Stars Your week in the

aries

Some quiet time away from the hustle and bustle of the outside world would do you a power of good now. It could become clear by Saturday that you don’t actually want something you thought you did. Letting go of that desire will clear the way for something better to come along. A good week for...imagination

Leo

It’s time to take more seriously your need for time away from the demands of work, and to pay attention to your creative urges. Far from being a waste of time, this will refresh you more than you imagine. Attention to shared finances now will pay off later.

A good week for...renovations

Sagittarius

Being too hasty won’t always work in your favour, as over-confidence could catch you unawares. Read the small print in any agreement you enter into this week to make sure you know what the implications are. You’re in the mood to let your hair down at the weekend.

A good week for...home

taurus

Your persuasive power is working well, but don’t get too competitive with friends’ opinions or you could win a battle but lose the war. If you pay attention to your intuition, you’ll understand what’s going on under the surface in a situation where all is not as it seems.

A good week for...socialising

Virgo

Avoid dwelling on annoyances from the past now. It’s time to deal with what needs to be dealt with, put it behind you and move on to take advantage of opportunities opening up in a home and family situation. Those closest to you may need to know how much you appreciate them now.

A good week for...partners

Capricorn

Any recent friction with those close to you should clear up over the next few days if you’ll explain as well as listen. An innocent remark on Friday could stir up an old hurt. By seeing that everyone was doing the best they could at the time you should be able to forgive and forget.

A good week for...communication

Gemini

You’re unlikely to get your own way at home or work this week in trying to push through an important project with willpower alone, especially on Tuesday. It’s best to check other people’s agendas then decide what’s in everybody’s interests before acting.

A good week for...aspirations

Libra

With attention to detail and willingness to leap in at the right moment, you could gain a competitive edge this week. Keep your eyes peeled for opportunities to show what you’re capable of. The clearer you are now about your purpose, the easier you’ll be able to achieve it.

A good week for...analysis

aquarius

You could feel weighed down with pressures. But if you deal with the demands promptly and without complaint you’ll get what needs done more quickly, and impress someone who matters to you. Acting on an impulsive, fun idea at the weekend could give you a lift.

A good week for...peace
