HOROSCOPE

Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 18) Best Day: Friday

Aquarians now gain a professional advantage. By recognising avenues to profit, the chance for lucrative negotiations increase. As well as financial gain, there appears a growing need to broaden your horizons. Spiritually, too, old ideas may be traded for newer doctrines or the intensity of your present commitment grows.

Pisces (Feb 19 - March 20) Best Day: Sunday

Traditional interpretations say that yours is the sign of the mystic. You absorb energies that less intuitive signs miss, though this can make you particularly vulnerable to stress. Not this week. For now, the cosmos keeps you constantly on the move, and trailblazing along that road to success. Even so, you’re also granted chances to play.

Aries (March 21 - April 20) Best Day: Sunday

The basis for success is independence, and you’re now ready and capable of going it alone. The ability to “tune in” into almost any situation has always been your special gift but even more so now, as you interact in a way that impresses others. As a direct result, doors previously closed will open, revealing sensational new opportunities.

Taurus (April 21 - May 20) Best Day: Friday

It’s time for a reality check, Taurus. Try to regain control, otherwise the cosmic forecast is for more upheaval. Have a little burning ceremony for any fading dreams that have already passed on. Even if you feel overwhelmed by the enormity of this task, the best course of action is to just get on with it. It will be cathartic.

Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Best Day: Monday

Routine is the natural enemy of the restless and vibrant Gemini. You’re always on the go, and this week blesses you with almost unlimited potential. Be prepared to ditch dead-end plans. Fortunately money’s not too much of a problem, so you can afford to play as hard as you work. Just watch out for injuries – you’re a tad more accident prone right now.

Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Best Day: Saturday

It’s in your nature to save for a rainy day. Good news indeed, at a time when the focus falls on money. Romance features just as strongly, so why not mix business with pleasure? This week suggests love that’s both attentive and passionate. Singles flirt; couples renew their passions. Friendships also grow, with established bonds becoming stronger.

Leo (July 23 - Aug 23) Best Day: Wednesday

Leos are the most vibrant and energetic of the zodiac signs. Ruled by the Sun, you radiate a warm, outgoing nature and never do anything by halves. You’re a born leader; an initiator – someone who loves to act, to do, to bring about change. But this week too much relentless ambition could be your downfall, so slide into the shadows for a while.

Virgo (Aug 24 - Sept 22) Best Day: Tuesday

Some describe you as a “perfectionist”, with negative implications saying that you’re too concerned with the trivial details of life. This isn’t true. You prefer to call it “discrimination” – in your mind, you need to be picky because not everything deserves your attention. So go ahead, trash whatever’s not working for you. After all, it’s your call. Libra

(Sept 23 - Oct 23) Best Day: Wednesday

With buried tensions suddenly erupting, others may not find you as accommodating as usual. It’s a pragmatic week in which you must abandon ambitions that have been rendered obsolete. Although disappointing, getting rid of the old helps you aim for all that’s new and exciting. Also keep an eye on unique ways to increase your income.

Scorpio (Oct 24 - Nov 22) Best Day: Thursday

Those with the Sun in Scorpio are special, mostly because very few people understand you. Yours is the sign which commands the most awe and respect. Quietly mysterious, others should never underestimate your silent strength – particularly this week. You know what’s going on, and mean to do something about it.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 21) Best Day: Saturday

You’re an optimist, born believing everything will work out fine. What’s more, you have the cheek of the devil, often embellishing your achievements – and usually getting away with it. Sometimes, though, you overstep the mark. Not so now. Sagittarian communication skills are first-class and you’re back in control. Even disruptions could work in your favour.

Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 20) Best Day: Monday

Capricorn is the sign that rules business, but it’s not just riches, power or success that you crave. You need to be recognised an individual who reaches their full potential. This week brings a life review. The value of friendship, the shelf life of dusty dreams and the repercussions of keeping emotions concealed are all issues that can be addressed.
