HOROSCOPE

Aquarius (January 21 - February 18)

Best Day: Thursday Normally, you have no problem telling others when they have overstepped the mark. Someone’s trying to step into your territory, and somehow - you’ve let this happen. Don’t panic, and don’t lose your temper. Calmly address the matter and reclaim your own dominion. Wannabe opponents will soon back off.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Best Day: Tuesday

A look at recent expenditure will probably unveil a record of debt. Clearing the bills is an obvious move - but that’s more easily said than done. Love-wise, the week could bring an almost idyllic companion - deliciously sensuous and sensitive. Coupled Pisceans, too, are more tender towards a partner’s needs, and sharing seems effortless.

Aries (March 21 - April 20)

Best Day: Monday

Should a loved one be pressuring you, don’t oblige out of guilt. You have your own life to lead and sainthood is a tiring road to follow. If you need some clear thinking space - perhaps a few days break might let you reflect from a distance. The planets encourage you to spread your wings and fly preferably somewhere quiet.

Taurus (April 21 - May 20)

Best Day: Friday

The planets push for more honesty at home. If relationships feel strained, talk problems through. For others, the week attempts the sorting out of family feuds. Perhaps, too, painful remnants of childhood demand resolution. Saturn also delivers a busy work schedule. There may be little rest right now, but much should be resolved.

Gemini (May 21 - June 21)

Best Day: Saturday

Not exactly a smooth run, but friction can become your friend with a little bit of self-analysis. Take stock of your life and discard what’s outworn. It may be worthwhile being more open too, as your secretiveness only adds to others’ insecurities. Although you may have nothing to hide, others could still be suspicious.

Cancer (June 22 - July 22)

Best Day: Sunday

If your love life has fallen short of exhilarating, this week finds you searching for new ways to have fun. You’re impassioned, and impatient. Licentious feelings run high - so unlike you, Cancer. Still, don’t feel guilty about sudden attractions or wandering thoughts. We all have the occasional itch to scratch.

Leo

(July 23 - August 23)

Best Day: Monday It could be difficult to differentiate between truth and fiction this week. If asked to referee family feuds, step away. You’ve more pressing issues to address. In all of this, take special care of yourself. Despite feeling energetic, it wouldn’t hurt to make a point of observing good health and safety precautions. Prevention’s always better than cure.

Virgo

(August 24 - September 22)

Best Day: Sunday There are times when you’re sociable, and times when you’re not. The cosmos also introduces unwelcome rivals this week - so at some stage, you could opt for some serious solo hours. There’s much to sort through and contemplate, including your place in life’s grand scheme. No rush. It’s a patient universe we live in.

Libra

(September 23 - October 23)

Best Day: Friday You’re probably still confused, not quite certain whether what happened in recent weeks was a pleasant dream, a nightmare or just fate. Confronted by surprise or suspicion, this week forces you to explore new dimensions of your talents, inner truths and affections. Out of this intense transformation you will emerge, in many ways - reborn.

Scorpio

(October 24 - November 22)

Best Day: Tuesday You need closure which, under normal circumstances may cause tension - but now feels welcoming. Maybe it’s because you’re feeling forgiving. Maybe it’s because others are sincerely sorry. Whatever the case, increased happiness spills over into love and friendship. Persuasive planetary forces also inspire career confidence.

Sagittarius

(November 23 - December 21)

Best Day: Thursday Don’t stand back and let life pass you by. Sagittarius is a fire sign, meaning you have more drive and ambition than most, so this week there can be no more excuses for not getting out into the world and making things happen. Just remember that some things matter, and others don’t. Use your energy wisely.

Capricorn

(December 22 - January 20)

Best Day: Wednesday You have a reputation for conquering your competition with words. Wry, double-edged humour is Capricorn’s style. But if making light of others’ quirks, don’t expect an appreciative audience. Sure, there are times when the world deserves ridicule, but not everyone will get the joke.
