HOROSCOPES

PISCES 20 FEB-20 MAR

The Sun and intelligent Mercury enter your birth sign today so you will find it much easier to be assertive and take what you want this week, rather than wait for someone to offer it to you. With creative Venus and your imaginative ruler Neptune also in your sign, this could be one of the most favourable phases for many years. Aim for your highest ambition. CALL 1560 475 011* ARIES 21 MARCH-20 APRIL

You will find it much harder to get your way by sheer force of personality now that the Sun is highlighting your weaknesses rather than your strengths. Instead, you are going to have to rely on brain rather than brawn. Lay the charm on thick. CALL 1560 475 012* TAURUS 21 APRIL-21 MAY

Not everyone is as honest and hardworking as you. As the Sun enters generous Pisces, you will find yourself swamped by financial requests. If you’re wise, you will turn them down. The best way to help others is to encourage them to help themselves. CALL 1560 475 013* GEMINI 22 MAY-21 JUNE

An authority figure is about to offer you the chance to move several rungs up the ladder of success. But, with so much at stake, you must first ask yourself whether you really want that level of power and responsibility. Accept only if you do. CALL 1560 475 014* CANCER 22 JUNE-23 JULY

The Sun in Pisces for the next four weeks will heighten your confidence, but don’t go from one extreme to the other and start behaving out of character. At best, you will make a fool of yourself. At worst, others will expect you to be like it all the time. CALL 1560 475 015* LEO 24 JULY-23 AUG

Don’t feel irrationally jealous if a friend or loved one pays too much attention to someone else this week. You are normally too proud to show such negativity, but your nerves are still on edge from the recent Eclipses. Don’t worry – everyone loves you. CALL 1560 475 016* VIRGO 24 AUG-23 SEPT

There is a simple way to avoid confrontation this week and that is to go your own way and let everyone else go theirs. The Sun in your opposite sign over the next few weeks means that you will have to make a few compromises. Start now. CALL 1560 475 017* LIBRA 24 SEPT-23 OCT

Don’t be too sceptical about someone else’s cry for sympathy. Despite a few practical problems ahead, you should not neglect others’ emotional needs. If you do, it will take a great deal of time and effort a few weeks from now to win them round again. CALL 1560 475 018* SCORPIO 24 OCT-22 NOV

The Sun in sympathetic Pisces will bring many opportunities your way. All you have to do is reach out and grab them. But don’t be greedy – there are plenty to go round. Be selective and aim for quality. Quantity of work means nothing. CALL 1560 475 019* SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV-21 DEC

You may have to hide your feelings this week, if you are to avoid an unpleasant scene. If you fall out with someone, they will be in a huff for weeks. Bite your lip and focus on something that you can agree on. You don’t want to make any enemies. CALL 1560 475 020* CAPRICORN 22 DEC-20 JAN

Your desire to be the best at everything can be quelled now that the Sun is focusing on relaxation and fun. Seek out people who make you laugh even when you are feeling down. You need to recharge your batteries for your next assault on success. CALL 1560 475 021* AQUARIUS 21 JAN-19 FEB

Although the Sun is leaving your birth sign, you do not need to rush to finish all those half-completed jobs. If they were so important, you would have done them by now. Instead, focus on all the good things that you have achieved so far this year. CALL 1560 475 010* * Over-18s only. This is an entertainment service. calls to 1560: €1.25 per minute.
