Gemini

May 22 – June 21

An interestin­g thing to do this week is to make two lists. One will contain all the things you don’t want in your life. The other will contain all the things you want or want to keep in your life. It’s a great way to move forward and always in the right direction for you. Your mind is now beginning to be very clear indeed! A change of direction perhaps? Your Luck: Take time for a stroll in the park or a bit of deep breathing. This is no time to rush into the unknown.

Libra

September 24 – October 23

Something that’s boosted your confidence continues to affect you strongly. Your need to nurture has come in handy of late. Those who wish to thank you for your efforts may be overwhelmi­ng. Treasure those moments when you’re able to quietly assess how you’re feeling. Give yourself a few treats as they’re richly deserved. Keep your sense of loving. Your Luck: The chance to be in the limelight is naturally daunting. However, don’t you now deserve it?

Aquarius

January 21 – February 19

Feel as though you’ve been doing a high wire act for the last few months? Toes now getting a little bit worn out? Don’t feel like being a clown or a lion tamer? Good, because what you need right now is a week looking forward. For yourself! The big top will be moving on soon and your feet will get back on familiar ground. Nothing feel quite the same? Your Luck: Sometimes you may feel as though you are being punished for something. It’s not personal!

Cancer

June 22 – July 22

Do you find that others are looking to you for a sense of direction? Maybe they’re in need of some emotional support? You may not have all the answers but your logical mind serves you well. In your own camp the tents are shifting, aren’t they? Does this make it easier to help others? It certainly clears up some of the questions you have yourself. Your Luck: A new life beckons. How much control you have over the speed of this is doubtful. Stay clear-minded.

Scorpio

October 24 – November 22

You already know what’s important in your life and are learning how best to protect it. Please remember to also protect yourself. In a mental sense there may be times when your nerves are pushed to the limit. Gosh, you can be a sensitive soul. Although you feel the need to control everything there are some areas where you need to compromise. Your Luck: Irritation you may have shown towards some people is now worrying you. We all feel snappy. Apologise?

Pisces

February 20 – March 20

The chance to try something new in the near future is a gift indeed. Hesitating because of some unknown factors? Have a little more faith in your talents. Some situations occur only once in a lifetime. That can be a good thing but only if you take the opportunit­ies when they come along. Is it time to do something for yourself? Surely you deserve it? Your Luck: Building something back up that had to be dropped is not easy. Pay attention to finances.

Leo

July 23 – August 23

The atmosphere around you is changing and you’re not sure where it will stop. Is this a carousel you’d rather not be riding on? Consider the options on offer. See how well placed you are. There’s a chance here to change many things in your life. Someone who you helped recently will show their gratitude with a suprising act. Your Luck: Being contacted out of the blue by people you haven’t heard from for some time? Take compliment­s graciously.

Sagittariu­s

November 23 – December 21

An overblown sense of responsibi­lity may be running you ragged. Please focus on your health and wellbeing this week. Spend a few days doing something that heals your nerves and lowers that sense of urgency. There may be a lot of love to go around but you also need to love yourself. Only then can you fully give your best to others. Your Luck: Something you had to stop because of recent situations is staring you in the face again. Watch your timing!

Aries

March 21 – April 20

Following the trend isn’t really your thing, but at the moment there’s little choice. Make this a week for building your confidence for the future. Keep talking on work and business matters so that everything is totally organised. Chances to shine will come. Be ready for them. A close relationsh­ip seems to be making faster progress than expected. Your Luck: Difficult times can bring people much closer together. Be clear what is love and what is gratitude.

Virgo

August 24 – September 23

Had enough of the current situation? Looking for a way out? Patience is needed now more than ever. Easy it is not as you’re such a sociable being. Others may even look to you to keep discipline and set a good example. Feel like getting out and dancing on tables? Mmm, nice thought. The time will come and it will be all the more enjoyable for it. Your Luck: Now that you feel you may breathe freely again you could be counting your blessings. So should we all!

Capricorn

December 22 – January 20

Full of energy, or does it feel as though it is now running out? Truly you cannot be everything to everybody. Keep yourself in tiptop condition by allowing time to follow your own interests. Pampering your body and giving your mind a chance to relax are so very essential right now. Some responsibi­lities can now be given back to others. Are you ready? Your Luck: Looking for the end of this crazy ride you are on? Slow down before you can speed up.

Taurus

April 21 – May 21

Adjusting the way that you look at the world is happening naturally. Stirred by a current situation there is more time to ponder on the future. That is far from boring, especially when it could involve someone very special. Media is bringing more people together and it’s exciting to take this on board. Keeping your distance does mean having the chance to get to know someone better. Your Luck: Give yourself time before making any long-term romantic decisions. Move too fast and maybe regret it.
