Horoscopes
Aries: We can’t relive the past, and the future is an unfulfilled promise. That leaves the here and now, which you have infinitely more control over. And the keyword here is control. It’s pretty well up to you now to take charge. Some Arians, like cricketer Michael Clarke are reveling in that opportunity. But if you’re too dependent upon others, you may not be getting the results you desire. The answer lies in your own desire to make it happen.
Taurus: Do you, or don’t you? Taking a chance means risking security. But when you really think about it, initiative was how you got secure in the first place. You may be balking at something that to present a few challenges. But times change, and momentum can expand like a rolling snowball. Those born right at the start of the sign should take particular note.
Gemini: When life gets serious you eliminate what doesn’t work and analyze what is holding you back. Birthdays around May 23 may be experiencing a crisis of confidence, but this can be coming through circumstance or those around you. Sometimes the least done the better, trying too much now can be counterproductive and exhaust your resources. Let time be your counsel.
Cancer: Your attention may be turned inward to home and security early this week. Best to attend those domestic responsibilities, before you get distracted by more social activities on the agenda. June born Cancers will gel well with pleasure planet Venus from the 17th onward. But it’s when your ruling Moon moves into your relationship zone at the week’s end that relationships really start to shine.
Leo: You tell a horse it ought to – but you can’t make them think. Yes I know it’s really drink, but this is not about water boarding or brainwashing. More that it frustrates you when you see those you care for go against all logic, and continue to walk the plank. If it’s entirely of their making, worry won’t solve the problem. That would be casting a dark cloud over an otherwise sunny week.
Virgo: Agreeable Venus now moves through your partnership zone, breaking through barriers with others, to discover mutual accord. Harmony and love through others, and the opportunity to solve differences is the result. You easily espouse your values now, and a decision around expenditure on self-improvement may be right around the corner. Early sign Virgos pick up easy on this, and the mid September born are finding their voice.
Libra: You always build a house from the bottom up, which parallels what you’re experiencing now. The new year calls for fresh plans and you’re to starting at ground level on something important. Keep what you value, trust, or know that works. Paying attention to your own security, or hedging bets until you’re sure about something is the wise thing to do. Events that happened around your own birthday may be playing a role.
Scorpio: The harder you try and remember the forgotten name the further away it gets. It’s like trying to grab a handful of water, pressure works against you. If something is affecting you like that perhaps it’s an idea to give yourself a break. Communication can hit the wall by trying too hard, or maybe its time to go right back to basics. At times like this, actions do speak much louder than words.
Sagittarius: It takes a real person to freely admit when they are wrong, and an even bigger one to keep the lid on it when they are right. But playing your cards close to your chest may be the wise option. Broadcasting your ideas to others now, or being too trusting with knowledge can backfire. The world is filled with predators, and you need to occasionally remind yourself of the ‘survival of the fittest’ philosophy.
Capricorn: Your ruling planet Saturn has moved into a critical degree in your career zone. Status is all-important at his point, and you may have to make some significant decisions concerning what you want to do work wise. Tuesday onward is crunch time connected to professional plans and decisions of finality. Expect, and be ready early, for a little more attention than usual this week.
Aquarius: Discrimination is your keyword now, when others may be less than forthcoming. There are some ‘love and lighters’ around you who may as well be communicating on another planet. Escapism is fine for artistic purposes, but their avoidance is something else altogether. Keeping your own feet on the ground may mean cutting the cords of the balloon heads around you. But for birthdays around Feb 18 some dreams can well be coming true.
Pisces: Friendship is all about give and take. But you can be finding that friends are a liability as well as an asset. The frustrating part is that sometimes their lack of co-operation makes you question the loyalty. If that’s the case then it may be necessary to draw some lines in the sand. Responsibility, theirs and yours, is at the base of this. As long as the lines of demarcation are drawn, and debts are settled, then you’re on the right road.
