Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Once you are hooked on a sport or interest it is hard to give it up. No matter how much it costs or how many times you get injured, you just want to keep going. Getting a balance in life these days is a tricky manoeuvre. It won't be easy to keep a loved one who doesn't share your interests happy. You are aware of how much they want you to give up some things in your life. But for now you're determined to keep going. You aren't ready to call it a day.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) You're quick to give help to someone to get a project they're working on off the ground. This will mean more to them than you realise. Permanent friendships are formed and if you are single, a romantic attachment could be made through your social affairs. A person who holds a special corner of your heart has been out of your life for too long now; you're thinking of paying them a visit. No matter how many miles might separate you, go with what's in your heart.

Gemini (May22/June21) You can't explain why you don't trust someone you're introduced to. Friends will accuse you of being neurotic but it isn't in you to ignore your instincts. Talking with someone who knew them in the past could reveal exactly why you are so suspicious. They may have a history of repeated patterns of deceit. Even if other people don't want to hear, at least you will know not to confide in them and they aren't likely to be reliable.

Cancer (June22/July23) A friend or relative you haven't seen in some time might contact you from out of the blue. It will be clear they aren't sure how you will feel them getting in touch with you. People in your life are important and you will be delighted that others made the effort. A trip down Memory Lane will make you keen to re-establish links with other old friends too. You might start searching for someone you can't get out of your mind!

Leo (July24/Aug23) You always strive to do your best in everything you take on. This week you are optimistic and feel you will get a current endeavour as close to perfection as is possible. The one flaw is: can you recognise when to stop? When other people praise you for your excellence, you might still feel you haven't got it right. Try too hard and you may well start to spoil it all. Perfection can be a subjective concept. Don't be too hard on yourself.

Virgo (Aug24/Sept23) There is a lot of hard graft necessary if you are to turn an ugly duckling of a project you have taken on into a swan! Whether this is property renovation, a money spinning sideline or a hobby, ideas shared sound very encouraging. It's not easy to decide on the best way to go. Using your imagination will help create an item or conversion that is pleasing to the eye. Friends and family bring unexpected surprises and social and romantic affairs will be to your liking

Libra (Sept24/Oct23) Letting go of a relationship or experience that has caused you a lot of emotional hurt doesn't mean you can't learn from what the past has taught you. It is entirely possible this experience was meant to be in that it will make a big difference to the decisions you make in the future. It won't be good for you to become too wrapped up in the past. You need to learn how to detach yourself emotionally and learn objectively from your experiences.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Pause for a wee while if you are unclear about your next move in romance or in joint plans or arrangements. You are still exploring feelings and possibilities and this is something you can't do in a rush. Choices now before you will bring you closer to your own needs as new considerations put you in touch with your inner self. Wearing turquoise will help quieten your mind and soul and may even have a cleansing effect on your thoughts.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) You could do with taking a break from current commitments but it is unlikely you will get the chance. The more you take on, the more others expect of you, as you are discovering now. You have lots to say these days and you will say it well. You want to have fun but there is no time for that. Despite such heavy responsibility, try to take up some of the social and romantic opportunities that come your way.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Be honest about how you really feel and don't shy away from the idea of a heart to heart. You need to be up front in your relationships as how else might you fulfil your secret longings. If you hide what you think and feel, no one will ever be able to understand you. Once you talk openly and thoroughly you can all make a decision on what you are going to do, knowing there is nothing that has been disregarded.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) You don't have to go for a lavish makeover if other members of your household are talking about renovating your home. Keep it simple and keep it cheap. You could spruce up the place without having to make too many sacrifices. Go for neutral colour schemes. In your working world you might feel drawn to someone with a complex personality when you're curious to discover what makes them tick.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) You barely get started on some work you have to do when hurdles get in the way. Having to deal with unexpected problems makes the job a lot more complicated than expected but your perseverance will pay off in the long term. Read instructions before tampering with instruments you aren't familiar with. You may feel you have been too hard on someone in encouraging them to stand on their own two feet. You're ready now to make amends.
