Horoscopes

- by Carlos O’Connor

Taurus

April 21 – May 21 A bright and active week, especially around family and friends. The chance to shine socially reminds others of your untapped talents. Working with them brings thanks and a feeling of satisfacti­on, though you never feel that you have done enough. That is to your credit. Let your instincts guide when it comes to an everyday situation. Too much imaginatio­n can throw your emotions off. Your Luck: Stick to the clear facts and you will not go far wrong.

Virgo

August 24 – September 23 Breaking out of a rut is the aim but it can be better achieved. Tackle one thing at a time for long- term success. Not everyone will agree with you and it is worth listening to their views. Remember, you can write your own love story, and not according to ‘ others’. Feeling strong and powerful suits you and is boosted by the planets this week. If you don’t have confidence in your plan, who will? Your Luck: Needing to convince others is useful if you want support.

Capricorn

December 22 – January 20 A crazy but dynamic week sees you running and jumping with optimism. Don’t run and jump? Whistle and hum then! Encourage those who support your attitude and keep away from negative influences. This is a time for you to find your own path and enjoy a new journey! Be ready to admit if you have been too rigid about a practical matter, though this is not a time to give away ground. Your Luck: There is nothing wrong with having a different view.

Gemini

May 22 – June 21 Anyone who tries to control you this week could be in for a shock. Silly distractio­ns will not be tolerated by you and will be rebuffed. Someone who aims to get closer romantical­ly should also watch their step. Do they realise that there is a soft centre? Letting someone get to know you better is fine as long as you are not just showing your good side! Your Luck: Trying to hide something that someone would not like is just a waste of time.

Libra

September 24 – October 23 Going with the flow right now means turning a corner and finding a bright light. Something brings a flash of inspiratio­n and gets your imaginatio­n going. High energy and willingnes­s to learn can bring you into contact with an important mentor. There may have been a certain sluggishne­ss to your social life of late. That Libran tendency to procrastin­ate and take things easy needs kicking into the long grass. Your Luck: Small changes can mean big steps.

Aquarius

January 21 – February 19 A big surge of confidence washes over the whole week. Suddenly feeling free from an old restrictio­n makes you realise that the future is open. Turn the handle of opportunit­y and see what is on offer. Believing in yourself rather than others becomes important. Show the world that you are no April Fool by having the courage to make light of an irritating situation. Your Luck: A feeling of urgency in your love life may mean it is time to ask a question.

Cancer

June 22 - July Someone who has a strong influence on you could be pulling in the same direction without you realising it. Check them out rather than insisting on going it alone. Not everyone is helpful but you are more than capable of doing your best and pulling through. Restlessne­ss around the end of the month could be puzzling. Something small may have been pushed to the back of your mind. Deal with it. Your Luck: Look to those you love for some light relief.

Scorpio

October 24 – November 22 Give yourself time to jot down priorities and to remind others of what they are. Someone who is trying to steer you in a certain direction may think that they are doing you a favour. Point out their mistake if necessary. Investigat­e your feelings. Maybe there have been times of drifting into or out of an emotional situation? Unless a positive attitude is taken, that could continue. Your Luck: Trust your instincts when it comes to a new situation.

Pisces

February 20 – March 20 Although you prefer to stick to what you find familiar, it is a time for exploratio­n in both a physical and emotional sense. Optimism is not always at your shoulder urging you on. Sometimes you have doubts about your capabiliti­es. Dare to dream about the best results. There is nothing to be gained by being negative. Seek those who will give you a boost. Your Luck: Getting a balance and rememberin­g your priorities works wonders.

Leo

July 23 - August 23 Determined to do your best pushing that bit harder can work wonders. Let others know the benefits of your possible success, which they may have overlooked. When others get defensive, turn on the charm! A partner sees you as being cool when you are actually distracted. Some things at work simply need to be said. If not now, then when? Talking to a relative can help. Your Luck: A romantic weekend can soothe even the most ruffled brow!

Sagittariu­s

November 23 – December 21 Outside influences could be taking you in the wrong direction. Rather than cause a fuss it could be better to draw back from arguments. Concentrat­ing on your social and love life brings that feeling of optimism. Spring is in the air! If you are unsure about a certain relationsh­ip, now is the time to consider it carefully. Remember, many things are changed by time. Perhaps the right time will be in the future. Your Luck: Be honest with yourself.
