Your week ahead in the stars

aries

Just when you thought you were getting a handle on things, you could find yourself with too many choices. Have patience. There’s a good reason for what is happening and when the time is right you’ll see it. On Friday patience combined with imagination could bring happy results. A good week for…friends

Leo

It’s time to tot up your assets

– your skills and talents as well as possessions – and make some decisions for using them wisely over the coming months. An idea about this as the week begins could be an inspiration. It’s best to cooperate rather than compete with those closest to you now. A good week for…partners

Sagittarius

Compromise could get you what you want this week without a tussle of wills, but you may prefer a good argument. Take care with any Cancers or Pisces though as their skins are thinner than yours. There should be plenty of interesting verbal exchanges with friends from the weekend.

A good week for…discussions

taurus

Your immediate response to suggestions for change is often a stubborn no. But if an old situation shows itself in a new light this week, try to stay open to discussions. Working with your hands to create something beautiful as well as useful could give you great pleasure.

Virgo

You can make big strides forward this week in just about anything you set your mind to that’s creative or communications-based. Selfimprovement comes easily now, and you have plenty of drive to carry out your resolutions. All you need to get started is a clear idea of what you’re aiming at.

A good week for…work

Capricorn

Keep your eyes open now for new ideas about practical strategies for achieving your long-term financial ambitions.

Gemini

Don’t overload yourself with too many jobs and distractions this week, especially midweek as your energy could get very scattered.

It’s best to finish one thing before going on to the next. From Friday, light-hearted discussions about leisure activities should become increasingly enjoyable.

A good week for…travel

Libra

Your imagination could be your best friend this week. If you watch where it’s wandering, you may get glimpses of ideas that may help you find practical solutions to everyday concerns. Communication planet Mercury enters your sign on Saturday, boosting your tact and powers of persuasion. A good week for…children

aquarius

Family members could keep you on your toes now as what they say could spark some ideas that make you think. There’s no right and wrong, just the need to respect different viewpoints and make fair decisions. You should be able to act confidently in work or community matters now.

A good week for…boldness
