YOUR STARS

ARIES (MARCH 20-APRIL 18)

Life continues to move in a positive direction and you have reason to be excited. Although there is no shortage of opportunities to get out and about, listen to the urge to slow the pace and spend gentle time around family or quietly at home.

TAURUS (APRIL 19-MAY 19)

It’s a time for bold action and calculated risktaking especially in matters related to domestic life or property. So put your usual caution aside and grasp the moment. Generous-hearted acts of kindness will also be rewarded and leave you feeling good about yourself.

GEMINI (MAY 20-JUNE 20)

A tricky situation puts you on the spot. You can’t just brush it aside – it has to be addressed which means going into territory you’d rather avoid. On a lighter note, lift your spirits by heading off for a day’s outing, preferably in charming company.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 21)

Make use of a fresh injection of energy to get moving with ideas that you’ve been entertaining. You only have to take one step and the rest will follow naturally. When it comes to finances, be careful of overdoing the urge to splurge.

LEO (JULY 22-AUGUST 21)

This encouraging period brings opportunities to widen your personal horizons. It’s great to have a sense of possibilities, but you’re not quite ready to put all your energy behind anything new. First digest recent events and do behind-the-scenes preparation.

VIRGO (AUGUST 22-SEPTEMBER 21)

Generally life is going well. There are some commitments that can’t be avoided, but the sooner you see to them, the sooner you can get on with more pleasurable activities. Reach out to your circle of friends, especially those with whom you feel a close bond.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 22-OCTOBER 22)

This continues to be an upbeat phase in which life is showing you its friendly face. Follow through on any unexpected offers that appear. Don’t be afraid to shine as you don’t help anyone by playing small. If you’re single, romance could come your way.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23-NOVEMBER 21)

Career contacts made now will bear fruit in the future. Keep your long-term aims in mind, rather than getting caught up in a rush of excitement and grasping at quick fixes. Should you have to deal with people in authority, the process will go smoothly.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22-DECEMBER 22)

Positive affirmations are showing you that you are on the right track. It’s important however that you don’t scatter your attention in too many directions. Make choices and do what you do whole-heartedly. Also, tackle any areas that aren’t working.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 23-JANUARY 19)

A problem that you thought you’d resolved resurfaces. There is one last thing to be sorted out and the sooner you do so the better. Luckily, you can rely on those who matter to be understanding. Gains can also be made from pooling resources.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20-FEBRUARY 18)

You are being faced by a situation that requires insight into power dynamics and what makes people tick. If you’ve hit a wall, get input from someone who is at home in the realm of emotional intelligence. To balance the intensity, relax in warm company.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 19-MARCH 19)

Finances get a boost, but there are unexpected expenses plus you are in an extravagant mood. Keep a check on spending and it will all balance out. Seeds you sow now will thrive in the future. Activities or projects involving kids are especially favoured.
