Horoscopes
AQUARIUS 21 JANUARY – 19 FEBRUARY
You’re about to be offered the chance to show off your creative skills within a competitive area. Although you have the back-up of a Jupiter-Mars liaison you can’t afford to come across as haughty. A little modesty will go a long way, especially with regard to one particular person who could influence what happens next LUCKY DAY: THE 2ND. Rather than take too much on trust you ask questions.
PISCES 20 FEBRUARY – 20 MARCH
Romantic, leisure-time or off-duty episodes are on their way. But you mustn’t be too harsh on someone close who is so risk-averse that anything you suggest is subjected to a lot of scrutiny. Make sure that you’re not so keen to bring about changes that you’re in danger of flouting the rules or being reckless. LUCKY DAY: THE 22ND. Embarking on a journey rids you of cares of the past.
ARIES 21 MARCH – 20 APRIL
Refuse to be disappointed by the apparent apathy of colleagues or associates regarding your future plans. There’s much you can do for yourself before having to appeal to them for help. Try to have all relevant data in place by around 27 April when Pluto enters a retrograde phase which could lead to unnecessary hold-ups. LUCKY DAY: THE 12TH. You’re recognised for the love you’ve shown to others.
TAURUS 21 APRIL – 21 MAY
Those urging you to propel yourself into a challenging arena know your true worth. Even so, you’re still likely to have misgivings about whether or not you can perform at your absolute best. Remind yourself that preparedness is everything and that once you make a start you’ll be too busy to let negative thoughts dominate. LUCKY DAY: THE 4TH. Suddenly a whole new world is waiting to be explored.
GEMINI 22 MAY – 21 JUNE
Several individuals might want to squabble about money but unless there are sizeable amounts involved you should keep upsets to a minimum. You are likely to have more important issues to manage at certain times in April when you’ll need to know you’re perceived as someone who can be trusted to get your priorities right. LUCKY DAY: THE 23RD. Your strength and stamina empower you to outwit rivals.
CANCER 22 JUNE – 23 JULY
One minute you’ll be fully focussed on your long-term future and the next minute you’ll be fire-fighting unexpected developments in your private life. None of this need leave you feeling dazed or defeated. But you will have to ensure that you are physically and mentally fit and able to think and function at your best. LUCKY DAY: THE 8TH. Success arrives because of what—not who—you know.
LEO 24 JULY – 23 AUGUST
As you make tentative plans to travel or contact friends in faraway places the voices of doom will insist you’re being over-optimistic. Instead of over-reacting you should share far less information than usual. But hold on to your right to anticipate all the good times you hope to enjoy without becoming irresponsible or ridiculously unrealistic. LUCKY DAY: THE 25TH.
You focus on what’s possible rather than the impossible.
VIRGO 24 AUGUST – 23 SEPTEMBER
Much as you might want to deal with some unfinished business you mustn’t push others out of the way as you do so. You risk coming across as over-controlling unless you recognise the need to pull back and allow people to have their say. Misplaced energy has a habit of making matters worse, not better LUCKY DAY: THE 10TH. There are races to be run and prizes to be won.
LIBRA 24 SEPTEMBER – 23 OCTOBER
Rather than assume that loved ones will support your latest ideas you must be prepared for a certain amount of criticism. With Pluto in conflict with the Sun and Mercury you might wonder whether everybody is picking holes in your arguments on principle. Becoming defensive will get you nowhere. Instead engage with reason and rationale. LUCKY DAY: THE 13TH.
Once you tend to small details, bigger issues disappear.
SCORPIO 24 OCTOBER – 22 NOVEMBER
No one could blame you for wanting to formalise some aspect of an intensely personal relationship. But first you must ensure that you and the other individual involved are on the same page. You might feel that you’re both ready to move ahead quite quickly but some unsolved mysteries and unspoken fears need addressing. Be patient LUCKY DAY: THE 20TH.
By expressing your creativity you score points.
SAGITTARIUS 23 NOVEMBER – 21 DECEMBER
Persuading somebody special that the two of you are entitled to a little luxury and self-indulgence should be made easier by a Venus-Mars connection. Even so, you mustn’t become overbearing if genuine concerns are expressed. As well as being positive and reassuring you must, at the same time, prove that you know how to listen. LUCKY DAY: THE 9TH. Those saying laughter is the best medicine are right.
CAPRICORN 22 DECEMBER – 20 JANUARY
Work or other responsibilities might overwhelm you occasionally. True, there should be generous rewards coming your way provided the outcomes are impressive. Also remember that those loading extra burdens on to your shoulders know what they’re doing and feel sure you can take the strain. If for one moment you think they’re wrong, speak up. LUCKY DAY: THE 14TH. Making vital moves means you get out of a rut.
