What's in the stars next week

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) An impulsive thread runs through this week. Not only are you unpredictable, but those around you are too. It sounds chaotic but, actually, it isn’t. You are spurred into action. The opportunities to get things done are great and, even better, your talents are on show! A week that starts with a full moon can see you getting quite dewy-eyed. Will this be the right time to take romance a step further?

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Work and career prospects are looking brighter and better right now. The urge to show what you can do is irresistible. This could generate a bit of jealousy from colleagues who could be wishing they had done more. Socialising with friends from work shows them what a great person you really are. Why would they doubt that? A little more everyday communication with them would be good.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Finances and work matters seem to run hand in hand with the home this week. Starting off with a full moon, emotions can run high at times as you try to get everything done. Is it possible that you expect too much of yourself? Involving friends and family in small projects can mean less work for you. You could have a lot to organise between now and the holidays!

CANCER (June 22 - July 22) There is something of a sparkle about you this week. Could the full moon be urging you to expand your horizons? An appreciation of everything natural can lead you to take up a gentle but positive form of exercise such as yoga or tai chi. Creativity expands to include your love life where you feel adventurous. A good sense of humour goes hand in hand with romance, especially at the weekend.

LEO (July 23 - August 23) In a busy week, make plenty of time to take care of your own needs. Relaxation is not a luxury but a necessity! The hazy glow of the full moon brings warmth of spirit. There is a feeling of contentment and you want to spread the joy. However, don’t go overboard on the spending just yet. Looking to the future, there are many paths you could take. Being spoilt for choice is great unless there are too many options.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) A feeling of romance and warmth shines right through this week. Could it be the full moon? More likely it is the comments from a loved one midweek. Was it worth making that extra effort to find out what they were thinking? It certainly seems so. Make plans for the forthcoming holidays. Those who you want to be with around holiday time may get booked up early.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Contacts made this week could bring a shine to your life in the New Year. So, get out and about and chat to anyone who will listen. When shopping for gifts, seek bargains in music and art. Someone who offers a special experience may be trying to find out what interests you. Why? With a full moon comes a full heart. Will you let your feelings be known? Maybe you should before someone else does!

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) The full moon makes a loved one feel romantic. Will you notice? Maybe you haven’t noticed for some while? Get out the wine and chocolates and have a romantic night in. Go for a long walk in the countryside with a hot flask. Do you know what they want? There are lots of questions about your closest relationship. This is good if it makes you think a bit deeper about your own needs and those of others.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Someone who has romantic thoughts about you may let you know about them unexpectedly. Be tactful if you are not interested. If you want time to think about it, just come out and say so. Work and home tensions can make themselves felt. Someone close could be fretting about something you feel is not important. Before you dismiss their comments, read between the lines.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Loved ones want all of your attention. Is it tricky to give it this week with so much to do? Sometimes others don’t appreciate that what takes you away from them is done for their benefit. Just explain it and look forward to the holiday ahead. Do you have any special plans? Involve the family in festive ideas. Being ambitious means using more energy and thought and not necessarily more money!

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Starting this week with a full moon gets you in a pretty romantic mood. Take your loved one out into the night to admire the stars. A small bunch of flowers and a smile bring more joy then a flashy parcel. Keep an eye on those finances anyway. A nice warm glow and thinking about the holiday ahead may lead to spending. Look for bargains that feature art or music to make the right impression.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) You won’t want to stray too far from home this week. Getting everything beautiful before the holidays? Bright colours and bright ideas are buzzing in your head. However, don’t forget to get out and look for those bargains as the weekend approaches. When you find an ideal present, buy it. Stock changes. It is a happy period. There is so much that you can do to make loved ones feel great.

Monday’s Birthday Luck: Happy Birthday! Expansion and optimism are your watchwords in the coming months, Scorpio. Your success is as big as your ambition, so you do need to have some! It could be easy to just drift. Don’t.

Tuesday’s Birthday Luck: Happy Birthday! Any extra effort that you put into life now will really pay dividends, Scorpio. Go full pelt to make your wishes come true. So much is in your hands now that it can be very exciting.

Wednesday’s Birthday Luck: Happy Birthday! Every cloud has a silver lining? Maybe. Even so, I don’t see many clouds around you right now, Scorpio. Keep finances in tip-top condition. There could still be a few rainy days later on.

Thursday’s Birthday Luck: Happy Birthday! Scorpio, how very fortunate you are. When you work hard you nearly always get rewarded. Keeping up the momentum is sometimes tiring. I am here to tell you that it is well worth the effort.

Friday’s Birthday Luck: Happy Birthday! Whoever would want to be in your shoes, Scorpio? Well, quite a few people as it happens! At times when you think that things could go better for you, look around at others. Better?

Saturday’s Birthday Luck: Happy Birthday! The more things run smoothly, Scorpio, the more you are irritated when they do not. Chill out a bit! Expecting too much every day can bring its own tensions. Why not live a bit more in the present?

Sunday’s Birthday Luck: Happy Birthday! Scorpio, you can be a real puzzle at times. Some see you as mysterious, others as uncommunicative. Try to be neither because it really gives the wrong impression. Be yourself!
