Your Stars

Your week ahead:

Aries

You may have to revisit some issues with friends over the next few weeks. Doing what’s right for everybody will make you stronger and by insisting on what you need and letting go of what you don’t, everyone should end up with a better deal. Hobbies bring pleasure now. A good week for... family

Leo

Finding time to reflect in peace as the week begins may be hard, but worth the effort. Getting away on your own will leave you refreshed and mentally stimulated. An old relationship issue could come up towards the weekend. Sorting it out honestly will bring you both closer. A good week for... dreams

Sagittarius

Your mind is working overtime now. You’re full of ideas, but may feel frustrated when you try to put them into action. Taking a risk and doing something you’ve always wanted to could pay off handsomely provided you’re patient. Kind words will get you further than criticism now.

A good week for... renovations

Taurus

Being stubborn or hasty about home or community matters is best avoided. New facts may come up over the next few weeks that need taken into account. People close to you are acting like mirrors from midweek. Pay attention to their behaviour and you could see yourself as others see you.

A good week for... relatives

Virgo

Some well-deserved praise as the week begins should give your spirits a boost. Your intuition is working well now, provided you don’t let your frets and fears take over. So be sure to take some time out for just having fun instead of getting frazzled about all the tasks you’ve still to do.

A good week for... friendship

Capricorn

Your attention this week is on puzzling out hidden, forbidden or mysterious matters. You may find yourself running up against other people’s agendas and having to compromise. That’s a challenge, but you can do it if you try and those close to you can support you in this.

A good week for... diplomacy

Gemini

Paying close attention as the week begins to what your feelings are telling you about a home situation could help you realise what your next move should be. Someone could touch a raw nerve about a cherished opinion this week. Don’t get defensive, look at things differently.

A good week for... property

Libra

Is there anything over the last few years you wish you’d done differently? If so, take the chance between now and mid August to make new choices. Doing a friend a good turn behind the scenes without expecting reward or recognition will give you lasting satisfaction now.

A good week for... recognition

Aquarius

You’re becoming increasingly focussed on pushing ahead with your projects, but don’t let frustration make you snappy. How you deal with obstacles over the next few weeks will show if you’re serious about what you want. Stick at it, as determination could produce results. A good week for... efficiency

Cancer

Don’t let touchiness get the upper hand now if you come up against people who do things their way. You’ll create win-win situations if you share your ideas and resources and work towards common goals instead of wasting your energy in squabbles. Make the most of Friday’s feelgood factor.

A good week for... courage

Scorpio

A family matter could feel like it’s getting nowhere over the next few weeks but keep working at it patiently and you could find a brilliant solution to an old problem. Discussions with loved ones could generate some heat but bring closeness and clarity about what you both stand for.

A good week for... travel

Pisces

Welcome any apparent setbacks as they’re really disguised opportunities to get clear about what’s really important. Leisure and hobbies may need attention and you may meet resistance in carving out time for yourself. Standing your ground may bring long-term benefits.

A good week for... creativity
