YOUR STARS
Your Year Ahead: Taurus
Though you’d prefer to settle into cruise mode, this year asks that you take a good, long look at ongoing issues. Apparently, some would benefit from closer attention. Still, we must assume that better moments lie ahead. Luckily for you, the planets do too. May offers extra cash, while the rest of the cosmos brings love or new friendships. Indeed, being in the right place and making the right contacts are important ingredients to your future success. Your greatest achievement? A growing selfconfidence.
Aries (March 21 to April 20)
If you’ve been hoping to reap financial rewards, then you’d better start planting the seeds. Right now, your imagination’s firing, and so is your energy. Just make sure the left hand knows what the right is doing, whether it be yours or someone else’s. Though some cosmic forces might try to slow professional progress, Aries determination wins through.
Taurus (April 21 to May 20)
If there’s to be any conflict, look to relationships – mostly because the planets are meddling where they shouldn’t. Even so, take this chance to express unresolved anger, but in a constructive way. As peace returns towards late week, you again head in a positive direction. But if still feeling unsure, sympathetic friends lend a comforting shoulder.
Gemini (May 21 to June 21)
Mercury, the planet of communication, is once again moving forward – so use this week to resolve any recent or long-standing misunderstandings, confusions or delayed career or business plans. The message with Mercury turning direct is “full speed ahead”. So pay attention: someone or something important is about to enter your life.
Cancer (June 22 to July 22)
Even though those rose-tinted glasses are practically sutured on, let reality have a look-in as well. You’re not misguided in your outlook, Cancer – just a tad too idealistic. But no one’s asking you to curb all that lovely optimism – only your expenditure. Mars puts its heavy hand on your shoulder to curb the spending.
Leo (July 23 to August 23)
You may be tempted to shift the blame on to others and why not, when everyone else is doing the same? It’s a week when there’s little room to manoeuvre. No one in particular is at fault. It’s more a case of each for themselves. And you have every right to follow suit. The upside: business and pleasure entwine.
Virgo (August 24 to September 22)
Fulfilment and happiness are near at hand, promising the successful outcome of a venture or relationship. This culmination of events may also indicate material wealth or greater spiritual awareness. Some Virgos start to make plans to buy that dream home or a wonderful new friendship or partnership is on offer.
Libra (September 23 to October 23)
You’d better find yourself an extra pair of hands, quick smart. You’re probably needed in more than one place right now. Just take care that others don’t become a burden, either emotionally or financially. At work, you’re steered towards a major professional or romantic turning point. Finally, you’re on the right track.
Scorpio (October 24 to November 22)
Rampant consumerism could also come to a costly crunch, particularly if you’re financing someone else’s expenses. Midweek reveals your inner psyche. Despite having already made sacrifices, more changes need to be made. Still, if there is a lesson here, it’s to learn to forgive and forget. At the same time, pay extra attention to your health.
Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21)
While all is not lost, something might be. Your mind is drawn in many directions and as you become less focused, it can be difficult to keep an eye on everything – especially finances. It’s been said that many hands make light work, but some of them can be attached to overbearing individuals. If someone’s complicating a situation, go solo.
Capricorn (December 22 to January 20)
The word failure isn’t in the Capricorn vocabulary. This week, though, life could become a tad more difficult. If things don’t go to plan, relax. Try to calm that worried mind of yours. Sure, there’ll be some changes – but endings often bring fabulous new beginnings. Use this week to push your ideas and projects ahead a notch. Get one step ahead of the rest.
Aquarius (January 21 to February 18)
The cosmos offers you hearty encouragement to catch up with old friends and finally enjoy some time out. Those more carnally inclined should leave your particulars with Venus. This love goddess is ready to point a delightful new someone your way. If considering the thrill of illicit intimacy, carefully weigh up the odds of discovery. Discretion is the key.
Pisces (February 19 to March 20)
Once you believe in yourself, the sky’s the limit. Admittedly, arriving at this point isn’t always easy. Sure, you may have to compromise in order to maintain harmony. But on no account should you fully give in to others’ expectations if they’re contrary to your principles. Rest assured that the planets, as always, will be around to lend moral support.
