GW sees your stars for the week

You know just what is necessary to get work done this week.

If you reach a stumbling block, stop and consult your intuition. The answer you get may surprise you, but don’t question it. Onlookers may think that your plans are perfectly crazy, but they’ll change their tune once they see the results. You may have to be forceful with people who don’t share your vision. In this case, it’s better to give sharp commands than persuasive pleas.

If you want something bad enough, you may have to do it in secret. Of course, in situations like these, you have to consider whether your actions will hurt innocent people. If they don’t, then you can feel justified in going ahead. In the event you are trying to justify bad behaviour, you have to change course. Think of what will happen if your actions come to light. Do you really want to sacrifice your reputation for the sake of your ego?

You’ve got wonderful instincts with regard to a group of people. Joining this organisation could help you move forward with a cherished plan. Although you usually like undertaking plans by yourself, this could be the exception to the rule. If someone has been making friendly overtures toward you, you’d be wise to invite this person out for a drink. The two of you may get along like strawberries and cream.

Your tremendous magnetism draws respect from every corner. There’s never been a better time to apply for a job or promotion. Going on an audition or performing in public is also highly favoured. You’ve got a movie star quality that also attracts romance. Don’t be surprised if people who never looked twice at you suddenly start following you like puppy dogs. Shrouding yourself in secrecy will make you an effective and powerful leader.

Putting your knowledge to good use will feel remarkably exhilarating. What you don’t realise is that you could be paid a handsome sum for your grasp of facts and figures. Whether you find work writing trivia questions or encyclopaedia entries is immaterial. The important thing is that you recognise your skills for what they are truly worth. Writing a blog is a great way to advertise your expertise.

It’s time to clear up any confusion regarding your finances. If you’ve entrusted your money with an accountant, go over the records with a fine toothed comb. Alternately, if your partner is in charge of your chequebook, review their expenditures. You don’t have to make bitter recriminations if you see something you don’t like, but you should assume a greater role in how these funds are spent. Follow an urge to save more and spend less.

You may have to make the first move with a shy romantic interest. Fortunately, that’s no problem for an amorous creature like you. If you’re already in a relationship, you may decide to get engaged or married. Renewing your vows is another possibility. If you’re looking for love, you could find it at a sporting event. It may be time to press a business associate to assume more responsibility.

Finding a job that draws on your creativity may be easier than you think this week. It’s just a matter of being persistent. Send your CV to any companies that you’d like to work for, and be sure to follow up with a phone call. Your prospective employer may not be aware that they need you in their organisation but once you show off your talents, you could be offered a lucrative role.

If you think someone has been looking at you in a romantic light, you’re probably right. This person admires your creativity, but may have a hard time approaching you. Of course, you’re not obliged to return this person’s affection, but it should give your ego a much needed boost. If you’re already in a relationship, this would be a good time to take up a hobby with your beloved.

Unrealistic expectations of your family could be causing a great deal of disappointment. After all, if a male relative has been cold and aloof his whole life, it’s hardly probable that he will greet your accomplishments with warmth and enthusiasm. Instead of working for his approval, find friends who are affectionate and loving. Their opinions will mean more than someone who seems intent on raining on your parade.

You know just what to say to motivate a daydreamer who has good ideas, but not a lot of initiative. Expressing doubt in the validity of their ideas could summon their anger, prompting him to go above and beyond the call of duty. By the time the project is finished, everyone will be impressed. This would be a good week to mend broken fences with a loved one or neighbour. Be prepared to apologise for hurtful remarks.

Push extra hard to get a financial matter through this week. Now is not the time to take your foot off the gas pedal. If someone is going away on vacation, insist that he or she gives you an answer before leaving. Postponing this decision will only weaken your position. Business deals related to iron, steel and heavy equipment are especially favoured at this time. Your instincts about an offbeat man are right on target.
