YOUR STARS

Your Year Ahead – Taurus No-one has a completely drama-free existence – we all make mistakes. Consider, though, that these so-called errors of judgement are simply learning tools towards wisdom and compassion. Forgive others, and yourself – leave the old baggage behind and keep moving forward. This year there’s so much more to experience and love. With finances also on your side, the occasional luxury is a must. Aries (March 21 - April 20) Should your usual routine be disrupted, just try to go with the flow. You won’t be given more than you can handle. Around the weekend, pent-up feelings erupt. What happens next depends on your reaction – so think twice before saying something you regret. Taurus (April 21 - May 20) Every now and then, you question whether or not you’re truly content. Sometimes this concerns relationships, but the focus this week falls more on work. Remember, you can find resolution to most problems. Either sort it or change direction. The choice is yours. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Professionally, you’re on the right track. But if considering a romantic escapade, disappointment may follow. Seemingly, your best ventures this week are solo efforts – so if it comes to the question of a romantic tango, you might have to sit this one out. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) It’s a week of change, but you must be getting used to that by now. Joint money matters might lead to arguments. Emotionally, expect a time of feisty passions. Just try not to make too many demands on friends and loved ones – they have a breaking point too. Leo (July 23 - August 23) It’s quite likely that you mean what you say, but what others hear is a different matter. This is a time where your best intentions are misconstrued, which means even more detail may be required. Unfortunately, the more you say – the deeper the pit you dig. Virgo (August 24 - September 22) Put the brakes on any major decisions this week, Virgo. With your usual sense of logic taking a leave of absence, you’re pretty much left under the command of your emotions. Perhaps you’re hiding something? Be honest, and let others know your true feelings. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Should early week finalise a chapter in your life, follow up with positive action. Outdated love or friendships may end – giving you the freedom to rediscover a new dating scene. Don’t worry if you’re out of practice. Great things happen when you least expect them. Scorpio (October 24 - November 22) Just when you were about to let go of some long-held dreams, along comes a guardian angel to remind you why you had such high hopes in the first place. So what to do? Give up or go on? Trust the voice within. There’s your answer. Sagittarius (November 23 - December 21) Even in the toughest work schedule we can come to a halt – because it feels like something’s missing. Very often it will be the things we take for granted, such as friends or family. This week’s planetary line-up prompts you to retrieve some of these lost treasures. Capricorn (December 22 - January 20) It’s a week when many Capricorns are freed from constraints that should have found a natural conclusion some time ago. Don’t blame yourself. You didn’t fail. It just didn’t work out. You know what they say – as old doors close, new ones open. Aquarius (January 21 - February 18) Aquarians are usually clever rather than audacious when it comes to money. But this week finds you more aggressive, with an impulsive shop-till-you-drop attitude. Stay clear of money-making schemes that seem too good to be true – they probably are. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) This week aims to test your tolerance – so stay calm if you hope to emerge with friendships intact. No one’s saying you’re at fault, but you could be a co-contributor. Forget recrimination. Try mediation instead, and you’ll win the respect and support of like-minded souls.
