Horoscopes

Gemini May 22 – June 21

It has been much easier to upset you in the last few weeks and you could still be in a bit of a prickly mood. This won’t worry you unduly, especially if a sharper attitude seems to be getting results. A certain amount of mental ‘drifting’ this week could see time wasted. Build on relationsh­ips by being available to help out and talk to others. Your Luck: Through getting out and socialisin­g there is the chance to turn a corner romantical­ly.

Libra September 24 – October 23

Lady luck is on your side this week and just when you are feeling most adventurou­s. The urge to get to ‘pastures new’ is strong. Maybe it isn’t possible to get away just yet, but you can plan. There are bargains to be had right now and booking early can get you a discount. Staying close to home? Wherever you are at the moment, some exciting possibilit­ies open up for you. Your Luck: It isn’t necessary to go far to get the benefits of a lucky streak.

Aquarius January 21 – February 19

The urge to spend that hard-earned cash is very strong this week. If you find that wonderful bargain, fine. Spontaneou­s spending, however, could leave a nasty taste in your mouth. Something really tasty could be just around the corner, you know! You will find the one thing that floats your boat every time, but at what cost? That strong streak of individual­ity is coming out now. Your Luck: Life can be fun when you share humour and optimism.

Cancer June 22 – July 22

Communicat­ions are generally improving all around and so this is the time to start talking about what you need from others. Of course there should ideally be something to be gained for them, also. Indeed, some give and take now guides you in the right direction for the future. Be ready to be flexible in any discussion­s and willing to keep the peace rather than be prickly. Your Luck: Long-term gains are well worth a little ego massaging!

Scorpio October 24 – November 22

There are discoverie­s to be made this week simply by chatting to family and friends. Following up the family tree? It is through some sharp investigat­ion that the most interestin­g things come to light. Something here throws a light on a possible future endeavour. A fresh look at what has gone before leads to a bit of a revelation personally. Your Luck: Perhaps you decide to walk in someone else’s footsteps, at least a little way. So exciting!

Pisces February 20 – March 20

The waters around you are stirring and this could be the time to get your life ship-shape. Deciding who you want as part of your crew is only one of the questions popping into your head. Stay sharp and pick your projects carefully. There is no point in wasting time on something that you know is very short-term. Some murky waters mean that you can’t see too far ahead this week. Your Luck: Your natural sonar is working just fine!

Leo July 23 – August 23

Dynamic social sparks are flying this week and urging you to get out there and make contact. Those who are seeking a partner, in any sense, have the best opportunit­y. This is more about finding a soulmate than just sex. Yes, those who are unattached may now consider being more serious. Long-term results are on your mind. Don’t let that stop you from making the most of a lucky period, though. Your Luck: Stay sharp for a one-off offer.

Sagittariu­s November 23 – December 21

Although a fairly quiet week, there are opportunit­ies to move ahead in love. Small glimmers of interest from someone new can be built upon. Of course, if they are shy or uncertain they may need a bit of encouragem­ent. Some folk have hidden depths and it’s fun finding out. The obvious way forward may not be the best one right now. Your Luck: Consider your options carefully.

Aries March 21 – April 20

Making changes to your overall appearance and attitude seem to go together at this time. Something that has been ‘bugging’ you for some time is now on your list of things to deal with. Keep an eye on spending but, most of all, expand your social links. Close relatives also need some attention and this is an ideal time to show that you care. Your Luck: Time spent this week on building new relationsh­ips pays off well.

Virgo August 24 – September 23

Gather about you those folk who you have not seen for some time. Have a get-together or visit them, maybe at weekends. Avoid losing contact with friends and relatives who you care about just because you are too busy. Do you take anyone for granted? We should all avoid that! Bringing others closer to your everyday life is much easier these days. Your Luck: No technology? Letters still work or maybe a card with your new details?

Capricorn December 22 – January 20

Slowly, this week, it dawns on you that there could be some changes coming. These will most likely be in your home or love life, maybe both. Hold back until you are sure of the moves of others. Asking questions should be done subtly and of those you can trust. You need to be something of a detective to get through this week with the best informatio­n. Your Luck: Actions could be best in the middle of next week when your hand is stronger.
