GEMINI May 22-June 21

CANCER June 22-July 23

Be wary about believing a snippet of gossip which is passed on to you by a nosy neighbour. Hold that vivid imagination of yours in check when talking to others and be certain that you aren’t the one who passes on an unfounded rumour. You need to protect your own reputation.

LEO July 24-Aug 23

Put creative thought into practical jobs you take on now and this will be an excellent opportunity for you to develop any artistic talents you possess. You know you haven’t been making the most of your skills. You will get plenty of encouragement to put your clever ideas into practice.

VIRGO Aug 24-Sept 23

A partner will suggest entering a shared financial transaction or opening a joint bank account.

CAPRICORN Dec 22-Jan 20

You feel irritable with someone not making any effort to carry out their responsibilities. You want to get the job done and you want to see results. Just don’t be tempted to try to organise people who aren’t as motivated as you are. Such efforts will only make you feel more frustrated.

AQUARIUS Jan 21-Feb 19

You are generally an easy-going person, but one thing that you reallyu don’t like is to be pushed into anything you don’t want to do. Someone is about to discover that you will not be rushed into making a commitment. If they want a snap decision out of you, your stubborn side will show.

PISCES Feb 20-Mar 20

You will suddenly realise a problem that a friend admits they are having is relevant to your own situation. Not only this, but you happen to know someone who is an expert in this field.
