Aries

There are so many thoughts going round in your head that it can feel like information-overload at times. Don’t be surprised if you feel a need for some space to distance yourself from the activity of the world around you in order to get your head around what you are really feeling.

Taurus

To gain clarity on some issue or a confusing situation, you may need to spend some time alone and do some quiet thinking. Contention in the workplace will need careful handling. You could easily wade in guns blazing but you will achieve more by taking a more measured approach.

Gemini

Others are looking to you for leadership. When a new project or assignment comes up, people see you as a significant contributor. You will find ways to meet the needs of the team and they trust in your ideas and suggestions. Be on the lookout for new financial opportunities.

Cancer

Emotional lows are understandable when you’re going through a rough time. If you’ve been feeling stuck or let down by someone or circ*mstances have been difficult you will notice a slight improvement. You are feeling more hopeful as a spark starts to reignite within.

Leo

A relationship hasn’t been wonderful. You’re finding the strength now to forgive and move on. It may not be what you had been expecting but you will start to make faltering progress. You’re doing your best to be your best and currently, that’s all anyone can ask of you.

Virgo

It might feel as if you have taken a backward step. You were making progress and you did feel brighter and more hopeful but circ*mstances got in the way preventing you from getting ahead as you wanted to do. You now need to find another way to get to where you want to be.

Libra

Be prepared to work on relationships that really matter to you. An excellent chance will arise for you to achieve a special rapport with a partner in business or in romance. Discussions you had expected to be difficult will turn out to be surprisingly reassuring.

Scorpio

Change is sometimes said to be as good as a rest. Happenings around you might seem tough and unsettling but you will get through this. You wonder if anything is going to go your way. Stay positive and strong. Whatever challenges are ahead of you, there is a way to overcome these and you will find it.

Sagittarius

You won’t mind doing a friend a favour and you will do this out of the goodness of your heart. It might surprise you when they show their appreciation in a big way. It’s important to them that you don’t feel they are taking your kindness for granted.

Capricorn

Giving your home a makeover will fill you with delight. Fixing or replacing faulty equipment will inspire you to start on a home improvement project. A fresh start in the family is aligned with new beginnings in other areas. Team activities enhance your enjoyment of life.

Aquarius

Taking an independent stance will bring amazing results. People will try to persuade you to go along with their ideas and suggestions but you have made your own mind up. Nothing and no-one is going to sway you from your intentions.

Pisces

Think twice before making a bank transfer to pay for something advertised on a social networking site. When finances are being discussed and conversations are taken off-platform, alarm bells should sound to start. If you’re making a big purchase, research the seller.
