YOUR HOROSCOPE

- By Angela Barry

Cancer 21 Jun – 22 Jul Life is a pendulum – it swings between pleasure and pain. That’s how it goes. Keep this in mind whenever irksome circumstan­ces and faltering relationsh­ips threaten your peace of mind. Being emotionall­y attuned to almost everyone and everything can be tiresome, but you can choose simply to observe the pendulum rather than swing wildly with it. Repeat to yourself: this too shall pass.

Leo 23 Jul – 22 Aug Pack your bags. Any chance of a hiatus is over, quite suddenly, and you’re primed for a perfect move in the right direction. A leap of faith into bold new ventures is on the cards, purely because you’ve worked hard enough to earn it. Hug any opportunit­y to your chest and build on it bit by bit. There’s nothing more satisfying than flowing with fortuitous energy rather than against it.

Virgo 23 Aug – 22 Sept Creativity isn’t strictly reserved for ombré-haired artist types. Tapping into the mysterious mojo of making music, baking and breaking bread, or upcycling something from garage reject to shabby chic will not only make you feel infinitely more peaceful, but could tickle your prosperity spot. The knock-on effect of chipping away to discover hidden talents will pay dividends for months. You’ll see.

Libra 23 Sept – 22 Oct Getting back to your roots is key to a more peaceful midyear. To avoid feeling like a headless chicken as you buzz around, step back regularly for R&R of the sentimenta­l kind: play card games, go on nature walks, sort through ancient family photos or invite friends over. It’s vital that you engage in self-rememberin­g, as it reminds you that there’s a solid foundation beneath your superwoman feet.

Scorpio 23 Oct – 21 Nov Visualise the next few weeks as an ocean of possibilit­y teeming with intriguing new connection­s and scintillat­ing adventure. Boredom might be flavouring your mood now, but circumstan­ces are shifting towards a more captivatin­g relationsh­ip with life. Be alert to divine inspiratio­n in the form of invitation­s, eclectic people and events out of your comfort zone. And shrug off any doubts about your ability to impress.

Sagittariu­s 22 Nov – 21 Dec Telling it like it is could be risky, but necessary. Nurturing your innate honesty is more important than ever now, as there’s no point in flogging a deadbeat situation or associatio­n. Step back and consider what works for you and what doesn’t. Obviously, diplomacy goes hand-in-hand with making much-needed changes, but have the courage to say no, or yes, or maybe – and mean it. You’ll earn respect that way.

Capricorn 22 Dec – 19 Jan Take stock of exactly what you want done this month. It doesn’t have to be fancyschma­ncy, either; a thorough scrub-down of the kitchen deserves brownie points, too. Point is, an ordered mind and practical attitude work wonders for your self-confidence and general chutzpah over this very ‘physical’ period. The more hard labour you’re willing to do, the bigger the prize. Think of it as your barefoot phase.

Aquarius 20 Jan – 18 Feb So much to do, too little time to think. Much as you appreciate the opportunit­y to get ahead, it’s an understand­ably whacky, potentiall­y worrisome time. The universe has cannily thrown your wish eggs into one basket, forcing you to juggle everything at once. The good news, though, is that you’re handling things, and everything is heading for calm soon. You’re coping just fine.

Pisces 19 Feb – 20 Mar It’s all good – even if there’s nothing much to see yet. Building a foundation for your annual goal, bucket-list thing or tiny project has been a tad bothersome, but you’re out of the woods. Take a step back to review the achievemen­ts of the past six months. We often forget how far we’ve come because we’re so engrossed in the journey. Admire the view; you created it, after all.

Aries 21 Mar – 19 Apr It’s not that you’re itching for world domination. But with that va-va-voom energy straining to break free, why not accept that you’re the best woman for the job? Being the boss, taking the initiative and beating new paths to success are pretty much your forte over this auspicious period. Wield that pretty power stick well, and it won’t let you (or others) down.

Taurus 20 Apr – 20 May Actually, you can have it all. Until now, a frisson of selfdoubt meant half-hearted attempts at being fabulous. Change is inevitable, so why not make it a positive one? Shake up those long-held beliefs that you can’t ,or shouldn’t ,or mustn’t . If it feels good and doesn’t harm anyone, what’s not to love? Mute the naysayers and go your own way, gorgeous.

Gemini 21 May – 20 Jun A wee break sets you up for a focused stretch of getting things done. Naturally, this organised state of affairs appeals; you’re the gal with dreams of streamline­d solutions. The tricky bit? Running on empty isn’t smart. So boost your intake of greens, vitamins and the rest of the good stuff. Tripping over exhaustion on your way to the top isn’t the way to do it.
