions could upset others. Being flexible this week means getting more from the holiday and enjoying friends and family. Being tempted to think about work? Please don’t. Live in the moment, Pisces. Your Luck: Relax. Let yourself go. Enjoy everything as it happens. Happy days become a habit.

Cancer June 22 – July 22

In a busy week, please make time for sorting finances! The planets are lined up to give you a clear vision when it comes to cash and possibilities. Investing in the future rather than short-term pleasures is to be welcomed. Maybe you could combine a holiday next year with a business opportunity? Romantically a past love could resurface. Pleased? Maybe, but take it slow. Your Luck: A romantic week but aim to take off those rose-coloured glasses now and again.

Scorpio October 24 – November 22

In a huggy, lovey week, do your best to get the spirit moving! Somehow this time of the year brings out the best in you. Although you like a bit of adrenaline, disagreements should be put aside. Memories are made of both a good and bad kind. Make yours good by being generous in spirit. Of course you want to find some bargains this week. Look close to home. Your Luck: No need to rush around looking for something when you can use a little imagination.

Aries March 21 – April 20

The chance to put right a mistake cheers you up as this week begins. Make it quick and positive. A sudden urge to splash the cash comes over you at the weekend. This could be due to bad planning. Maybe too late to look for bargains? Don’t you believe it! Something to eat and some of your precious time is much more appreciated than ill-considered sparkle. Your company is needed. Your Luck: Taking on some classes or joining a social group could lead to romance.

Leo July 23 – August 23

This will be a holiday period in which to make lasting memories. Living in the here and now shows just how flexible you can be. Be prepared for some attention of the romantic kind even if you are not seeking it. This time of year always sees you at your charming best and sought out by friends and family. Take lots of pictures but make sure that you are in them! Your Luck: A good deal of movement in your family life could mean a New Year, new start.
