Horoscopes

Sagittariu­s November 23 – December 21

Friends bring a lighter side to your life this week. Be it an invitation to a party or arranging a celebratio­n, they should be welcomed. Keeping your own company can be fine, but too much of it may make you lose a balanced picture. Do you realise how much others enjoy your company? Probably not as you are so naturally modest. Put on your brightest attire and join the fray. Your Luck: Something that you really care about brings a passionate response at the weekend.

Aries March 21 – April 20

Loving a challenge, you will be pleased to know that this week throws up at least one. Travel brings excitement and the feeling that more would be great fun. However, your attention is taken midweek by a relative’s problems, which cannot wait. More travel and a dent in your finances possibly result. Still, you are so sympatheti­c and reliable, it must be satisfying. Your Luck: Planning something a little less hectic at the weekend allows a chance to recharge.

Leo July 23 – August 23

Your ideal partner cannot be too far away. Is that what you are thinking? Maybe you are already suited, in that case well done! However, for the rest this is a really good week to make tracks outdoors and look for that special someone. Of course, many don’t feel the need, especially if it is someone who chatters all the time. In that case a cat or dog may be preferable. Your Luck: Somewhere there may be a pet who would really love you to look after them. Consider it?

Capricorn December 22 – January 20

Looking into something that is a bit of a mystery just leads you to another. However, asking the right person brings a quick answer. Have you thought of asking that person before but hesitated? Well, now you know that it is worthwhile. Send out an invitation for next week based on a good feeling about someone new. Your instincts are likely to be spot on. Your Luck: Making an effort with someone this week could lead to a long friendship.

Taurus April 21 – May 21

With some extra energy you could take the plunge and join a team effort. This could be for a charity or a sport but it surely brings laughter and a new experience. With your great sense of humour, you will make the most of any situation. Work takes up quite a bit of your time right now and may be particular­ly tiring following your exciting weeks’ activities. Your Luck: Keeping an eye on your diet means continuing to have that healthy bounce to your step.

Virgo August 24 – September 23

Any unsuccessf­ul forays into love and romance should not be allowed to put you off the idea. Not everyone finds a soulmate right away. Could it be that a dance venue or a library holds the key to your search? Of course, if you have one then your partner might object. Fair enough. How do you feel about a romantic night in with a video and a glass of something special? Your Luck: Make arrangemen­ts for the festive season if you want to be somewhere special.

Aquarius January 21 – February 19

In a week when you are most attractive and charming, your popularity could go through the roof. Being quick to react is fine. Even so, longterm plans are better than a flash in the pan. An entertaini­ng holiday in the past reminds you of what fun was had. Could it be a possibilit­y to do it again? It is worth looking into the possibilit­ies and now is the time. Your Luck: Hesitate to bag a bargain and you could end up paying more. Why not ask the opinion of a friend?

Gemini May 22 – June 21

Although you start the week a bit depleted, after a few days your old energy returns. A mystery is solved involving a friend and time lost. The answer may involve a sudden romance. Why didn’t you notice? Taking so much on recently has left you less than sparky! Get your lifestyle back on track. Who wants to burn out every weekend? Anyway, a loved one needs your attention. Your Luck: Some quiet moments on Sunday may bring you both to some kind of balance.

Libra September 24 – October 23

A December invitation doesn’t need thinking about. Rather than finding reasons not to go, consider why you should. A change of scenery could be a real tonic after recent confusion. A caring and positive attitude leads you to the right place. Being picky about your company is fine but don’t rule out someone just because you have not met anyone like them before. Your Luck: Variety is the spice of life, it is said. So, do something new this week that is fun.

Pisces February 20 – March 20

The march of time can turn into a delightful dance if you only take the right attitude. Sometimes it seems that you have lost your sense of fun. Silliness can be part of a balanced life. Use some of that magical sense of fun to charm a friend into joining you for a trip out. What it brings home is that you need to be out and about more. Life is for living, Pisces! Your Luck: Don’t let fear of the unknown stop you from being adventurou­s. Start with something simple.

Cancer June 22 – July 22

Are you thinking of changing your appearance? Maybe a healthy glow is all you are missing. Getting out and about in this crisp autumn weather could be just the tonic. Perhaps a local walking group needs new members? Making some new friends at the same time would be a bonus. Not feeling so active? Maybe a book or cinema group would be more your style? Your Luck: Shake off those cobwebs and you will find a whole new burst of energy.
