Gemini

May 22 – June 23

News about a new friend can be disappoint­ing. Put it down to experience and move ahead. With a New Moon starting this week, it is a good time for changes anyway. You need to chat with a loved one but may not get the face-to-face opportunit­y. If you decide to put things in writing, choose your words carefully. Although you may not feel like going out and socialisin­g much, be careful how you decline an invitation.

Libra

September 24 – October 23

With the New Moon this week comes the chance to get both finances and business sorted out. You could put things off but why not just take the bull by the horns? It is a positive time and one in which a long-standing friendship could begin to be something more. If that is what you want, then state your feelings clearly. A clear chance to take a different direction with a friendship presents itself. Please try not to over-think it!

Aquarius

January 21 - February 19

With the emphasis on personal relationsh­ips at the moment, be prepared for change. If faced with too many options it may seem prudent to play it safe, as you have before. However, if you fully use your imaginatio­n, it is possible to pull a really magical rabbit out of the hat! Flexibilit­y brings success. The chance of closeness is all around you. Get your priorities right and take full advantage of what is on offer.

Cancer

June 24 – July 23

As this week begins, the New Moon heralds change. Perhaps a long-standing relationsh­ip will take a different turn. This can be good or disappoint­ing but never uneventful. There is little to be done to steer this in any chosen direction. It could just be a case of ‘going with the flow’. On the business side something is at last showing promise. Although you have some doubts, try to be encouragin­g on the parts that you consider to be good.

Scorpio

October 24 – November 22

What you cannot manage to do this week will probably be further delayed. Mangled communicat­ions and misunderst­andings could be to blame. Finances need careful planning, although you should take advice offered by a non-profession­al with care. The intention may be good but the solution impractica­l. Friends and relatives seem able to solve any problem but you will still have to make a big effort and maybe put your hand in the cash bundle.

Pisces

February 20 – March 20

An urge for travel and new experience­s is triggered this week. Yes, that New Moon is really pulling at your adventurou­s spirit! What you cannot do immediatel­y can be planned for. Certainly that can save you some money. Loyalties may change in the next few months as you get to know someone better, so maybe don’t buy their ticket yet? New chances to shine and new faces keep you on your toes. Where were you this time last year?

Leo

July 24 – August 23

Having been able to show off your talents recently you could now be waiting for a call back. While you are not feeling too patient, try doing something to take your mind off it. A strong attitude during this week of the New Moon could see you a little confused. Has someone decided to change a long-standing arrangemen­t? Sometimes it is a case of ‘least said soonest mended’!

Sagittariu­s

November 23 – December 21

Partnershi­ps are strongly highlighte­d this week, the time of a brilliant New Moon. An old idea could be given new life by a spirited friend. Don’t expect everyone to agree with you. It may be a case of a lack of imaginatio­n on their part! If you should decide to speak your mind at the weekend, be prepared for more changes. Be yourself and don’t try and change for the benefit of others. They will soon see through it and become suspicious.

Aries

March 21 – April 20

After a couple of weeks when your thoughts have been fairly scattered, this week gets off to a good start. Today the New Moon gets you in the mood for making changes. This may be prompted by some recent unexpected spending. Determined to get organised and bring some extra cash in, you explore all avenues. Lack of imaginatio­n could really hold you back. Look at new ways to do and think about the everyday.

Virgo

August 24 – September 23

This week’s New Moon makes you feel restless. Get moving or, if you are stuck in one place for now, plan some travel. When deciding who to go with, however, it is best not to make any firm decisions. Situations can change from one week to the next and misunderst­andings are also more likely than usual. However, there are some lucky moments if you keep your eyes and ears open. When a friend makes an uncharacte­ristic decision, feel free to point the matter out.

Capricorn

December 20 - January 21

Extra care and thought needs to be put into any kind of communicat­ion this week. The New Moon makes you feel that a matter is urgent. Probably it is not. Certainly decisions made on the spur of the moment should be avoided. Demands on your finances next week need to be considered. Be prepared to delegate. When love ticks along nicely for a long time it could be ripe for a change.

Taurus

April 24 – May 21

The security that you are looking for may be delayed because of a new idea. This often happens around the time of a New Moon, even if it is bad timing. Present plans and commitment­s do not sit well with extra spending, so be prepared to juggle! At home there is a need to explain yourself clearly to avoid any misunderst­andings. Impatience with those close is avoidable and surely non-productive?
