Horoscopes

- by Carlos O’Connor

Virgo August 24 – September 23

A more active week leads into a little pool of contentmen­t at the weekend. It’s not Olympic yet but who knows how big it could grow? Never afraid to put in some hard work, it’s often your key to success. Someone who’s left your sphere of influence is still on your mind. Remember that regrets should always be kept in the past. Something about spilt milk? Your Luck: Filling your mind with future possibilit­ies should be enough to keep the momentum going.

Capricorn December 22 – January 20

Trying to keep up with everything that is going on may seem difficult at the moment. However, by the end of this week you will have the mental equipment to deal with anything. With your confidence returning and your talents again on show it is time to step up to the demand. Are your competitor­s still in the doldrums? Be the first off the mark then. Ready, set... Your Luck: Do you feel that dynamic spark returning? At first you may not believe it. Now, though, you must!

Taurus April 21 – May 21

Being an easy-going character this week means that others confide in you. Any bad luck stories are likely to be a bit depressing for you to hear. However, keeping a sense of humour maintains a balanced picture, which is what we could all do with at the present time. A young relative may need practical help but be sure they are going about it the right way before offering. Your Luck: Do something for yourself at the weekend, especially if you can also repay a partner.

Libra September 24 – October 23

Something that was worrying you seems to be passing without much incident. A little time can make all the difference. Steer clear from going down that same road again, even if someone recommends it. You know what’s best for you more than anyone else. A loved one needs your special brand of attention more than you know. They don’t want to appear needy. Your Luck: Is it time you let someone help you instead of always being the one to help others? You need to relax!

Aquarius January 21 – February 19

Full of mental energy but the body not matching up? You are still able to plot and plan. Getting finances in hand is a good start when going into a project. Negotiate if there is something you want that is almost out of reach. A way can be found if you are willing to communicat­e and charm. A practical and prepared approach sees you in the best place at the right time. Your Luck: Believe that this is happening and make the most of your golden opportunit­ies.

Gemini May 22 – June 21

Curb any socially bad habits that may have crept up on you. Being in some situations seems natural enough but nature can backfire if you overdo it. Listen to your body and health. Ignoring any different sensations here can be harmful. Be brave when facing unusual circumstan­ces by all means. Even so, keeping yourself healthy is more important to your family. Your Luck: What is lost can be regained but maybe in a different way.

Scorpio October 24 – November 22

Overall you should be pleased with progress, but you can be such a perfection­ist that there may be some niggles left. Dark corners that shy away from the light of inspection probably don’t have anything to hide. Even so, just check, especially if it could be something legal! Give encouragem­ent to your partner even if you don’t agree with their point of view. Your Luck: Much as you want to protect everyone, sometimes others have to do things on their own.

Pisces February 20 – March 20

A crop of coincidenc­es this week lead you in a different direction. This could come just as a decision is needed, which is helpful. You crave normality. It will come sooner if you make the most of each day and keep cheerful. You don’t have to go with the flow if you need to make some changes personally. Appreciati­on comes your way at the weekend. Your Luck: Give romance a chance. You may take a while to get in the mood and relaxed enough to care, but try!

Cancer June 22 – July 22

Acute feelings of loss come and go through the week but ease once you share your concerns with another. Having been used to communicat­ing less you may try to deal with every emotion yourself. That’s not practical long term as well you know. Many of us have come out of an emergency situation feeling that something has been lost. Your Luck: Many things change around us and we have no choice. This change has a silver lining that will always be with you.

Sagittariu­s November 23 – December 21

Although you may not feel particular­ly romantic, something you see or read turns your head in that direction. Have you lost touch with the sensitive and sensual? That is not surprising in view of recent events. Even so, try to relax and remember the good times. They will be coming back very soon and you need to be able to fully engage with your emotions. Your Luck: A feeling that you should always be in control can be misguided, especially when it comes to romance.

Aries March 21 – April 20

You’re determined to make changes this week. Your patience is running thin with some younger members of the family. Have any necessary chats rather than keep quiet and get upset. What you say will be heard even though it may not seem so at the time. Your social conscience sees you in tune with those who are seeing a hard time. Sympathy may turn into practical help. Your Luck: The chance to make a new friend may not be top of your priorities but this one could be special.
