HOROSCOPES by Sally Brompton

PISCES 20 FEB-20 MARCH

With Mars, planet of energy and ambition, and Saturn, planet of structure and self-discipline, joining forces across two of the more materialistic sectors of your chart this week, you can do your career and financial prospects a power of good by pushing yourself that little bit harder – just as your rivals are taking it easy. CALL 1560 475 011* ARIES 21 MARCH-20 APRIL

Your ruler Mars leaves your sign this week, but you’ve no need to slow down – especially now that you’ve built up such a head of steam. But it might be wise to start spending less as, before too long, you’ll have major bills to pay – and the one thing sure to slow you down is a lack of cash. CALL 1560 475 012* TAURUS 21 APRIL-21 MAY

You like to give others the benefit of the doubt, but the planets warn you to be on your guard this week – both in your personal life and at work. After Mars enters your sign on Friday, you will be able to demonstrate that you can be as adventurous and dynamic as anyone. CALL 1560 475 013* GEMINI 22 MAY-21 JUNE

If you don’t feel like being sociable, travelling or wearing a phoney smile on your face – well, who says you have to? You can’t be the life and soul of the party all the time and, according to your solar chart, you would be foolish to pretend. This is a time for thinking deeply. CALL 1560 475 014* CANCER 22 JUNE-23 JULY

Life doesn’t have to be a battlefield, but some weeks it looks like one. Mars’s imminent change of signs means your opinions will alter, even making you quite aggressive about them. Just don’t expect to convert others. Life would be dreary if everyone thought the same. CALL 1560 475 015* LEO 24 JULY-23 AUG

Leos attract lifelong friends and, sometimes, lifelong enemies. Any doubts you may have about who falls into which category will be swept away this week, according to the cosmic setup. Don’t worry if the numbers aren’t in your favour – it’s not about quantity, it’s about quality. CALL 1560 475 016* VIRGO 24 AUG-23 SEPT

This is the week when your luck finally turns. You may find that hard to believe, but the planets indicate that if you know how to read the signs, you’ll discover that a number of little things start to go right for you. And if the little things go right, the big things won’t be far behind. CALL 1560 475 017* LIBRA 24 SEPT-23 OCT

Like everyone, you have secrets that you go to great lengths to keep hidden. But there comes a time when it’s better to let the private become public, and such a time is now. You don’t have to reveal every little thing – just the basics. You’ll be surprised how fast the storm subsides. CALL 1560 475 018* SCORPIO 24 OCT-22 NOV

Money, fame, power – these things may or may not be important to you, but self-respect is vital. Consequently, if someone tries to get you to do something that you do not approve of this week, they will regret they ever thought of the idea. They certainly won’t ask you again. CALL 1560 475 019* SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV-21 DEC

You’re about to embark on a hugely busy phase and, if you’re wise, you won’t make too many plans as unexpected developments will make them redundant. Attitude matters. When confronted with a stack of work, treat it as a challenge – not an excuse to lament life’s unfairness. CALL 1560 475 020* CAPRICORN 22 DEC-20 JAN

You seem to be under a lot of pressure just now, but how much of it is self-imposed? The fact is, you’re pushing yourself far too hard and it will eventually catch up with you. Give yourself a break this week – there’s nothing that can’t wait until Mars moves in your favour on Friday. CALL 1560 475 021* AQUARIUS 21 JAN-19 FEB

Find ways to combine business and pleasure this week – it won’t be as difficult as it looks. Restrictive Saturn energised by dynamic Mars means that what you thought was hard will be easy, and what you thought was easy will be even easier than you imagined. CALL 1560 475 010*
