Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 20)

There is something on your mind. You prefer not to let other people know what is troubling you. Yet someone who doesn’t know you well seems to sense you are worried. Even if you tried to explain, they would not understand or they might expose your personal business to others.

Taurus (Apr 21 - May 21)

You don’t want to look suspicious but you can’t help feeling as if someone is trying to hide something from you. You could always ask them directly or you might think of a more discreet way to discover what is going on. The decision is yours.

Gemini (May 22 - June 21)

Try not to worry too much if things are a bit tense in the home. The best thing you can do is take yourself away from the scene altogether. There are plenty of other places where you will receive a warm welcome.

Cancer (June 22 - July 23)

You won’t object to having to reschedule previously made plans for the day when something more exciting comes along. You are about to receive an exciting offer. If this means pushing aside responsibilities, you will make up for this later. A neighbour will tell you something intriguing.

Leo (July 24 - Aug 23)

You have recently had some important decisions to make. This has left you feeling mentally exhausted. Any uncertainty about whether you are making the right choices will soon ease as you regain a sense of control over your emotions.

Virgo (Aug 24 - Sept 23)

Time will fly by when everyone is having fun. Even in the workplace, a cheerful atmosphere exists. This makes difficult tasks more attractive than usual. New challenges are just what you need to stay interested and occupied and it doesn’t matter if your professional life does happen to be hectic.

Libra (Sept 24 - Oct 23)

Be patient. If a difficult job or complex task isn’t going as well as you had hoped or expected, keep going. Perseverance and persistence will lead you to success whereas if you give up as you may be thinking of doing, all this will do is leave you disappointed.

Scorpio (Oct 24 - Nov 22)

You won’t say no to the opportunity to get on with some private interests without any distractions or interruptions. A boisterous colleague will be conspicuous by their absence, enabling you to work quietly. You will do more in one day than you have done in the past few weeks.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 21)

A friend will loudly express their annoyance about not having been able to reach you when they needed you. You can’t help feeling slightly guilty as you could have given the help they were looking for. At the same time, maybe it’s time they became less dependent on others.

Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 20)

Plans to make a start on a home related project will get the full approval of your housemates. Everyone will be keen to use your ideas and suggestions. Indeed, you could find yourself accepting full responsibility for the tasks in hand.

Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 19)

If your days have been feeling dull, people who are now making their way into your life will be introducing you to new interests. A new friend’s vibrant energy will help lift an oppressive atmosphere that has been hanging over your immediate surroundings.

Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 20)

You had been so keen to get involved in a group project but now the time has arrived, you find it hard to get motivated. If you’re feeling pressured to go out when you would rather stay in, you don’t have to explain to anyone why you have decided to relax at home instead.
