Your stars for this week

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Restlessness can be both your friend and your enemy. A little of it propels you forward, but too much is exhausting. Channel all of that energy into any travel or other physical activities. Look forward to the holidays when there is the chance to treat loved ones generously. That also means giving more of your time and attention. It is more valuable to them than baubles, really!

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) If you have been taking the lead at work and home, this week should see you pretty well organised. Given the chance, now, to get to grips with any sticky problems, a bit more thought is needed. No, this is not a time for ‘quick fixes’ or putting matters on the back shelf. Romance? Be prepared to step forward at the weekend. The weekend gives you a chance, also, to make your plans clearer and more attractive.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) This week, new relationships tend to be more important than existing ones. At work, changes mean getting to grips with a fresh approach or new technology. Everything seems designed to keep you moving and ‘in the moment’. Buying a present for a loved one? There are bargains and, remember, choosing carefully is better than flashing the cash! The weekend can see far-reaching changes in a current relationship.

CANCER (June 22 - July 22) Everything this week is leading you to build on a current success. Maybe there needs to be more investment to move forward. This could be in time rather than cash. If you need to be away from family more, get things organised well in advance. Bring the weekend into focus, even if you are busy, by arranging a treat. Changes, or talking about them, comes to the fore at the weekend.

LEO (July 23 - August 23) You must be glad now that you took charge of certain areas of your life. It is so much better than waiting for others to act, isn’t it? Romance flourishes thanks to moves made last month and contacts made through relatives. As the weekend approaches it becomes harder to make decisions. Maybe all that racing around has made you tired and wistful? Relaxation for you may mean moving around, but please give the brain a rest!

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Keep a sharp eye open for a new chance to shine at work. This is not a week to hold back, especially when it comes to showing your talents. Bursts of energy make you appear dynamic and in control, which is great! Use this to your advantage at home also. Sudden expenses can arise that need quick thinking and a calm approach. Family may have useful ideas and more than one person can be approached for help.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) This is a great week. Good news seems to be everywhere, especially in your domestic life. Could you be welcoming a new member of the family? Perhaps there will be a wedding or a big celebration? Some fiery exchanges are likely with someone close. The better option may be to avoid contact until someone has calmed down. You will be far too busy socialising to get to grips with this anyway.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) With so many ideas buzzing around in your head it is hard to concentrate on any particular one. However, that is what you need to do to stop yourself going in circles! Make that all-important list and tick things off one at a time. Sounds tedious? Gets the job done though before a delicious weekend when passions are very much alive! Maybe you feel like disappearing somewhere quiet with your loved one?

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) This is a great time to ask for what you want in any sphere. Be your usual charming self and completely open with your emotions. Remember no-one expects you to be perfect, but sometimes you come pretty close! Deal with legal matters and finances right through this week. It is straightforward if you concentrate. At the weekend there is the chance to get to grips with that special someone. Relax then, and enjoy.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Want to win friends and influence people? Well, this is the time to do it! Pull out the charm and that sparkling smile. Show your true emotions in your eyes and don’t try to hold back. This is no time to be shy. Love and a social whirl are a few steps away. Romance is firmly on the agenda at the weekend. You don’t have to be organised. Just one romantic gesture sets the scene.

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Forget those nagging doubts and boost your confidence. Change anything about your appearance that has stayed the same since the year dot. A new hairstyle or some bright colours may be all that is needed. Be brisk and to the point with someone who is not doing the right thing. Perhaps they owe you money or have not kept a promise. Tell it as it is. You don’t need their negative vibes.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Something that is not going your way can make you irritable. Certainly think before you fire off that email or make that phone call! A calming influence arrives midweek, possibly a loved one, and they put things into perspective. This gives the chance to clearly make a long-needed decision. Negative people and negative results can no longer be given your time. Does someone you have helped out keep making the same mistakes?
