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

ARIES

Your friendships could take up a lot of your time and energy this week, but should bring plenty of pleasure if you stop and consider what you’re trying to achieve and what the consequences might be. Think carefully before making promises, as you’re likely to be held to them now.

TAURUS

Venus moves into your most public area tomorrow, bringing increased opportunities to make constructive changes at work or in your community. Don’t worry if things don’t go exactly to plan. By slowing down and looking at the situation carefully you could come up with much better ideas.

GEMINI

Thinking creatively about plans for travel or education could help you come up with realistic ideas for making them possible. But you’ll probably have to be patient before you get results. Being frank about your opinions on Saturday is the best policy, provided you do it with kindness.

CANCER

Deal promptly with any tricky situations involving money or emotions now. But be fair and don’t over-react. You’ll then be in a position to enjoy this week’s many opportunities for pushing ahead with plans that boost your future security. An unexpected gift could come your way.

LEO

Unexpected events midweek could have a positive knock-on effect on your career or outside interests. Relationship matters could take a more serious turn, bringing pleasure and increased understanding if you listen to significant others but hold your ground on what truly matters to you.

VIRGO

It’s time to take a long, hard look at the workload you’ve accumulated and decide what’s essential or brings your pleasure. Then let go of the rest. Simplicity is what’s called for, allowing you to be healthier and more efficient and paying attention to clear communication pays off.

LIBRA

Your ruler Venus moves into your self-expression and creativity area tomorrow, inviting you to indulge in some quirky fun that has a serious side in making others think. Something you started six months ago could show results, letting you decide if you want to take matters further.

SCORPIO

It’s an excellent week to start work on home improvements, but think things through carefully and be prepared for delays and U-turns which you’ll realise later were all necessary. For best results and lasting satisfaction, combine beauty and comfort with efficiency.

SAGITTARIUS

Don’t try to rush through routine tasks. If something is broken, fix it. Communicating may need some careful handling over the next few months. Facts and sticking to the point rather than displays of feelings or enthusiasm will get folks’ attention now.

CAPRICORN

You may have to stand your ground to carve out some relaxation space, but it will be worth it if you’ve been working too hard as usual. It’s a good time to get serious about a property or money project and for budgeting for luxuries that will increase your self-esteem.

AQUARIUS

You may not be in the mood to compromise on a home situation but working with, rather than against, those who oppose you will bring results you’ll appreciate in the long run. Saturday is ideal for hammering out your agenda for achieving fairness for yourself and others.

PISCES

There are chances this week to let bygones be bygones and start again if you’ll avoid hostility and harbouring any grudges. This will give you more peace than you might imagine. Most Pisceans are naturally intuitive and the next few months should bring plenty of opportunities to test and improve your skills.
