YOUR STARS

This is the perfect time for networking, updating your appearance or, if attached, taking things to the next level. Singles, too, should strike while the iron is hot. And while you have a more give-andtake attitude towards relationships, this next year finds you still feeling feisty, yet wanting to settle. Money, however, may cause concern. Tired of having little or nothing to show for your work, you take a harder stance with finances and start saving.

Aries (March 21 to April 20)

The Aries focus is fixed on finances right now, giving you an opportunity to increase income. Start saving now and you’ll soon have plenty to spare for that proverbial rainy day. Jobs connected with finances or the media do particularly well. Ditto for those linked with healthcare.

Taurus (April 21 to May 20)

The truest test of character often arises in emergencies. But is there really a crisis happening now, or is someone being overly dramatic? Step back from the hysteria surrounding you and calmly reassess the situation. It’s a fairly safe bet that the future’s not totally doomed.

Gemini (May 21 to June 21)

Until family problems are sorted, Gemini, nothing will make much sense. This week’s planets remind you that charity begins at home. Your desire to make a mark on the world is admirable, but first you must give your full attention to any troubling situation at home.

Cancer (June 22 to July 22)

Ridding yourself of restrictions is this week’s theme, especially when it comes to romance or pursuing a new job. The cosmos allows you to release emotional baggage or outworn values that block you from fearless action. Do this and the possibilities of new love or promotion soar. Finally, all that tenacity is paying off.

Leo (July 23 to August 23)

The cosmos advises against compromise this week – for good reason. Being pushed into unsatisfactory situations or having to take the blame at work because of someone else’s mistakes is not acceptable. The cosmos helps those who help themselves, so stand your ground and and make your thoughts heard.

Virgo (August 24 to September 22)

You’re not exempt from this week’s cosmic madness. If you can make sense of the next few days, great – but should the going get too tough, escape. It may be the only way to get through the week sane. Allow yourself the occasional moment of serenity. Preferably, alone.

Libra (September 23 to October 23)

Ever been struck by love at first sight? First thoughts usually go to possible happily-ever-afters, but sometimes a strong friendship is all that’s meant to be. Whatever the case, someone new holds the promise of staying very special. Better still, you’re ready to offload a fair few of those inhibitions.

Scorpio (October 24 to November 22)

This week, keep your ears to the ground and your mouth shut. There’s some gossip around and it could be about you, so don’t be in a hurry to disclose your thoughts or secrets – let others reveal their intentions first. Keep yourself at a safe distance from troublemakers and don’t expect others to live up to their promises.

Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21)

If you’ve taken a professional leap of faith lately, your courage should soon show rewarding results. The same can be said for affairs of the heart. Right now you’re a marketable item, Sagittarius, so go sell yourself to your target audience. Late nights are likely.

Capricorn (December 22 to January 20)

This week is more inclined to give you a spiritual nudge rather than financial flow. Take the compassionate route rather than the materialistic, and you could stumble across moments of genuine peace and happiness. Such tranquillity isn’t as elusive as you think.

Aquarius (January 21 to February 18)

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. Finally, here’s a week when there’s little to lose and much to gain.

Pisces (February 19 to March 20)

Break down any emotional barriers that have grown between yourself and loved ones. Don’t be too proud to ask for help. If asked, friends will go out of their way to offer support. Over the years, others have truly appreciated your generosity. So give them a chance to repay all your own good deeds and favours. You’re much loved.
