Aries (March 21 - April 20)
Someone from a different sphere comes into your life this week and your attraction to them is almost instant. This does not mean, however, that the feeling will last. It is likely that cultural differences will cause problems later. In the workplace there is a feeling that someone is not pulling their weight. Are they slacking or do they need help and reassurance? Check it out before commenting.
Taurus (April 21 - May 21)
A meeting with friends could throw up an old flame of yours. A rush of sentimentality should not be mistaken for anything else. Chatting over old times reminds you of why you are not still together. At home you are wanting to make changes. If cash is tight then a pot of paint and moving the furniture around can make a difference temporarily. There is good news at the weekend regarding a child.
Gemini (May 22 - June 21)
Long-term love is highlighted. Someone you helped in the past comes up with a good suggestion. A social evening may see someone new coming into your sphere who is different and perhaps exciting. Without mistaking infatuation for love, you are able to enjoy their company. The weekend, however, brings you down to earth when a practical matter takes your attention.
Cancer (June 22 - July 23)
There is a need to be settled and involved that is at odds with your love of freedom. This is especially true when it comes to work matters. What you had hoped would bring a quick payback is delayed or even cancelled. If there is no plan B then find one. Get some friends together and throw it open to discussion. The best ideas sometimes come late at night.
Leo (July 24 - August 23)
Having a social outlook and a keen intelligence, you want to cast your social net wide. Some cultural differences may get in the way, however. If you avoid discussing religion and politics you can smooth troubled waters. Indeed, your mission this week seems to be helping others to understand. Have you been given the chance to shine? Use your talents to the full and enjoy it.
Virgo (August 24 - September 23)
Suddenly experiencing a situation you have yearned for is a shock. Knowing how to deal with it requires a period of adjustment but maybe you only have minutes to react. Stay calm and ask a simple question to put the ball in someone else’s court. Choose your companions carefully at the weekend, as disagreements are likely and should be avoided.
Libra (September 24 - October 23)
Just when you thought that a relationship was fizzling out, there is a change. You may be pleased about this. Even so, look behind the smiling face of someone who could have an ulterior motive. Be with friends and family at the weekend that you can trust and relax with. Asking their opinion on a new friend makes things clearer in your own mind, which is good.
Scorpio (October 24 - November 22)
Naturally cautious, you may suspect the motives of someone who makes an offer. Of course it is essential to question financial matters. Having worked for your cash, you want to be sure of where it goes. A lighter side to the week comes with a flirtation that makes you smile. Surely anything that makes you feel younger and energetic is good? Possibly.
Sagittarius (November 23 - December 21)
Your love of freedom and a light-hearted approach is at odds with deeper feelings of need. Maybe it is time for a bit of give and take with a partner. Realising that if you do not give more then you cannot make progress is hard. Is it, though, so very bad? The more flexible you are, the quicker a situation is resolved. Pride should not be allowed to trip you up.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 20)
Someone finds the fact that you try to hold something back charming. That is because they feel in control already. Is it time to make a stand for what you want or believe? You should choose your own direction in life if you really want satisfaction. It seems that a romantic meeting of last week has not been acted upon. Don’t be afraid to call or email. Trust your instincts.
Aquarius (January 21 - February 19)
We all feel a bit disgruntled when we don’t get our own way. It does not make you foolish or selfish. It is what you do next that shows your true character. May I guide you by saying that you should pay attention to your initial instinct? Listen to what others think you should do and then do what you need to do. They are unlikely to be the same thing.
Pisces (February 20 - March 20)
Your sheer confidence impresses this week. Schedule any important meetings and arrange any important liaisons. If your luck seems too good to be true, use it while you can! There is a hidden depth of passion in someone you are very familiar with. Do you want to bring it out? Does a lion tamer want to play with lions? Being honest and direct gets you brownie points.
