YOUR STARS

Your Year Ahead - Taurus: As much as you’d like to retain a sense of stability, right now the cosmos seems determined to cause unpredictability. This is your year to discover that change can bring blessings. If offered an opportunity, don’t hesitate – this advantage won’t arise again for some time. You’re also better equipped to deal with financial issues so sort out money problems now and you’ll be in the black by year’s end. Aries (March 21 - April 20) The week assaults you with ludicrous demands – enough to test even the most resourceful Aries. Paperwork, bureaucracy and red tape are nightmare enough. There’s also a brimming e-mail in-tray. And that’s just the half of it. Prioritise, and delegate. Taurus (April 21 - May 20) To say that you’ve had a better time in relationships would be an understatement. If you feel that you’ve been wronged, stand your ground. Here’s your chance to scissor any frayed relationships or alternatively, go about mending them. The choice, as they say, is yours. Gemini (May 21 to June 21) Face it, Gemini – it’s money, and how well we handle it that plays a big part in our daily lives. And right now you probably have a few leaks in the financial pool. Happily, extra capital comes from surprising sources – and generous ones at that. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Life-changing experiences can come in many ways. Perhaps something or someone has been a catalyst for change and you’re forced to rethink your life. Use this experience to trash old rules and regimes. Perhaps it’s time to start anew. You are the author of your own destiny. Leo (July 23 - August 23) You need to sort out what’s fact and what’s not, especially if someone’s spreading unkind rumours. At the best of times, gossip doesn’t do anyone any favours and the backlash can be ugly. In any case, it’s beneath your truthloving Leo dignity. Virgo (August 24 - September 22) Definitely a Virgo kind of week. The planets power into top gear and take you along for the ride. You’re encouraged to work on intuition, with few questions asked. How wonderful to be able to act on ideas, without your usual procrastination. Love also features. Libra (September 23 - October 23) The problem with being different is that not everyone understands you, and most people generally prefer what they know. This means some Librans may feel on the outer fringe for the moment, but trust your instincts. You’re just ahead of the times. Push on patiently. Scorpio (October 24 - November 22) You often keep others guessing, assuming that if someone cares enough – they’ll either know your mind or ask the right questions. This week is different – you volunteer information, minus the sugarcoating and clever word play. That’s refreshing, and appreciated. Sagittarius (November 23 - December 21) Until family problems are sorted, nothing will make much sense. This week’s planets remind you that charity begins at home. Your desire to make a mark on the world is admirable, but first you must give your full attention to a troubling situation at home. Capricorn (December 22 - January 20) Love may not offer an entirely smooth ride, with some days being just plain scratchy. Should a relationship end, head towards the exit sign knowing it’s for the best. Happier moments, though, could see some Capricorns in the arms of a new suitor. How delightful. Aquarius (January 21 - February 18) Unbridled is how to best describe this week. With passions reeling between agony and ecstasy, you’re on something of an emotional bender. And this can only mean that you’re ready to offload a fair few of those inhibitions.the outcome promises to be spectacular. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Some look to the future. Others live for the day. It’s the past that usually gets a bad rap. Not so now. Some feel dewy-eyed for love gone by. Amazing, too, how the minute you think of someone, they show up out of the blue. Synchronicity, perhaps?
