Couple embracing the zodiac

Aries

Planning ahead and preparation can help you overcome problems you are now experiencing. Being prepared for blips gives you a chance to have contingency plans in place. When obstacles do arise, do what it takes to go with the flow.

Taurus

If you’re learning new skills or starting a complicated course of study and there is something you don’t understand, speak up. If you keep struggling on alone hoping things will click, your peers will leave you behind. Don’t hide in the background. Step forward and ask plenty of questions.

Gemini

A workmate or neighbour is acting with no thought for anyone but themselves. You have a reputation for being a good mediator. People respect your logical stance when helping to resolve conflict. Even so, it won’t be easy to persuade someone to put their selfish desires aside to think in terms of the community.

Cancer

It would be better to face up to problems than to bury your head in the sand. Whether it is financial or business fears that are weighing on your mind, doing nothing is not going to make problems go away. If you feel overwhelmed, talk to a professional.

Leo

If you aren’t happy in your job or you don’t feel appreciated in work you do on a voluntary basis, the time has come to look for something new. Even if it means attending a number of interviews, it will be worth it if you land a plum position. Keep paperwork up to date.

Virgo

You want to feel you can be of practical use to others. Whatever you are working on, you want it to be a good use of your time. A positive frame of mind helps you make the most of whatever you have to deal with. Any problems encountered will be turned into learning experiences.

Signs of the zodiac

Libra

A friend or partner has commitment issues. You have already given so much to this relationship but you are starting to realise you both have different expectations. There is an emotional imbalance that suggests the other party has work to do on themselves before they can commit fully to another person.

Scorpio

If you’re thinking of relocating, check with a local estate agent. You will be the first to hear of a great property that has just come on the market. This could be your chance to make a fresh start. A change connected with your family, home or residence will make you excited about the future.

Sagittarius

Clear away financial obligations before splashing out on expensive baubles. Getting control of your financial situation is vital if you are to feel in charge of your life. The more debt that has accumulated, the more likely it is you will have to work overtime and the less time you will have for favourite activities.

Hands clasping the zodiac

Capricorn

You can express yourself more freely when you are with your family than you can anywhere else. When spending time with loved ones, you feel more able to talk your thoughts out loud without having to watch what you say. A heart to heart conversation will restore emotional ties.

Aquarius

You need answers. You’re waiting for someone to contact you and nothing seems to be moving very quickly. You can’t force things to happen when the time is not right. Take it one moment at a time and keep a hold of those hopes that things will work out as you want them to be.

Pisces

You’re seriously considering taking on new commitments. Your boss or others in high places will be encouraging you to accept this chance to better yourself. If others have confidence in you, you should have faith in yourself too. This is your chance to take on an impressive assignment.
