Aries (Mar21/Apr20) It's a good time for buying or selling property. This will happen quite suddenly, and the result will be great. You may want to move to a relatively private spot. Although you're very social, you need a secluded area where you can recharge your batteries. Work can be something of a challenge now. You're not getting much positive feedback for your efforts. Instead of going the extra mile, put your energies toward more rewarding activities. You'll be much happier.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) Your ideas will be a real hit today.

It's possible you will be offered a job that involves teaching or writing. This position will put you in contact with some really interesting people. Normally, you prefer sticking with your own kind. This time around, though, you'll enjoy mixing with characters from all walks of life. Money talks may not go very well. The powers that be may not be willing to pay what you are worth. Negotiate a raise after a trial period.

Gemini (May22/Jun21) A job opportunity helps you on the road to fame and fortune. It's great to get paid for something you love to do. Opportunities related to entertainment, charity, and health care are all options. A dour relative may have a dim view of your career choice.

Don't let this man rain on your parade. He's just jealous that you are succeeding where he failed. The next time he heaps you with insults, cut him off. There's no need to tolerate such behaviour.

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) You could discover some hidden talents this week. Finding surprising ways to apply your expertise gives you a new level of confidence. Don't be surprised if you're asked to teach, write, or lecture. People look to you as an authority, even if you don't have formal training. Work may be intense, thanks to communication difficulties with colleagues. It may be necessary to take over a project that has gone off the tracks. Don't waste time blaming others; just put your shoulder to the wheel.

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Trusting your instincts will help you bond with someone special. The two of you have a very potent and powerful chemistry between you. If you're single, you could meet someone special at a place of worship or a hospital. This encounter will make you believe in love at first sight. You'll have to work hard to make ends meet.

Money isn't easy to come by now, especially when so many friends are out of work just keep following your more generous instincts.

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Pitching in with a team effort gives you a new lease on life. Generally, you like being of service to others, but working with your peers will give you a greater sense of confidence. An authority figure could be giving you mixed signals, which makes your job much harder.

No matter how hard you might try, you won't be able to get a straight answer from them. When in doubt, take your cues from a quirky colleague who looks like he knows what he's doing.

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Public recognition is coming your way, so get ready for the spotlight of attention to be trained on you. It's great to know people enjoy your creative vision.

If you've ever wanted a career in fashion, film, or television, take the plunge now. Offer to work for free, if you have to. Once you get your foot in the door, you'll head straight for the top. At times, you'll feel awkward about your lack of experience. When this happens, ask a seasoned colleague for advice.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) A chance to travel abroad, widen your knowledge base or get published could arrive quite suddenly.

Follow it up and life will never be the same afterwards. A close relationship could be showing signs of strain. Your friends may not approve of a new partner. Ultimately, you need to go with your heart on this one. It's impossible to destroy the chemistry between you and your amour. It helps that the two of you have an intellectual connection, too.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Things are looking good right now thanks to a romantic or business partner. Now you have more money, you can afford a down payment on a house. Resist the urge to spend it on meaningless luxuries. You need to establish long term stability. Struggles in your career are a result of poor communication skills. You need to learn the fine art of negotiation. Understand that tact and diplomacy are a better passport to success than assertive pushiness.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Old relationships evolve into newer, stronger friendships. Someone could get engaged or married quite suddenly. It's even possible you'll form a business partnership. No matter what the nature of this bond, it will have some unusual aspects. It's possible the two of you will be complete opposites. You lend stability to this pairing, while your partner is more unpredictable.

Health problems could bring you up short. Don't take up any new forms of exercise this week, and remember that slow and steady wins the race.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) There's never been a better time to start getting in shape. If you've had difficulty staying on track before, that won't happen now. It will be much easier to lose weight, tone up and not put it all back on. Changing your diet can really help. Stay away from carbohydrates and increase your intake of protein. If you're looking for work, you could find the perfect job in childcare, hospitality, or real estate. Financial difficulties could put a damper on your love life.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) A romance, creative project, or family decision could turn your life around. It's time to make room for joy and that might mean cutting back on work, even at the risk of losing money. You don't need to be wealthy to have fun. An overly serious friend or workmate may try to fill your head with fears regarding career prospects. You can always return to a certain job, but you can never regain moments of happiness. Do yourself a favour and follow your heart.
