Your Stars

- By Lynda Shaw

ARIES

Mar 21 - April 19

Relationsh­ips are starting to heal, and there’s a new version of normality in your life. Just as well, since your attention is taken up with interestin­g new offers at work. Now’s your chance to make some real money. Even so, before the hard slog takes over your life, how about a short break — preferably with someone you love. There couldn’t be a better time to let yourself be vulnerable.

TAURUS

Apr 20 - May 20

Convinced you’re losing your grip? Not so. It’s just that the energies have slowed down, giving you a chance to catch up. First priority is to rediscover your social life. Just because you’ve forgotten how it’s done, doesn’t mean you don’t deserve another crack at it. Second mission is to finish off any leftovers – the ones you’ve been meaning to deal with. That moment is now.

GEMINI

May 21 - June 20

If the love energy is right, it will flourish. If not, it will collapse sooner or later. Simple. It’s time for you to release the reins and let the horses go where they will. Yes, it feels terrible to be alone, but has it occurred to you that a relationsh­ip with yourself can be as memorable as the other kind? Get to know yourself. You might like you. Start with a new hobby — and let it change you.

CANCER

June 21 - Jul 22

Sometimes planning it is better than actually doing it ... until you make up your mind. So go ahead, fantasise. The career is open to offers and there are plenty of those. The love life is spinning — doing its own thing — and apparently nothing to do with you. For some reason you’ve adopted the position of onlooker – watching and (hopefully) learning, but certainly not committing.

LEO

Jul 23 - Aug 22

Opportunit­y can often look like hard work. But if you focus on the goal instead of the journey, you might find you enjoy both. Bottom line: exciting opportunit­ies are on their way. Take them; don’t take them. But don’t be put off by the prospect of extra effort. The love life is taking strain, so a distractio­n might give you a new perspectiv­e.

VIRGO

Aug 23 - Sep 22

Stop worrying about saving the dolphins and start concentrat­ing on saving yourself. Your personal life is suffering from neglect. Unless you give it some attention, you could lose something valuable. Not to worry though. You have energy and enthusiasm to spare. You’ll be fine as long as you stick to one thing at a time. Besides, your instincts are at their most impressive. Trust yourself to know what’s best.

LIBRA

Sep 23 - Oct 22

Your love potential is soaring as the planet of romance, beauty and sensuality makes herself comfortabl­e in your heart. Make the most of your appeal. Resist the urge to remind everyone else how best to improve themselves. Reserve your energies for basking in the sunlight of others’ approval. And, when you’re feeling generous, remember to give a little back. Open some doors.

SCORPIO

Oct 23 - Nov 21

Your confidence is at its peak, attracting wonderful relationsh­ips and offers. Still, this does not come with a licence for cockiness. The trick lies in learning from each experience. People will ask for advice and help. Consider their requests carefully; be sure not to use their vulnerabil­ity to your advantage. What you give out is what you get back.

SAGITTARIU­S Nov 22 - Dec 21

Someone up there wants to look after you and is sending some interestin­g new friends. Look out for mentors or helpful new loves — particular­ly foreigners. And, meanwhile, do your best to take better care of yourself. Your body is vulnerable, and is asking for some sleep. Not to mention leafy green vegetables. Money can wait. There’s enough to keep you comfortabl­e — and you have other fish to fry.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20

If you’re struggling to get out of bed, stay there. Don’t beat yourself up. Next week your energy will return. Focus on your love life. It could be going really well — if you let it. And if you allow yourself, you might even turn into a real romantic. Buy yourself some flowers. Remind yourself how loveable you are. Write a list of desires, and make space for them to arrive. Miracles are possible.

AQUARIUS

Jan 20 - Feb 18

Although you’re hardly aware of how hard you’re working, your efforts are starting to pay off. You have achieved what many only dream about — you’ve made working such fun it doesn’t feel like work. More than that, your talents are in demand as the people around you learn to overlook your eccentrici­ties and appreciate your gifts. You might even open up your heart to let one in.

PISCES

Feb 19 - Mar 20

Are you wondering why everyone seems to be focusing on ancient history instead of moving on? Look again. Some useful (forgotten) informatio­n could come to light under all that rubble. All of which could lead to a new direction for you. Or, at the very least, a different deal. Meanwhile, try patience. You’ll be in a much better negotiatin­g position if you’re calm and willing to adapt.
