Horoscopes

- By Carlos O’Connor

Aries March 21 – April 20

Try not to be impatient, especially in matters of romance. There are sure to be awkward moments when communicat­ions do not run smoothly. Is it possible that someone is playing for time? This could be the moment when showing interest in something else brings a better response. Go off at a tangent if you like but keep your eyes and ears well open! Compromise is likely. Your Luck: Stay sharp and you will soon see the best way forward is to use your charm.

Leo July 23 – August 23

Let your enthusiasm show and others will follow. This beats just asking as a way to get your desired co-operation. There is that Leo ego again. Most of the time it is an advantage but sometimes it does get in the way of progress! Still, you have it well balanced this week. Remember that you can show courage without really feeling it and soon it will become a reality. Your Luck: You may not wish to be open-hearted this week but it is still possible to share your wishes.

Sagittariu­s November 23 – December 21

A ragged feeling could put you off balance. This is mainly due to changes that are going on around you. With your time so much in demand it is important to look after yourself. Ditch the junk food and the sofa. Get moving and cooking some fresh and tasty vegetables. Be more relaxed and go with the flow, for what you cannot change is not worth worrying over. Your Luck: Try to see far ahead when changes now taking place bring you to just where you need to be.

Taurus April 21 – May 21

Look for that chance to shine this weekend. Until then you may be irked by the way that others misunderst­and you. Do they really though? Getting the impression that someone is playing a game it would be easy to strike out verbally. Try not to though. Although there is more going on than you understand it is not necessaril­y aimed at you or yours. People can be strange. Your Luck: All becomes clear at the weekend when you can show what you are really made of.

Virgo August 24 – September 23

Pay attention to a deal’s finer details. Not to do so could leave you out of pocket. Suddenly having to work out something for yourself can delay a plan but it is as well to be sure. What you want may change in the near future, so aim to be flexible. Being sure of your ambitions and dreams certainly helps any decisions. You don’t need to settle for second best. Your Luck: Give yourself time for a balanced picture to emerge even though emotions are involved.

Capricorn December 22 – January 20

Finances may be foremost in your mind. Thinking about how you can get to where you want to be work-wise brings up many possibilit­ies. Keep hold of the practical ones as the time for action will come. Just not right now! When it does, you will be relaxed and prepared having done your homework. Be very clear when making arrangemen­ts at home to avoid confusion. Your Luck: When you are busy it is easy to get a little muddled. Take care with small details in plans.

Gemini May 22 – June 21

An apparently big challenge can be managed by taking one step at a time. Some days there is so much going on around you that your world feels wobbly. This feeling is likely because others simply cannot make up their minds what they want. How annoying is that! Still, when you can’t move forward, sit down and take a good look around. You are not alone. Your Luck: When life becomes too slow for you, take the chance to plan ahead. Being prepared is worthwhile.

Libra September 24 – October 23

Listen carefully to what is going on around you as important informatio­n slips out. Your indecision gives others a chance to make you a better offer. Look for signs of dishonesty in someone who just wants to get their own way. Just because you are sympatheti­c does not mean that you have to be a pushover! When you do say ‘no’, please do it with conviction! Your Luck: Putting on your serious face this week should not mean that you feel negative. Just look it.

Aquarius January 21 – February 19

Frustratin­gly slow progress cannot be avoided. This is because challenges that you did not expect are being thrown up. Tackle one thing at a time and keep everything as simple as possible. When it comes to making decisions go for the practical solutions and take your own advice. You understand yourself far more than others do most of the time. Be confident and determined. Your Luck: Feeling alone? Others have gone here before you and succeeded. Better?

Cancer June 22 – July 22

Someone you helped out now has a chance to return the favour. It may not be easy to work together at first but soon common ground will be found. This kind of relationsh­ip can be invaluable at a time like this. The world feels wobbly and what you seek are concrete guarantees. Don’t we all? Things are changing, but make yourself comfortabl­e and have patience. Your Luck: Working alongside others is a good temporary way to get plans through the first or last stage.

Scorpio October 24 – November 22

There is a ripple of happiness running through this week. Making contact with people you have not seen for some time brings your sparkling smile into action. Indeed, if romance is in the air it is likely to be someone who you have known for some time. When chatting together you realise there are so many things that you have in common. Will you eventually see a future together? Your Luck: Being comfortabl­e with others is what you should aim for this week.

Pisces February 20 – March 20

Try not to be in awe of someone who can help your plans. Just ask. It is surprising how easy something can be once we have faced it and gone through that confidence barrier. At the moment it is likely that your natural talents are not being fully used. It is through these that you should be able to make new contacts and even friends. The first and only barrier is that lack of confidence again. Your Luck: Put a smile on your face and realise how great you are. Do others see it? If you can convince yourself then they will!
