YOUR STARS

Your Year Ahead – Pisces: This next year encourages you to follow your heart. You may be feeling restless, but don’t try to force things to happen. It’s often easier to go with the flow. Should obstacles appear, view them as opportunities. Life is a dance, so choose the rhythm that offers you the greatest joy, and take comfort in the fact that all paths lead to the same place – your greatest good. Aries (March 21 – April 20) Your mind is racing, your heart pounding, and you’re ready for change. This week, too, you finally realise how truly amazing you are. There’s a special spirit in all of us that some suppress. But you’re now given planetary permission to shine, so do just that. Taurus (April 21 – May 20) Forget your usual Taurean caution. This week your need for fun is on a par with any of the more fiery signs. This means non-stop action; and, delightfully, even long-held plans may be detoured by a surprise. Stay flexible for unexpected events, especially the loving kind. Gemini (May 21 – June 21) It might be difficult to stay objective about a current situation, but that’s exactly what the planets ask. Don’t carry your own prejudices into the debate, and the week should end on a happy note. Everyone’s values are different, and others have a right to their own opinions. Cancer (June 22 – July 22) During this week, life may feel overwhelming. You may be unsure of what steps to take next. You may even be unsure about what just happened. You’re being reminded to believe in who you truly are, to trust your heart and know that you are on the right path. Leo (July 23 – August 23) Recent difficulties are behind you. You’re one of the most playful of the zodiac signs, so rediscover the joy of laughter. When in good form, few can match Leo’s optimism. Late week could also bring a new chapter at work. Finally, some well-deserved rewards. Virgo (August 24 – September 22) Some Virgos could find it difficult to balance their emotions this week – one minute feeling up, and then down. A lack of confidence could also cause you to defer important decisions. Health may not be strong. If so, don’t multi-task. Haste will definitely make waste. Libra (September 23 – October 23) You give and give, Libra – often at the expense of your own well-being. This week, step away from those who expect you to do all the heavy lifting. The time’s right to focus on yourself. It’s amazing what you can learn by carefully, and quietly, analysing your deepest desires. Scorpio (October 24 – November 22) Intense emotions either strengthen relationships or bring about confrontation. Perhaps it’s time to cast your line in different waters, either in your personal or professional waters. The upside is that finances flow more freely. A time to comfort shop, perhaps? Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21) Profits seem to be on the rise and we all know that luxury-loving Sagittarians are happier when financially secure. What’s more, you’re blessed with a knack for generating great deals. For now, your instincts are right on the money. Enjoy the extra cash. Capricorn (December 22 – January 20) You’re tired, Capricorn, and ready to call time out. Despite exhaustion, stay focused for just a few more days. With all the madness currently surrounding our planet, someone has to stay in control. Like it or not, for now you’re cast in the role of cosmic custodian. Aquarius (January 21 – February 18) Expect guarded progress, Aquarius. While your love life’s on the improve, there are still loose ends that need tidying. Areas of caution include friendships, mostly due to someone else’s stress. This week is all about your ability to support, without judgement. Pisces (February 19 – March 20) Success is possible, Pisces. For starters, you’re inspired, so you have plenty of ingenious ideas. Next, you have a truckload of energy, which you want to put to good use. More importantly, you’re a true die-hard. Anyone else would have given up by now.
