This week’s guide to your personal and professional affairs by John Nash

Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 19)

The secretive link between Mars and Scorpio suggest that things are best played close to the chest. The fewer people who know what you’re up to, the better. Don’t assume a mantle of cold hostility just to keep others from asking awkward questions. That would only make them suspicious. Adopt a mien of cheerful breeziness and no one will guess you have an ace up your sleeve. But, the time isn’t ripe to play your trump card. You need to wait till the competition becomes complacent. Stay cool and poker-faced!

Taurus (Apr 20- May 20)

An unforeseen development this week will pull you up sharply and remind you of the importance of fulfilling everyday commitments. However, don’t let your conscience go on a guilt trip. Not everyone would attempt to cope with the number of duties you have on your plate at the moment, but with dutiful Venus and idealistic Neptune on your side, you’ll manage well. Don’t let work occupy your every moment to exclude romantic or social interests. Keeping a balance requires sorting out a sensible timetable.

Gemini (May 21 - Jun 20)

Sparkling Gemini is an easy charmer — seldom at a loss for words. However, saying the right thing at the right time this week is not going to be easy. You might find yourself tongue-tied or apt to be verbally clumsy. You can’t afford to get things wrong or be misinterpreted lest you offend those you seek to impress. You could easily cause embarrassment if you blurt something out without thinking. Make sure you’re in full possession of all the facts and your brain is fully engaged before you open your mouth.

Cancer (Jun 21 - Jul 22)

What does it mean when the Moon eclipses three major planets this week? Nothing sinister. The Lunar eclipse of Jupiter, Venus and Mars, planets governing generous, friendly and impetuous desires, merely suggests you curb any such impulses lest they be deemed inappropriate. Social relations could be tricky if people misconstrue your actions regardless of your motive. No matter how much people are floundering in the mud, don’t offer them a hand up to the safety of the sands above the tidemark.

Leo (Jul 23 - Aug 22)

Although you may be unaware of it, you seem moody and hard to approach lately. It’s probably not your fault that circumstances have created distractions and no one can accuse you of willful neglect. But, there’s at least one person in your life who hasn’t received the kind of attention that he deserves. Make time to show you’re available for someone that’s been loyally waiting in the wings. Throwing money at the problem won’t make it go away, but a promise to mend your ways wouldn’t go amiss.

Virgo (Aug 23 - Sept 22)

Make this a week for taking stock and replenishing dwindling supplies. You must be aware that you’ve run out of energy and ideas. This is probably because you initially set yourself impossible targets and under-estimated how much would be needed in the time you allowed. But, why aim to cause a glut when demand doesn’t credit it? Wait till the market picks up. You have an enormous capacity for hard work and long hours, but there’s no point in keeping to such a punishing schedule during the doldrums.

Libra (Sept 23 - Oct 22)

A positive Venus-Jupiter conjunction this weekend stresses the value of true friendship. Just let bygones be bygones and accept that it’s time to forgive and forget. You must realise that no one intended you to be hurt — you were simply an accidental casualty caught in the crossfire. Leave the past in the past where it belongs and get yourself back into the mainstream. There’s no point in cutting off your nose to spite your face. You’re not by nature a loner and being with others brings out the best in you.

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21)
