YOUR HOROSCOPE

- By Angela Barry

Scorpio 23 Oct – 21 Nov

It is a birthday month for some, and a recovery from celebratin­g for others – it’s a good, solid chunk of time to make amends, gather new friends and look ahead! Feel buoyed and caressed by the bushels of souls who love you, as you’ve rightly earned the rep for loyalty and steadfastn­ess among those who matter. Lap it up, and reciprocat­e.

Pisces 19 Feb – 20 Mar

Miscommuni­cation may trip you up, leaving a litter of tongue-twisting confusion in its wake. The cheery news, though, is that your mental prowess is escalating beyond genius level, giving you ample space to clear up any relationsh­ip knots (not just your own) and smooth over wrinkles at work. Choosing words carefully is the trick.

Cancer 21 Jun – 22 Jul

A blizzard of unexpected emotions may tilt you offkilter for a bit, but not for long. The lesson here is to determine why – and how to manage those veinpoppin­g moments. Perhaps you need that holiday more than you think; or your boundaries could use a sound, firm repair job. Start small: focus on slaying each day as positively as possible.

Sagittariu­s 22 Nov – 21 Dec

It won’t take much to get you thinking (rather than sinking), so today’s best to begin whatever it is that you have put off – or feared most. A concerted effort to relish life’s small moments gives you the headstart needed. If something annoys you, take it on the chin. You are certainly worth far more than the sum of all your irritation­s.

Aries 21 Mar – 19 Apr

Flicking the ‘off’ switch may seem risky, but with your endless capacity for regenerati­on, a firm break from reality is a must-have. Bounding about squishing fires and solving everyone’s hysterics might fuel that charitable nature; but you’re more useful to us rested than slumped in an overworked, undervalue­d heap. Share the load.

Leo 23 Jul – 22 Aug

A bad day can quite stealthily morph into an atrocious month if the habits and patterns you pick aren’t in tune with a happy, healthy you. Engage in soulful introspect­ion more often than not if nerves are frazzled, and even if you’re evenkeeled, do it anyway. Make quiet time mandatory at this hip-hoppity, hectic time of year.

Capricorn 22 Dec – 19 Jan

Consider karma this month – even if you don’t believe in that spiritual philosophy, the concept of reaping rewards in return for sowing good deeds is a worthwhile benefit to bear in mind, given your recent lucky streak. Share whatever it is that is pleasing to you and positive in your world, giving unconditio­nally and spreading the love.

Taurus 20 Apr – 20 May

Generally, the push and pull of other people’s business doesn’t pique your interest; but getting involved is probably wise, given the tenuous vibe colouring close relationsh­ips in this phase. Be kind, charmingly honest, and as understand­ing as possible – not always easy when egos jostle for position. Put your own on the back burner for now.

Virgo 23 Aug – 22 Sept

Messing about with memories of lost loves and missed chances will only make you morose. Swing into November with better entertainm­ent and a brainbox full of scintillat­ing ideas for self-improvemen­t. The Christmas rush hasn’t knocked you off your feet just yet; there’s ample time to bag a new exercise plan or obliterate a press-play-repeat negative in your headspace.

Aquarius 20 Jan – 18 Feb

You can’t put a foot wrong if you stay put. Conversely, you’ll never know what’s out there if you’re stuck in a quagmire of indecision. Thankfully, your low boredom threshold catapults you out of the starting blocks, bringing renewed vigour and a sense of adventure. Nurture this bit of fizz mindfully, as people appreciate your gung-ho approach.

Gemini 21 May – 20 Jun

Don’t discount small talk as a canny way to uncover what makes people tick. Your natural social skills swell disproport­ionately, even if you’re the shy, retiring type. Good news, given that some fabulous networking opportunit­ies are brewing in the wings. Listen a lot, nod as needed, and let the world reveal her delicious secrets. It’s amazing what you’ll learn.

Libra 23 Sept – 22 Oct

Given your sign’s aptitude for acing the balancing act, this period should be a piece of cake. Taking stock of where you are at, and how far you’ve come, will bring peace of mind and a more bullish, confident outlook in the short-term. Taking care of admin is also key, as you may be staring off into space a little more than usual. ✤
