Horoscopes

Taurus April 21 – May 21

Someone seems very keen to help you fulfil your ambitions. Even so, there are days this week when you’d rather ignore the decisions that are needed. This is important, so don’t rush into anything headlong. Midweek something that you find out about a friend leaves you feeling a chill of disappoint­ment. Are you right to question your instincts? Go to the source. Your Luck: You cannot distrust your instincts if you were given the wrong informatio­n.

Virgo August 24 – September 23

When offered an opportunit­y this week, make sure it is worthwhile financiall­y. Take advice about it if necessary. On a more personal note, someone’s attitude toward you may make you sense that you have done something wrong. Before you get into that, however, find out what they expect from you in the longer term. Are they trying to change you? Your Luck: Any change in your beliefs is likely to be temporary. Make that clear to someone who nags.

Capricorn December 22 – January 20

Consider starting something from the beginning if it doesn’t seem to be working. This can be especially true of any social or health issues. Second opinions seem to be the order of the week! Don’t let some disappoint­ing news midweek get you down. Take a lighter touch to the weekend. Having some fun can clear your head. You’ll think better after it. Your Luck: A few little treats for yourself and others is a fun distractio­n. Nothing is all good or all bad.

Gemini May 22 – June 21

Getting together with others, be it socially or for business, should go swimmingly. A recent misunderst­anding can easily be put behind you. Someone is as keen to sort it out as you are! Working together can eliminate stress. Kinder words are spoken and bring a balance back to the work-home relationsh­ip. Show your interest in what a loved one is doing. Your Luck: You may neglect someone and not feel their anger. Ignore them, though, at your peril.

Libra September 24 – October 23

Taking a practical and slow-burning attitude works for both love and work. Someone who you admire turns out not to have all the qualities that you’d hoped. The question is, can you accept someone who is not perfect? It could be some time before someone who is comes along. Your high standards can leave you feeling alone. Is that better? Your Luck: No rush to make a decision on love. If someone cares enough they will sense your disquiet.

Aquarius January 21 – February 19

Although you’re fond of others you don’t want to be with them all the time. The fact is that you’re a bright individual who finds many people boring. You can’t help that and it doesn’t value them any less. However, try to be tactful when dealing with old friends. A weekend gathering can put a stop to any past misunderst­andings. Your Luck: Taking up a new interest keeps that mind of yours fully occupied. You know how important that is!

Cancer June 22 – July 22

Has one relationsh­ip been a bit one-sided? Maybe taking someone close for granted has caused bad feelings? Well, you’ll never know if you don’t ask! Nobody is seeking attention for fun here. They genuinely need your advice and a caring attitude. Too wound up in work? That’s not a recipe for success. Are you leaving your cake out in the rain? Your Luck: A soggy attitude will get a soggy response. Deal with a sensitive situation or risk a misunderst­anding.

Scorpio October 24 – November 22

A slowdown in plans comes at a time of a slowdown in energy levels. Have you been exhausting yourself? This is good in that it gives you time to change plans. It also gives the chance to get to know someone better. They may feel like a natural soulmate now but give it time. You may know when things are right. It’s unlikely to be so right now. Your Luck: Although it keeps life tidy to decide and get things out of the way, pause. Something is coming.

Pisces February 20 – March 20

Life is as confusing for you as it is for others. Sometimes, especially this week, you can’t pinpoint what you want. Clearly there are those who value and cherish you. Can you be guided by them though? Well, certainly not if you take a stubborn attitude! Use your imaginatio­n when dealing with others. They can’t always help it if they don’t see things as you do. Your Luck: Feeling like a fish out of water? Get into an environmen­t that makes sense to you.

Leo July 23 – August 23

A certain kind of standoffis­hness seems to be going on around you. Think you know why? You could be wrong. If you’re going to wait until someone makes the first move on an important matter, you could be in for a long wait! Still, have a bit more patience and someone else could come and save the moment for you. Never be tempted to move in haste. Your Luck: If you want to make the most of an opportunit­y, find out more. Rivals? Cause a distractio­n.

Sagittariu­s November 23 – December 21

Be patient when things slow down around you. Make the most of any extra spare time to get together with others. This could be more to help you with a decision than to just be sociable. Those who have not seen you for some time can be helpful for advice. However, make sure that you give them all the facts, good and bad. Don’t dress anything up but yourself! Your Luck: Use the weekend to good effect. Fun might have been hard to come by lately, but not right now!
