- BY MILTON BLACK • for The week ending MAY 5

In a matter of the heart, you are not likely to mince words. When you speak, you will address the essentials of a very emotional situation that concerns you. Socially, you will be entertaini­ng loved ones and your feeling of generosity will increase. A sudden or unexpected surprise could come your way and you may take up a new creative interest.

JAN 21 FEB 18 PISCES FEB 19 mar 20

An exciting invitation may be offered to you. You may be influenced by over- indulgence or over- spending in a way that is unlike you. This should be your opportunit­y week but don’t waste it. A contract, new beginning or a big adventure will challenge your sense of security and direction. Be confident and don’t hesitate to push yourself forward.

ARIES mar 21 apr 19

A positive word at the right time may have you one jump ahead of your opposition. There may be an unusual connection with someone from your past and this could open a new door of opportunit­y that has been closed for some time. Don’t allow financial affairs to get out of hand; others may try to rush you headfirst into investment matters. Your mind will be earthbound and you will display foresight in all you do. An excellent time for business progress, or to make changes to your daily routine. Don’t be afraid to push ahead with negotiatio­ns, or make that important decision concerning your future. A turn of events may occur regarding money and you could be the beneficiar­y.

DEC 22 JAN 20 TAURUS apr 20 may 20

Be careful with all financial transactio­ns; you are likely to spend without thinking. You seem confident that there is an abundance of money or other resources to back you up and that could be your downfall. Discipline will be vital if you wish to achieve a successful outcome in career matters. Social activities bring luck. Don’t sit back and take things for granted. Pursue your goals, get out and meet people, extend yourself, make an independen­t decision with confidence, and show your executive ability and individual­ity. This is an appropriat­e cycle to handle practical matters. Sport may take your fancy.

NOV 23 DEC 21 GEMINI may 21 JUN 21

A change of pace may have you working late in order to complete an arduous task. If you want greater financial security, you will have to work for it. Expect a cycle of new beginnings. Don’t bite off more than you can chew; your stubborn ego may get in the way of common sense. You may start a new associatio­n with a strategist in financial and business matters. A joint affair will bring freedom and excitement, so mix a little money with friendship. Good luck may strike when you least expect it. Be careful; you may miss something you’ve planned or taken for granted.

OCT 24 NOV 22 CANCER JUN 22 JUL 22

Pleasant vibes are indicated in your domestic life and you will be appreciate­d for your ability to get things done. Children feature strongly in your week, with their developmen­t through education or sport. Luck and money may come through for you unexpected­ly. Expect major changes in business and domestic life. You may have a wilful tendency to break from traditiona­l patterns, but you either can’t make up your mind or won’t make a change for reasons unknown. Strengthen­ing your personal relationsh­ips will be important to you. Exciting family reunions will ease your insecurity.

SEP 23 OCT 23 VIRGO AUG 23 SEP 22

An outing or special event may prove costly, so keep all finances on budget. Your aggressive nature will certainly swing into action when an opportunit­y arises or because of the thrill of competitio­n. Try out a new method of performing tasks, but avoid becoming brash. A wonderful social invitation could have you over the moon.

LEO JUL 23 AUG 22

A number of developmen­ts could crop up and your future success could be guaranteed, if you exercise discretion. Deem everything that happens as a chance for personal growth. An important business discussion will leave you jubilant and a financial investment can be finalised to your advantage. Family brings happiness.

ENDGAME ( A lot of you complain that I don’t give you tough ones. Well, take this, but don’t complain when you can’t get it.) An insect is crawling along a rubber band that is attached to a wall at one end and a car moving away from the wall at the other. The car is moving at 1m/ s while the insect is only moving at 1cm/ s. Assuming the rubber band is uniformly and infinitely elastic, will the insect ever reach the car?
