Your stars
LIBRA
24 September
– 23 October Librans like former
XFactor judging colleagues Simon Cowell and Sharon Osbourne have been working hard recently and should be thinking about the need to be gentle with themselves. You really shouldn’t take on any more responsibility when you already have lots to do.
CAPRICORN
22 December
– 20 January
You’ve always been practical but you also like to feel you can be romantic too. Your eyes are opened to the reality of a close relationship. A person you trusted is not as honest as you thought. It’s upsetting to want to see the best in someone, only to realise they have a side they haven’t revealed to you.
ARIES
21 March – 20 April Your recent attempts at a project may have failed, but this isn’t going to stop you. You’re determined to be successful and this week, absolutely nothing will get in your way. Solo efforts will make good progress and your mind is full of bright ideas. A senior colleague will be impressed by your determination.
CANCER
22 June – 23 July You may have to change plans quickly to fit in an interview or another kind of important meeting. When others refuse to change their arrangements, you will feel they’re being awkward and stubborn. It is important to look after your own interests, even if this might cause tension in a close friendship.
SCORPIO
24 October
– 22 November Scorpio can be a secretive, independent sign – but not this week. With you feeling highly sociable, you will enjoy and appreciate the company of good friends. Someone will start developing ideas and this could lead to a big change. You could do with excitement and you feel ready for something new.
AQUARIUS
21 January
– 19 February Tension between friends or in the workplace is very apparent, even though everyone will insist nothing’s wrong. Your sensitivity is such that this animosity could affect your performance. If you’ve been careless in personal finances or possessions, concentrate on sorting this out now.
TAURUS
21 April – 21 May Impulsive spending will lead to later regrets. After a careless buy, you might decide to be more careful with your cash in the future. Choose your moment carefully if you want to discuss a sensitive issue in the family. You need to know everyone is paying attention and will understand what you have to say.
LEO
24 July – 23 August If you want to make an impact on someone or if you’re attending an interview, remember that first appearances are important. Be sure to dress to impress. There’ll be just enough to keep you occupied at home, to stave off any boredom. In romance, someone will try to cast a shadow over a budding relationship.
SAGITTARIUS
23 November
– 21 December
You have wonderful ideas. Your mind is working overtime and friends will be quick to take up your suggestions for having fun. There will be a need for discretion when you spot a colleague or neighbour in a place where they aren’t supposed to be. Buying hi-tech equipment will increase productivity.
PISCES
20 February
– 20 March
You will give your best, no matter what you take on – and that’s all you really can do. Your enthusiasm for a creative project will increase as you start to see results of recent efforts. You have a lot to be proud of and others are quite rightly impressed with your skills and talents.
GEMINI
22 May – 21 June
If you aren’t happy in a situation, relationship or arrangement, do something about it. Why remain where you are if it’s making you miserable? There’s a shade of restlessness, or perhaps boredom in the air. This could be eased by ditching redundant routines and taking up new opportunities.
VIRGO
24 August
– 23 September
If a new friend volunteers to do a job for you, you should hesitate about taking them up on their offer. You don’t yet know how experienced or skilful they are. Just because they say they are incredibly talented doesn’t mean that they are. A romantic encounter will be empowering.
