Find out what changes and challenges are heading your way as our top astrologer reveals your week in the stars

ARIES

Take time to think things through rather than jumping in to action on impulse, chasing what you think you want, as there could be consequences that start to show up sooner rather than later. Pay close attention to your intuition from midweek and this should keep you alert.

TAURUS

Practical plans interest you more than fantasies, but if you give space to your imagination it could show you what really stirs your heart. Significant others could ask probing questions and if you consider them carefully you may learn something about your own values.

GEMINI

Wishful thinking could trip you up around midweek so it may be wise to look carefully at the facts first and get a trusted second opinion before making any commitments about your goals, career or social standing. By the weekend you should be able to see matters more clearly.

CANCER

As the week begins you could be longing for faraway places and all the magic that feels just out of reach at the moment. But sometimes losing yourself in a dream is healing, boosting your confidence in everyday matters and getting you ready to take action, maybe even enjoy a risk.

LEO

With so much discussion going on at home, misunderstandings can be avoided by being sure of what you want to say before saying it, then checking your message has been received. Family could urge you to do something different at the weekend – give it a try.

VIRGO

If you think things through carefully you’ll probably find you’ve been worrying needlessly about something recently. Just look at the situation squarely instead of ignoring it, list what needs to be done and act. You should then find more energy and skills to face challenges than you thought was possible.

LIBRA

The focus this week is on money and support you share with significant others. Fairness matters, but you sometimes forget to include yourself in the deal. If you stay open to new ideas you should find a way of negotiating that leaves everybody happy.

SCORPIO

Try not to get too heavy in conversations. If you fasten too tightly on to details others could back away. Playful Venus in Scorpio facing up to wildcard Uranus in your relationship area on Friday invites you to break out of routines and find new ways of enjoying yourself.

SAGITTARIUS

With the Sun now in Sagittarius you should be feeling perkier and more sociable. But your mind and imagination are still full of plans for home improvements and creative ventures and you could enjoy being galvanised into action on these towards the weekend.

CAPRICORN

Don’t make mountains out of molehills. Finding a practical solution to any challenges that come along could be easier than you imagine. All you need is patience and an open mind. Activities with children towards the weekend could bring pleasure as well as inspiration.

AQUARIUS

Something that’s been at the back of your mind could be hard to ignore. Bringing up your concerns without judgement may not be easy but doing so should leave you feeling freer. If you know what’s needed for the long term, bargaining for it successfully should be possible.

PISCES

If you’re tempted to speak your mind to someone this week it’s important to pick your moment and say only what’s really necessary, without accusations. Humour, along with generosity of spirit, is the way to sort out issues at the weekend. Neighbours could be the source of some unexpected ideas now.
