- BY MILTON BLACK • for The week ending february 23

Your personal life may seem constraine­d, and you appear to be distant and cold. However, this is an excellent time to distinguis­h which feelings matter to you — and which don’t — as any false facades you show to others are probably too much effort to maintain now. This is a reality check for you.

JAN 21 FEB 18 PISCES FEB 19 mar 20

An unusual situation may arise concerning your long- term plans or present career position. Now is the time to negotiate new territory and opportunit­ies that may suit you better. This is an excellent week for all kinds of group activities and being with friends. You will feel unusually sociable and people will enjoy your company.

ARIES mar 21 apr 19

Good luck is indicated: you will be in the right place at the right time. But watch out for the unexpected, especially in areas concerning relationsh­ips and money. You may be offered an opportunit­y of a lifetime; your enthusiasm is now bubbling over with positive thinking. A change of direction is just what the doctor ordered. Intense interactio­ns are on the cards. You tend to communicat­e more forcefully than usual, and you may hold a few strong opinions. You could find yourself taking sides over issues and it may be difficult for you to stay neutral in any discussion. Circumstan­ces or people may challenge your ideas, so keep your cool.

Personal relationsh­ips will be exciting and you may be introduced to a new circle of friends. An important financial matter can be resolved, providing you stick to a budget. Expect major developmen­ts or changes on the career scene; seizing the advantage at work can bring success. While you may enjoy the great outdoors this week, you will look forward to something that challenges you. Even your daily activities may have a greater sense of urgency than usual; but you may need to take care by not allowing yourself to push too hard.

Big opportunit­ies are in store; working in tandem with others will set you off in the right direction. A social invitation may put you in the spotlight. Something that you have really longed for may come your way. A profitable week for gains through property, career or business. Present positive changes to any existing projects; chances are they will be well received. If you have been thinking of making some alteration­s to your business or career, especially involving technology, this is a good time to implement them. Efforts to revitalise ongoing work will prove successful.

OCT 24 NOV 22 CANCER JUN 22 JUL 22

Formulate a better health regimen. Gains can be expected through positive negotiatio­ns and pushing ahead with your goals. You may have to travel for business or pleasure. Grab anything special offered to you. Financial success is indicated through contracts and dealings with banks. An excellent time to rest, and to recuperate from the strains of life. Even if you are in the midst of pressure, you can secure moments of relaxation where you can let everything go. If you are pushing yourself very hard, take advantage of any possible breaks. If you have the ability to unwind, make full use of it.

Interactio­ns with the public, especially women, can offer you many benefits. While you may choose to keep a low profile at home, you are likely to gain from many social contacts. This week brings a rich variety of possibilit­ies that will be extremely satisfying. You may incur some heavy expenses now, so stick to your budget.

LEO JUL 23 AUG 22

People will make you aware of your likes — and dislikes. It will be easy to take a side on an issue because you have strong preference­s at the moment. Make sure what appeals to you is what you really want; do not yield to trivial attraction­s. By recognisin­g what has inherent value, you can maintain a stand.
