HOROSCOPES

CAPRICORN 22 DEC-20 JAN

You are not the sort to complain that life is too tough – you may even wish it were tougher. However, not everyone shares your capacity for hard work, so make allowances whenever you can. With Mars, planet of action, forming a conjunction with Neptune, planet of self-deception, you will achieve so much more in 2017 if you judge others by realistic standards. CALL 0904 470 1170*

AQUARIUS 21 JAN-19 FEB

Aquarians have a splendid knack for getting other people to reveal their plans and schemes. But your New Year chart suggests that you must be careful what you do with the information you uncover. Use it unfairly and you are the one who is likely to be embarrassed. CALL 0904 470 1171*

PISCES 20 FEB-20 MARCH

Whichever sides of your personality you hide from others, you cannot afford to hide anything from yourself. You have important targets to reach this year, but you’re bound to fail if you delude yourself about who you are and what you can do. Why put yourself at a disadvantage? CALL 0904 470 1172*

ARIES 21 MARCH-20 APRIL

With retrograde Mercury highlighting self-awareness, you are bound to see things from a highly personal viewpoint this week. In fact, what you don’t see might as well not exist. You may know all the answers, but are you certain you’ve been asking the right questions? CALL 0904 470 1161*

TAURUS 21 APRIL-21 MAY

This may be the dawning of a brand new year, but it would seem you’re letting the same old worries make your life a misery. There are so many things you can do to improve your circumstances, but nothing will work if you insist on seeing yourself as little more than a contender. CALL 0904 470 1162*

GEMINI 22 MAY-21 JUNE

A New Year dawns – and this one really should be better than the last. You have much to do, but the planets warn you not to exhaust yourself trying to get everything done at once. Start off slow and build your dream a brick at a time. It’s not a race, it’s a labour of love. CALL 0904 470 1163*

CANCER 22 JUNE-23 JULY

The planets are about to provide you with a glimpse of the future as your mind will pick up on the connections others have missed. But this is a privilege, not a right – and part of the deal is that you use what you learn to benefit others as well as yourself. CALL 0904 470 1164*

LEO 24 JULY-23 AUG

Nothing can stop an idea whose time has come. With Mercury moving into the most dynamic and creative angle of your chart, you can be certain that your ideas will strike a chord far beyond your present environment. You don’t have to be pushy – the truth will sell itself. CALL 0904 470 1165*

VIRGO 24 AUG-23 SEPT

The typical Virgo is never short of friends, but are they all as genuine as they would have you believe? Look beneath the surface and ask yourself what they really get out of the relationship. Maybe you are too suspicious, but, on the other hand, you can’t be too careful. CALL 0904 470 1166*

LIBRA 24 SEPT-23 OCT

There’s no right way to handle a relationship issue this week, but there’s certainly a wrong way and that is to pretend that you don’t care. Others won’t mind if you profess that you hate them – they’ll know you don’t mean it – but indifference is something they will never forgive. CALL 0904 470 1167*

SCORPIO 24 OCT-22 NOV

What first attracted you to someone still exists, so make an effort to rediscover it and you won’t be disappointed. It may feel as if you have grown apart lately, but time spent alone won’t have been wasted. On the contrary, in the long term it may bring you even closer together. CALL 0904 470 1168*

SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV-21 DEC

Something unexpected could disturb your domestic tranquillity this week, but it may not be as alarming as you fear. It could even be something you have been expecting. There comes a time in everyone’s life when the old must give way to the new. This is yours. CALL 0904 470 1169*
