ARIES

Pay attention to how the people around you act and feel this week. You can make a difference to the outcome of a situation if you are perceptive and receptive. The more you do to help others, the better you will feel about yourself. A change in attitude will mark new beginnings. Share the truth and demand the same in return.

TAURUS

Listen and observe and you will know instinctively how best to respond as well as make the best choice for you. Emotions will take leaving you in a quandary dealing with someone you live with. Show passion in the way you approach beliefs and situations and compassion when dealing with people and you will gain acceptance. Romance will improve your personal life. Take a closer look at your lifestyle and consider what you can do to encourage saving more and spending less.

GEMINI

Use your intelligence with friends, people looking for a handout or situations that have the potential to turn ugly. Socializing is favoured mentally and emotionally but physically it may be stressful on the body. Be sure to schedule time to eat properly and get enough rest to rejuvenate so you offer your best. You’ll face some opposition when dealing with peers. Listen and counter with sound suggestions that are difficult to turn down. A romantic plan will go over well.

CANCER

Focus on yourself on this week, not on what others do. An emotional encounter can turn into a lovefest or result in an emotional frenzy that leaves you or someone close to you wondering what to do next. If you love someone, let him or her know. Socializing will be good for the soul. Reach out to like-minded people and you’ll come up with a plan worth initiating. Romance is in the stars. Aim for convenience, comfort and lowering your overhead.

LEO

Take care of unfinished business and head into the upcoming week free and clear of anything that can hold you back. Spice things up a bit this week. Dress to make a statement, and don’t be shy when it comes to letting others know what you want and expect. A cautious approach will be in your best interest if you want to avoid a sudden change that takes its toll on you emotionally. You may need an outlet for your frustration but don’t do or say something that will leave you in a vulnerable position.

VIRGO

Take note how others react. What you see will help you decide how good or bad a relationship you have with the people you deal with daily is. If someone is forceful or using pressure tactics take a step back and assess the situation. Unite with others who want to put an end to such behaviour. What you discover or learn will have an impact on the way you feel. Someone isn’t likely to be honest with you late this week. If someone says something that doesn’t sound right, ask questions.

LIBRA

Learn all you can from someone with more life experience. The information you are given will help you make a move. A change will take place that stems from an emotional confrontation you have with someone close to you. Don’t back down if you are being treated unfairly. Don’t lose sight of what someone put you through before you decide to let someone back into your life who doesn’t deserve to be there. Do something physical.

SCORPIO

Surround yourself with people who share your beliefs and determination to stand up for your rights. Work behind the scenes honing your skills and preparing for what you want to pursue. The less you tell others, the easier it will be to get things done without interference. A unique opportunity will open up. Listen to what’s being offered and consider the best way to get involved without jeopardizing your current position.

SAGITTARIUS

Someone’s not telling the truth. If you are, beware of what others are saying or leading you to believe. Mixed emotions are apparent. Stay on top of your responsibilities, and be willing to take on more if it will give you a chance to show off what you have to offer. Look for a creative outlet. Taking on too much physically can end in injury or fatigue. Know your limitations and how best to use your attributes.

CAPRICORN

An opportunity should not be missed or wasted because someone is complaining or being too demanding. The change that is going on around you should be observed but not acted upon. Watching things unfold will lead to knowledge that will help you pick the most opportune time to make your move. A positive change is within reach. Your patience has paid off, and what you deserve will be yours. Enjoy the moment, but don’t relish someone else’s loss.

AQUARIUS Be open to discussions that can affect an important relationship. If you overreact, matters will not be resolved. You’ll discover a way to invest wisely in your future. Emotional matters will escalate quickly. Don’t overreact or put up with anyone using emotional tactics to push you to do something that isn’t right for yourself. Check out the job market locally and nationally, and you’ll find an opportunity that interests you.

PISCES

If something is bothering you share your feelings and find out where you stand and how best to make a positive change. Don’t let anyone give you a hard time. You don’t owe anyone anything, especially when it comes to unrealistic demands. Learn to say no. Don’t waste your time on trivial matters. You should be wheeling and dealing and putting your strategy and plans in motion. Stick close to home this weekend. Someone will take advantage of you emotionally if given the chance.
