Find out what changes and challenges are heading your way as our top astrologer reveals your week in the stars

Your future in the stars:

ARIES

Neptune and the full moon are highlighting your need for some quiet reflection among all the busyness of the daily routine. Those close to you should have plenty to say this week and some of it could inspire you to make positive changes that may be long overdue.

TAURUS

It should become clear which friends have your best interests at heart. You’re not known for your flexibility once your mind is made up but you could meet your match in a relationship matter on Thursday when it comes to stubbornness. Give-and-take is the best way.

GEMINI

The full moon on Tuesday falling in your career, status and ambitions area, could show you and the world just how committed you are to the direction you have been taking, and how successful it has been. If you need to shift your course this is the week to do it.

CANCER

You sometimes edge into things when you are afraid of rejection. But it may be better to be up front this week about what you want or someone could end up getting irritated. The sun moving into your domestic area midweek should help bring clarity about how to proceed.

LEO

A shared financial or emotional obligation may surface, helping you see things better. Your words can inspire or crush, so avoid judgments and think carefully before you speak this week. A significant other could have some good tips for solving a communication problem.

VIRGO

There should be several instances that let you see how much you’re appreciated in your closest relationships, and you may find yourself pleasantly surprised. It’s an excellent week for restructuring your daily work and identifying and passing on possessions you no longer value.

LIBRA

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by tasks, don’t worry. It’s only your intuition telling to stop trying to do everything yourself and to see the situation from a bigger perspective. There are plenty of opportunities around now for rest and recuperation provided you’ll just notice them.

SCORPIO

Wednesday and Saturday are good days for making your point and getting your ideas across, provided you sidestep the temptation to be too nippy. The sun moves into your reflective zone midweek inviting you to, recharge your batteries and make plans for the coming year.

SAGITTARIUS

By midweek you could sense how much better your private and public lives could be if only certain things were different. Instead of ignoring these feelings, think about how you could make the improvements. There’s plenty of banter and debate provided by friends.

CAPRICORN

Negotiations about career or community matters should go well as you know what you want and how to put your case forward to significant others. If you can respect other people’s agendas, yet not get caught up in them, you should be in a strong bargaining position.

AQUARIUS

Notice any strong feelings you have midweek about your money, values, talents or resources. They could highlight something about these matters that you’ve been unaware of or avoiding. Thursday is a day for ruffling feathers while Saturday favours practical negotiations.

PISCES

The full moon in your sign puts you in touch with your deepest longings for connection with others and with nature. Dealing with a relationship situation that you’ve been hesitating about could leave everyone happier and clearer about where they stand, provided you don’t hold grudges or blame others.

“They had a lot to learn,” she said. “But so did I.”

She recalled the first time, after the wedding, she had been angry with him. “I went full-on crazy wee Scottish wummin at him. Like my mum and my friends would have. But he was shocked, and sincerely asked, ‘Is this how we will be speaking to each other now?’ When I thought about how I must have sounded to him, I was shocked too.

“And I decided, no, we won’t be speaking to each other like that again.”

Imagine...how would our behaviours seem to someone who didn’t know they were expected habits? Just because we have been raised that way, just because it’s all we’ve heard, doesn’t mean we have to behave that way. Especially if there’s a better way available.
