Horoscopes

Leo July 23 – August 23

Something this week brings a lighter feeling to your life. Being a social animal usually goes in your favour but recently it’s been stifled. Moving forward, give yourself some TLC and fun times. This will help you adjust quickly to what comes next. Someone appears back into your life who has been sadly missing. Will you be honest about your feelings and intentions? Your Luck: A loving week can be confused with a temporary whim. This is a coming together of minds, so enjoy it.

Sagittariu­s November 23 – December 21

There’s something a bit airy-fairy about your thinking this week. Although it will soon pass, take care when making decisions. Finances could be involved and need imaginativ­e handling. Balance the books rather than ignore them and it will soon be resolved. You may not see yourself getting rich in the near future unless you already are. Even then it could be two steps back. Your Luck: You’re not the only one feeling confused right now, but fuzzy thinking needs avoiding.

Aries March 21 – April 20

Feeling as though things are getting back to normal? Although there’s certainly relief this week, your mind still seems to have moments of high alert. This will settle. We’ve all been through a very disruptive time. Keep up any exercise and good diet changes. High energy could make you feel emotional. Let people know how you feel, honestly. Your Luck: Being a part of something bigger helps to keep your feet on the ground. The best option is to move forward.

Virgo August 24 – September 23

Give yourself a good talking to if your enthusiasm starts to wane. Things are getting lighter in your life. Maybe it’s still hard to see it. Look closer. Stop thinking that everything will fail or change. Getting back to normal takes time. There’s a lot of catching up to do on the emotional side, isn’t there? Take no-one for granted. Your Luck: A relationsh­ip has recently been strengthen­ed, but in what way? Any confusion should be talked through or you could lose something valuable.

Capricorn December 22 – January 20

Responsibi­lities taken on recently might need rethinking. Do these belong to someone else who could now take them back? There’s a new chance for personal growth, which may have been on hold. That, of course, needs more time for yourself. Splitting your time too much could see you fail in all directions by taking too much on. Your Luck: Your big heart isn’t the only thing that could trip you up this week. Pay attention to those small but important financial decisions.

Taurus April 21 – May 21

A certain amount of confusion is spinning around your mind. Normally dealing with fast changes isn’t a problem for you. Even so, big adjustment­s take a little longer. Do things in your own time and you won’t be dictated to anyway, will you? Always sensible but also impatient, be your own best friend this week. Consider all the possibilit­ies before you act on instinct. Your Luck: When you need to make a decision this week, sound out those that you can trust to be honest.

Libra September 24 – October 23

Some things that need to be done can only be done by you. The usual back-up crowd may not be there, at least not in the flesh. Pretending to be strong often leads to being strong. After all, it’s mainly a matter of confidence. Facing challenges will only make you more successful and well informed. Your Luck: Too much disruption may have dented your well-balanced picture of yourself: you the peacemaker, you the problem-solver, you the loving friend.

Aquarius January 21 – February 19

Offers coming your way brighten up future prospects. Maybe you feel guilty about starting to enjoy yourself? No need. Hold-ups have taken quite enough of your time and opportunit­ies. A friend may have the right idea but it may need a bit of tweaking. Don’t be shy about putting your ideas forward. After all, everyone could benefit, couldn’t they? Your Luck: The urge to be near water could be anything from a gin and tonic to a yacht race. Either way it’s pretty strong!

Gemini May 22 – June 21

Still struggling with what is the ‘ new normal’? Things will gradually settle down. In your mind it may still be ‘high alert’ time. To balance this, get physical! Whatever your form of exercise, get stuck into it. Even computer-based activity can work if you’re intense and interested enough in it. Being exhausted at the end of the day can help you sleep. Your Luck: Finding it hard to take one day at a time? Need to surge forward with plotting and planning? Well, why not?

Scorpio October 24 – November 22

Go all out to make a good impression. That someone is watching your performanc­e you can be sure. That you know who it is may not be so clear. If this makes you feel uneasy, remember that good intentions are all around you. Family seem closer than ever but a friend is the one who impresses this week. Such loyalty is to be applauded. Your Luck: By making a few financial adjustment­s everything can be brought into line for you. Just be determined to be sensible.

Pisces February 20 – March 20

Recent confusion is not helping you to get back on an even keel. Those who might help seem to be flounderin­g themselves. Get out a pad and pencil (or the digital equivalent) and write down what you do and don’t want. Then plan how you’ll get it moving. Sounds simple? That’s the joy of it! Plan made, anchors away and full steam ahead! Your Luck: Being bold and determined gets you everywhere this week. The weekend in particular can surprise you with innovation­s.

Cancer June 22 – July 22

Chances are that you have gone through a cleansing process over the last few months and I don’t mean the housework! No, your agitated brain has said ‘enough is enough’. Getting rid of any negative things or people in your life gives the chance of a new beginning. Say ‘thank you’ nicely to those who have helped you but move forward swiftly. This is a time for you to shine. Your Luck: Watch out for old beliefs and past mistakes waiting to trip you up. Shine a light on them and move on.
