YOUR STARS
ARIES (MARCH 20-APRIL 18)
Watch-out for emotionally over-reacting and upsetting those whom you care about most. You’ll be left feeling bad and repairing the damage could take some time. Rather take charge of your frustration and direct it instead into physical activity or other constructive action.
TAURUS (APRIL 19-MAY 19)
Although the material side of life is important, currently it is relationships that are your best investment. Put extra effort into strengthening support networks and renewing neglected connections. Don’t sit back and wait for others, be the one to take the first step.
GEMINI (MAY 20-JUNE 20)
You’re discovering that you need more security than you realised. As a result you aren’t keen to take risks or to explore new avenues. For now, listen to the voice of caution and don’t be swayed by the reactions of friends. It’s fine if they don’t understand.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 21)
You are in an unusually impulsive mood and along with this goes a good dose of impatience. As a result you could be accident prone or do something out of character that you regret later. Before leaping in, take a few deep breaths and reassess.
LEO (JULY 22-AUGUST 21)
On the one hand you want stability. On the other you are ready for some excitement. This creates an inner turmoil that makes it difficult to think clearly or to focus your attention. Too much stimulation will make it worse, so keep life simple.
VIRGO (AUGUST 22-SEPTEMBER 21)
Getting fed-up with others is an indication that you aren’t taking good care of yourself. Rather than expecting them to change, take responsibility for your own needs. This might initially create some waves, but after a while they will settle.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 22-OCTOBER 22)
You are not in any rush, but others have different ideas and their anxiety can be catching. Don’t allow yourself to be emotionally manipulated or swept up in dramas that aren’t yours. This is not the time for being accommodating.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23-NOVEMBER 21)
Disruptions make for an upside down week that tests you ability to be flexible. Although it is often annoying, sometimes it is also a relief not be bound by the usual routines. So, let go and don’t waste energy fretting about what is beyond your control.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22-DECEMBER 22)
It is time to get serious, tie-up loose ends and make a decision about the next step. This means less outward focus and more behind the scenes, solitary work. This will take some self-discipline, but you have the willpower to do it.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 23-JANUARY 19)
This is a dynamic time for interpersonal relationships, bringing stimulating encounters and opportunities to engage in joint projects. There are also challenges around handling the inevitable differences. Rather than trying to control outcomes, let the other person take the lead.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20-FEBRUARY 18)
As people will be quick to take offence, it’s best to tread carefully around those with whom you work. Even if what you have to say is true, it won’t fall on receptive ground, so rather keep you opinions to yourself. See it as an act of kindness.
PISCES (FEBRUARY 19-MARCH 19)
Much that is happening is good, but it comes with some responsibilities and extra work. The sooner you accept the situation, the sooner you can make progress with what has to done. Start by sorting out unfinished business that keeps you tied to the past.
