Horoscopes

Capricorn December 22 – January 20

Do you have your bossy boots on this week? Well, you may need them! Getting others organised is increasingly difficult as the month goes on. So get solid promises and post regular reminders! Someone who’s attitude seems rather lax could just be confused. What has been happening to them recently? Find out. Show that you’re genuinely interested. Your Luck: Satisfaction comes at the weekend because of helping someone out and really learning to listen.

Taurus April 21 – May 21

For a while now you’ve been tying up loose ends, and not just your own! Still looking for someone who really understands your needs and ambitions? This is more likely to be someone at work than an intimate connection. Aim for an atmosphere where you can be yourself and not worry about impressing anyone. If you find this, it is lucky indeed. Your Luck: Be willing to make friends with someone with whom you seem to have nothing in common. Be surprised.

Virgo August 24 – September 23

This is not the best time of year for business opportunities to open up. After all, don’t you have enough to do? Obviously not! Find the time to listen carefully to some ideas from a friend. You may pick and choose your path ahead. However, you should avoid making rash promises. At this time of year people tend to take comments more to heart. Your Luck: Think you’re not good enough for a new project? Who, really, could do it better than you?

Aquarius

January 21 – February 19 After a tricky invitation arrives you need to discreetly find out what is going on. A clue could be in the other people invited. So, are you in the mood to make the best of your appearance? Oh, yes, I know that you are not easily impressed by clothing or contacts. Even so, please do make the most of an opportunity that falls into your lap. There is everything to gain if it succeeds. Your Luck: Have more faith in your ability to charm and explain yourself.

Gemini May 22 – June 21

Getting organised with your money ready for the holiday is sensible. It also serves to clear your mind on a romantic issue. You may feel like dithering and there’s nothing wrong with that. Just as long as you realise that, sooner or later, a choice must be made. Being in a partnership brings security and inspiration. When it comes to agreements, pick the right time and place. Your Luck: The effort you put into anything this week really makes a difference.

Libra

September 24 – October 23 Both romantic and business propositions come your way. Don’t feel you must choose one over the other. Someone wants to form a close relationship. They are keen enough to give you what you need. Take charge early on to be sure things go your way. Expect your friends to be lukewarm about your choices. You do know what you want and need, so make it clear. Your Luck: Avoid always letting others get their own way. It can only lead to discontent for you.

Pisces February 20 – March 20

Do you feel like breaking free and having a quiet holiday? Does the thought of more plum pudding just puff you up? You’re not alone. Remember, though, that some things are very unpredictable. This is especially true if you’re getting together with family. Still, get the basics and traditions right and you’ll be feeling smug by this time next week! Your Luck: Give someone a chance to explain an idea and avoid prejudging. A freshness is about to pour over you.

Cancer

June 22 – July 22 There is a tendency to believe that your partner has the same interest in a project of yours. Could it be they just don’t want to upset you by being honest? This is likely a business matter. Will it take you away or be heavy on your time? At this time of year it’s even more important to keep the work/home balance right. Maybe involving someone close could give you a new perspective. Your Luck: Don’t underestimate the talents of those around you. They have much to offer.

Scorpio October 24 – November 22

Jump up and get ‘out there’ this week. Some chances of success need chasing rather than letting them come to you. When others are busy, make it your job to be helpful. A joint effort is best but there may be hold-ups. All the more reason to get started early then? A misguided friend may throw you off the scent of romance. Judge for yourself. Your Luck: It’s a great time to ask questions and seek favours. Make the most of the goodwill hanging in the air.

Aries March 21 – April 21

A great deal of confidence drives you forward this week. Knowing what your talents are helps but you also need to know how to use them. There are chances to make great strides in your working life. Just be sure you don’t have to stretch finances too far! Being sensible doesn’t always come easily to you, especially in the heat of excitement. A partner aims to guide you. Your Luck: The passion and power you feel needs to be aimed in the right direction, so plan carefully.

Leo July 23 – August 23

Having so much going on around you can be confusing and tiring. As much as you like to socialise, let others take on some of the work. This lets you get business matters tied up before the holiday. A hectic midweek brings satisfaction. You’ll be glad you made an effort. Be clear about your needs (especially when it comes to gifts) rather than risk a big box full of nothings! Your Luck: Maybe those hints need to be more vocal or you could end up with a pig in a poke!

Sagittarius November 23 – December 21

Although it may be very much a working week, don’t hold back on issuing invitations. It may be a quiet drink or a mega party. Get the details finalised at the weekend. The sooner you let others know, the more of a success it can be. Find time to look for bargain presents midweek when there is the chance to get to grips with finances. Don’t hurry your choices. Your Luck: Keep on with a good diet and at least some exercise. Too busy? That really is an excuse.
