Monday 29 June 2009


Aries
(Mar21/Apr20) A close relationship isn’t all you thought it would be. Although your partner is attentive to your needs, you still have a wandering eye. The best way to resolve this conflict is to inject more passion into your relationship. If you are single, it may be because you’re reluctant to settle down. Perhaps it’s time to examine your attitude towards domesticity. What makes you so scared of commitment? Are your wild ways interfering with your emotional growth.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) Until you establish a steady routine, you’ll always feel restless. Getting up at the same time each morning will make a tremendous difference. Be sure to follow with a good breakfast. If you eat well in the morning, you won’t be tempted to binge on unhealthy snacks throughout the afternoon. There may not be space in a class you’ve wanted to take. Don’t let this discourage you from developing this interest. Check out some introductory books on the subject .

Gemini (May22/Jun21) You’ve always been young at heart, but lately you’ve been feeling your age. Maybe you’ve been forced to spend long hours at the office. It’s possible you’ve had to assume more than your fair share of household responsibilities. Whatever the situation, you can’t let it get you down. Make more time for the activities and people you love, even if you have to delegate tasks to colleagues or relatives. Some may accuse you of being selfish, but you’ve been overly generous.

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) You won’t have much pull with your relatives. They seem intent on doing things their own way. This may mean you have to break away from the pack. Pursuing a different line of work will be scary but rewarding. Some of your relatives will accuse you of being snobbish, but that’s just because they’re jealous. A quarrelsome youngster needs guidelines. Be prepared to enforce the rules, even if you sympathise with their frustration. Even children must learn to check their impulses.

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) A short trip for pleasure may be cancelled, leaving you at a loose end. There are worse things than having to spend time by yourself. By pausing to listen to your own thoughts, you could realise a burning passion you never knew existed. Taking up painting, writing, or design will give you a new lease on life. You’ve been blessed with considerable artistic talent. Developing this gift will give your life welcome balance. Get ready to scale back your social life.

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) It’s hard for you to feel secure unless you have a good income. Unfortunately, the economy could make it difficult to save money. Remember, your personal worth bears no relation to your bank account. You are precious for your wit, intelligence, and kindness. Friends find you indispensable. By spending more time with your nearest and dearest, you’ll feel less vulnerable. Resist the urge to drown your sorrows with a shopping spree. Going into debt would be disastrous.

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) You have a tendency to zone out when things get tense. At times, your loved ones will feel abandoned or ignored. Maybe the better way of handing this situation is to confess your fears. If you’re tired of hearing two people bicker, voice your displeasure. Set down some ground rules for airing disputes. You’re tired of living in a war zone. If nobody is willing to reform, you may want to move to a place of your own.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Isolating yourself from the crowd won’t solve your problems. If you feel depressed, tell a friend. Talking about your feelings will be a welcome release. Keeping them bottled up will drive you deeper into a dark place that you hate to be. Recently, you feel like circumstances beyond your control have kept you chained to one place. You can change your Fate by applying for a grant, loan, or scholarship. Getting a change of scenery will do you a world of good.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) No matter how hard you try, you stick out like a sore thumb. There’s just something so distinctive about you, it’s pointless to hide. Unfortunately, it’s hard to make inroads with someone special as a result. The object of your affection is too self conscious to take a chance on a quirky character like you. When it comes right down to it, you’re better off single. You don’t want to feel as though you’re a liability to your relationship. Don’t worry; true love is just around the corner.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Sacrificing your private life for the sake of success is a losing proposition. You need more balance. Spending time with your nearest and dearest is not wasteful. On the contrary, you need to mix with people outside of the office. They’re the only ones who will be willing to tell you the truth. When you base your whole identity around your career, you get a distorted view of your strengths and weaknesses. Rely on friends and family to set you straight.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) People may not be very receptive to your beliefs. This really hurts your feelings, as you’ve always been open minded. When others don’t extend the same courtesy, you feel robbed. Maybe the problem is you’re trying to make friends with your colleagues. It’s better to keep your personal and professional lives separate. In time, you may move to a workplace which is more in keeping with your outlook. Until then, be friendly but reserved. The less your workmates know about you, the better.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) An act of generosity could be turned away and this is really hurtful. Maybe the person you are trying to help feels embarrassed by your gesture. Perhaps he feels there are strings attached to your offer. Whatever his reasons, you need to respect them. Turn your attention to someone who appreciates your company. If you’re quarrelling with a lover, spend the day apart. Devote your energies to a photography project. You have a knack for capturing beautiful images on film.

Tuesday 30 June 2009


Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Go out and celebrate with friends. It’s been a while since you enjoyed the company of your nearest and dearest. If one of your mates wants to set you up on a blind date, accept. They have a good sense of what you need from a romantic partner. If you’re already in a relationship, your amour may have a chance to realise a cherished dream. You may have to make some personal sacrifices, but this will only make your love stronger.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) People can depend on you to do a good job. Don’t be surprised if colleagues seek you out for help. If you’ve ever wanted to go freelance, this would be a good time to try. You could find several good clients. Don’t hesitate to revise a creative project. You’re more discerning today, and may notice small flaws that escaped your attention the first time around. A medical consultation could provide relief for a nagging ache or pain.

Gemini (May22/Jun21) Developing a gift for writing, music, or design will open new doors for you. You may decide to find somewhere to brush up a creative talent. An encouraging teacher will bring out the best in you. If you have a chance to take an overseas trip, take it. You could find romance along the way. Someone with a sexy accent will find you irresistible. It’s nice to know you still have the power to draw people into your web of intrigue.

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) You could unearth some beautiful but inexpensive items at an antique shop. Being surrounded by old things is wonderfully soothing for you. They make you feel connected to the past. If a relative gives you a family heirloom, take care to display it in a prominent place or use it on a regular basis. Saving this treasure for special occasions will be a waste. By integrating beauty into your life on a daily basis, your self esteem will soar.

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) A little intellectual stimulation is just what the doctor ordered. Why not sign up for a class? History, archaeology, or genealogy are among the subjects that might appeal to you. You could meet someone who will be pivotal to your life through this course. They will encourage you to expand your horizons in some meaningful way. Be prepared to take an exotic holiday or start a business together. The two of you are a match made in heaven.

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) You have a good feel for investments. Buying stock in a company which sells organic food, baby supplies, or water filtration systems could be very profitable. This is also a good time to ask for a raise or find a better paid job. Opportunities related to broadcasting, air travel, and medical research could yield fruit. If you’re happy with your current place of work maybe you should check out taking up a new sport, anything from deep sea diving to ballroom dancing will be good for you.

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) An easy going personality makes you a popular figure. Don’t be surprised if you catch the eye of an aloof genius. Your special charm could be just the thing to melt their reserve. A youngster with a musical talent needs to be encouraged. Don’t fill this child’s head with stories about starving artists. At this stage they shouldn’t be worrying about making a living. Adulthood will come soon enough. For now, he or she should be focused on having fun.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Trust your instincts when it comes to a creative project. You don’t have to have experience with a particular medium to create a great work of art. Give yourself permission to experiment. A supportive relative may give you money or supplies to further pursue this hobby. This could be the start of a lucrative business. More importantly, though, you’ll be exercising your imagination. A witty person could throw some flirtatious glances your way.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Your powers of persuasion are at an all time high. This is a great time to propose a daring idea or convince the group to try something new. People will choose to obey their heads over their hearts today, so you can go ahead and appeal to their logic. Teaming up with a skilled partner will help you to achieve twice as much work in half the normal time. Spend your free time catching up on your reading. A friend’s book recommendation is worth following.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) A desire for achievement could cause you to venture into the spotlight. Although you hate showing off, it’s the only way to advertise your skills. Fortunately, a powerful person will appreciate your gifts and may even offer you a job. Don’t be afraid to negotiate for more money than you are initially offered. This work will be varied and interesting, but it will also keep you busy. You won’t have a moment’s rest. That’s why it’s so important to ask for a good salary.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) The chance to share your expertise with others will be gratifying. Your students are eager and receptive to your brand of teaching. A couple of them may even develop crushes on you. It’s important to keep your personal and professional lives separate, no matter how tempting the prospect to do otherwise. Be sure to praise a youngster for the progress they’ve made at school. Even the smallest improvement is cause for celebration. This child yearns for your approval.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Extra money becomes available for household expenses. This is a good time to buy furniture, appliances, or artwork. If you don’t own your place, it may be time to consider buying one. Although you hate the idea of settling down, you need some stability in your life. Approach a lending institution to discover your options. You may be surprised to learn how affordable home ownership can be. You’ll never know unless you ask, though! Take a friend along for courage.

Wednesday 01 July 2009


Aries (Mar21/Apr20) A steady source of income could be drastically reduced. You need to branch out into other areas. The most promising involve advertising, sales, and journalism. You could even get paid for writing a blog. You’re always up on the newest things. Contact your local paper for any writing opportunities it may have. The money won’t be impressive at first, but if you stick with it, you’ll see handsome returns. The important thing is to have several irons in the fire about income.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) You may not be as free to travel as you once were. Normally, it wouldn’t bother you to stay rooted to one place. Right now you’re prone to restlessness. Armchair travel can be the solution. Reading books which are set in foreign countries can put a spring in your step. If you’ve been thinking about moving overseas sometime in the future, don’t tell your boss or you could be prematurely fired. These days, loyalty is key to job stability.

Gemini (May22/Jun21) Things are settling down on the home front, and that’s a good thing. At long last, you can make plans for your personal life. If you’ve been thinking of expanding your family, this would be a good time to do so. Don’t put too much stock into a child psychologist’s advice. Every family has its unique set of challenges. When it comes to domestic life, the most important thing is to provide a loyal, loving atmosphere where everyone is treated with dignity.

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Revising a creative project or practicing an art form will cause frustration at times, but the results will be worth it. Keep your nose to the grindstone. Money you thought would be available by now could be delayed. This means cutting back on luxury items. Spending time on solitary pleasures will help you to stretch existing resources further. Besides, you could probably benefit from scaling back your social life. The last few weeks have been a whirlwind.

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) It’s possible you could lose a job or client; don’t let this turn of events hurt a close relationship. Now is the time to join forces. Turning against each other will only make matters worse. Stop trying to impress people with expensive clothes, jewellery, and status symbols. Such expenditures are undercutting your future security. The more resourceful you are now, the easier it will be to ride out the tough times. If you’re single, a friendship could turn into a romance.

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) A close friend, romantic partner, or fellow worker suddenly becomes very clingy. You really resent this attitude, given the many times you’ve been pushed away when you wanted comfort. It’s time to have a serious chat with the person in question. You simply can’t tolerate this hot and cold attitude. If you’re going to have a future together, you need to be shown respect. A work assignment may be more than you can handle. Be ready to ask for help when you need it.

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Investments, savings accounts, and retirement funds are at an all time low. You need to find a way to make up for this loss. It may be difficult to find the sort of work you enjoy. It’s better to be practical than principled in today’s job market. Opportunities related to teaching, writing, and travel are favoured. You may have to work for some pretty low paying operations, but at least you’ll have income. Set your sights higher after you’ve gotten some experience under your belt.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) The gap between the way things ought to be and the way things are is huge. Stop sighing over your utopian dreams and face reality. It may be necessary to set an irresponsible relative straight. Issuing an ultimatum is the only way to get this character to reform. Be prepared to back up your threats with actions. If a family member continues to insult your romantic partner, you need to cut ties with this relative until you get an apology.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) You may no longer have the backing of a prestigious organisation or prominent authority figure. This means you’ll have to play by the rules. Don’t hold it against a newcomer for failing to grant favours that were previously yours. By being their friend you’ll be able to work back to your previous arrangement. In the meantime, show you’re willing to be treated like everybody else. It’s back to square one, but you’ll learn some valuable lessons along the way.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Unforeseen circumstances could force you to change course for a while. It may not be possible to pursue a cherished dream. It looks as though you need to pour all of your energy into generating more income. A youngster may need extra special care and attention and you’re willing to do whatever it takes to improve their prospects. Still, you can’t help but feel downhearted. A thoughtful colleague has valuable advice for coping with disappointment.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Your privacy could be invaded, which makes you really angry. Unfortunately, the situation can’t be helped. A construction project, reversal of fortune, or family incident requires you to change your routine. Try to be gracious towards a female relative who doesn’t realise what a nuisance she’s been. After all, she’s been kind and generous to you in the past. The least you can do is return the favour. A youngster’s cheeky remarks cause you to laugh in spite of yourself.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) You may be reining in your rebellious instincts. You’re tired of being singled out all of the time. Swimming with the tide will take the pressure off. Of course, there will be times it will be difficult to repress your feelings. Jotting down your emotions in a journal will be a healthy outlet. Trust your instincts when you’re dealing with a relative. It’s all right to be honest with them, provided you temper comments with some gentle encouragement.


Thursday 02 July 2009


Aries
(Mar21/Apr20) Spending time on your own is preferable to hanging out with friends. Loved ones have a tendency to ask too much of you. You need to conserve your material and emotional resources. Treat yourself to a day of luxury. A gourmet meal, spa treatment, or bottle of cologne will give your spirits a lift. Sounds simple, but it’s often the small things in life that make life bearable. If you owe money to a woman, be sure to pay her back as soon as possible.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) Your boss may have too many expectations of you. It’s time to set the record straight. Although you’re a very hard worker, you only have one pair of hands. There’s no shame in having your workload reduced, particularly under these circumstances. A fun loving friend invites you along on an adventure. Take this opportunity to try a new sport or hobby. Venturing into unfamiliar territory will give you a sexy glow that is absolutely irresistible. Be prepared to fight off advances from every turn.

Gemini (May22/Jun21) Your expertise won’t be appreciated today. In fact, trying to share it will turn the public against you. If you’re going on a job interview, adopt a humble attitude. Your would be employer is the type who wants to feel superior to all of their workers. This dynamic will be trying, but the perks of the job are worth it. There’s a good chance you won’t even have to deal with them after you are hired.

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) You’re in the mood for love, but your partner may not share your sentiments. If you want to be physically intimate, you need to take a soft, gentle approach. Kindness and consideration will melt your amour’s reserve. If you’re single, resist the temptation to jump into bed with someone for meaningless fun. This encounter will prove more problematic than you expect. Taking an exotic trip can provide you with the romance and adventure you crave.

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) A loved one could hurt your feelings unintentionally; resist the urge to sink into a snit. By keeping your spirits high, you’ll salvage what should be a pleasurable encounter. If you play your cards right, the two of you could spend an exciting evening in bed together. News of an inheritance, grant, or scholarship could reach your ears. This gives you a wonderful opportunity to lead a more luxurious lifestyle. Treat yourself to creature comforts you’ll use on a daily basis.

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) A job that was promised to you could fall through at the last minute. Try not to get discouraged. Bigger and better opportunities are ahead. In the meantime, you need to expand your skill set. Learning a foreign language could help you to work as a freelancer. This kind of work will afford much more independence. You’ll be able to take more holidays and spend lots of time with your family. Your love life will improve in surprising ways, too.

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) A child or lover could try to take advantage of your generosity. Trying to buy their affection will backfire badly. You’ll feel used and they’ll lose respect for you. Take this opportunity to improve your appearance in some way. If you’ve put on some weight, you need to buy clothes that fit properly. You’ll look much better. Don’t worry; you’ll have a chance to slim down. In the meantime, though, you need to feel comfortable.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Giving a relative the benefit of the doubt is a mistake. They haven’t made much progress since the last disaster. If an important job needs to be done, attend to it yourself. Entrusting this family member with money could be a mistake, too. It’s sad you can’t have more faith in their abilities, but they haven’t earned it. An electric encounter with a flirt makes your pulse pound. The two of you could make a powerful connection, if you’re so inclined.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) You’ve always been brutally honest, and need to stick to your guns today. This will be difficult when a vulnerable person asks for your opinion. However, sugar coating the truth will only lead to problems. Be as constructive as possible in your criticisms, but don’t give praise where it isn’t due. A sudden memory could be triggered when you catch sight of an old photo. Jot down this flashback while it is still fresh in your mind. It could be the seed of a great story.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) A luxury item could be more expensive than you thought. Resist the temptation to buy it now. There’s a good chance it will go on sale in the near future, bringing it within your price range. Besides, you’ll enjoy it more if you’ve been made to wait for it. Good news regarding a pregnancy will arrive soon. Be ready to celebrate. The mother to be will be aglow with anticipation. This is joyous turn of events. Go ahead and accept a last minute wedding invitation.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Beware of promising people too much. It’s better to be overly cautious in your estimates. A customer may be forced to take their business elsewhere, but that’s better than taking their order and failing to fulfil it. Fortunately, an unexpected moneymaking opportunity will fall into your lap. Doing emergency repair work will put a hefty sum of money into your pocket. Spend your earnings on something family oriented, like a holiday or entertainment centre. Choose something you all will enjoy.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Plunging into a fantasy world could be causing problems with a close female friend. This woman feels you’ve lost touch with reality, and maybe she’s right. Until you face some serious challenges, they’ll continue to spiral out of control. It may be necessary to embark on a whole new lifestyle. Moving to a different neighbourhood or changing your daily routine will bring about a remarkable improvement. Out with the old and in with the new! It’s that simple.

Friday 03 July 2009


Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Trust your instincts about a property; if you think you can get a better price on the rent or a lower interest rate on a mortgage, ask for it. Be ready to walk away if you don’t get the rate you want. You’ll probably get a phone call by the end of the day, agreeing to the deal you proposed. A manipulative relative may try to heap guilt upon your shoulders. Don’t take their threats seriously. Keep protecting your interests; nobody else will.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) An intense curiosity could prompt you to take a class or do some extensive reading. Learning about a certain time in history could be especially appealing. A part of you has always felt connected to the past. Perhaps you think modern life is too hectic for your placid personality. If you’re drawn to vintage clothing, furniture, or artwork, you could add some important items to your collection. Don’t be afraid to haggle with storeowners. They’ll be glad to lower their prices for a sale.

Gemini (May22/Jun21) You’re a lot more deliberative than usual and thinking about the long term future will be of tremendous financial benefit. Take this opportunity to start a savings account, college fund, or retirement portfolio. Even putting a small portion of your income to savings on a regular basis will make a huge difference. If you’re looking for work, explore industries related to food, art, or music. You can bring a cutting edge sensibility to an old fashioned company.

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) The shortest distance between two points is a straight line so whether you’re seeking a job, romance, or creative project, take the direct approach. It’s hard to be patient now, which prompts you to take some daring leaps. If you’ve been fighting with a neighbour or relative, you can make amends. You’ll have to be the one who extends the olive branch. Still, life will become much easier when you’re on good terms with each other. Nip this problem in the bud.

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) A vivid imagination could prompt you to withdraw from public life and work on a creative project. Painting, writing, and playing music hold great charms now. Don’t show the fruits of your labour to friends until you gain some confidence. Many promising artists are stopped in their tracks by well meaning critics. Focus on having fun during this infancy stage. There will be plenty of opportunity to submit your work for review later.

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) If faced with a difficult decision, go with your head, not your heart. It’s better to give a good job to a capable person you don’t like than to an absent minded friend. Although you’re very loyal, you’re also principled. If a position requires a certain level of education and skill, you will find the right candidate. Looking for work? It may help to join a professional organisation or club. The people you’ll meet will put you in line for a spot that is right up your alley.

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Your powers of concentration are at an all time high therefore, this is a great time to master a complicated skill. Don’t worry if your previous efforts were unsuccessful. Right now, you soak up information like a sponge. It also helps that your instructor will be a kind, patient person who knows how to break down difficult jobs into small, manageable tasks. An executive position could open up. Be sure to apply for it. You might be the perfect candidate for this job.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) There’s nothing wrong with being a lifelong student. The trick is to find a niche for your strongest talent while developing your other interests. Contrary to popular belief, money shouldn’t be the bottom line for every decision. Having hobbies makes you an interesting, well rounded person. It could even put you on the path to romance. Any friends you make as a result of your studies will be lifelong allies. You’re especially drawn to a nurturing classmate who has a crazy laugh.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) You’re right to be suspicious of a sob story. Be ready to pepper them with plenty of follow up questions. It will become immediately apparent their tale was fabricated. You should also be suspicious of fundraisers and charities. Don’t donate any money until you’ve done some research into the organisation in question. It’s not that you’re stingy; it’s just because you want your hard earned money to be used for a good purpose. Unfortunately, there are plenty of scam artists out there.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) It’s easy to understand the motivations of a close relative. Armed with this knowledge, you’re able to hammer out a compromise. You value security, while they crave excitement. Together, you can form a good partnership, provided you’re put in charge of the money. If you’re looking for love, join an online dating service. You could meet several promising candidates. A wedding that is on the horizon will turn out to be more fun than you expect. Be sure to attend.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Take care to review work with a fine toothed comb. Your eagle eyes could notice a big error that escaped everyone else’s attention. Bring this matter to your boss’s attention immediately or you could lose a valuable client. Even if your superior decides to go forward with things as they are, you will be singled out as a diligent worker. If you’re looking for a job, consider work related to childcare, catering, or hospitality. You could find a great opportunity in these areas.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Don’t be afraid to show off a little bit, especially if you’re trying to win someone’s heart. There are other rivals for this their affections. By showcasing your talent, you’ll pull ahead of the pack. If you have a child, spend some quality time together. The two of you could have lots of fun working on a creative project together. Getting your hands dirty will bring back fond memories of childhood. Maybe you should return to a hobby you abandoned long ago.

Saturday 04 July 2009


Aries (Mar21/Apr20) People will resist your efforts to take charge of a large project. You have to be ready to lay down the law. Naturally, it will be hard to make friends under these circumstances. That’s why you need to keep your personal and professional lives separate. Be pleasant to your colleagues, but maintain a tone of formality whenever you deal with them. You can always relax with your friends after hours. If you’re looking for work, you may have to accept a low level position.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) It’s not your responsibility to save the world. If it looks as though a neighbour or relative is going down the wrong path, voice your concern, but then move on. People will be more prone to listen to your advice if you treat them like intelligent adults. It’s possible you will get a bill with some incorrect charges on your account. Wait another few days before challenging the creditor. There could be an error with the billing system that will be straightened out by early next week.

Gemini (May22/Jun21) If you or someone you know is struggling with an addiction, it’s time to get treatment. Trying to conquer this problem on your own could plunge you deeper into depression. It’s amazing how much easier life becomes when you bring secrets into the light of day. You may be surprised by how many people are aware of this situation, but were too tactful to mention it. It just goes to show how far the gap has widened between perception and reality.

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) You’re tired of being denigrated by a person you deal with every day. It’s time to stand up to them, even at the risk of leaving a job or relationship. Your abuser will claim to be joking. Make it clear that you don’t appreciate their sense of humour, nor will you tolerate any more nasty remarks. If this keeps up, you’ll start internalising these insults. Forming healthier boundaries within this relationship will give you a new lease on life.

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Self confidence continues to be a problem. On the outside, you are calm, cool and collected. On the inside, you’re a quivering bowl of jelly. At times like these, you need to surround yourself with supportive people. Confess your fears to a non-judgemental friend. You may be astonished to learn they have the same problem. Together, you can craft a strategy for overcoming your fears. This will be especially helpful during the week ahead, when you’ll need to face off with colleagues.

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) It feels as though all of the joy has gone out of life; maybe it’s because of your surroundings. Trying to fit in with the popular crowd is making you miserable. You were born with unique talents. Making the most of them will set you apart, but it’s probably a good thing. If some friends are threatened by your new direction, so be it. You can’t hold yourself back to make them feel comfortable. A youngster may be threatened by a romantic relationship. Put their fears at ease.

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) It’s hard not to feel vindictive towards a person who wields power over you. Resist the urge to get revenge in an underhanded manner. Chances are your efforts will be discovered, and you’ll be punished. Getting into trouble could harm your career, reputation, or both. If it’s any consolation, your abuser will be punished. What goes around, comes around. The timetable may not be to your liking, but there is a greater plan at work here. In the meantime, let off steam with a fun loving relative.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) You could uncover some disturbing news. It’s not quite time to go public with this information. Consider how many innocent people will be harmed by this revelation. Wait until things are more financially secure before dropping this bombshell. Although it really bothers you to see scam artists take advantage of good hearted people, at least you’ll be able to undermine their work. Gather as much evidence against these crooks as you can before blowing the whistle. Bills, receipts, and invoices will be helpful.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Someone who has a lot of money has tremendous power over you. Perhaps this is an employer. Maybe it’s a family member who loaned you money. It could even be a spouse or business partner. Whatever the situation, you need to have an independent source of income. Putting money into a savings account will help you to break free of this restrictive tie. Yes, it could take some time before you’re able to make a move, but the temporary sacrifice will be worth it.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) You’re unable to give a close friend the benefit of the doubt. Too many times, they have let you down. Although you’re embarrassed to admit it, you’ve lost respect for your loved one. Maybe it would help to talk to a counsellor about your feelings. Until you’re able to express your anger to an objective third party, it will continue to tear you apart. Breaking a cycle of co-dependence is never easy, but it is critical if you’re going to make a fresh start.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) It feels like the whole world is out to get you. Although this isn’t true, you do need to strengthen your relationships with neighbours and relatives. Keeping these people at arm’s length is a mistake. These days, we all need a strong social network to combat the pressures of modern life. Be receptive to people’s offers of help. In the past, you were determined to go your own way. Now you’re starting to see how this attitude is hampering your view of the world.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Stop trying to control the people around you. If your friends reject certain plans, don’t take it personally. See what alternatives they suggest. If they don’t appeal to you, find your own form of fun. A close friend may be dating someone whom you don’t like. Bite your tongue. Voicing your disapproval could mean the end of a strong friendship. It’s entirely possible these two will find love together. Sometimes, there is just no accounting for taste.

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) You’re not really ready to make a serious commitment, especially where romance is concerned. When it comes to dating, you’d rather play the field, but will your boyfriends or girlfriends take kindly to that? It’s best to set them straight about your plans. Be prepared to cut things off if you think your amour is getting too serious. If you have a lover, try taking a mini-break together. The two of you could use a change of scenery.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) An extra sum of money could make its way into your pocket, helping you to afford more luxuries. Visit a spa, splurge on some new bedding, or give yourself a gift of jewellery. People might call your expenditures irresponsible, but they don’t understand your need for beauty. Fine things are like food and drink to you. If you’re looking for work, explore opportunities related to travel, journalism, or teaching. You could make a lot of money imparting information to others.

Gemini (May22/Jun21) You’ve always been impulsive when it comes to love, and today is no exception. If you happen to lock eyes with someone from across a crowded room, you can be sure you’ll exchange numbers by the end of the night. Be careful about taking things too far, too fast with them, or you’ll regret it in the morning. If you’re in a relationship, you could be tempted to stray from your amour. Consider how you would feel if you were betrayed.

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Sacrificing everything for the sake of a lover is a mistake. Your instincts are admirable, but consider how much you are letting go of. Are they really worth all of the blood, sweat, and tears you’ve shed? Have you created a dangerous dynamic by always taking the fall for them? Is it possible your relationship wouldn’t survive if you took a more selfish stance? These are questions you need to ask before running to the rescue again.

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Getting involved with a charitable cause will give you a new lease on life. Recently, you got wrapped up in a glamorous social scene. While it was fun to dress up and go to parties, there was something about the whole process which made you feel empty. Maybe it was the fact you never felt as though you really connected with these people. There’s nothing wrong with having a good time, but you need to balance play with work.

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Making a serious commitment to a person, cause, or job feels great. You want to feel like you make a positive difference in the world. Declaring your loyalty to someone or something will help you to do this. You can only do so much on your own. Forming an alliance will multiply your power many times over. Good things are arriving on the career front, too. A powerful female executive admires your work style, and could offer you a glamorous position.

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) You could get a visit from someone who lives a long way away. This reunion will be lots of fun. Be sure to arrange lots of different activities. The busier you are, the happier you’ll be. A legal matter could be decided in your favour. It’s a relief to get this situation out of the way. A writing or teaching opportunity could fall into your lap. It may not pay very much, but it could put you on the path to love.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Your love life sizzles with excitement and it’s hard to keep your hands off your lover. Spending the day in bed together will be great. It’s been a long time since you indulged your sensual side this way. If you’re single, you could meet someone special in a classroom, bookshop, or library. Keep your eyes open for somebody who waves their hands in the air while they speak. Money from a refund, inheritance, or investment should be put into a savings account.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) This is the best time of the whole year to form a romantic attachment. Embarking on a relationship, getting engaged, or wedding your partner are all favoured. If you already have a lover, do something special on their behalf. Relieving your amour of a dreaded chore could result in a passionate bedroom encounter. Hiring an agent, manager, or representative is also favoured. Such a person will be worth their weight in gold. Don’t begrudge them their fee.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Bigger and better job opportunities are coming your way. You’ll have a great deal of luck in the service industries. Working at a hotel, restaurant, or spa will afford lots of emotional fulfilment. It will also put a great deal of money in your pocket. Be willing to work for a commission. Your hard work and diligence will earn lots of tips and bonuses. If you’re already happy with your job, take this opportunity to spruce up your wardrobe.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) You’re an extremely popular figure now, and attract romantic interest at every turn. If you’re single, you’ll have the pick of several admirers. Choose the one who seems like they’ve been drinking from the Fountain of Youth. The two of you will have a great time travelling and studying. Are you already in a relationship? This would be a good time to spice things up in the bedroom. Love notes, sexy phone calls, and steamy text messages can get the ball rolling.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) You’re extremely attached to people and possessions. Loosening your grip on these things will give you a renewed sense of confidence. You have enough wit and cunning to make it on your own. You don’t need lots of stuff to survive. It’s possible a youngster wants to be more independent. Untying the apron strings will be healthier for you both. Yes, it’s terrifying to let children go in these crazy times, but sheltering them is dangerous, too.
