Your week ahead in the stars

ARIES

You like to keep your options open but sometimes chasing battles scatters your energies. Feedback could come early this week about whether or not you need more emphasis on going for your goals. It’s time to turn your attention to what you most enjoy doing – and do it.

A good week for...depth

LEO

By giving someone with a foreign connection a surprise, you could spread a little happiness. If you’ve been following the recent cosmic prods to improve your daily routines you could be seeing some positive results now. If you haven’t yet started, there’s no better time than now.

SAGITTARIUS

Somebody at home may be feeling a bit unsupported now. If so it’s time to put matters right – but without making a big deal about it. You’re probably feeling increasingly drawn to the more inward areas of life now. Without neglecting your duties, it’s time to contemplate what’s higher.
