HOROSCOPE

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

Let go of any self-defeating thoughts. You may feel that you lack direction, but that’s only because you’ve yet to choose your direction. Start a vision board, write lists, make plans and be open to following when a path opens for you. If you feel that guidance is needed, ask friends or family for help. You are not alone.

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

Ever gone to pull a loose thread, only to find the whole thing unravelling? Stop picking at minor flaws or life may start to come loose. While delays can be disappointing, you’re probably not ready to proceed right now. Instead, enjoy the week with those you love. Today makes tomorrow’s happy memories, so make the best of life in the here and now.

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

It’s not a week for jumping to conclusions or making hasty judgments. You’re being put to the test, so wait until all the facts are known. Neither should you do or say anything that will be seen as a challenge, so choose your words carefully – a slip of the tongue could send an already tense situation past the point of recovery.

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

Expect life to change. Destiny or synchronicity, call it what you like, it’s about to happen. If you have important choices to make, trust your intuition. Do you feel that events seem to be progressing with little input from you? If so, trust the process. Just as importantly, most Taureans are now surrounded by people who can help.

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

It’s true, magic can happen, simply by staying positive. Energy follows thought, Gemini. What you think, will be. Be kind enough to give yourself what you need. Make time for nature, massages or friendships. It’s been too long since you allowed yourself some time off, simply for the sake of fun and being pampered.

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

What’s the rush, Cancer? Stop worrying whether or not you can keep up with competitors. Too much dashing here and there could lead to mistakes. Don’t panic about what you can’t get done, just do what you can. That’s all the universe asks of you right now. Friends should also prove more supportive than usual.

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

Maybe you’ve felt a little heavy of mind or body lately. With so much to do, there’s been little chance to look after yourself. Maintaining a routine isn’t easy, but sometimes necessary. If your eating habits have become a problem, avoid so-called miracle diets. Common sense should tell you sensible eating and exercise are usually the only solutions.

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

A busy week ahead, with the focus on work. If you feel that others are taking advantage, then review your position. Decide what you really want to do and don’t settle for second best. Health issues also take priority, so look after the most important person in your life – you. Time to start a new fitness regime.

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

Bolt all doors that may invite invasion of privacy. Your financial and personal affairs, in particular, will stand more chance of success if they stay hidden. Guard your secrets and money well. Someone wants to take advantage. Stay focused, or you may find yourself misled or even worse – cheated.

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

Cancel that appointment with your therapist. Your recent frenzied behaviour is just the effect of some disruptive planets. Instead of worrying about your uncharacteristic conduct, figure out how to benefit from being outrageous. If throwing a well-timed tantrum can help you get what you want, use the drama to your advantage.

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

In facing personal demons, this week you seek a deeper meaning to your life. But keep a few kilos of salt handy for the words of false prophets. If pressured, send out clear signals that no one has the right to impose their ideas or actions on you. Superficial friendships or relationships will no longer satisfy your emotional needs.

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

It seems as if the entire population is away with the pixies, and you’re the only one making any sense. Trying to get a flicker of genuine reasoning could be difficult. Either wait until everyone’s back in focus or pack a bag and disappear to more relaxing surroundings. For singles, pursuit of pleasure takes priority.
