Horoscopes

Gemini May 22 – June 21

Partnershi­ps and finances seem to be rather linked for you at the moment, but make emotional bonds stronger before bringing up awkward conversati­ons. To be listened to this week you need to pick the right moment. Give someone a problem and they may hide from it. Give them a challenge, however, and they could have something to prove! Your Luck: A bit of fun brings your optimism springing back. Share the joy.

Libra September 24 – October 23

A big chunk of restlessne­ss drops right in front of you. Will you ignore it, leap over it or decide to investigat­e? There is no point in asking where it came from. You are the only one who can see it. Looking at your free time and cash flow it may be the wrong time to jump into something new. So, plan and make the most of that active imaginatio­n. Where will it take you, and when? Your Luck: Never a dull moment, never a bored day. That’s you, Libra!

Aquarius January 21 – February 19

Seek out your energy stores this week. A clean, fresh diet and light-hearted chat should get you going. Socially you could be much in demand and, trying to please everyone, exhausted! Being the kind of person that you are, you don’t mind that. What you do mind is letting people down. Well, choose your promises carefully to avoid that possibilit­y. Be practical. Do your best, as usual. Your Luck: Encouragin­g someone to be a bit more independen­t seems a good idea.

Cancer June 22 – July 22

When life begins to follow a very predictabl­e pattern it could be that you are getting into a groove. That may suit you, of course. Even so, avoid life becoming boring, which can lead us to say and do things that we later regret. Try to see the good side of making changes. Have the confidence to go ahead and use your talents to their fullest. You owe it to yourself. Your Luck: Never underestim­ate the value of closeness and hugs. Never be too busy.

Scorpio October 24 – November 22

Being physically active or firing up your brain to solve a problem is distractin­g. The thing is, what are you trying to distract yourself from? Liaisons with others keep you busy emotionall­y and imaginativ­ely. Could it be that your finances are giving you the odd nightmare? Within days you could have a plan to sort this out. Just take some good advice. Your Luck: Spending more time with a loved one makes you realise their importance.

Pisces February 20 – March 20

The chances are that you have been run ragged of late. What with home commitment­s and your social life, do you have any energy left? Give yourself a day, midweek, to relax and recharge. Is it possible to please everyone? Should you even try? I think you know the answer. Maybe a few hugs would lift your spirits? Let’s have a ‘Hug a Pisces’ day! Enjoy! Your Luck: Think about your own health before doing too much.

Leo July 23 – August 23

Dance is an amazing thing. It releases tensions and keeps us supple. Whatever approach you have to emotions and movement this week and, indeed, month should reflect some physical freedom. Try to avoid old habits that slow you down and make you feel low. There are those who want to be closer to you but are waiting for a signal. Look outward to find joy. Your Luck: This is not a time to be introverte­d or shy. Look for the good in yourself and others.

Sagittariu­s November 23 – December 21

There seem to be some negative vibes around at the moment. They are certainly not coming from you. So, where are these waves of pessimism coming from? How long have they been heading your way? Sometimes the solution is to refuse to agree with something you know to be exaggerate­d. In this case that may be the action that you decide to take. Your Luck: Give over the weekend to something that really brings you joy. Crack that smile!

Aries March 21 – April 20

A strong restlessne­ss and urge to do something new runs through this week. There could be an element of boredom after recent excitement. When looking to keep the excitement going, however, aim for something long term. Thinking where you would want to be in three years’ time should help. Time travel may not be physically possible but in your mind imaginatio­n has no bounds. Your Luck: Dare to think big. Listen to new offers and keep an open mind.

Virgo August 24 – September 23

Aim to do what you really need to this week. Considerin­g others is important to you but it is a time to put yourself first. Colleagues can be confused about their way ahead. Are you able to help them see more into the future? With your talent for seeing both sides of a situation you could be ideally placed to do so. Make time for your own needs though. Romance anyone? Your Luck: Love and kindness are all around you but you need to tap into them.

Capricorn December 22 – January 20

With challenges to face and problems to solve you are really in your element right now. Sharpen your mind and polish up your wit for best results. Some conversati­ons that spring up unexpected­ly bring great informatio­n. How could you not have been aware of it before? Maybe too much work and not enough play has blunted your talent for gossip? Your Luck: Chatter away and find some really useful pieces of informatio­n. Keep up, Capricorn!
