HOROSCOPE

Aquarius

(Jan 21 - Feb 18) Best Day: Tuesday

Life’s harsher lessons now turn to your advantage. And although you still feel the pressure of responsibility, you won’t lose your sense of fun. Work and play overlap. The cosmos also heightens financial instinct, inspiring you to find imaginative ways to improve income. And there’s truth in that old cliché: “It’s not what you know, but who you know.”

Pisces

(Feb 19 - March 20) Best Day: Friday

You’re encouraged to look after your own interests for a while. The fear of letting others down is often a strong incentive to carry on, but you must acknowledge that you’re only human – and a hardworking one at that. Slipping into cruise mode doesn’t equal opting out, so give yourself plenty of breaks this week – preferably solo.

Aries

(March 21 - April 20) Best Day: Tuesday

Feel overworked and underpaid? Not to worry. Recognition and rewards will soon follow. Business travel is likely, as is good financial fortune. The time is also right for serious and disciplined work, which you’re more than capable of handling. Better still, all this dedication doesn’t flow just one way: the more you give, the more you get.

Taurus

(April 21 - May 20) Best Day: Sunday

While others map out a clear plan for the coming week, Taureans mull over the past. Recently, life has suffered a reality check. Seeing your inner strength put on the rack can be a queasy experience, but there are always lessons to be learned. Indeed, what you sacrificed in the past is soon returned tenfold. Life takes on more energy.

Gemini

(May 21 - June 21) Best Day: Wednesday

Chances are, you’ve felt fettered by regulations lately, but you’re now given a chance to break free. Where others might hesitate before the fear of an uncertain future, you lead by example and show no doubt that you’re ready to move on. This could mean letting some old grievances drop, so be ready to forgive and forget.

Cancer

(June 22 - July 22) Best Day: Thursday

Your mind is drawn in many directions this week, making it difficult to keep an eye on everything. Joint finances, in particular. And there’s nothing like financial woes to try a relationship. At work, others may cloud your judgement. It’s been said that many hands make light work, but some of them may be attached to highly opinionated individuals.

Leo

(July 23 - Aug 23) Best Day: Monday

Get ready for special treats to come your way. Enjoy every moment of feeling pampered and spoiled. At work, too, your patience should finally be rewarded as an important breakthrough is achieved. A timely bonus could also make it easier to pay debts. Bills first, luxuries later. Sometimes, everything just seems to fall into place.

Virgo

(Aug 24 - Sept 22) Best Day: Saturday

Looks like a huge financial leap is on the horizon. Best avenues of investment are land and property; jobs that enable you to cut down your commuting hours or perhaps work from home. And don’t be surprised if friends or family take more interest in your wellbeing. Some may give support without you even being aware of it. Go where life takes you.

Libra

(Sept 23 - Oct 23) Best Day: Friday

If recent efforts have felt like all pain and no gain, don’t lose heart. This isn’t the first time you’ve battled against the odds. So file mistakes under forget, and keep trying for that breakthrough. Take comfort in the fact that there’s a cosmic support team assembling this week, just for you. A relationship may benefit from an honest heart to heart.

Scorpio

(Oct 24 - Nov 22) Best Day: Wednesday

Scorpios appreciate life’s more dramatic moments. So you’ll love this spirited week. Matters of love and work steal the opening scenes. The cosmos also creates a strong desire to express what you’re most passionate about. Do whatever it is that makes you feel truly alive. The outcome promises to be sensational and satisfying.

Sagittarius

(Nov 23 - Dec 21) Best Day: Monday Sagittarians have little cause for complaint, bringing a contrast from recent chaos. You become increasingly ambitious; and goals are more easily reached. This kind of confidence can’t help but bring success. That said, if you take the time for some mischievous play, you just may break a few rules along the way – delightfully so.

Capricorn

(Dec 22 - Jan 20) Best Day: Thursday

Look after your health, Capricorn. Sure, you can have fun, but sometimes moderation is the key. Thankfully, the cosmos doesn’t apply the same rules to romance. Here, you can be as playful as you wish. Just don’t place your all cupids in the same basket. Recognise affairs that don’t stand a chance, especially the secretive kind.
