Horoscopes

Scorpio October 24 – November 22

Moving on from a rather dry and even boring week, your progress is clear to see. Of course you want life to be more exciting! Start by planning something unusual for the festive season. The days right after are ripe to get people out. Chivvy them along on their New Year resolution­s. Too early to plan that? I don’t think so, especially if it’s something special! Your Luck: Having a bit of a clear out of closets and emotions is what you need now. Hoover, blub, shout. Whatever!

Sagittariu­s November 23 – December 21

The thought of a late holiday or a weekend away is tempting. If there is nothing to stop you, then do think about it seriously. Others, both socially and in business, are wanting to meet you. Are you ready to show your true self and even boast of your talents? Please do. It is unlikely they would be impressed with a ‘church mouse’ even if you have a sweet squeak! Your Luck: Be ready to avoid a seismic squabble within the family. Maybe that weekend away is near?

Capricorn December 22 – January 20

This is a good time of the year to decide which friends you really want to spend time with. As you become busier it would be silly to waste time with tedious people. It can also lead to you neglecting those who really matter. Family becomes important with the news of a new addition. A seismic shift in your emotions is not unexpected. Even so, it comes as a surprise to you. Your Luck: Feelings run high and you get, at last, some appreciati­on for your hard work.

Aquarius January 21 – February 19

Recent questions have given you many answers. Feel free to talk again if something changes or is not clear. There may have been a few guilty feelings over the last week. Maybe your progress seems unfair when compared to others. No, you deserve luck and that is what it mostly is. Although you can certainly influence things, yours is not the last word. Your Luck: You feel like sorting out problems and rationalis­ing life. Not so easy but, hey! Don’t you just love a challenge?

Pisces February 20 – March 20

So much energy! Others may become tired out trying to keep up with you. Pay special attention to someone who is trying to make light of an illness. They may not want to make a fuss, but that doesn’t stop you from making a fuss over them! The chances are that you both need a quiet and gentle love right now. There may be healing to do and amends to make. Your Luck: Spending time with nature clears your mind. Why not share this with someone you care about?

Aries March 21 – April 20

A more light-hearted approach this week finally clears the air. Misunderst­andings happen from time to time despite our best efforts. It’s easier to concentrat­e now you have less to think about. Keeping an eye on finances probably means saying ‘no’ to a few luxury items. Of course, if someone else wants to buy them for you, that’s another matter! Allow others to show their support. Your Luck: Be guided by the success stories of others you know.

Taurus April 21 – May 21

Still working your way through that ‘to do’ list? Well, keep going. Feel the sense of satisfacti­on when you finish it! If a task seems too much at the moment, let others be generous with their time. Working together can mean finding simpler ways to reach your goals. Two heads are better than one! Finding it hard to concentrat­e? Now where is that list again? Your Luck: There are times when it is right to concentrat­e on your own needs and emotional cravings. Right now!

Gemini May 22 – June 21

Someone who you worked with on a project last week is still proving their worth. Encourage talent where you see it. The fact that you are true to your word brings admiration. It could even prompt someone to make a romantic gesture! Are you able to help someone who is facing a problem that you have been through yourself? It shows that your knowledge is in demand. Your Luck: Feeling uncomforta­ble about a certain friendship? You really need to clear the air now.

Cancer June 22 – July 22

The emphasis on your social life turns more to your work this week. You can still combine the two at the weekend if you wish. Keep life simple, especially financiall­y, although it may seem like a rather boring period. Did someone share a worry or secret with you last week? Consider coming back to them for an update. Just an encouragin­g word may be enough. Your Luck: Be prepared for your ‘to do’ list to be more about making you happy than about others. It is needed.

Leo July 23 – August 23

In what is still a very busy week, you may have to make lists of your lists! Still, every effort is worth the startling progress that’s possible. Avoid, midweek, letting sentimenta­lity push you in the wrong direction. Be sure that anything you offer is deliverabl­e and desirable. The more organised you are, the louder success bangs on your door. Fancy some peace and quiet? Your Luck: This week signals a chance to think again about a new decision. A new month, a new strategy?

Virgo August 24 – September 23

Are you thinking of making changes at work? Do you see how open the possibilit­ies are for you? Although you have to consider finances, splitting your time could be as good as making a gigantic decision. This is the time to make the most of your charm and show your value in different areas. You won’t realise how experience­d you are until you set it down on paper. Your Luck: It is hard to see yourself as you really are. Maybe concentrat­e on how you want to be?

Libra September 24 – October 23

Being well on the way to putting something right, you can afford to feel a little satisfacti­on. Keep a sharp eye open for anyone or anything that tries to sidetrack your purpose. Yes, it sounds like a pretty intense week, doesn’t it? There are short, bright and even sparkling moments, though. Energy may not be high and any health problems need dealing with promptly. Your Luck: Do everything you can to build your self-confidence. Measure yourself by your own standards.
