YOUR WEEK IN THE Stars

WITH JANE RIDDER-PATRICK

ARIES

You could swing between being too forceful and being too laid-back this week. Keep in mind what you’re after and you’ll find the right way. Travel or study plans start to shape up now and friends could be a fount of information, but it’s best to ponder carefully before committing.

A good week for: adventure

LEO

For the next few weeks you could find yourself having to deal with someone who wants their own way. It’s best not to react too strongly. That could cause arguments and only make matters worse, so guard your tongue! Fairness all round is what will bring the most positive results.

A good week for: playfulness

SAGITTARIUS

Tomorrow’s New Moon in your sign marks an important new beginning. Take time out, preferably today, to identify what you’d like to come into your life over the coming year. Then draw up a plan and a timetable for achieving this and start putting things into action this week.

A good week for: enterprise

TAURUS

Even if you’re a typical sceptical Taurus you could become aware this week that there’s much more to lifee than meets the eye. By following your gut feelings you should find some good deals, but be sure to read the small print carefully as contracts made now have more significance than normal.

A good week for: mystery

VIRGO

With tomorrow’s New Moon in your home and family sector, together with hard-working Saturn and your ruler Mercury, you’re well l placed to come up with a great new project for improvements at home. Be sure to seize the day and start it this week.

A good week for: cosiness

CAPRICORN

Follow your dreams this week, but don’t get carried away or you could be tempted to overspend. A surprise find could be just the thing to improve your home. Communication may need a subtle touch around midweek so tune into your intuition and pay attention to body language.

A good week for: charity

GEMINI

Tomorrow’s New Moon in your opposite sign prompts you to check out what’s working and what’s not in your closest relationship – and make some adjustments if necessary. Events on Wednesday could give you some clues about what way the wind is blowing.

A good week for: partnership

LIBRA

With your planet Venus making an edgy aspect with rebellious Uranus midweek, you could be itching for change. It’s best though not to throw the baby out with the bathwater in a relationship matter. There could be a new turn of events with a relative or neighbour.

A good week for: communication

AQUARIUS

You can achieve a great deal over the coming weeks if you’ll get clear about what you really need. Don’t be afraid to ask for help if you’re getting overloaded with too many chores. Friends would be only too willing to lend a hand now, especially if you’ve been generous in the past.

A good week for: networking

CANCER

Life could feel a bit heavy now with work and duties piling up, but stick at it, do what you know is right and you’ll see the benefits in a few months time. This could be one of your luckiest weeks financially if you’re prepared to look at things from all angles and make some prudent choices.

A good week for: details

SCORPIO

Tackling boring jobs is rarely what floats your boat, but this week you can zip through themm with very little effort so make the he most of this promising time. Don’t be awkward or stubborn about a financial matter. Follow your hunches about what is the right thing to do, but get some reliable advice too.

A good week for: nature

PISCES

Don’t expect people to read your mind now. Being honest about your desires will help others help you reach for your goals. If you’re feeling irritable this week, try to find what’s really bothering you. It may not be what you think. Any setbacks you have now are really blessings in disguise.

A good week for: achievement
