The sky This week

Gemini

You could be feeling more optimistic than you have for some time about your ability to deal with all the work that has been heaped upon you lately. It’s a great week for tackling anything to do with pensions, insurance and inheritance and sticking with the job until things are sorted.

A good week for…friends

Libra

You’ll realise this week you don’t have to be a victim of circumstances and you have many choices. A family or relationship matter that’s been nagging at you should become clearer around midweek. Do what needs to be done, but don’t play cat and mouse games.

A good week for…negotiation

aquarius

On Thursday assertive Mars lines up with powerful Pluto at the start a new two-year cycle. When used wisely this combination can be formidable for tackling tough jobs successfully, but can result in power struggles without a proper outlet. So it’s best then to get your teeth into something positive. Most affected are those born January 9 to 15, April 7 to 13, July 10 to 16 and October 11 to 17. Events in the world could affect you greatly this week and move you to speak out strongly or take some humanitarian action, or both. Don’t be tempted to cut corners in your career and community efforts now. Hard work and discipline are still needed there in the coming months.

A good week for…messages

Cancer

Children in the family may bring joy and responsibilities now and it’s an ideal week for planning happy memories you would like to create with them. Some news at work midweek could clarify matters for everyone. Putting effort into shared goals with partners now will avoid power struggles.

A good week for…aspirations

Scorpio

You have strong opinions and you’re unlikely to want to keep quiet about them this week. In your determination to speak the truth you could come across too strongly and hurt someone’s feelings, possibly at work. There are things best left unsaid, while others should be thought through. A good week for…humility

PISCES

How you fit in to the groups you belong to and what you’d like your contribution to be is this week’s focus. Some information around midweek should help you identify what your real values are in the matter. News from abroad could bring back some happy memories.
