Star of the week
Aries March 21 – April 20
You are bound to be introspective in the run-up to imminent events. Observe subtle changes and nuances and make smart moves. Your breakthrough is on the way. Take the rough with the smooth. You are all set for a magical stretch if you don’t get too flustered. Be careful not to get wound up or stressed about unnecessary details. Unexpected news about a contract or papers will leave you reeling, but there is a bigger picture at stake. Be assured that you will be looked after.
Taurus April 21 – May 21
Dream harder. Enjoy the current boost to your energy levels. Assess what needs to be done and get things on track. Make the most of current professional opportunities, and don’t take no for an answer. At this point, you only have to click your fingers and things happen. So, build up your status and experience the feelgood factor. By the end of the week, though, detach yourself and slow down a little. It’s time to take things more seriously.
Gemini May 22 – June 22
Be as efficient as you have a mind to be. Then prepare to see the fruits of your labours. Guard your secrets and take action to sort out a potentially embarrassing situation. Think on your feet and accept an opportune moment for what it is. Be realistic, but look for practical ways to progress. Expect further luck, but be aware that you may have to create it. Stay wise and sensible amidst a cunning game plan and you will win out. Never mind what anyone else is doing.
Pisces February 20 – March 20
Concentrate on the next big thing and pace yourself. Modest confident steps will take you further than big blind leaps of faith. Now is not the time to gamble. Build your profile on a sure thing and leave hazardous arrangements to the tricksters. Fight for your rights. You must stick to your own style and way of doing things. It is your independence and intelligence that separates you from the rest, so don’t be dictated to. When you are good, you are very good and when you are bad...well, we know the rest.
Cancer June 23 – July 23
All you have to do is maintain a positive way of seeing. The universe will do the rest. New contacts contribute to your sense of optimism. It is a fact of life that things don’t always run as smoothly as you would like. Accept this! Be philosophical and maintain your groove and sanity. Be responsible for your well-being and take actions if you are feeling the pinch mentally, physically or emotionally. Avoid needless rows and keep your stubborn streak in check.
Leo July 24 – August 23
Don’t be tempted to dredge up the past unnecessarily. Expect a difference of opinion and adapt. Be prepared to admit a mistake. You may have to speak up and explain yourself, but honesty will pay off in unexpected ways. Watch out amidst circumstances beyond your control. The best way through it is to be open and pragmatic. What is done is done. What will be, will be. Accept new possibilities and look out for someone unusual to boost your chances. Your popularity is guaranteed at the moment.
Virgo August 24 – September 23
Sometimes, you just have to let things go. Consider the implications of repeating patterns and act spontaneously in love situations. It’s the best way. Your imagination can take you places. It can also get you out of a lot of trouble, but now is the time to be sensible and upfront with your thoughts, words and deeds. So, watch that impetuous streak and guard against impulsive actions. In love, there is free rein. Use your charm to the max. Get moving with those travel plans, as a break is long overdue.
Libra September 24 – October 23
Make the most of your opportunities as and when they arise. A love from the deep distant past will return. It’s important to make headway at work so that you can find the time to enjoy the celebrations. Retraining or a college course will lead to favourable career options. A wedding plan looks set to roll and is a very lucky choice for those concerned. Keep a control of finances and pay attention to details. A move of location is a strong possibility.
Scorpio October 24 – November 22
New confidence and peace of mind is on the way. Remain positive. Legal documents that initially gave you cause for concern will finalise in your favour. Show determination and ambition in your working life and fight off low self-esteem or security issues. You need more physical activity. Don’t succumb to laziness, enjoyable as it may be. There is victory for you with a relationship that has stood the test of time. Trust your finer feelings, as dreams really may come true if you dream them for long enough!
Sagittarius November 23 – December 21
You may be in two minds about the future of a relationship, but what’s new? Happiness is yours in the future but you need to leave the past behind and enjoy life’s mystery. Don’t over-stress yourself about finances, as the long hours you have to put in will be rewarded eventually. Reach for the stars and in time, you may grab one! You really must trust your instincts where love is concerned, never mind convention. Don’t allow other people to dictate the details of your life.
Capricorn December 22 – January 20
Follow your instincts in complicated business dealings and make sure financial agreements are secure before you broadcast them. If you are under a cloud or drowning emotionally, take positive action. Don’t wallow in your melancholic mood, as it is in part self-contrived. You have more power at your disposal than you realise. Focus upon your own future and channel your ambitious nature into independent projects. There’s a lot of creativity at your disposal, so paint, write or sing your way through this week!
Aquarius January 21 – February 19
Try to put stress that relates to the past behind you. Wipe the emotional slate clean and press on, as one relationship needs a fresh start and positive input. That legal matter is not all it seems so do tread carefully through the small print. Work choices are inevitable soon enough. Wise moves reduce tension and financial commitments. It’s important to walk away from relationships that have brought you difficulty and disappointment. Passion is lurking around the corner and will pounce when the time is right. RTÉ GUIDE
