Your week ahead in the stars

aries

It’s best to keep calm if caught in a conflict of interest this week. Feelings could be running high but forcing matters is unlikely to bring the results you’re hoping for. A bit of good news later in the week about something you’ve set your heart on should lift your spirits. A good week for…quiet

Leo

Try to keep your ego in check to avoid turning a difference of opinion into a major drama. From Wednesday your focus is on your more public life and you should enjoy working out exactly what you’re trying to achieve and what your own social role should be.

A good week for…secrets

Sagittarius

A niggling situation that has been making you feel restless could surface now. This can easily be fixed if you’ll just keep a sense of humour and be prepared to consider unusual ways of dealing with it. Friends or family should be supportive with plenty of warmth to be given and taken. A good week for…home

taurus

Mars moves into your sign on Thursday, increasing your energy and determination. It’s best not to let little things annoy you. There’s more to life than being right but if you’re feeling the need to challenge others, pick your fights wisely. Your friends could be good sounding boards. A good week for…socialising

Virgo

It’s worth rising above any impatience as the mood will pass and you should feel more in control by the weekend. Throwing your energy into a hobby or creative project should prove productive now while taking time to think through a work matter carefully could pay off handsomely.

A good week for…partnership

Capricorn

Don’t let little things provoke you to anger this week. It’s time to tackle the big issues holding you back, so work at solving any underlying problems, as this will give lasting benefit. You may be sitting in judgement over someone more than you realise. Think first before condemning.

A good week for…discussions

Gemini

Friends could inspire you now to broaden your horizons and look at exciting options. You may be reflecting on your ideas about right and wrong and come to some interesting conclusions. Pay attention to your intuition from midweek for clues about something you need to do.

A good week for…recognition

Libra

An old drama with someone close could come to a head now making you finally feel the need to make a decision. Will you listen to others or insist on having your own way? Every choice has consequences and some careful thought is needed to stay fair to both yourself and others.

A good week for…efficiency

aquarius

It may be hard to put a brake on rash behaviour but try hard as things said and done in haste now could lead to hurt. Mars moves into your home and family sector on Thursday boosting your energy and interest and making the next couple of months ideal for home improvements.

A good week for…art

Cancer

A career or community matter may require some action. Negotiating to ensure that everybody gets something of what they want works better than jumping the gun and acting rashly. Praise for work done well should boost your confidence now and may lead to interesting offers.

A good week for…adventure

Scorpio

Be careful if you’re handling sharp objects over the next few days as impatience could lead to carelessness. On Thursday, Mars moves into your partnership area giving you the choice of competing or actively cooperating. The latter would bring the most constructive results.

A good week for…hobbies
