HOROSCOPE

Aquarius

(Jan 21 - Feb 18) Best Day: Saturday

The cosmos offers you hearty encouragement to catch up with old friends and finally enjoy some time out. Those more carnally inclined should leave your particulars with Venus. This love goddess is ready to point a delightful new someone your way. If considering the thrill of illicit intimacy, carefully weigh up the odds of discovery. Discretion is the key.

Pisces

(Feb 19 - March 20) Best Day: Wednesday

Once you believe in yourself, the sky’s the limit. Admittedly, arriving at this point isn’t always easy. Sure, you may have to compromise in order to maintain harmony. But on no account should you fully give in to others’ expectations if they’re contrary to your principles. Rest assured that the planets, as always, will be around to lend moral support.

Aries

(March 21 - April 20) Best Day: Monday

If you’ve been hoping to reap financial rewards, then you’d better start planting the seeds. Right now, your imagination’s firing, and so is your energy. Just make sure the left hand knows what the right is doing – whether it be yours or someone else’s. Though some cosmic forces might try to slow professional progress, Aries determination wins through.

Taurus

(April 21 - May 20) Best Day: Tuesday

If there’s to be any conflict, look to relationships. Mostly because the planets are meddling where they shouldn’t. Even so, take this chance to express unresolved anger, but in a constructive way. As peace returns towards late week, you again head in a positive direction. But if still feeling unsure, sympathetic friends lend a comforting shoulder.

Gemini

(May 21 - June 21) Best Day: Sunday

Mercury, the planet of communication, is once again moving forward, so use this week to resolve any recent or long standing misunderstandings, confusions or delayed career or business plans. The message with Mercury turning direct is “full speed ahead”. So pay attention: someone or something important is about to enter your life.

Cancer

(June 22 - July 22) Best Day: Friday

Even though those rose tinted glasses are practically sutured on, let reality have a look-in as well. You’re not misguided in your outlook, Cancer, just a tad too idealistic. But no one’s asking you to curb all that lovely optimism, only your expenditure. Mars puts its heavy hand on your shoulder to ensure a slow down on the spending.

Leo

(July 23 - Aug 23) Best Day: Wednesday

You may be tempted to shift the blame onto others and why not, when everyone else is doing the same? It’s a week where there’s little room to manoeuvre. No one in particular is at fault. It’s more a case of each for themselves. And you have every right to follow suit. The upside: business and pleasure entwine.

Virgo

(Aug 24 - Sept 22) Best Day: Thursday

Fulfilment and happiness are near at hand, promising the successful outcome of a venture or relationship. This culmination of events may also indicate material wealth or greater spiritual awareness. Some Virgos start to make plans to buy that dream home or a wonderful new friendship or partnership is on offer.

Libra

(Sept 23 - Oct 23) Best Day: Sunday

You’d better find yourself an extra pair of hands, quick smart. You’re probably needed in more than one place right now. Just take care that others don’t become a burden, either emotionally or financially. At work, you’re steered towards a major professional or romantic turning point. Finally, you’re on the right track.

Scorpio

(Oct 24 - Nov 22) Best Day: Monday

Rampant consumerism could also come to a costly crunch, particularly if you’re financing someone else’s expenses. Mid week reveals your inner psyche. Despite having already made sacrifices, more changes need to be made. Still, if there is a there a lesson here – it’s to learn to forgive and forget. At the same time, pay extra attention to your health.

Sagittarius

(Nov 23 - Dec 21) Best Day: Saturday

While all is not lost, something might be. Your mind is drawn in many directions and as you become less focused, it can be difficult to keep an eye on everything, especially finances. It’s been said that many hands make light work, but some of them can be attached to overbearing individuals. If someone’s complicating a situation, go solo.

Capricorn

(Dec 22 - Jan 20) Best Day: Thursday

The word failure isn’t in the Capricorn vocabulary. This week, though, life could become a tad more difficult. If things don’t go to plan, relax. Try to calm that worried mind of yours. Sure, there’ll be some changes, but endings often bring fabulous new beginnings. Use this week to push your ideas and projects ahead a notch. Get one step ahead of the rest.
