Your Star for the week

If you’ve been longing to get in shape, begin your exercise regimen this week. You’ll see impressive results as early as next month. You may have to spend a little extra money on a gym membership or organic food, but the investment will be worth it. In the event you are looking for a new job, you might want to explore opportunities related to real estate, childcare, or banking. Forging an intimate relationship with a sexy intellectual will prove blissful.

Your creative juices will be flowing freely this week. Take this opportunity to try your hand at filmmaking, photography, or dance. If you’re already focused on a particular medium, experiment with different techniques. You’ll be pleasantly surprised by the results. An admirer is eager to shower you with love and affection. It’s wonderful to have someone attend to your needs, for a change. An angry outburst helps to clear the air with a neighbour or sibling. Don’t shy away from confrontation.

Going on a trip with your family could be a lot more enjoyable than you expect. People tend to let down their defences in unfamiliar surroundings. You could discover hidden aspects of a relative’s personality. If you feel tired or uninspired, create a satisfying daily routine. A solitary cup of coffee in the morning, a stroll through the park at lunch, or a half hour of reading for pleasure before bed can brighten your outlook. Pursue an overseas moneymaking opportunity.

Usually, you keep a pretty low profile, but now you feel compelled to promote your interests, even at the risk of raising eyebrows. Fortunately, people are impressed by your assertive attitude and want to be on your team. Listen to what they have to say, it will help to improve your communication skills. Launching a website is also a brilliant idea. Don’t be surprised if you fall in love with a talented designer. You admire their artistry, and they’re drawn to your earthy sense of humour.

Although you’ve never put much emphasis on financial security, all that could change this week. You could be offered a lucrative job that allows you to work from home. Operating behind the scenes is a welcome relief from being scrutinised by an oppressive boss. Any opportunities related to computers, electronics, or broadcasting are highly favoured. Once you secure this job, you’ll probably be able to afford a bigger place to live. Look for a house in an area surrounded by greenery.

You’ll get a sudden surge of energy this week, prompting you to change your image in some profound way. Altering your hairstyle or wardrobe will prompt others to look at you in a new light. Don’t be afraid to adopt an offbeat look. A sexual liaison could send sparks of excitement through your life. It feels incredibly liberating to explode taboos that have paralysed you in the past. Taking a short trip for pleasure with your amour will prove blissful.

Recharging your spiritual batteries should be your first order of business this week. You’ve just come down from a period of intense social activity. Now all you want to do is draw the blinds, turn off the phone, and head for bed. Several enticing diversions are on offer, but don’t feel pressured to follow them up just now; you’ll be able to get moving later in the month. If you do go out, head for a low key gathering with friends.

Networking is the key to your success this week. If you’re looking for a job, spread the word among friends. You could get an interview for a position related to art, music, or luxury goods. Be sure to dress the part of a creative professional. Instead of wearing the traditional black and white ensemble, choose a suit colour that makes you stand apart from the crowd. A golden opportunity could arrive in the form of a blind date.

Developing a career plan is a good idea. You’ve been blessed with considerable intellectual and creative gifts so now it’s time you put them to work. Taking on an unusual work assignment will enable you to learn a valuable skill. Don’t complain that this chore doesn’t fall under the umbrella of your job description. Accepting this challenge will impress an authority figure. Additionally, it will open your eyes to other opportunities that were previously hidden from view. Working behind the scenes proves pleasurable.

Venturing into fresh fields will be an exciting diversion this week. You could be given the opportunity to study or acquire new skills. Alternatively, your boss could send you on an overseas business trip. You could find romance on this adventure, but be prepared for a surprise. Someone who is exactly opposite of your type could capture your heart. This pairing will cause quite a stir among your friends. You’ll have to make the first move toward this love interest.

Taking control of your life is both scary and exciting. It may be time to break away from somebody who has been influencing your thinking. While this move will be painful, it will also help you conquer fears that once held you prisoner. You’re a lot more resilient than you realised. A prominent woman in your desired industry could offer you a job. This could be your big break. Don’t be afraid to start small. You’ll soon work your way to the top.

Your powers of negotiation will be at an all time high this week. This is a great time to hammer out the terms of a business agreement. Signing legal papers is also favoured. If you’re not satisfied with the first proposal, ask for another. It will be virtually impossible to refuse your requests. If you’re single, you could meet someone at a local bookstore or library. Already in a relationship? Send your amour a love letter, text message, or email.
