HOROSCOPE

Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 18) Best Day: Friday

Sharing the brighter and more affectionate side of your character comes naturally this week, and you’re more drawn towards risk and adventure. So, if unexpected offers come sailing in, you’re keen to hop on board. Fortunately, instinct will help you negate any obstacles as you intuitively sail in the right direction.

Pisces (Feb 19 - March 20) Best Day: Tuesday

You’re exhausted Pisces, and it’s a fair bet that relationship issues need sorting. But a chirpier Mercury turns your attention away from life’s traumas. Give yourself permission to shift from to solitary, and back again; depending on your mood. Both modes of operation will work for you now. Take time out for some pampering, too.

Aries (March 21 - April 20) Best Day: Saturday

When individuals are drawn to each other, the energies can occasionally be unstable. Sometimes, it’s two steps forward and one step back. The right balance for love to bloom takes patience. Even if you just achieve a friendship, there’s no loss. Just more love. Should you need to applaud another’s good fortune, please do. Your support matters.

Taurus (April 21 - May 20) Best Day: Sunday

Now that Mercury moves forward again, over the next few days you are free to sign contracts, schedule vital meetings, have significant conversations and make important decisions or purchases. Remain confident as you push ahead with anything that requires communication or forward planning. You’re back in control.

Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Best Day: Saturday

If you’ve spent the last three weeks feeling mentally scrambled, hampered or just plain indecisive, relief is near. It only takes a few days of Mercury being back on track for you to notice the difference. From here on out this mercurial planet will get stronger every day, as will you. Now it’s time to take action based on new insights learned over recent weeks.

Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Best Day: Wednesday

Our lives are full of opportunities to start over; however, every so often there’s a potent energy in the air that gives us a turbocharged boost and makes new beginnings far easier to accomplish. Now that Mercury steps forward again, forward planning is the key to a firm future, so this week investigate ways to make your life grow. Money’s no object.

Leo (July 23 - Aug 23) Best Day: Friday

Life can be tough. Still, we must all assume that better times lie ahead. Lucky for you, a forward-moving Mercury does too. Your professional standing is in line for a boost, with opportunities coming from unusual sources. Indeed, being in the right place and making the right contacts are important ingredients to current success – so just go for it!

Virgo (Aug 24 - Sept 22) Best Day: Sunday

It doesn’t matter whether you focus current attentions on travel, moving house, career or love – you can expect some positive changes. Some say you’re impatient. Possibly, but only regarding the trivialities of life. The strong resolve you’ve had to call on in recent times will now make you much more confident. You won’t be disappointed.

Libra (Sept 23 - Oct 23) Best Day: Thursday

If you’ve felt overburdened with responsibilities in recent times, a fast-moving Mercury lifts your mood. Expect a busy social scene and an equally agile love life. With finances also improving, you’re not averse to the occasional spending spree. No surprises, then, if loved ones benefit from your generosity. Travel if you can – perhaps a cosy break-for-two?

Scorpio (Oct 24 - Nov 22) Best Day: Monday

If you’re feeling restless and drumming your fingers for action, a happier Mercury should supply it. In other words, you have planetary permission to prosper and enjoy. This extends to the romantic arena too. An irresistible magnetism keeps love on its toes, so don’t be surprised if someone’s eager to grab your exclusive attention.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 21) Best Day: Tuesday

It’s a Sagittarian kind of week. Mercury is on the move, and so are you. Don’t worry too much about formalities – it’s your spirit that others will notice. Should you find yourself up against equally determined minds, stop and listen. You could actually learn from other opinions. But it’s not all work. Social invitations no longer need polite avoidance.

Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 20) Best Day: Thursday

Patient Capricorns should finally hear news which puts an end to frustrating delays. Life feels anything but dull. It’s also a major money week, with cash flowing in as well as out. Neglected romance should strengthen. Singles feel more confident about flaunting their assets. Something for everyone, it seems.
