YOUR STARS H SALLY BROMPTON

SAGITTARIUS

23 Nov-21 Dec No matter how upsetting or aggressive others get this week, it doesn’t need to affect you directly. You may not be able to change your current situation but you can choose whether or not to be annoyed by it. You always have free will.

CALL 1560 475 020*

CAPRICORN

22 Dec-20 Jan An emotional New Moon urges you to spend time with your thoughts and you can’t do that if you’re surrounded by chatter. If you need to grab a few hours to yourself, just say you’re going out for some fresh air – then forget to come back.

CALL 1560 475 021*

AQUARIUS

21 Jan-19 Feb If the old way of doing things no longer seems to work, it’s time to replace it with something up-to-date. Aquarius may be the sign of the future but you’re reluctant at times to let go of the past. Anything no longer useful must be abandoned. CALL 1560 475 010*

PISCES

20 Feb-20 March Don’t be in such a hurry to reconstruct your life that you mistakenly get rid of something that could prove useful to you one day. Make changes at home and work, by all means, but do so one at a time – don’t throw everything out at once. CALL 1560 475 011*

ARIES

21 March-20 April Ariens aren’t averse to risk but this week you could find yourself attracted to a gamble that your instincts tell you is doomed to fail. There are other routes to excitement than risking everything you own. Think about what you stand to lose.

CALL 1560 475 012*

TAURUS

21 April-21 May If you’re working hard but achieving or receiving less, slow down and select your objectives with care. Anything making your workload easier to bear is to be encouraged. It will convince you that it is possible to accomplish more by attempting less. CALL 1560 475 013*

GEMINI

22 May-21 June A perfect Venus-Jupiter aspect indicates that a long-term emotional commitment must now be made, reluctant as you may be to give up your independence. If you harbour your resentment it will cause heartache and hardship, which you can’t afford. CALL 1560 475 014*

CANCER

22 June-23 July Focus only on the positive this week as, with Mars opposing disruptive Uranus, you could easily lose your temper if you let negative events get you down. The world is still a wonderful place, even if some of the people in it are not.

CALL 1560 475 015*

LEO

24 July-23 Aug Anything romantic, artistic or creative will work out well this week, so give it your all. Whatever you start will be seen by others as an example of how it should be done, so be sure to get the details right and leave nothing to chance.

CALL 1560 475 016*

VIRGO

24 Aug-23 Sept Let partners and loved ones settle their own emotional issues for once – you can’t do everything for them and it would be senseless to try. Creatively, you’ll soon be riding a wave and you can’t afford to waste energy or time propping up fragile egos.

CALL 1560 475 017*

LIBRA

24 Sept-23 Oct Criticism may be hurtful, but it can also be helpful if you learn from it. Whether a partner or colleague has your interests at heart is irrelevant: what matters is whether there is some truth in what they have to say. Listen, learn and become a better person.

CALL 1560 475 018*

SCORPIO

24 Oct-22 Nov You may have to make a sacrifice this week as a New Moon in Sagittarius brings your finances into sharp focus, but you won’t have to get rid of anything you really need. In fact, if you’ve been thinking of having a clear-out, this is the time to do so. CALL 1560 475 019*

heart broken again – I also wonder whether my longing for children could be influencing my decision.

ANormally when someone has cheated in the past, I would urge caution in getting involved again, but it does sound as though this leopard might have changed his spots. The fact that he didn’t contact you until he knew your more recent relationship had ended says a lot for him. There’s also a big difference in maturity between 29 and 36, so maybe he really has learnt from his mistake. I would still be cautious – find out, for instance, if he has been faithful in any relationships in those seven years and ask mutual friends if they think he is genuine – but you could certainly agree to meet and talk. If you still love him, then you may want to try again. As for children, be upfront. Tell him that you get back together, you’d want children sooner rather than later – and ask him if he is genuinely ready for that.
