Aries
(March 21 - April 20)
Stimulating conversations and inspiring companions scatter this week with laughter. Although finances may not be great, you do realise where your heart lies. A romantic atmosphere midweek starts you thinking about what could be. Should you come out and tell someone how you feel? It appears that there is little to lose and much to gain. Stifling feelings could prove a headache.
Taurus
(April 21 - May 21)
A romantic link or a good partnership could be your saviour this week. Keep contact between loved ones by getting out a bit more and having some intimate chats. The home could be the site of some irritation. A need to break free, if only for a few hours, may be strong. Staying flexible and relaxed gives an air of confidence even if you feel far from it underneath.
Gemini
(May 22 - June 21)
Bring yourself closer to loved ones by paying them extra attention. When they ask about your concerns, be willing to share your feelings. With some irritating aspects at work, it will be important to relax at home. This weekend can be extra special if you put in a bit of effort and imagination. After all, your mood can be enhanced by what you do through to the weekend.
Cancer
(June 22 - July 23)
There are bargains to be had and deals to be done, so sort those finances! Some spending may be cut back to give more scope for a purchase or holiday. The challenge is to move forward without spending too much. You are always good when given a challenge. A small gift to a young person is very much appreciated and shows that you care. Bring someone new into your social life.
Leo
(July 24 - August 23)
Stay flexible and relaxed in the evenings as during the day there could be some irritations. Keep that balance that you are renowned for, Leo. News midweek could mean the need to consult an expert rather than take casual advice. Should you want to keep a long-distance romance alive, it may be necessary and even desirable to arrange a trip. Make someone feel special.
Virgo
(August 24 - September 23)
A busy week is ahead so be sure that there is a ‘cut-off’ point when at home! Never underestimate the benefit of relaxation and happy conversation. Thinking of booking a holiday? Make arrangements flexible so that last-minute changes are easy. With new and interesting people coming into your life this month, new friends could be joining you!
Libra
(September 24 - October 23)
The need for a little romance may be strong. However, it may need to be self-generated. Someone who interests you may be in the doldrums and need a bit of encouragement. A long-term friendship may wither away or end and this is sure to leave a gap. Be strong and find an answer in the company of children and younger people. Optimism is all around you.
Scorpio
(October 24 - November 22)
Feeling a bit frazzled? Some retail therapy after Tuesday should cheer you up. Yes, there are bargains to be had. There are also friends to be made if only you are willing to look further afield. Some awkward customers seem determined to carp on. Be polite, though there is little to be done to please them. Move on from any discontent you feel around you.
Sagittarius
(November 23 - December 21)
Being a home bird has a lot to be said for it at the moment. Delays in travel and less than pleasing weather can upset the best-laid plans. Be prepared to juggle money around a little midweek to make the most of a bargain. A bit of luck is really cheering, so make the most of it. Asking for a favour is best at the weekend when others are in a brighter mood.
Capricorn
(December 22 - January 20)
When it appears that you cannot do anything for yourself this week, aim to do something for someone else. With a bit of imagination and optimism, you will find a new way forward. Fretting about finances? You are not alone, so seek help if needed. A new interest shows the way to a couple of friendships that perk up your health and feelings of wellbeing.
Aquarius
(January 21 - February 19)
Although an exciting and busy week, it is not a time to take chances. Indeed, being too outspoken at work could irritate a colleague. After Wednesday the aspects relax a little. At this time, ask for any favours that are needed. People can be prickly, but if you want someone on your side, arrange a get-together at the weekend. Give something without expecting anything back.
Pisces
(February 20 - March 20)
Someone who sparked a romantic interest in you in the last few weeks seems to want to move ahead. That can be good or it may be too soon. Be tactful if you want to slow down but be yourself. Showing your true colours should not be a risk if you intend to be honest. Make any travel plans flexible in case of delays or poor weather. Avoid misunderstandings by being clear.
