Your week ahead in the stars

aries

You’re normally impatient, but from tomorrow be prepared to plan carefully and play the waiting game. You can make advances towards your main goals now, but be prepared for delays towards the weekend. Hard work and persistence will sort things out.

A good week for...peace

Leo

It’s an ideal week for expanding your mind with new interests. It’s an excellent time too for tackling any big tasks you’ve been putting off. Once you’ve got started you can achieve a great deal, especially if you pace yourself by breaking the job down into small daily portions.

A good week for...status

Sagittarius

Unlikely though it may seem there are killings to be made for you now in financial matters, if you’ll think things through carefully, take your time to pinpoint the right opportunities and put a bit of solid effort into working for whatever it is you’re after. Young people could help you here.

A good week for...details

taurus

You may have to do a bit of a balancing act this week between putting yourself and your ideas forward clearly and taking care not to be too forceful and causing friction. If you speak the truth with kindness you could touch someone’s heart.

A good week for...daring

Virgo

Much as you’d like to invest your time and energy into a project close to your heart, distractions could pull you in other directions. Don’t let this get you down. Everything is working out for you exactly as it should. Some negotiation and planning should bring everything together satisfactorily.

A good week for...overseas

Capricorn

It’s not enough now to push hard to get your way. If you’ll think carefully first about what you’re really after, you’ll be able to make headway in what’s truly important for you. Slow down this week and notice what’s good in your life and you’ll appreciate just how fortunate you are.

A good week for...leisure

Gemini

You could feel as if you’re pedalling hard and getting nowhere fast in a joint venture but slow and steady does it at the moment. Keep picturing what you’re aiming at in your imagination and attend carefully to every new situation as it arises.

A good week for...charity

Libra

Take your time to think through and plan home projects properly this week. Those close to you may seem to be at crosspurposes with their comments you but following their positive suggestions could help you use your energy more efficiently.

A good week for...sharing

aquarius

Pay attention to your dreams and longings around midweek especially if they involve trying to solve a tough problem. A challenge could be just the thing to give you a boost now. Don’t let your fear of the unknown or imagined responsibilities hold you back.

A good week for...home

Cancer

With three powerful planets in your house of partnership, energy is running high in your closest relationships. Doing something challenging together could help prevent a battle of wills getting out of hand.

A good week for...friendship

Scorpio

Listen to the notions you’re allowing to run wild inside your head. Remember that junk thoughts can do as much damage as junk food. To boost your health and vitality now, replace them with true, positive statements of your own worth. Quick fixes won’t work at the moment. A good week for...harmony

PISCES

Don’t skim over details in any projects you’re working on with others, or make assumptions. What seems perfectly obvious to you may not be the way other people see things. By Saturday you could realise just how much certain friends help you.

A good week for...discussions
