Aries (Mar21/Apr20) A friend will ask for a favour that you’re not willing to give. Be honest and direct. If your loved one takes offense, that’s their problem. Anyone who can’t accept your boundaries doesn’t have your best interests at heart. Get some distance from this relationship. An unexpected bill will arrive, shaking you to the core. Before going into full panic mode, take some deep breaths. Remember there is more to life than money. Count your blessings. The resources you need will arrive when you develop an attitude of gratitude.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) Moderation isn’t your strong suit. Beware of indulging in food and drink. Eating a series of small, nutritious repasts throughout the day is preferable than having a heavy breakfast, lunch or dinner. Choose fresh produce and lean protein over carbohydrates. A lack of opportunity in your field could cause you to reconsider your options. Moving into a rapidly growing industry will be a welcome challenge. Think about taking a course in computer coding. This could allow you to pick and choose some lucrative assignments.

Gemini (May22/Jun21) A slightly blinkered, backward-looking attitude is undermining your progress. Just because you disagree with someone’s beliefs doesn’t mean you can’t connect in other areas. Working with someone who has different views and values will be enlightening for both of you. Stop dwelling on your differences and look for common ground. Are you having difficulty sleeping? Establish a restful bedtime routine. Stay away from screens for a full hour before retiring. Listen to soothing music. Create a more comfortable sleeping environment. Soon, you’ll drift off into a deep slumber.

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Being put in charge of someone else’s finances is stressful. See if there is someone else who is willing to assume these responsibilities. You’ve already done your fair share of hard work. Give yourself the gift of freedom; there’s nothing particularly great about being a martyr. Don’t ask an unreliable friend to help you with an important task. It’s better to hire a professional to handle this job. If you’re not sure who to contact, ask for recommendations on social media.

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Resist the temptation to lash out at a loved one for your feelings. If you’re sad, angry or down in the doldrums, do something to lift your spirits. Watch a movie marathon. Listen to upbeat songs. Read a book that makes you laugh. Happiness is an inside job. There will be some unexpected changes at your place of employment. Someone in a powerful position could quit in a huff, creating a power vacuum. Think carefully whether you want this job before applying for it.

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) You’re bored at work. Looking for a more challenging position is worth your time. Spend a few moments reflecting on subjects that fascinate you. This will give you a good clue about where to apply for jobs. Contact companies involved with cutting-edge technology. The answers you seek can’t be found in a book, video or podcast. Look within for guidance. If you resent it when people thrive from doing the bare minimum, stop resenting them. Adopt their approach instead. You’ll have a big breakthrough.

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Don’t be too hard on someone younger who is misbehaving. They lack the experience and maturity to deal with problems in a constructive way. By inviting them to talk about what’s bothering them, you’ll earn their gratitude. It isn’t easy to put feelings into words. An unexpected late fee could be imposed on you. Contact the agency in question and ask for a reprieve. By talking to everyone in a respectful tone, you could get the mercy you seek. What goes around, comes around.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Achieving domestic security is difficult when you’re feeling blue. If you want to buy a home, relocate to another area or end a lease, give yourself a day of pleasure. You enjoy an antique fair, but have struggled to find a replacement activity online that brings you the same joy. If your romantic or business partner disagrees with your plans, stay calm. You’ll find common ground after having a heart to heart conversation. When you encounter resistance from your other half, don’t fight back. Take deep breaths and listen instead.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Interactions with a relative or neighbour will be strained. You want them to take responsibility for their inconsiderate behaviour, but they insist they’ve done nothing wrong. When you reach a stalemate like this, it’s wise to make a temporary retreat. Resist the temptation to binge on sugar, fat and alcohol. By giving your body the fresh produce and lean protein it needs to thrive, your mood will get better. At that point, you’ll hit upon a more effective way of solving this power struggle.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Clinging too tightly to money will make you miserable. It will also close you off from any future abundance that could be flowing into your life. Make a small donation to charity. When you remember how truly lucky you are, you’ll become magnetic to wealth. A child’s unusual behaviour is a ploy for attention. Rather than issuing stern punishments, try spending more quality time together. Arrange to do things that reflect their interests. Their outbursts will become things of the past.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Work is making you exhausted. It’s up to you to make healthier choices. By cutting back your professional responsibilities, your natural enthusiasm for life will return. If you keep accepting more assignments, you’ll suffer from burnout. Taking a break from working is strongly advised if you haven’t been furloughed. A family member’s erratic behaviour is making you angry. You’re tired of coming to this troublemaker’s rescue. The next time they demand your help, tell them to make other plans. Until they accept the consequences for their actions, your relative will continue to act out.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Are you lonely? Stop waiting for people to reach out to you. Introduce yourself to new people you come across on social media. Join a dating group. It can be difficult for a natural introvert like you to break the ice. You will get better with practice. Harsh feedback could throw you off balance. Try not to take these remarks personally. Frustrated artists often lash out at those who exercise their imaginations on a regular basis. You’re not the object of their contempt; you’re the source of their envy.
