Horoscopes

Leo July 23 – August 23

In a creative and astonishing week, be prepared to learn. Those who make contact have so much to offer that I urge you to listen carefully. Sometimes you think that you know everything, but how can it be true? Seeking back-up for your ideas does not mean failure. You can make real emotional progress this week by realising that you are not alone. Your Luck: Many great ideas and much progress come from working with others.

Sagittarius November 23 – December 21

Show someone that you mean business about moving ahead this week. Others may not have appreciated that you need to consider some things carefully when they are used to making rash decisions. Sagittarius is not a sign that is into wasting time. Making a romantic gesture is not enough this weekend. Some kind of physical or financial move is called for. Your Luck: Will you ask an important question? Will it be welcomed? Exciting.

Aries March 21 – April 20

In a pretty smooth-running week you may feel that there is a little something missing. Are you losing your incentive to move forward because the current trend is so cosy and predictable? Do you need to move ‘up’ as opposed to moving ‘on’? Increasing your social activities in new areas and setting your romantic sights higher could be the answer. Your Luck: Aries, we all need a bit of excitement in our lives and you need to get out and find some.

Virgo August 24 – September 23

There seems to be something going on in the background of your life that is not entirely clear to you. Make sure that you understand and have control of a new situation. Accepting help is not the same as handing over control. Don’t underestimate your power of attraction at the weekend, Virgo. You may not feel like flirting but letting someone see the ‘true you’ has many advantages. Your Luck: Use your talents and make sure that others see them.

Capricorn December 22 – January 20

After meeting a familiar situation this week you may well decide to look back. Sure, it is worthwhile if it stops you from making a mistake. However, bear in mind that preconceived ideas can backfire. People change their attitudes and their ideas as time goes on. Giving someone the benefit of the doubt costs nothing and can be to your benefit in the long run. Your Luck: If your instincts tell you otherwise, don’t rush in.

Taurus April 21 – May 21

There have been some strong influences driving your actions recently. Now is the time to fine-tune your ambitions and take control. Where the input of others can be useful and even welcome, you know what is best for you. Going about it in the most direct way will show that you mean business! A bit of good luck this week brings the chance of a change in direction. Your Luck: Small starts can lead to big things so don’t dismiss a low-key offer.

Libra September 24 - October 23

There are sensual and dramatic moments around you this week, Libra. Take the time to explore and appreciate them. Do you remember when you last showed your sparkle and charm? Perhaps not often enough? Someone really appreciates what you have to offer midweek. A conversation shows you the potential of this relationship. There is no need to accept everything that is offered to you. Your Luck: Stretch your comfort zone.

Aquarius January 21 – February 19

You may not be perfect, Aquarius, but you are pretty near it at times! Sometimes you do not receive the recognition and praise that you deserve. Take this little ego boost and run with it. There is an important question that you want to ask and now is a good time. Courage can be a very underused word and action. Right now courage can get you moving in the right direction. Your Luck: Consider what you have to gain against what you have to lose.

Gemini May 22 – June 21

This is a straightforward sort of week when you don’t have to try too hard to keep the status quo. Is that what you want? Somewhere deep inside is there a little voice telling you that there is more out there? A little bit of ambition has a lot to recommend it. Avoid stagnating. When life is too easy going and we lack challenges, this can happen. Your Luck: Your challenge can come through a business idea or colleague and there is much to gain.

Scorpio October 24 - November 22

What a confusing time this can be for you, Scorpio. There are so many paths that you could follow that giving up on all of them could seem the best option. However, you are made of stronger stuff, aren’t you? Yes, give yourself time to think and pick something that will be FUN! Taking life too seriously can sometimes mean worry-wracked times for you. Your Luck: Use a lighter touch with others and bring out their senses of humour.

Pisces February 20 – March 20

Give someone an inch and they will take yard. Whichever way you see it, make sure that someone doesn’t overstep the mark. With distractions on a few fronts, keep an eye on your love life. It is here that rich and loving moments bring so much joy. Miss them and you miss a lot! Your Luck: Making sure that you are with the right person at the weekend brings romantic rewards.

Cancer June 22 – July 22

What you need right now is understanding. Before someone else can understand you though, maybe you need to understand yourself. You know what you want, right? The question is, do you know how to get it? Someone who has already achieved this can be of help to you. Just ask! When you know the questions to ask, progress can be swift. Listen to those answers though! Your Luck: Ambition is not enough. Hard work is usually in the mixture there somewhere.
