Horoscopes

Virgo

August 24 – September 23

This week is mixed and emotional, but also full of chances to shine. Getting ahead seems to run more smoothly. Given the chance, family and friends could be a great asset. Some are keen to give a hand while others may hover in the background. Do they need some leadership from you? Probably. Caring and sharing works both ways so make sure others are pulling their weight. Your Luck: Believe in yourself and others will assume that you know what you are doing.

Capricorn December 22 – January 20

Be optimistic as this week begins. There is so much to do and people to convince, but you can do it. Of course, it means working hard in all directions. With that sharp brain of yours? Surely a doddle? Your role as peacemaker is not easily accepted as you can be impatient. Put your mind to it, though, and just see things fall into place around you. Yes, really! Your Luck: Put charm and time into all of your relationships this week. You will feel the benefits for months.

Taurus April 21 – May 21

Venus helps with both finances and love this week – not without some strong input from you! Sitting and waiting for the world to come to you won’t work. Getting out and about can lead to romance; the supermarket and park are good choices. Someone who is normally demanding seems to take a kinder attitude. You do need to let others know what you want or how can they tell? Your Luck: Don’t pass up sudden chances to shine at work. Show all that enthusiasm!

Libra September 24 – October 23

Keep your first goals in mind as your prospects improve. Some sidetracking is possible but not a good idea. Keeping life and work simple maintains a steady course. With so much going on in your personal life, surely that is essential? Overspending your energy quota could see an energy burnout. Just light the candle at one end. A balance is essential. Your Luck: When you feel happy there is a tendency to overindulge. Occasionally, good. All the time, not!

Aquarius January 21 – February 19

Neighbours’ comments get you thinking. Is your imagination running away with you? Taking an easy option here could see you miss a great social opportunity. A leap of faith is needed to move the situation along. Not easy? Well, many things that are worth doing aren’t! Still, easy is boring, surely? Getting your teeth into it could involve quite a few smiles! Your Luck: Do you ever really use your charm and charisma enough? We know not. This is your chance.

Gemini May 22 – June 21

Do you want to maximise your romance chances this week? Venus is there to help you and the weekend is a grand opportunity. Making the most of this time can be as simple as being together and alone. Avoid confusion by explaining what you want in very simple terms It is amazing what misunderstandings can occur if you don’t speak up! Be brave and reap the rewards. Your Luck: Show enthusiasm and energy to convince others that you are really in the game.

Scorpio October 24 – November 22

Venus is shining its light on romance and work alike. Don’t let your enthusiasm in this area drain your bank account though! Be firm when it comes to sob stories. Your kind heart seems to be showing. Is that because emotions are high? A summer problem indeed! Still, in all the heat and mayhem of life, a quiet oasis awaits your presence. What is their name? Your Luck: A week when your brain needs to be sharp at times. Think before you indulge in fantasy and love.

Pisces February 20 – March 20

An ear close to the ground brings social benefits this week. Someone who seems to be doing you a good turn may have their own agenda. A strange day at work sets you thinking about a colleague. Do they have some special interest in you? Keep thoughts to yourself to avoid jealousy at home. Finances should now show the improvements that they need. Your Luck: Put charm and time into that special relationship this weekend. Surprise benefits follow.

Cancer June 22 – July 22

Communications are buzzing and high-minded this week. You may consider investing in the future, either in financial terms or through further training. Cash is king and through this week offers are hard to refuse. Feeling powerful, you may prefer to dismiss those who want to be involved. However, they could be valuable at a later date. Keep a balance in your finances. Failing to do so is not something that you want to think about.

Sagittarius November 23 – December 21

Minute by minute and day by day you see improvements in your life. Something has been a long time coming. When you see it ahead, don’t hesitate. Yes, it really is there and is no illusion! See now how it is so important to believe in yourself? Believe that anything is possible but stay practical. Not so easy, though, at the weekend when love comes calling. Your Luck: Help others to take a softer approach to each other. The world has enough problems.

Aries March 21 – April 20

In a week of secrets and whispers, keep your personal data safe. Avoid indulging in gossip which could backfire. If you want romance to flourish, intimate time alone is essential. Venus is there to help, all you have to do is be extra attentive and listen to your partner. Unattached? That invitation at the weekend needs accepting, or maybe issue one of your own? Your Luck: Find out what is going on and aim to make your own opportunities. Can you give what others want?
