Aries

It’s not like you to put things off but you instinctively know that now isn’t the right time to act. You’re keen to start building or decorating the house and it’s not the cost holding you back. Follow your hunch that something is in the pipeline and will become a future priority. A child’s pride is hurt so give lots of praise and talk it all through.   

Taurus

You’re an oasis of calm compared to what’s happening around you, especially if a partner’s work is melodramatic and you get involved. His or her bosses could behave badly but responding with guns blazing is no solution. Gather information, exchange experiences with others and you’ll bring a truth to light. A family celebration brings relatives from overseas and an uncle has an opportunity for you to prosper.  

Gemini

You’re an open book, Gemini, and love to gossip but mum’s the word if someone confides a secret. Whether it’s medical or money, things may not be as difficult as they seem. Help to find the best way forward, especially if swapping people or treatments would help.  A legal document needs a signature but why hesitate? If you know it has to be done, just do it.  

Cancer

You care more about home and family than you do about money and possessions but family heirlooms or jewellery really matter. A silver or ruby gift you receive doesn’t have high market value but emotionally it’s priceless. Kids are also priceless but their day to day needs are so costly! Day trips, amusements, school uniforms, on and on. Stash some cash away, though, for yourself. 

Leo

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEO – You love summer sun and fun and with larger-than-life Jupiter in your sign there’s no way you’ll miss the BBQ and drinks at sunset. Yet today there’s a complicated family or housing issue that’s not easily solved if someone is his or her own worst enemy. A partner’s solution isn’t ideal but it’s the best option. A wedding invite is a big surprise. 

Virgo

Someone else seems to have all the fun while your planet Mercury is travelling through your prison zone! You often take on other people’s burdens and you’re so good at looking after them, you forget to look after yourself. Enough is enough so move positively to arrange some get-togethers with friends. There’s a brilliant time to be had with an ex you used to go swimming with.  

Libra

You’re feeling strong in yourself and are pre-occupied with several projects and people but if you still feel too much alone, make time to find out more about an activity that intrigues you. Joining a theatrical group does wonders for your confidence and leads to new friendships. Money is a groan and if you know you’re being underpaid, have the courage to ask for more.

Scorpio

It’s not like you to put things off but you instinctively know that now isn’t the right time to act. You’re keen to start building or decorating the house and it’s not the cost holding you back. Follow your hunch that something is in the pipeline and will become a future priority. A child’s pride is hurt so give lots of praise and talk it all through.   

Sagittarius

Your Sagittarius nature is so open, friends know that what they see is what they get and it’s hard for you to understand someone elusive and secretive. If it’s someone you work with, confiding in a colleague gives you some clues. If it’s a love interest, think twice about getting involved with mysteries and mind games. Plans to buy or rent overseas get complicated so rethink options.  

Capricorn

Sometimes your natural reserve isn’t sure how to handle someone who’s upset but you’re right to think that a friend is over-reacting about his or her love-life. There’s also too much information you’d rather not hear! Avoid a chatty meal out together and take in a movie or concert instead. Encourage a partner to be more pro-active in finding work or making contact with a specialist.  

Aquarius

There’s a power game at work but use your Aquarian cool to keep away from it if unpleasant things are said. At home or in your neighbourhood, water and plumbing play up and noisy digging and drilling are irritating. The blokes doing it are upbeat, though, and you might even fancy one of them! Health-wise, whatever your ailments, fancy gym equipment isn’t essential. Just go for longer walks.  

Pisces

You’ve always respected the supernatural and your spiritual Piscean nature picks up on anything fake, so if you’re suspicious of anything esoteric now, stay clear. At work an apprentice is a godsend and showing him or her the ropes is a pleasure. If only your own kids would listen to you as seriously! Try to get them out of the house and into something sporty, especially water sports.
