Horoscopes

Your future in the stars:

ARIES

If you react with frustration to this week’s challenges you could be shooting yourself in the foot. It’s better for your longterm good to put your efforts into duties on the career and community front even if you feel they get in the way of pushing forward with what you want.

TAURUS

It’s an excellent time to attend to health and lifestyle matters, looking at this as an investment in self-care rather than punishment. If you notice irritation or restlessness bubbling up inside you now, try to work out the cause. It may not be what you think.

GEMINI

The sun moves into your pleasure and self-expression sector midweek and you’re looking for some fun rather than the argy-bargy. You should be able to put your verbal skills to good use this week in defending your choices about how you use your time.

CANCER

Serious discussions with your nearest and dearest could increase closeness and help everyone see where they stand, provided you give confrontation a body-swerve. Your attention turns to domestic matters from Tuesday as the sun enters your home and family area.

LEO

If you avoid nit-picking arguments with people and deal with their objections, you could improve communications in some of your more important relationships. From midweek you should be able to cooperate with a neighbour or relative more easily than you have recently.

VIRGO

The month ahead is ideal for sorting out the details of your resources and deciding your best way forward according to your values. It’s best not to jump into shared financial projects too quickly without considering their possible consequences. They may be perfectly sound but it’s better be sure than sorry.

LIBRA

The determination of someone close to get their own way could leave you feeling vulnerable but if you know you’re in the right, standing your ground will boost your self-respect. The sun enters your sign at the autumn equinox on Tuesday bringing you much more energy.

SCORPIO

Hurry slowly is your motto now. If you refuse to get frustrated by the seemingly endless tasks being heaped on you, and just work through them one by one you’ll reap the benefits in the weeks to come. From Tuesday your intuition could be your greatest ally so stop and listen.

SAGITTARIUS

If friends throw cold water on any of your plans this week don’t be put off unless their criticisms are really valid – and if you listen carefully you may find they have a point. Responsibilities could weigh heavily now but if you stick to your own values you’ll find they serve you well.

CAPRICORN

You may feel stretched between putting energy into your private life and calls on your time outside the home. Both benefit if you concentrate on doing one thing at a time, properly. Some previously hidden facts could come to light, giving you the information needed to make shrewd choices.

AQUARIUS

Looking at the bigger picture could open your mind to interesting possibilities. Sometimes your distaste for feelings can prevent you examining your motivations, but checking what really drives you now can prevent mistakes by acting blindly.

PISCES

It’s easy to feel intimidated by other people’s strong opinions especially when you don’t know what to think. Sometimes it’s best just to stand back quietly and let all the commotion pass you by. Trusting in what your heart tells you and acting on that will get you through.
