Libra

September 24 – October 23

Something you know is right needs bringing to attention. Those in authority, perhaps at work, may try to distract your purpose, but your sense of fairness will ensure you are heard. Those who resent or criticise your kindness don’t deserve your help. Plenty are sharing your kindness, but their voices may not be as loud. Continue to seek the closeness with another you deserve. Your Luck: Slow moments this month help you find yourself after a period of disruption.

Aquarius

January 21 – February 19

Stop fussing over a dilemma that can’t be solved and get out and relax. It’s time to turn a corner. The desire to go for what you want is strong. Do you deny yourself because of loyalty to outdated ideas? The world changes, people change, ideas change. A few deep conversati­ons bring about the understand­ing you need. Did you think you were the only one? Your Luck: Talking brings knowledge, surprises, smiles and understand­ing. Why would you not seek all of those?

Gemini

May 22 – June 21

Keep your social engagement­s and promises even though it’s a busy time. With many tasks both at home and work it would be easy to neglect loved ones. Can they help? A younger person may welcome the chance to understand your work more. You have knowledge that’s useful and interestin­g to share. If something is annoying you it may be necessary to think back. Your Luck: Feeling dissatisfi­ed? Is there something you wish you’d finished in the past?

Scorpio

October 24 – November 22

A busy time will remind you of how organised you’ve been before. Can you concentrat­e and get things in line now? Changes at work may not be unexpected. Give yourself time to think before commenting. Progress comes through looking after the details and taking time to plan. Sounds dry and boring? Ah, but then we move forward! Your Luck: Personal relationsh­ips matter more than you give them credit for. If everyone disappeare­d, who would you call back?

Pisces

February 20 – March 20

Let your dreamier side take over. You know what they say about imaginatio­n… use it or lose it! Although you may ask the opinion of others, in the end you know the answers to your own questions. Well, at least the answers that you want to hear! So, it is not a time to be practical, methodical or diligent in your personal emotions. Your heart will insist on guiding you. Your Luck: Stay sharp when someone tells you why you should not change something. Why?

Cancer

June 22 – July 22

Pushing ahead with plans shows just how much support you have. Socially it’s a great week. Trust your instincts more rather than trying to over-analyse everything. Life can be as simple as you care to make it. You may have a need for stimulatio­n, though. If this is physical then try taking up an activity to burn that energy. If it’s emotional then you need to learn to share your feelings. Your Luck: Think you share your thoughts already? More is better. Truly share.

Sagittariu­s

November 23 – December 21

Getting out and about and meeting new people is very rewarding at the moment. Your imaginatio­n will show the way. Things may be going well but could be so much better. How? By your pulling out all the stops and putting in a big piece of personal effort. There are some wonders on offer but check out the facts and seek the opinion of loved ones. Your Luck: So, if someone tells you to keep quiet about something that you consider trivial, ask yourself why? Check!

Aries

March 21 – April 20

A wonderful week for making friends and enjoying the company of family. You might have misunderst­ood someone’s attitude towards you. Talking is good and can reveal many things. Some days it’s hard to concentrat­e but it’s worth the effort. The more you take charge of your life now, the more success you’ll have in the future. Tie up loose financial ends. Your Luck: At this change in seasons there can be some social confusion. Remind yourself of important dates.

Leo

July 23 – August 23

In an amazingly productive week, make the most of both your energy and talents. Get finances in order and organise the months ahead socially to give you the peace of mind to make progress. You may see this as a business matter but realise that success also enhances life at home. It seems that everyone wants a slice of you this week – you may have to make another list! Your Luck: It’s so good to be in demand, isn’t it? OK, so it can get a bit overwhelmi­ng at times. Organise.

Capricorn

December 22 – January 20

Someone nearby can increase your knowledge and give you a new outlook on life. Aim to stop thinking about yourself in terms of success or failure. See the whole person. You need support and satisfacti­on. No, it is not too much to ask! Parts of your life can be completely changed but you need to use your charm and talents. Do you realise just how persuasive you can be? Your Luck: Get rid of any negative influences in your life. Please! You don’t need them.

Taurus

April 21 – May 21

Partnershi­ps and relationsh­ips in general are really sparkling right now and you should be feeling at your very best. The trouble is, with so much going on it’s hard to concentrat­e! Get that ‘to do’ list out and work your way through it. Maybe you have taken on too much? Don’t be afraid to ask for help or a delay on a project. The main thing is to stay in control. Your Luck: Keep in close touch with loved ones and friends even though you may not have time to see them.

Virgo

August 24 – September 23

Both socially and in business it’s a creative and forward-thrusting time. There are profound changes going on around and inside your sphere. There is the chance to show your talents. Give yourself the self-belief and confidence to let it all shine through. Others need your input and, having received it, will find it hard to go without! Be determined to stay on this new path. Your Luck: Avoid dropping back into old habits and old beliefs by surroundin­g yourself with positive influences.
