Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Outside pressures and influences are starting to interfere with a close relationship. An easygoing arrangement suddenly becomes more complicated. It just doesn't fit in with other things going on in your life. A lot of activity on the social and work scenes suggests everyone has plenty to do. Although no-one is shirking their responsibilities you could do with more understanding from those who constantly make demands. Problems encountered will be temporary: have a little patience.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) A fly by visit to a relative will make you aware of things happening in the family you'll need to give some thought to. At work other people will tend to set the pace. You aren't sure you are happy always having to supply the backup effort. It isn't that you want more responsibility but you would like your hard work to be noticed and appreciated. Currently someone else always gets the praise and perks and you don't feel you are receiving your just rewards.

Gemini (May22/June21) You're growing bored with routine and monotony. If the chance to explore new job options is there, be sure to take it. Better still grasp any opportunity that comes your way to travel or try your luck at something new, exciting and challenging. If you are starting to feel trapped by routine or everyday commitments, music could help change your mood, transport you to faraway places in your mind and soothe your soul.

Cancer (June22/July23) Now is a good time to examine accounts, check on investments and insurance and generally streamline your income and outgoings. A trusted friend who works in banking or accounting may pin point some easily made economies. A close relationship is not going in the direction you expected; you are growing apart. When you worked together towards the same goals you got on great but there is very little now shared that might keep you together.

Leo (July24/Aug23) You're being expected to take on jobs you don't normally do. People are waiting for you to complain. For that reason, consider why you're being asked to handle more responsibility. Could it be that you are the only one someone trusts to carry out the job? This is only a temporary phase as generally it's a forward looking and progressive week both for family and work concerns. New joint commitments will mean a major load will soon be taken off your shoulders.

Virgo (Aug24/Sept23) Difficulties you and a partner are going through has caused your relationship to be off balance. This in turn will lead to other side effects and you might start feeling insecure and depressed. There is a need to face up to anger issues and get what's bothering you off your chest. Either find a way to sort out joint problems or agree to go your separate ways. This is the only way to get your own health and emotions back on an even keel.

Libra (Sept24/Oct23) You'll never know what you are capable of if you allow someone else to control your decisions and actions. A boss, friend or lover may act as if they know better than you, what's best for you. Their attempts to manipulate stem from their own needs and desires to keep you under their control. Your yearnings are directed towards an unusual experience away from your normal haunts. Don't let anyone censor your life or stop you from following your own desires.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) A loved one may protest to the plans you are making and you would really appreciate their support. Try to consider their objections in a calm and rational way. After some thought you might come up with a great solution. It would be best not to grumble if your boss expects you to handle matters that could be dealt with by someone else. Your social life is fun but too much of a good thing isn't always good for you. You need some time to recharge your batteries.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) You know your own mind, your confidence shines and you'll enjoy taking the initiative. As far as you're concerned, there are no shortage of ideas and thoughts concerning improving the quality of life you share with others. Close relatives, or if you are married, your partner's family may reveal their views about an issue you had no idea they felt so strongly about. Now you know how they feel, you'll do all you can to support them.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) The moment you realise you are the one responsible for how you react, accept and deal with any situation, your life will change for the better. A failure or disappointment is not a wasted effort if you learn from it. Such breakthroughs could lead to exciting new experiences. If you are feeling down, you might find yourself choosing to wear darker colours such as blues, browns and blacks. You could deliberately break the mood by wearing yellow, orange or green and discover how colour can affect your emotions.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Should anyone you are involved with dig in their heels about a matter that cannot be taken further without their consent, consider the issue from their side. After taking a few steps back and looking at all angles of such a power struggle you might realise there is some sense in what they are saying. Your efforts to see things through their eyes and to bow to their wishes for the time being will be remembered in time to come.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) A quieter than usual few days should give you the chance you have been looking for to clear up outstanding odds and ends. When someone calls off a date or a new partner fails to turn up as arranged, you'll be understandably disappointed. Even so this could turn out to be a blessing in disguise as another offer is on its way. Domestic arrangements go well and family relationships gain in strength and harmony.
