Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 19)

An unusual situation may arise in your relationship; it may be necessary to correct the oversight. Love could be expensive, but enjoyable, so kick up your feet, enjoy the present, your sexuality is running on a high. Try your hand at something you have not experienced before — you’ll be surprised by the outcome. Business and financial luck may attract to you like a magnet. Hobbies, sport, outdoor activities or new social interests may attract you. Real estate, property changes, buying, selling, or trading brings profits and gains. Your intuition will be spot on, in matters of money and speculation. Others may turn to you for tips or advice, concerning security and welfare. Avoid overindulgence with food.

Taurus (Apr 20 - May 20)

A lucky week is in store, full of fascinating new opportunities; an invitation to a big social event is on the way. If you don’t wish to make a fool of yourself, keep your feet firmly on the ground. You’re very impulsive and restless now. Avoid acting or speaking too quickly without sufficient forethought for the consequences. You tend to be verbally aggressive, starting fights with people who don’t agree with you or who simply get in your way. Positively, you are very sharp and mentally clear at this time, and will attack tasks with great vigour. New career directions are indicated. Surprise, surprise is the theme for this week.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

Pushing ahead with your plans, you’ll be on good terms with most people. Personal and business relationships are favoured and gains can be made. Some heavy expenditure is indicated around the workplace or home front; don’t worry over current bills — money attracts to you in an unusual way. You may take a big step forward in your career. You should list your strong emotional points and make sure your partner is aware of them. If there is any question of doubt between you and your partner, always make clear your intentions and keep up a bright, optimistic attitude. A parcel or gift from a loved one may arrive quite unexpectedly.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

For you to be frank with love may take courage and sincerity. Wait for the other person to make the next move. Love is full of surprises now. Your carefree attitude may set you up for a splendid vacation period with someone you love. Financial luck is around you now — a great week for speculation or investment. Mix a little business with pleasure for sure results. Progress can be made without any difficulty or opposition. Social activities may take up much of your time; rushing around after others will keep you busy. You may feel lucky or extravagant with your money; don’t be fooled into thinking you have an endless supply.

Leo (July 23 - Aug 22)

Material benefits are likely at this time, but beware of being overly generous or depending too much on Lady Luck. You may also have to chase up those who owe you favours or money. Be bold, break free from old habits and become more spontaneous. Due to new opportunities, you may discover hidden creative talents and abilities. Explore optional career developments, particularly ones that require greater spontaneity or improvisation. Marketing, sales and administration may interest you. Take extra care with all business and personal activities; there may be a tendency to involve yourself in projects that could be beyond your capacity. Be realistic; don’t get carried away with your exaggerated enthusiasm — just be yourself and you will succeed. Exciting news is on the way.

Virgo (Aug 23 - Sept 22)

Your positive attitude and imagination will increase; however, so will your impulsiveness. Others will encourage you to undertake tasks or run risks that you have not dared to take before; it is important that you don’t overextend your energy and be sure to finish what you have started. Tensions in an intimate relationship make themselves felt now. You may feel out of sync with your partner, dissatisfied in a way that may be difficult to pinpoint and resolve. Most likely, you are pulled between pleasing your partner and expressing your own desires and needs. Your love rhythms are a little off — this affects all your relationships, but particularly those that are deep in nature. Family relationships may be in for a positive change by the weekend.

Libra (Sept 23 - Oct 22)

A relationship with the opposite sex will be exciting, although there could be minor disagreements due to your impatience or possessiveness. Overall, your relationships will be happy; take up new romantic opportunities with enthusiasm. Economic success is indicated with intellectual occupations, commerce or activities related to imports or exports. Business and family relationships are favourable for most financial projects. You can rely on the collaboration of friends, relatives or neighbours for assistance when you need it. A week of great progress and professional success, your trust, enthusiasm and the ability to channel your energies correctly will bring evolution and general improvement. There could be an unexpected increase in your income.

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21)

You may develop a new interest in sport, or attract to clubs, groups and organisations. New business ventures are successful; your future goals will be very clear and you will work efficiently to attain them. Satisfaction and pride is important to you, in everything you do. This can be a reckless week of variety and change; take care — your impulsiveness may get you into trouble. You have optimism and high hopes for your future and with a little care and good judgement, the world can be your oyster. A sudden change in your social and career activities may throw your optimism off course. With a little moderation, tolerance and discretion, you’ll see the light at the end of the tunnel and rectify any indifference. Answer all correspondence quickly.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 21)

Try unloading some of your personal resistance off on someone else; others are getting tired of your procrastination. Be receptive to higher spiritual guidance in your romantic planning now. A new idea may come to you regarding how to improve your options in love and marriage. Fate may bring you a new encounter with someone younger, or you may renew an old relationship. Your intuition and imagination can point you in the right direction now. You seek romance and glamour in love, peace and harmony with family and friends. Your imagination will be working overtime, finding out new ways to excite your partner. This is a lucky week for all career and business activities. A new friend or co-worker may contribute to your education and development by sharing knowledge.

Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 19)

You must be receptive and willing to exchange some of your own skills with others this week. Money comes and goes in large amounts. This is something of a transition period. Nevertheless, there is a lot of potential for happiness if you don’t rush into accepting the first opportunity that comes along just for the sake of doing something. Your goal is to carefully consider what your next move will be and make an informed choice accordingly. A social visit with old friends and relatives may be rich with generosity and happiness. Entertainment activities may stretch your budget, but what a happy week you’ll have. Good news could reach you around now, concerning a past interview, meeting or idea. Don’t bite off more than you can chew. Watch for the sudden or unexpected.

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 18)

If you reach for the sky, your hopes and desires will be granted. A volley of big surprises may hit you when you least expect them too. Legal, financial, general business matters and contracts bring capital gains right now. It will be easy to terminate red tape and formal procedures; push ahead with your goals. With greater confidence and energy around you now, your emotions will be full steam ahead. This is a romantic time, though you may not take it too seriously. Outdoor recreation and sporting interests attract new lovers. An interesting event may have you in a spin, concerning your relationships with others. You may be a little unforgiving when it comes to apologies from others.

Pisces (Feb 19- Mar 20)

Keep a level head with all emotional communication. You are entering an extremely creative period in your life right now. This week symbolises growth and new opportunities. Your favourite projects will lead to much fulfilment. A new job may be in the offing, or you may start a new business. This week symbolises fluidity. A flexible attitude in dealing with the world will help you avoid stress and disappointment. A party or get-together may be just what the doctor ordered. Luck comes quite unexpectedly through group encounters with others. Younger people may require your assistance this week. Family affairs may put a strain on you. Added financial responsibilities, expenses and job matters may have you concerned.
