Horoscopes: Your stars for this week

CAPRICORN 22 Dec-20 Jan Whatever you think is wrong with your life is not as bad as you fear, and with Mars turning direct you’ll take a more positive view of the situation. Even Capricorns go through phases when their anxieties get the better of them. You’re emerging from such a phase now. CALL 0904 470 1170*

AQUARIUS 21 Jan-19 Feb You can make things happen this week. You have the power to turn even negative situations to your advantage. With Mars moving in your favour after ten weeks of retrograde motion you’ll soon be back to your best ‒ and that’s better than most people’s. CALL 0904 470 1171* 

PISCES 20 Feb-20 March Do what other people expect of you, even if it means putting your own plans on hold. On the home front, especially, go out of your way to make sure loved ones are given all the encouragement they need – and it may be a lot. Inspire them with praise. CALL 0904 470 1172* 

ARIES 21 March-20 April An unpleasant fact that you’ve been hiding for a while will resurface and this time you won’t be able to ignore it. What you can do, of course, is deal with it – in fact, if you’d dealt with it when you first had the chance it wouldn’t be bothering you now. CALL 0904 470 1161* 

Joely Richardson, a Capricorn, will be 58 tomorrow. Even Capricorns go through phases when their anxieties get the better of them

TAURUS 21 April-21 May Something that occurs this week will be so unexpected that it will astound you. Most likely a money issue you thought was resolved – and probably not in your favour – will be up in the air again and if you move fast you can make sure you benefit the most. CALL 0904 470 1162* 

GEMINI 22 May-21 June You know there are no shortcuts, that you must work for what you get out of life. Fortunately, with Mars in your sign, you have the guts, energy and ambition to reach the top of any ladder you are trying to climb. Make an extra effort this week: it will be worth it. CALL 0904 470 1163* 

CANCER 22 June-23 July Something that made no sense last week will make perfect sense this week. Nothing has changed apart from your way of looking at it – possibly because circumstances beyond your control forced you to see it from a new angle. Never think you know it all. CALL 0904 470 1164* 

LEO 24 July-23 Aug It can be a mistake to protect others from the consequences of their actions. What happens now will convince you that, as far as one such individual is concerned, it would be best for them, and you, to let them get on with it. Just be ready to pick up the pieces. CALL 0904 470 1165* 

VIRGO 24 Aug-23 Sept Cosmic forces at the midheaven angle of your chart will turn your preconceived notions about certain people on their head. The good news is that you can forge a new understanding, maybe even an alliance, with someone you may not have got on with in the past. CALL 0904 470 1166* 

LIBRA 24 Sept-23 Oct No one has the right to tell you what to believe or not to believe and if they try you must make it clear their input is not welcome. That said, something you used to believe in may no longer seem so certain. Be flexible enough to consider other explanations. CALL 0904 470 1167* 

SCORPIO 24 Oct-22 Nov It may seem a coincidence that you and someone else decided to do the same thing at the same time in the same place, but it’s more than that: it’s a nudge from above that the two of you should be joining forces. Together you’ll do something remarkable. CALL 0904 470 1168* 

SAGITTARIUS 23 Nov-21 Dec You won’t be allowed a behind-the-scenes role. Something will happen that thrusts you centre stage and, like it or not, you’ll have to put on a show. There may be those who say you don’t have what it takes to be a star, but they’re the ones you’ll be proving wrong. CALL 0904 470 1169*
