Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Something you witness could stir up some painful memories that might keep you awake at night. Mercury will turn retrograde in your sign later in the week. This isn't a time to expect too much from yourself or others. Being sensible and taking a totally realistic view of life will help you get more satisfaction out of the days without feeling too frustrated! You might soon be renewing a relationship with an old friend.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) The only way to get another person to see a situation through your eyes is to be quietly persistent. Letting them see your impatience could bring on an even more stubborn mood which will delay plans further! If you have something important you need to discuss with someone, don't leave it until the evenings, when they are too tired to concentrate. Trust your intuition this week even if you have no way of proving to others that your hunches are right.

Gemini (May22/June21) Although normally you could sell ice to Eskimos you may have to admit defeat this week when there are certain people who will not budge in their opinions. With your ruler Mercury turning retrograde, you could be dealing with some stubborn friends or workmates who will constantly resist suggestions you feel can't be faulted. A workshop you were looking forward to and may even have paid for, might be cancelled.

Cancer (June22/July23) Getting an unfinished project out of the way will leave more room in your life for your other interests. Someone is keen to get you involved in their favourite activities but you aren't so sure they are for you. Continue to play a waiting game without committing yourself to anything of a long term nature. You might agree on a trial or to attending a few sessions before deciding what you are going to do.

Leo (July24/Aug23) A disappointment may have something to do with travel arrangements but don't allow this to colour your views on the rest of your life. A loving relationship for instance will bring you immense joy and happiness. Keep reminding yourself of a favour you promised to do for someone, until it is done. It could so easily slip your mind and you could leave them feeling as if they can't trust you. You can avoid this by fulfilling obligations straight away.

Virgo (Aug24/Sept23) If you want to keep up with everything that is going on at work and in the home make a point of circulating amongst colleagues and friends. There may be some coolness between you and someone you see almost every day. You both have different ideas on a subject and neither of you will budge from your standpoint. You feel let down by someone you trusted but there are others around who will seem more understanding.

Libra (Sept24/Oct23) Other people wonder exactly what your views are and they aren't the only ones who are feeling confused. Even you will sometimes feel uncertain. The problem is you can argue both sides of a situation so well that it's difficult to know what to do for the best. It's unlikely you will ever make your mind up unless you spin a coin and let heads or tails be the deciding factor.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Even if you've never done so before, if you notice your boss or a colleague is fumbling with a job, go out of your way to provide advice and words of support. Senior colleagues are human too and they appreciate help just like anyone else. Any person who seems all at sea or is slightly unsure of themselves will welcome your help and guidance. Friendship and work could be linked in some way at this time.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21). The estimate for a household repair or improvement idea is way above the price you had anticipated. You or a housemate might be seriously thinking about tackling the job yourselves. Before you do, consider whether you are up to it or could you make things worse by attempting something that is beyond your capabilities. A friend who is something of an expert in this area could be willing to give you some help.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Children and teenagers in particular could cause problems with their rebellious attitude and obstructive mood. It won't be easy to hide your feelings but patience will be necessary if you are to take a firm line and don't let them get their own way. It would be a big mistake to adopt a policy of appeasement as this will only bring more problems in the future. Conditions and circumstances of the past may return.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Try to use the restless mood that now has you in its grip in a positive way. Push jobs that may demand hours of your time to one side as you won't have the concentration necessary to do them justice. Instead, deal with odds and ends from the past and get these out of your way. Think about how you might change your everyday routines to make life more interesting in the future. You could be deluged with paperwork as the week comes to an end with a number of tiresome forms to fill in.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) You've always been in tune with your spirituality and you can usually rely on your instincts. Not so this week! Your intuition may not be your best friend and if you follow what you feel is a gut feeling, you could end up in an awkward situation. You may have to re-arrange your budget in order to afford some unexpected but necessary expenses. Frustrations and restrictions may hamper your progress at work.
