Be ready to respond to a friend or loved one in some kind of emotional crisis. You make it look easy but when you step up, their stress levels go down. READ MORE ON FABULOUS The next few weeks are important for your life plan. Whatever is starting to take shape in your head has huge creative potential. Keep going. TAURUS APR 21 – MAY 21 Most read in Fabulous You may have moments of feeling that you’re on the outside of life looking in, or that other people are putting you under too much pressure. Either way, some time out will allow you to find your own rhythm. Also, getting back to the absolute basics of what makes you happy, and what doesn’t, is the key to putting yourself in a good mood that will last longer than five minutes. GEMINI MAY 22 – JUNE 21 Your planet Mercury is on a go slow and reminding you to finish what you’ve started before taking on anything new. You also need to clear the decks of the things that you’ve been putting off. Make those appointments, book that health MOT if it’s overdue or learn how to do something for yourself that will save you time and money, in the future as well as now. CANCER JUNE 22 – JULY 22 Be aware of where you’ve slid back into old habits. Getting back into a routine that suits you will soon restore your energy and set you on the path to glowing good health. In terms of personal ambitions you’ll notice how real change starts with you and your approach. Remember to coach your kids to find their own solutions, rather than imposing your own. LEO JULY 23 – AUG 23 Certain family members need handling with care. Guard against voicing your own feelings and opinions too strongly and filter out what they don’t need to know. Home becomes a sanctuary when you focus on calm, and on getting organized. Tackle the overdue chores, and get the family to do the same. There’s something about being houseproud that brings out your best mood. VIRGO AUG 24 – SEPT 22 The best laid plans could unravel through no fault of your own but this changes circumstances for someone else. Explore the downside of an idea you’ve been mulling over. This isn’t about being negative, but about figuring out the chances of real success. There isn’t a Virgo breathing who doesn’t hate wasting time or money, and events at the end of the week could easily prove the point. LIBRA SEPT 23 – OCT 23 The Sun is on the homestretch through your sign. If there’s something that’s always in your “tomorrow” box then move it to the top of your to-do list and action it now, while you can grab those last moments in the spotlight. It’s also a good time to get serious about health and fitness. Try planning nutritious but easy meals ahead for the whole week and you’ll save time too. SCORPIO OCT 24 – NOV 22 Minor arguments can sometimes lead to major rifts, so it’s not worth making a mountain out of something trivial. Will it matter this time next week? Agree to disagree, and change the subject. Worrying about making the wrong choice or decision is a bit more serious but there’s still more info to come. For now think in terms of nudging something gently in the right direction. SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 – DEC 21 What you wanted earlier in the year probably bears no relation to what you want now. Delete the old wish list and start afresh. The message written in invisible ink though is not to make the same mistake twice, so be aware of repeating old patterns. Be open to new experiences and new friendships, but always follow your intuition. It sometimes borders on the psychic. CAPRICORN DEC 22 – JAN 20 Your reputation for being slow to embrace change is crumbling before your eyes. With the Sun heading into your hopes and wishes zone you’ll know what needs to change, and you can’t brush out the deadwood fast enough. Follow the laws of the universe to speed things up. Start by writing down your gratitudes, and you’ll attract more things to be grateful for. AQUARIUS JAN 21 – FEB 18 With the Moon in your sign at the beginning of the week you can start as you mean to go on. This includes speaking your needs, and taking steps to change the things that you no longer want or enjoy. If you’re in doubt about a decision write down the pros and cons. You’re such an expert list maker and the way ahead should then be immediately obvious. PISCES FEB 19 – MAR 20 You may have misjudged someone or vice versa but don’t let bad feelings take root. Resolve to set the record straight before the weekend, regardless of where you feel the fault lies. A friendship can survive distance better than indifference, so don’t put off contacting that special friend or relative who lives far away. Holiday plans for next year are also up for discussion.
