Horoscopes

- By Carlos O’Connor

Libra September 24 – October 23

As you emerge from some shaky moments try to please yourself more. Others may still feel confused, but you don’t need to take their problems on. Indeed, you can’t! Bring yourself to full strength and a balanced feeling. This could mean spending more time alone, which isn’t always a bad thing. Artistic or musical talents should be developed. Your Luck: A pen or email pal has knowledge to lift your spirits so chat and find out what they have to offer.

Aquarius January 21 – February 19

Changes in your ideals, appearance and attitudes are sure to take place. Indeed, they have been doing so for some time already. What is different this week is that you have become unaccustom­ed to sharing those needs and beliefs. Give yourself time and stop worrying about how others see you. It is how you see yourself that will give you happiness in the longer term. Your Luck: Stay away from negative people and situations. A few days in a new location could clear your mind.

Gemini May 22 – June 21

After the stop-start of recent months it’s not surprising that patience is running thin. Rather than going all out to ‘make hay while the sun shines’ however, be aware of other options. It could be that this week brings a change in your romantic life that affects everything. It’s not a matter of starting again as much as adapting your plans to suit a different situation. Your Luck: Relaxing with a loved one reminds you of what you’ve been missing, so enjoy.

Scorpio October 24 – November 22

The need to rush ahead and get things done is understand­able. However, this can be how wrong decisions are made. Give yourself time to consider the possibilit­ies and what you really want. Nobody is likely to steal your thunder. Most folk are still busy dealing with domestic disruption­s! Still, get yourself in balance before becoming involved with too much. Your Luck: Look to your health and wellbeing and you will be in a stronger position to move forward.

Pisces February 20 – March 20

How well you have tackled the last six months will have depended very much on how you felt to begin with. A balance is sought now that will change your ideas but help you see a way forward. Be physically active if you can. Look for new vistas. Be willing to listen to suggestion­s without getting too involved. Have you come to mistrust the word of others? Your Luck: Your trust in others will take time but you’ve always been your own best friend, haven’t you?

Cancer June 22 – July 22

A certain amount of chaos around you could upset your confidence and pull you back. Don’t let it! Your own pathway seems clear and (if somewhat slow) at least progressiv­e. Some quiet midweek could be your chance to bring cheer to those close. Low spirits seem all around you. Could you be the one to lift them? Of course. You’re an optimist. Your Luck: Punch the air rather than your confidence. Others need your constant spark as much as you do yourself.

Sagittariu­s November 23 – December 21

This week begins a period of personal growth, both spiritual and physical. Move more, talk more, take on new interests and be outspoken to loved ones. Maybe you feel that putting physical distance between you had taken away an important contact. This is temporary but needs time to return to normal. Above all don’t expect perfection from anyone or anything. Your Luck: Stay open to the ideas of others. You’ll know which are nonsense and which are of value.

Aries March 21 – April 20

This week a word of advice gives you the feeling that someone is trying to stop your progress. Ask yourself why they would want to do that and you’ll probably draw a blank. Indeed, a flaw in your forward motion could trip you up further down the line. Go over the details of your plans and look for that chink in the armour. Do you need some last-minute adjustment­s? Your Luck: Be open-minded even if you feel that you know best. Good intentions are all around you.

Leo July 23 – August 23

You realise this week that what’s gone before has made you stronger, but maybe not in a way you’d expect. Fresh pathways and possibilit­ies have opened and continue to do so. Love and business have taken a bit of a back seat and, at times, you’ve tried to forget them. After all, you can only take so much on board! This weekend gives the chance to think again and adjust. Your Luck: No need to rush into any decisions. Those made now could be for the long term.

Capricorn December 22 – January 20

A sudden realisatio­n at how fleeting and fragile life can be has given many of us a wake-up call. Important things have become more so and small problems have been abandoned at the door. Good! What you really need in life should be your aim now. Your mind is ready to tackle a new world where you can thrive again. Your Luck: Polish up your optimism and put that smile back on your face. Your enthusiasm can be life-changing.

Taurus April 21 – May 21

Something or someone in your life is giving you a new confidence. Is this because you now know where you want to go? With so many ideas bubbling around in your head there has to come a point where you decide which should take the lead. Right now creativity should be the priority. Maybe money will be the reward down the line. Stay true to your talents. Your Luck: Lack of freedom in some areas does not stop you being imaginativ­e and creative, does it?

Virgo August 24 – September 23

Suddenly you realise how much you have achieved over the last six months. Some of it may have been considered just good luck. Look deeper, though. Behind each opportunit­y, gift and forward step your own efforts, charm and caring behaviour have led you to this place. You may not have won all the battles along the way but no-one could accuse you of not being a strong fighter. Your Luck: Stand down from your battles and try to find a balance. You are still king of your own destiny.
