Your week ahead in the stars
Aries
You may long to escape into your inner world of dreams this week, but attending to your everyday duties is vital, too. Using your intuition to find solutions to practical problems will give you the best of both worlds. It’s best to avoid confrontation with family members midweek.
A good week for... reflection
Leo
You have so much energy and enthusiasm for pushing your ideas through that it’s easy to forget people close to you may have different agendas. Humour and generosity point to a way to sorting out any difficulties at the weekend. Friends could provide much welcome support now.
A good week for... research
Sagittarius
If you’re feeling a bit wistful about what’s missing in your home, find ways of bringing what you long for into your life. Remember, the secret of feeling comfortable is to make somebody else feel comfortable, too. A standoff about money can be avoided if you’ll examine the issues calmly.
A good week for... family
Taurus
A friend who is struggling in some way may need your help now. Acting from the heart could bring you closer together. Try to work out what you really want if you’re longing for something better later in the week. You could discover you’ve already got what you think you lack.
A good week for... hopes
Virgo
You may realise early this week that you’ve been seeing someone close through rose-tinted glasses. While it’s disappointing to lose the fantasy, you’ll find the reality is so much better, especially if you make the effort to see things you have in common from the other person’s point of view.
A good week for... equality
Capricorn
You could realise it’s time to stop wishing things were different with a close relative and either let go of the fantasy things will improve by themselves – or do something to change the situation. Around midweek you may get an insight into an attitude you need to ditch.
A good week for...rapport
Gemini
You could discover that a career or community plan that’s been going well is not quite what it seemed. Look carefully, though. There’s a silver lining waiting to be found if you have patience and use your intuition. Things are working in your favour more than you realise right now.
A good week for... reality
Libra
It’s time to look at the work you’ve allowed to pile up on yourself. You can’t do it all, and it’s a week to make some hard choices about what only you can do and what can be delegated. The weekend is ideal for clearing out things at home you used to love but are now just junk.
A good week for... efficiency
Aquarius
Use your heightened intuition about money matters this week to act in everybody’s best interests. Don’t worry if there is a temporary blip in your financial affairs, learn from it so you can avoid similar situations in the future. Listen carefully to what loved ones suggest midweek.
A good week for... ideals
Cancer
If you’re planning a journey this week make sure to check all the details carefully. It would be easy to get carried away by your imagination now and ignore practical matters. Someone close could help you midweek to get over a habit of yours that’s been holding you back, so listen up!
A good week for... learning
Scorpio
Avoid arguments this week with those close to you. If you need to get your point across, count to 10 first. There are too many opportunities for misunderstandings so make sure you avoid them. Any intensity you feel midweek may be triggered by old issues.
A good week for... pleasure
Pisces
If an acquaintance seems controlling this week, don’t give in if you feel it’s not right. Stand by what you know is true. It should be easy to get on the same wavelength with those at home, giving a warm feeling of closeness, but double check agreements to avoid confusion.
A good week for... understanding
