Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Do you yearn for intimacy? Be attentive and courteous to the object of your affection. Discover their hobbies, tastes and dislikes. Look for opportunities to relieve them of chores or perform small kindnesses. Your thoughtful behaviour will make a good impression. An interest in religion, philosophy or education will prompt you to take an advanced course. The more you learn about this fascinating subject, the more deeply you will be convinced that this is your life’s calling. Prepare to make a professional change.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) The fastest way to your heart is through your brain. Anyone who talks intelligently about your favourite subjects attracts your interest. If someone offers to teach you how to make bread, furniture or pottery, you should accept. What begins as friendship will turn into love. Money from an inheritance, refund or legal settlement will be delayed. Breathe deep and stay calm. Your windfall will arrive when you need it most. Meanwhile, find another source of income to cover your bills.

Gemini (May22/Jun21) You’re highly affectionate. Lavishing your loved ones with playful notes, gifts and hugs comes naturally to you. Someone who has been starved for attention will be especially receptive to your attention. Thanks to you, this wilted plant will burst into flower. Resist the temptation to enter a professional partnership. Someone who assures you that you will have free rein is not telling the truth. By joining forces, you will be severely limited as to what you can and cannot do. Maintain your freedom.

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Creating a comfortable, beautiful home is your priority. Take advantage of a sale on furniture, artwork or housewares. You’ll find some marvellous deals on things that are both practical and beautiful. Spend a little more than usual; these purchases will bring years of pleasure. Don’t take your position at work for granted. Although your employer appreciates your contributions, you are still expected to attend staff meetings and fill out reports. Neglecting these duties will create unnecessary problems. Toe the line.

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Your powers of persuasion are strong. If you’re going to win support, base your arguments on logic, not passion. Cite facts and figures from a reliable source. Nobody will be able to argue with these points. You’ll get the necessary funds for a business venture. If the object of your affection isn’t interested in pursuing a romance, don’t press the matter. Showing respect for their boundaries will ease any awkwardness between you. Channel your energy into activities that give you joy. The love you seek is around the corner.

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) You will not yield to pressure, especially when it comes to financial matters. When shopping for something expensive, you’ll take your time and ask lots of question. A pushy salesperson won’t make any headway. You’ll bide your time until you find just what you want. It’s hard to feel motivated about work. Leaving your comfortable home will be wrenching. You’d much prefer to run a business from inside your own four walls. This could be a sign that working from home might be a better option for you. Such a dream isn’t as far-fetched as you think.

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) You know exactly what you want and aren’t shy about getting it. Usually, you’re polite and deferential. Now you’ll elbow anyone out of the way to get to the front of the queue. Don’t apologise. When you want something this much, it’s meant to be. Just because someone lacks a formal education does not mean they are stupid. On the contrary, this newcomer is well-versed on an important subject. Instead of snubbing their offers of help, accept them with gratitude.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Spending more time by yourself is a priority. Although you love your friends and family, they can get on your nerves. Solitary pursuits like reading, writing and praying recharge your batteries. They also give you a clear idea of where you want to go. Resist the temptation to indulge in retail therapy. Anything you buy now will quickly lose its charm. There will be a better time to splash out on luxuries. Right now, you should focus on being resourceful.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Working with a group boosts your productivity. You enjoy brainstorming with people who share your desire for a better future. Instead of preserving time honoured tradition, you’re eager to break new ground. Create a more equitable system that helps underserved members of the community. Don’t overestimate your abilities. A big job is too much for one person to handle. If you’re going to accept this assignment, you will need help. Talk to a detail-oriented Gemini or Virgo about serving as your assistant.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) You’ve always been motivated by the prospect of success. Applying for a new position with more authority and responsibility is well worth thinking about. Although you don’t have as much experience as some of your competitors, your leadership skills are much stronger. This will be evident on the job interview, when you project confidence and authority. When you’re not striving to get ahead, you should make time for spiritual pursuits. Connecting with your higher power relieves stress and keeps everything in perspective. When you are content, career success is icing on the cake.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) The prospect of exploring the unknown fills you with excitement. This is a wonderful time to take a long-distance trip or delve into an ambitious research project. The secret to your success is an ability to put your assumptions aside, bringing about big breakthroughs. Going to a big party will be lots of fun. You’ll enjoy catching up with a smart friend who makes you laugh. If you’ve never looked at them in a romantic light, that could change. In many ways, you’re well suited to one another.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Overpowering desires will drive you into the arms of a passionate admirer. Be clear about your intentions. If you don’t want to get serious, say so. What seems like a fling to you could be interpreted differently. You’re something of a heartbreaker. Professional advancement is in the cards. An employer is willing to pay you a good salary for your expertise. Don’t be shy about asking for more money if you don’t think their original offer is enough. You’re worth it.
