Your week ahead in the stars

ARIES

Events early in the week could pinpoint which money matters you need to deal with, and how. Friends have plenty to say this week and it’s worth listening to them as you could discover just how important you are in other people’s lives and how much you rely on them.

GEMINI

With a little tact and diplomacy it should be easy to convince others to let you have your way. Your adventurous side is demanding some attention this week and it would do you the world of good to give in to it. Activities with relatives could give you a lift.

LEO

The full moon in your relationship area highlights the need to strike a balance between your needs and those of significant others. Negotiation and compromise are the names of the game this week, and if old issues surface it’s a great time to deal with them.

LIBRA

With Thursday’s full moon in your party area it’s a week to make your mark by being spontaneous and a bit quirky. You’re making a difference to someone’s life now and news towards the weekend about a child in the family, or a romance, could brighten your week.

SAGITTARIUS

Your words could inspire others more than you imagine – and come back to help you next month, so don’t hold back with compliments or encouragement. Your ruler, Jupiter, turning direct today should boost your mood and set your mind on new ventures.

AQUARIUS

With Thursday’s full moon in your own sign, how you come across to others is high on your agenda. Over the next few weeks you’ll be clearer who the most important people in your life are and Friday would be a good day to show them your gratitude.

TAURUS

It’s hard to keep a low profile now even if you’d like to. Your achievements over the last year are under review and it’s time to celebrate or make some changes. You’re at a turning point and some deep thought is called for about which direction to take at home and more publicly.

CANCER

Matters of debt, pensions and inheritances could occupy you now. A break from routine towards the weekend should help you find original ways of solving a dilemma. Things should be looking up, money-wise, over the next month, if you keep an eye on your spending.

VIRGO

Now is an ideal time for dealing with any health and work issues you may have. If you tackle the details promptly you’ll soon reap the benefits. Ideas and opportunities for getting on this week are all around, so keep your eyes open and be prepared to act quickly.

SCORPIO

Handling a career or community matter responsibly should improve the chances of a positive outcome by the weekend. You could get a feel this week for where your priorities really lie and it’s possible to make small but constructive changes.

CAPRICORN

With the full moon’s light in your resources area it should become apparent what you need to be doing about your finances. You could be picking up with renewed confidence old projects that have fallen by the wayside and some unexpected luck could come your way.

PISCES

You may find you have a powerful need to be alone this week. It’s time to slow down, step back from all the demands being made of you and take the pulse of what’s really going on for you. You could be surprised by what comes to light and it should be easy to deal with this.
