TAURUS

APRIL 20 – MAY 20 Mental Mercury makes a U-turn to start its backwards movement through your sign this week. While this is an appropriat­e time to think twice, you might have to guard against being brought to a halt – especially if you’re a Taurus who likes to chew things over before making a move. It seems your long-term goals and wishes are up for re-evaluation. It’s time to be proactive and to make changes if and where necessary. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 18, 12, 35, 24, 48, 17

GEMINI

MAY 21 – JUNE 20 Your planet, Mercury, starts its backward movement this week, making it a good time to mull things over. It’s time to re-evaluate your work ethics and plans or refresh your skills to promote your profession­al life. Unexpected events might throw a spanner in the works so try to avoid spreading yourself too thin – and don’t have too many irons in the fire. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 17, 45, 49, 27, 15, 31

CANCER

JUNE 21 – JULY 21 It’s a week where balance is the key to safeguard you against emotional ups and downs. Whether profession­al obligation­s are getting the better of you or you have too much to contend with on the domestic front, you might be prone to feeling out of sorts. Take time out for periods of rest and relaxation amid all the activities to enable you to ride the waves. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 31, 28, 26, 32, 41, 13

LEO

JULY 22 – AUG 22 Communicat­ive Mercury is starting its backwards motion in your profession­al horoscope, cautioning you to count your words and tread gently in terms of career interactio­ns. It’s a week where power games can undermine your goals. Too much pushing might be counterpro­ductive. Promise less and over-deliver – and don’t blow your own horn. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 15, 4, 36, 33, 19, 46

VIRGO

AUG 23 – SEPT 22 Your planet, Mercury, turns retrograde this week. This is no big cause for worry, though. As a Virgo who’s likely to cross T’s and dot I’s it’s most unlikely you’ll slip up, but it’s worth a double check. Since it’s a week where prevention is better than cure, allow for delays and have a Plan B, just in case things don’t go the way you’d like. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 13, 38, 29, 34, 23, 14

LIBRA

SEPT 23 – OCT 22 It’s a week to re-evaluate your health habits, lifestyle and overall wellbeing. This doesn’t only mean keeping your sweet tooth in check, but also doing enough exercise and maintainin­g a healthy balance between work and play. It’s also important to cultivate a positive outlook, be inspired and replenish your soul with uplifting experience­s. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 41, 11, 47, 43, 25, 40

SCORPIO

OCT 23 – NOV 21 Mercury, master of the mind and director of the tongue, is retrograde in your love horoscope this week. If mismanaged it could result in misunderst­andings between you and your partner. If need be, it’s a good time to express regrets, repair wounds and restore trust. It’s a time where words can hurt or heal – so use yours wisely. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 46, 16, 6, 30, 44, 37

SAGITTARIU­S

NOV 22 – DEC 20 It’s a week where it will be all too easy to overextend yourself, especially if you’re a Sagittariu­s with a tendency to go over the top. Try not to bite off more than you can chew. Also, keep an eye on your budget as leisure activities and fun can drain your pocket. Remember, you don’t always have to be the one to pick up the bill. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 19, 7, 10, 5, 20, 22

CAPRICORN

DEC 21 – JAN 20 Although your profession­al life might be teeming with events and prospects, family life seems to be the most important thing to you. Pay attention to your loved ones and enjoy their company. It’s a good time to arrange an outing or just spend quality time together at home. A reunion with a sibling or the homecoming of a child might also be on the cards. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 14, 39, 2, 20, 30, 5

AQUARIUS

JAN 21 – FEB 18 Travelling seems to be on the cards this week, whether for business or pleasure, locally or abroad. Chances are it will be an intellectu­ally stimulatin­g experience, broadening your horizons and expanding your knowledge. It’s advisable to double-check your itinerary and allow for delays. Your plans could be undermined by unforeseen events. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 23, 1, 9, 22, 34, 43

PISCES

FEB 19 – MARCH 20 You might find yourself at the mercy of others’ whims this week which might be overwhelmi­ng – even for a free-flowing Pisces. Both at work or with friends, you could feel pressured by others. The retrograde motion of networking Mercury might make matters worse, so opt for an escape route – spend time alone and daydream. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 40, 21, 8, 44, 32, 33
