Sagittariu­s

November 23 – December 21

Have you been hiding your feelings about a friend or colleague? Give yourself a good talking-to and be honest about any action that is needed. You may decide that no action is the best action. Arrangemen­ts for holidays should be flexible as you are likely to change your mind in view of travel disruption­s. Being open-minded and flexible can make a great difference. Your Luck: Taking a stiff attitude to anything could see you disappoint­ed.

Aries

March 21 – April 20

This is a week of trial and error or, as an optimist would have it, experiment­s and revelation­s! Expect to be surprised and delighted. Someone who has been less than careful with money (yours?) seems to be taking your comments to heart. Inject some passion and humour into a relationsh­ip. Some imaginatio­n could make bonfire night very special. Your Luck: If you want some fireworks, put in a bit of special effort.

Leo

July 23 – August 23

Has your heart has been ruling your head when it comes to money? That is about to change as a dose of reality lands in your lap! It is not as bad as you might think, as cash-flow problems become a thing of the past. Some will make money out of a hobby or turning out the attic. Once you get the bit between your teeth there is no stopping you. Bright of mind and full of good intention. Your Luck: Get going on something you have been putting off. Capricorn

December 22 – January 20

Lots of chit-chat and comings and goings lead to some fun arrangemen­ts. As these could be in the long to medium term it is necessary to be flexible. Creative ideas about a holiday next year could include house-swapping or some time spent in a forest home. Does this surprise you? Be open and share your thoughts with your partner or companion. You are more alike than you think. Your Luck: Being close to nature at the weekend comes as a revelation.

Taurus

April 21 – May 21

Taking a step up in your working life coincides with doing the same in your love life. Well, the sparks are sure to fly in November, aren’t they? Maybe something that you see as ‘old hat’ would be an exciting venture for someone close. What really excited you when you were a child? Would that activity be possible again? Go somewhere that you loved in the past. Your Luck: Planning a trip to somewhere warmer brings you closer to a loved one.

Virgo

August 24 – September 23

This is a time to let others know how you feel. Declare your feelings and expect some astonishme­nt. After all, you don’t usually rock the boat! A clear head starts with being honest and open this week. Relatives who need your input should be given priority and it could mean working with others. With a busy and exciting time ahead it is important to clear the ground for sowing the seeds of the future. Your Luck: Long-term goals are a priority. Aquarius

January 21 - February 19

It is a somewhat confusing week, when there are legal or financial matters to be dealt with. Sharpen your mind and tighten your belt. Those who are doing something different or exciting should enjoy every minute without worrying about ‘what next?’ Reading between the lines may not be your idea of fun. However, there are clues to be had about how someone is feeling towards you. Your Luck: Listen carefully to chance remarks made by someone close.

Gemini

May 22 – June 21

Love is in the air and the chance to make changes. These may be small and seem unimportan­t. Even so, they can make a difference to your overall mood. A group or community venture that you rejected earlier now seems a good idea. Has someone made you realise that they are having fun being involved? Doing something different with new people may seem a bit daunting. Your Luck: Success lies in joining in with the crowd.

Libra

September 24 – October 23

Your goodwill and charm can really cheer others up. The beginning of winter is a sad time for many. Perhaps they will look to you for some fun activities. Changes to your usual plans for the festive season should be discussed now. What you love more than anything is to make others happy. You have so much to give and pine if you cannot. Your Luck: Look back over someone or something that gave you pleasure in the past. Again? Pisces

February 20 - March 20

Pinky and perky is how you should be feeling. There is something to look forward to. To make the most of it, use your imaginatio­n when deciding what to do. It could be tempting to tread the same old path. The more you take care of finances, the better the festive season will be. I only mention this because there are temptation­s to buy what you don’t need. Your Luck: Put that extra energy to good use and find out what’s new and worth investigat­ing.

Cancer

June 22 – July 22

Cash and romance seem to spin alongside each other now. Are you planning a holiday for next year? It would lighten your spirits! Not that you are a grouch. It is often your cheery attitude that brings a smile to others. Whatever you give to loved ones you will get back. A new lease of life comes from feeling more energetic or sorting out a long-term problem, probably both! Your Luck: Let your confidence be boosted for the longer term.
