CROSSWORD AND HOROSCOPES

CANCER 22 JUNE-23 JULY

Cancers need emotional stability and this week’s Solar Eclipse in your birth sign means that you can have it if you relax and stop looking for it so hard. This is the time to make new plans and resolve that you will find the security and success you crave. Today’s brilliant Sun-Neptune aspect will point you in the right direction. Then sit back and let it happen. CALL 0904 470 1164*

LEO 24 JULY-23 AUG

Listen to your head rather than your heart this week. There is a small but potentially disastrous possibility that someone you think you can trust is telling you lies, so take no chances. Don’t be embarrassed – if they have nothing to hide, they won’t mind you asking questions. CALL 0904 470 1165*

VIRGO 24 AUG-23 SEPT

Don’t sit on the fence this week. If you have an opinion – and you most certainly do – you must express it as forcefully as is necessary. Principle is more important than pragmatism just now, even if it means that you lose something you have grown used to over the years. CALL 0904 470 1166*

LIBRA 24 SEPT-23 OCT

Be careful that in your desire to make a name for yourself – or your fear of making a fool of yourself – you don’t overlook something that could undermine your credibility. Financial and career matters, in particular, are not as straightforward as you seem to believe. CALL 0904 470 1167*

SCORPIO 24 OCT-22 NOV

Don’t waste time wondering if what you are doing is right. Having made a decision, you must back it up with strong and effective action. This week’s Solar Eclipse marks the start of an exciting new phase. What has gone before is of no consequence and can safely be forgotten. CALL 0904 470 1168*

SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV-21 DEC

You may not be the most patient person in the world, but neither are you as callous as some people like to believe. You can do your reputation a power of good this week by refusing to get upset with someone who is slow, stupid or otherwise incapable of keeping up with you. CALL 0904 470 1169*

CAPRICORN 22 DEC-20 JAN

As the Sun aspects reflective Neptune, aggressive and loud people will most certainly turn you off this week. If you cannot find a quiet spot to work, then at least make efforts to block out all that background noise. Soothing music on headphones should do the trick. CALL 0904 470 1170*

AQUARIUS 21 JAN-19 FEB

You may not have any say in the actions of partners and colleagues this week, but that does not mean you should refuse to go along with them. In fact, you can demonstrate your willingness to let others lead the way, even if you secretly think you could do a better job yourself. CALL 0904 470 1171*

PISCES 20 FEB-20 MARCH

Your ruler Neptune warns that if you have problems reaching targets you set for yourself, it can only be because they are unrealistic. Do you think you can really reach them or is it because you feel that you have something to prove? Either way, set your sights lower. CALL 0904 470 1172*

ARIES 21 MARCH-20 APRIL

Change is a natural and necessary process. Without it, life would stagnate and decline. Whatever is now changing in your life needs to happen, even though you may not be able to see why. Be a friend to change this week and it will be a friend to you. CALL 0904 470 1161*

TAURUS 21 APRIL-21 MAY

You may be the cleverest Taurus alive, but you will live to regret it if you think you can talk your way out of trouble this week. A timely apology will do more for your reputation and credibility than trying to argue that some kind of mistake was not your fault. CALL 0904 470 1162*

GEMINI 22 MAY-21 JUNE

Geminis are good at finding solutions. Whatever the issue, you can generally resolve it. So why are you running away from a business or financial problem that you could easily deal with if you turned and faced it head on? Or is it just a tactical retreat to confuse the opposition?
