Horoscopes

- by Carlos O’Connor

Cancer June 22 – July 22

There’s a spring in your step and others are noticing it. Questions will be asked and opinions given. You know it’s not serious but you love to be a tease! A stimulatin­g conversati­on midweek leads you to change your mind about a basic belief. Your future is about to be influenced by someone strong yet soothing. Trust your instincts but hold on to your bank balance. Your Luck: Finances are important, so keep a keen eye on them. Soonest sorted, soonest mended.

Scorpio October 24 – November 22

Things are quieter around you this week and you have the chance to take stock. Who you live with, who you work with: do you feel the urge for change? It turns out that someone knows you as well as you know yourself. Rather than being upset about it, see what can be changed. You know your answer to a pertinent question. Will you tell? Your Luck: Don’t expect to agree with a loved one all the time but remember they are allowed to have their own opinion!

Pisces February 20 – March 20

A bit of moodiness surfaces midweek when, after a slow start, people expect too much of you. Maybe they don’t understand how much you have to deal with at the moment. Why not explain that you have to give priority to someone who needs it? In the present situation people are more likely to be sympatheti­c to the needs of others, aren’t they? Your Luck: When you feel like scowling, smile instead. Suddenly you’ll find your sense of fun has returned!

Leo July 23 – August 23

A stimulatin­g week when energy and ambition are high. When discussing business, be clear about your obligation­s and don’t take on too much. Curb your enthusiasm by not expecting others to keep up with you. Taking control could breed dissent but be firm. There’s restlessne­ss at the weekend but also a chance to regain what you’ve lost. Your Luck: Stirring up an area where you feel not enough is being done can give someone a headache. Not you, though!

Sagittariu­s November 23 – December 21

Going round and round in circles? Sometimes it seems like that. An emotional involvemen­t seems to have come at the wrong time. Be firm even if it feels uncomforta­ble. Maybe it’s time to get that list out again and put everything in order of importance. Certainly we all need some sort of plan at the moment and maybe we need to stick to it too. You’ll do your best. Your Luck: You may decide to go your own way on a certain matter. Is this really the time to stir things up?

Aries March 21 – April 20

Spring has come in quietly for you for a change, which could lead to disappoint­ment. Strength of character makes you feel indestruct­ible but you’re only human. Look after your health and be prepared to accept help. It can lift stress and put you on the right path. Nothing exciting at the weekend so make a point of getting some rest. Your Luck: There are good reasons to pat yourself on the back. Others appreciate you, even if they’re slow to show it.

Virgo August 24 – September 23

As finances continue to settle your everyday life becomes easier if not perfect. Expectatio­ns are high for you but the willingnes­s to be patient serves you well. If there’s a strong romantic interest on your mind, speak out now. A rash decision, however, could ruin a good relationsh­ip. It may be better to go with the flow and see how things develop. Your Luck: Enthusiast­ic as you are, take a subtle approach in romance. Be sure before leaping ahead.

Capricorn December 22 – January 20

One day things seem too quiet and then there’s suddenly so much to deal with! At the moment it’s not always possible to remain in charge of what’s going on around you. That’s not a failure but more a fact of life. Be kind to yourself and, if you can rearrange an obligation, that may be best for you. Being paid a compliment? Accept it with a smile as you probably deserve it! Your Luck: Some kind of meditation or other quiet pleasure at the weekend can revive your spirits.

Taurus April 21 – May 21

With everything blossoming, spirits are high or low. Not much in between this week. You’re in charge of your emotions and need to be strong. Businesswi­se you need to be seen to be in charge even though not much is happening. Always appear to be moving forward even though you are, in fact, treading water. That really can be tiring. Your Luck: Progress is on the way so do keep your stores of patience and humour well stocked. Keep pressing on.

Libra September 24 – October 23

Let romance be your priority in what is otherwise a quieter week. There’s no need to be all things to all people. Indeed, doing so could see you burn out! The urge to throw a party needs to be curbed, as much for others as your own family and crowd. There are those who will tell you that some matters can wait. Actually, socially, many can! Your Luck: Given time to think, it occurs that you need not believe everything that you hear. Of course you need to check.

Aquarius January 21 – February 19

A stimulatin­g week when your energy is high. Just as well if you have a lot to do! Even so, avoid taking on more than you can manage. Expect understand­ing when you have to delay or say ‘no’. A complicati­on on the home front is more easily dealt with if you can be sympatheti­c and try hard to understand. Some situations are just not that simple. Your Luck: Clearly someone’s had their nose put out of joint. Help them to breathe easy again with a few words.
