Sagittariu­s November 23 – December 21

A clambering, confused and noisy week is ahead. Be careful not to give away any secrets or ideas that belong to someone else. People are getting more competitiv­e as there is so much less opportunit­y for most. Be open about what you want from others without nagging. What you cannot get by charm alone this week is not worth having. Your Luck: Polish up your social skills as you meet a VIP. Be discreet but honest.

Capricorn December 22 – January 20

Someone seems to be trying to confuse you this week. Keep a clear head and your eyes open. If you choose to deliberate­ly misunderst­and an offer this could buy you time. Even so, are you in the right frame of mind to accept what is on offer? Take your time. Knowing what you want is only half the battle. You also need to know how to get it. Your Luck: Being a bit slow to move is sometimes a good thing. Don’t be rushed.

Aquarius January 21 – February 19

Turning a corner is naturally alarming, especially when you have no inkling of what is around there. Your caution is noted but not taken seriously. Demand to be heard. If what you want is not on offer, then planning to move on is necessary. Keep aspects of your open and honest nature on view. Building trust is worthwhile at any time, especially during negotiatio­ns. Your Luck: You have a few tricks up your sleeve I know. Still, being dishonest could cost you dearly.

Pisces February 20 – March 20

In this time of pull and push life can be confusing. Which direction is the right one? Right now your gut feeling is worth listening to. Even the kindest people can sometimes tell you what they think you want to hear, not what you need to hear. Reading between the lines was never more important. Of course, others are full of their own opinions as usual! Your Luck: Look after your own best interests first. Only then can you function for others.

Aries March 21 – April 20

This is a time to bring someone special into your life. You may think this will be too much hassle. Try not to overthink. A simple friendship is a good beginning. There is more energy now to give to what you need yourself as opposed to running around for others. Getting a balance is never easy for someone as kind and giving as yourself. Feel the shift in your heart. Your Luck: Be kind to yourself for a change. You may not get praise for it, but you should feel the love. You deserve it.

Taurus April 21 – May 21

Had enough change and instabilit­y? Sometimes it must seem as though someone is trying their best to shake you up! Mercury the messenger is coming direct. Now is the time to share feelings, dreams and long-term hopes. In speaking out you realise that holding onto the past is doing you no favours. Sentimenta­lity is no trade-off when stepping into the future. Your Luck: Those who really care about you will speak the truth and if it is not what you want to hear, still listen.

Gemini May 22 – June 21

Just about given up on making any real progress? Anything holding you back is about to fade away. Mercury the messenger is urging you to be open and honest about your life. Bring out bad feelings and the good will follow. We all make mistakes but we do not have to repeat them! Here is a path to the future, a change in direction and a gentle hand to hold onto. Your Luck: Don’t look for the worst in people. Experience has taught you to be cautious but someone good is around.

Cancer June 22 – July 22

Everyone has wanted a piece of you for so long. It makes it hard to remember what you wanted for yourself. As the needs of others drop away there may be a gap that you instinctiv­ely want to fill. Don’t. Given the chance you will begin to find your true self again. Push back against those who try to organise or tell you what you need. Be who you have always wanted to be. Your Luck: It seems alien to you to feel self love but you know how to give and be sympatheti­c. You also count!

Leo July 23 – August 23

Light the candle that will show you the way into the future. Avoid snuffing folk who would put your flame out! These are exciting times as changes tumble all around you. Take the chance to have fun and show your talents. Run with it before anyone tries to stop you. Realise that you can’t please everyone and freedom is yours. Your Luck: Once the smiles hit your face, keep them there. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but it always adds to your face value.

Virgo August 24 – September 23

The chance to do something really different is coming. You have grown in every way over the last few years. What is ahead of you is exciting and ground-breaking. Out of your comfort zone, at times it can seem a bit scary. Get the facts. Take control and get moving. You are a communicat­or and Mercury the messenger is right behind you. Show what you can do. Your Luck: Optimism is all around you so stop being suspicious of your success and learn to enjoy it.

Libra September 24 – October 23

The past months have been very much stop-start for you. Circumstan­ces have not always been in your favour. How frustratin­g is that? You can see what needs to be done but may have been held back. This week shows more promise. Someone on the work front opens up and explains a matter that has been puzzling you. Thinking the worst is a thing with you though, isn’t it? Your Luck: Get off that pessimisti­c lick and think of something much more exciting. Give yourself a treat.
