Your stars

Your heavenly destiny for the week April 9 - 15

Aries MAR 21 – APR 20

Scheduling in some relaxation may seem indulgent right now, but you need it. Clear your head with a long walk, then plan a few catch-ups for the weekend – chatty stars should help to cement a friendship. If you’ve become enmeshed in a power struggle, a lightbulb moment may be a catalyst for change.

Leo JUL 24 – AUG 23

Good things are heading your way. Under April’s expansive sky, many Lions will receive a celestial helping hand. There could even be a long-awaited victory or breakthrough on the cards. If stress levels are spiking, plan a weekend away, and satisfy your senses with good food and music.

Sagittarius NOV 23 – DEC 22

Your stars are filled with intrigue! Try to get things out in the open before a trivial misunderstanding ruins something special. Steer clear of risky ventures this week – especially if large sums are involved – and inject a bit of fun into life. An outdoorsy pastime could be a hit with the whole family.

Taurus APR 21 – MAY 21

Life’s simple pleasures are your best tonic. If recent events have caused you stress, relax in the kitchen or lift the mood with music and fragrant oils. Shopping sprees might prove tempting, but the buzz will be short-lived, so organise a debrief with friends instead. Their words of wisdom should resonate.

Virgo AUG 24 – SEP 23

Ready to tie up a few loose ends? Late April looks busy, but the more organised you are, the more successful you’ll be. Canny types might even consider a new enterprise – just remember to keep your plans flexible, at least until next week. If you’ve been feeling sentimental, revisit classic books or films you love.

Capricorn DEC 23 – JAN 20

Mars has got you all fired up – just don’t direct your anger at the wrong person. Let off some steam with a DIY project or tackle that back garden. On the flip side, April’s passionate patterns may work wonders after dark. Singles could hit the jackpot, while couples might rekindle that original spark.

Gemini MAY 22 – JUN 21

Try to be patient. After next week’s new moon, the pieces of the puzzle should fall into place. But for the time being, avoid big decisions and spend time with supportive people. Better yet, sneak out of town for a laid-back weekend or, if you’re looking for romance, visit a local venue and let your witty side shine.

Libra SEP 24 – OCT 23

You can’t complain life’s boring! This week, the hardest part will be making decisions, especially when you’re buzzing with ideas. Conversations might be intense, but feelings of anger or discontent should spark action. April’s dynamic patterns could catapult couples into a new era.

Aquarius JAN 21 – FEB 19

Gossip levels could hit fever pitch this week, but don’t get caught up in personal vendettas or you’ll be tarred with the same brush. If the drama’s getting to you, unplug the phone and head for the hills. Peaceful settings should help to clear your mind. As a bonus, these beautiful places could set the scene for love.

Cancer JUN 22 – JUL 23

Feeling tense? With so much uncertainty swirling around you, that’s understandable. Schedule in some downtime and recharge as life is about to get busy! Opinions may be flying, but changes made through April should leave couples feeling more in sync. Book a pamper session.

Scorpio OCT 24 – NOV 22

As motives become clear, you might find yourself being the voice of reason or becoming a mediator at work. But don’t feel guilty as you could make a real difference. On the health and fitness front, next week’s new moon should spur you on and make you feel more energised. Get yourself ready for action.

Pisces FEB 20 – MAR 20

money zone starts to heat up, April could prove to be a real turning point. Be prepared by making a list of financial goals. A friend’s antics may be driving you up the wall, but don’t be pushed into saviour mode. If you need to relax and unwind, cruise the markets for something arty.
