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

ARIES

There’s so much good you can do to help others as the week begins. And as helping them will help you too don’t let an opportunity pass by to lend a hand. The sun in your retreat area for a month from Thursday invites you to recharge your batteries before your birthday.

TAURUS

A career or community obligation could feel like a ball and chain, but keep working away at it patiently and you’ll get your rewards. Some changes may be on the horizon. Don’t immediately resist them. They’re better than you think.

GEMINI

Except big shifts in the way you see an issue at home or in the family. You’ll realise that there are interesting and attractive solutions. All it needs is some hard work and commitment from you. You may have to choose between head and heart at the weekend.

CANCER

What a friend is urging you to do may clash with an arrangement you’ve agreed with a significant other. Think carefully rather than just jumping in one way or another. Some hard choices may have to be made but there could be some bonuses if you keep options open till you’re sure.

LEO

Negotiation, not demands, is what’s needed now. Getting to the bottom of other people’s agendas will help you understand what’s really going on at home or in a relationship and should show you the best way to proceed. Someone close may need more freedom.

VIRGO

The way you see the world has been going through a major change over the last couple of years, and you could find yourself dumping some old ideas and adopting radically different views. Don’t let somebody goad you into losing your temper.

LIBRA

Negotiating or rescheduling may be needed now in plans involving children or a favourite hobby and trying to get the balance right between duty and freedom could leave you feeling frazzled. Just do your best and know that this will pass. From Thursday is time to start a new health and wellbeing routine.

SCORPIO

Trying to balance your home and relationship lives could feel like walking a tightrope. Partners could provide some surprises that push you to consider what you really want. You should have a clearer idea what that is before the week is out. Sometimes no is the correct response to overheavy demands.

SAGITTARIUS

Discussions with relatives could be constructive, bringing clarity about what you both want. Kind words cut more ice than arguments now and your appreciation would boost someone’s self-esteem. Old problems appear in a better light now so don’t let fear hold you back from doing what is right.

CAPRICORN

Half the planets in your money area until Thursday is a prompt to look at your financial situation and do a thorough reassessment. Paying close attention will allow you to spot what needs to be changed. Follow through on your insights and you should be in a stronger position by next year.

AQUARIUS

Just when you thought you might have some time for your own interests, interruptions appear at every turn. This should work out much better than you think with a positive shake up coming. If there is a battle of wills on Friday fairness and humour is the way through.

PISCES

You’ve been gradually freeing yourself from old habits of dependency and some issues still bothering you could come to a head now, allowing them to be healed. Paying close attention to your dreams and intuition about these will give you hints about the best way forward.
