HOROSCOPES

OUR RESIDENT ASTROLOGER PREDICTS YOUR WEEK FROM MAY 17 TO MAY 23

TAURUS APR 21 – MAY 21

Your finances are catching the celestial spotlight. Events over the next six weeks might prompt a reappraisal, so hold off on major decisions until the dust settles. Meanwhile, a stream of catch-ups and local events should keep you on your toes, while for active Bulls, a new pastime might hit the spot. LUCKY FLOWERS: ANYTHING SENTIMENTAL

LEO JUL 24 – AUG 23

Hope you like surprises! An unexpected offer could make your week, while on the family front, a conversation could open your eyes – and help you to make a decision. With your friendship sector glowing, join a like-minded group or chase up old friends. Group activities will bring out your best over the coming weeks – especially if charities are involved. LUCKY NUMBERS: 2, 6, 9, 16, 22, 28

SCORPIO OCT 24 – NOV 22

Lucky stars may bring unexpected windfalls as winter draws closer, but don’t let that be your cue to throw caution to the wind. Home or health-related expenses could add up quickly, and with your sentimental side in full bloom, a family getaway might beckon. Family investments may also hit the agenda, but getting organised should take the load off. LUCKY DAYS: TUESDAY AND FRIDAY

AQUARIUS JAN 21 – FEB 19

Ready to take up a challenge? Whether it’s a work-related project or a quest of a more personal nature, cast your doubts aside and dive on in – preferably before Mercury turns retrograde on Sunday week! Creative stars could make this a productive period, with dormant painting or decorating skills being activated. LUCKY DAYS: WEDNESDAY AND SUNDAY

GEMINI MAY 22 – JUN 21

Hip, hip, hooray! You should have plenty to celebrate over the coming weeks, including your birthday. With Jupiter perched on your pinnacle, the cooler months are ripe with potential. As your networking skills intensify, a sideline business might blossom, while at work, a golden opportunity could arise. LUCKY COLOURS: YELLOW AND ORANGE

VIRGO AUG 24 – SEP 23

Your stars are growing luckier by the day! An exciting project might get you buzzing or friends might introduce someone with whom you instantly click. Some Virgos could be offered a promotion. Your responsibilities may feel heavy at times, but it won’t all be hard work. Bonds with friends and co-workers should grow as a sense of solidarity increases. LUCKY DAYS: THURSDAY AND SUNDAY

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 – DEC 21

Let the love in! Over the coming weeks, couples might find Venus’ romantic vibes drawing them closer. With heart-to-hearts filling the agenda, it’s time to get things off your chest, not just with your family, but with close friends too. Sunday’s moon might even bring a reconciliation. LUCKY COLOURS: BURGUNDY AND CHARCOAL

PISCES FEB 20 – MAR 20

Throw yourself into something new and shake things up. Catch a movie after work, join a club with friends or check out a local trivia night. Many Fish will find themselves searching for more stimulation over the cooler months, and with Jupiter boosting your confidence, you might find it. For romantics, these sensual stars could rekindle old fires – or light new ones! LUCKY FLOWERS: ORANGE LILIES

CANCER JUN 22 – JUL 23

If you’ve fallen into a rut, positive changes are heading your way. Some Crabs might even launch a health overhaul, and with Mars energising your sign, efforts should snowball. On a deeper level, your search for meaning could intensify over the next few weeks, so let yourself ponder a few possibilities. Fascinating new experiences are coming. LUCKY SYMBOLS: STARS

LIBRA SEP 24 – OCT 23

This looks like a mind-expanding month for you. Seminars or self-help books might open your eyes through late autumn, or unusual therapies like hypnosis or kinesiology could get to the core of a long-term problem. With your travel zone now fully activated, why not organise a weekend away? If friends or family are involved, all the better! LUCKY COLOURS: SHADES OF GREEN

CAPRICORN DEC 22 – JAN 20

If you’ve taken on too much, start off-loading. Resist stewing over problems, and instead, start sharing both your thoughts and your tasks. At work, new systems could save time and money, while on the health front, new routines may beckon. Sharing a more active lifestyle might help long-term couples to reconnect, so why not join a local club? LUCKY GEMSTONE: TIGER’S EYE

ARIES MAR 21 – APR 20

Reunions might hit the agenda as winter approaches, and as people open up, you could discover a few skeletons lurking in the closet. Just be careful not to speak out of turn or someone’s trust could be broken. For singles, an old beau could enter your orbit, but if you’re already attached, watch out: connections formed under May’s fated patterns could be irresistible! LUCKY SIGNS: GEMINI AND VIRGO
