Aries (Mar21/Apr20) There is more time now to follow up pastimes that have been forced to take a back seat lately. You will be taking the lead in planning future events and your aim is to focus on your main ambitions. Once everything is in place you will be quick to act on your plans. Watching your ideas develop and turning thoughts into reality will give you a sense of accomplishment. Avoid taking on too much too soon or you will find it hard to keep on top of it all over the weeks to come.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) A friend or colleague is determined to get ahead in a group endeavour. You aren't used to working so quickly and their attitude could make you feel suddenly unimportant and left out. If you aren't happy about other people cutting corners, continue on your own in the background. Eventually others will see you have the right idea and they will admit that sometimes too much haste can lead to mistakes and actually slow progress down!

Gemini (May22/June21) There is no worry about you falling behind with your work when a male friend or colleague is putting himself out to help you. You should also be pleased with developments in a group endeavour when the ultimate aim is to bring likeminded people together. A friend doesn't seem to want to listen to your opinions in the weekend but a relative may need an extra hug. Enjoy romance and fun pursuits whenever you get the chance.

Cancer (June22/July23) A growing understanding of other people and their realisation of what makes you tick will make quite a difference to your relationships now. You can relax and be yourself without feeling self conscious. Friends and colleagues accept you for who you are. Inner turmoil and confusion of the past is not so evident now as you start to realise people do like you. You don't have to pretend to be someone you aren't and you can share your true views with confidence.

Leo (July24/Aug23) If you find a way to do your own thing, you will be booking a holiday or making a spur of the moment journey. It is within you to push ahead with your main aims and all because your determination will be equally matched with high levels of physical and mental energy. Emotionally you feel powerfully that you are making the right choices and decisions. Changes in your life will involve some binding commitments.

Virgo (Aug24/Sept23) It will be easier this week, than next, to communicate with those around you. For this reason, it's a good time to clear up any backlog of emails and letters. Rather than leave messages for others to pass on, deliver them yourself. Conversations should be honest and open. This will help avoid any possible misunderstandings next week when your ruler Mercury turns retrograde.

Libra (Sept24/Oct23) Your calm presence can be soothing for those who are muddled, confused or upset. As the week begins, go out of your way to encourage someone close to relax, compose themselves and listen to your advice. They may resist at first but you will persevere. As a result together you will find a way for them to cope with their current problems. Thanks to your determined efforts, happiness all round can be expected!

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Give and take will be necessary if you are to find harmony within the household. Someone you live with may not be happy with the way you are putting work before pleasure, these days. Even so, there are jobs you have to do and you have always taken your commitments seriously. There's a greater chance of contentment if you agree to put some time aside, either in the evenings or the weekend, to devote purely to your loved ones.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) You could achieve many longed for changes and increased happiness through your current relationships. There's a strong romantic feel to your days as developments in a loving relationship add a touch of sensuality into your life. Gifts are exchanged for no other reason than you long to please each other. Discussions regarding domestic changes are highlighted in the weekend, in a favourable way.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) The saying about charity beginning at home could well come true this week when an opportunity to help out a close relative will crop up. If you're thinking of moving in with your current partner, this is an ideal time to let them know how you feel. You and someone younger will understand each other very well so don't be surprised if they come to you for some advice on a subject they can't discuss with just anyone.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Jobs, chores and pastimes calling for mental rather than physical skills will keep you occupied and even entertained this week. Physically, you aren't feeling very active and anything demanding concentration will suit your mood better. If you're trying something for the very first time, perseverance will certainly pay off. Weekend is an ideal time to visit your favourite restaurant.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Your ability to tune into other people's feelings and understand where they are coming from could strongly influence your thoughts and actions. Consequently, this could mark a turning point in a special arrangement. You feel more confident about the future because you know when others are being sincere. Increased optimism will also lead to a stronger desire to put your time and energy to better use now.
