Horoscopes

- by Carlos O’Connor

Virgo August 24 – September 23

A large part of the week may be taken up with getting organised for what is clearly a new start. Regrets are not now relevant as you clear the decks and set sail for the future. Being used to working hard towards your goals, this comes naturally to you. Who, though, will be your ‘crew’ on this new voyage? Clearly those who have disappoint­ed need not apply! Your Luck: Avoid old loyalties that have mainly been displaced, holding you back. The only real way is forward.

Capricorn December 22 – January 20

In getting involved with helping others you may have been straining your resources. Begin, this week, to improve this side of things. By using delaying tactics, gain a little time to get organised. A great deal of support is available. Do not think that by using it you are showing weakness. What you expect others to take from you, you must be prepared to accept yourself. Your Luck: Charity may begin at home this week and why on earth not? Accept graciously.

Taurus April 21 – May 21

A strong feeling of anti-climax can stop you in your tracks this week. Some changes are hard to adjust to but, yes, you’re expected to do it. Getting into a more relaxed frame of mind may take a few days but is what you need. Helping others get things right rather than doing things for them is more satisfying. You can see a good result by the weekend. Your Luck: Don’t like asking for help? You could be doing someone a favour by doing so. We all want to feel needed.

Libra September 24 – October 23

When the world feels shaky we try to hold on to what we understand. Now you may be asking yourself to step into a future where you can’t be entirely in control. If this makes you feel uncomforta­ble, think what the alternativ­e is. Patience there is in abundance but a rut isn’t something you intend getting stuck in! Bringing someone new to the debate? Listen. Your Luck: Building from the bottom up may seem a pain but it is the only way to get a good foundation.

Aquarius January 21 – February 19

Shocked at how quickly things have moved on? Being confused by everyone’s different standards? Keep yours strong. Nothing has really changed except attitudes. That may seem a big deal but calmer times are coming. Being a part of something bigger has made you think bigger. See how that can be used when it comes to taking on a new task. Your Luck: Don’t rule out starting a new relationsh­ip simply because of lack of time. Planning ahead is all the rage now!

Gemini May 22 – June 21

In thinking about your immediate future there may have been a lot of chopping and changing of your opinions. That’s understand­able given some uncertaint­y. This week, however, there’s a calmer, more thoughtful feeling. Seeing how others have behaved recently, you realise some are unreliable and others have surprised you with their common sense and wisdom. Your Luck: Choose your team for the future ahead. Now you should know who you want by your side.

Scorpio October 24 – November 22

Those who have instilled confidence and hope in your mind are the ones to seek out now. Getting your team together to start on the future is inspiring and satisfying. Unexpected­ly, there seem to be no shortage of those willing to help. Perhaps they see a sure-fire winner when they see it? The best advice comes from those who know you well, not strangers. Your Luck: Building further on relationsh­ips already made makes life run smoothly. It takes a while to adjust to calm!

Pisces February 20 – March 20

As you see others coming to terms with changes, you wish there were more in your view. They will come, but make sure they are the right ones. By being a little more determined and honest, speaking your mind brings results. Don’t aim to make everyone your friend but do aim to get their respect. Look them in the eye and be clear about what you expect. Your Luck: By acting strong you will become strong. See a change of attitude when demanding with a smile.

Cancer June 22 – July 22

An appreciati­on of those around you has been building up over the last few months. Those who have been disappoint­ing may have faded away which doesn’t overly concern you. Fresh moves at work now show results of efforts made some time ago. Once your talents are appreciate­d it spurs you on to create more opportunit­ies and ideas. Momentum is yours! Your Luck: Your enthusiasm may well outreach energy, so pace yourself. Organising others works!

Sagittariu­s November 23 – December 21

There have been moments of stark loneliness over the last few months, is that right? Connection­s with others have been tenuous and strained. This does not chime well with your personalit­y and therefore makes it uncomforta­ble. Midweek sees some trouble brewing but it does not seem to be yours. Save yourself the drama and do your own thing, somewhere else! Your Luck: Slowly getting out of the loop that you have been in goes better than expected. Be subtle when making changes.

Aries March 21 – April 20

A close relationsh­ip softens this week as the everyday gives more freedom. Any recent disputes seem to be forgotten with the realisatio­n that they weren’t important to start with. You don’t have to expect so much of yourself right now and that relieves any pressure. Getting back the upper hand doesn’t mean you have to use it in all circumstan­ces. Your Luck: Flexible thinking and feeling gives a clear mind – an asset right now.
