YOUR STARS

Your year ahead – Sagittarius:

Use the year to demonstrate how great you can be. You’re fuelled by ideas and hungry for information, just ensure your facts are straight. The time’s also right to start planning a house move. You have more active involvement with family and can resolve disputes without too much drama. After the new year, singles enjoy romance. It’s not like you to want to commit so quickly, but there are no rules in love – as you soon find out!

Aries (March 21 - April 20)

Should Venus lure you towards financial folly, ignore her temptations. Some say you’re a compulsive shopaholic. While there may be truth to this, somewhere within that spend-happy Aries character lies a smidgen of practicality. Don’t spend what you can’t afford to lose.

Taurus (April 21 - May 20)

This week provides a chance to express unresolved anger – but in a constructive way. Some ties may be broken, but they could just as easily grow in strength. Either way, you feel more empowered to cope with life’s daily concerns. It’s also the ideal time for tying up property deals.

Gemini (May 21 - June 21)

Some Geminis 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.

Cancer (June 22 - July 22)

Suffering from self-imposed struggle? If you’re forcing a situation – don’t. Such action can backfire and, in turn, add to more tension. This isn’t the way to go about creating. Breathe. Stretch. Look at the sky. Life more easily brings success when you’re feeling calm and self-nurtured. Enjoy yourself. Balance is the answer – both in work and play.

Leo (July 23 - August 23)

If there’s an air of envy around you this week, it’s little wonder. The planets are feeling generous towards Leos and that’s bound to put resentful noses out of joint. Do your best to shrug off any taunts, as they’re simply an indication of your obvious potential. Focus on the fun.

Virgo (August 24 - September 22)

Much as you’re trying to keep everything steady, prepare for more disruption. Communications become mangled, travel is tricky and payments are missed. Is someone deliberately sabotaging your efforts? Deeper investigation will shed light on the situation.

Libra (September 23 - October 23)

There’s an old saying that you should never cut what you can untie. Whether this is good advice or old rope is up to you. A new chapter is dawning, one where you’re more independent. Some Librans cut ties, others don’t. Just don’t stay for the wrong reasons.

Scorpio (October 24 - November 22)

When things go wrong, it can be all too easy to blame others. But truth be known, some of the fault is probably your own. So if relationships have felt strained recently, try to make amends. Advice from friends could be helpful – so listen with an open mind and heart.

Sagittarius (November 23 - December 21)

Not so fast, Sagittarius. By all means, push ahead. Just don’t sabotage your chances by being overly enthusiastic. Sometimes when a project gets off to a good start, you’re easily carried away with the momentum. Take that leap of faith only when you feel truly ready.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 20)

You give and give, Capricorn – 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 own desires.

Aquarius (January 21 - February 18)

Early week looks tetchy. Sometimes, though, it’s simply the unfamiliar that feels so daunting – and this pretty much applies to many Sagittarians right now. Learn about what you’re dealing with, and you’ll become more adept as you go. You will win through.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

They’re saying good things about you, and it’s about time. Even so, take advantage of all the good press. New ventures are noticed by a wider audience – so move your ambitions up a notch. You don’t have to talk yourself up. Others will do that for you.
