Your Stars for the week

Aquarius Jan 28 - Feb 18 An interest in the subconscious could prompt you to undergo analysis or read books on the subject. You always thought that there is more to life than meets the eye. Once you start to understand your hidden motivations, it will be much easier to fulfil your creative potential. Taking up a sport could prove stimulating this week. You need a healthy outlet for your pent up energies, but you'd be wise not to push yourself too hard during the early stages.

PISCES FEB 19 - Mar 20

Working on developing your unexplored skills and talents is a great idea this week. There's a lot more to you than meets the eye. In the past, you've been modest about your accomplishments, preferring to pursue certain subjects as a hobby or altruistic endeavour. The idea of making money from them feels a little odd but you should think closely about it now. A newcomer at work or in your neighbourhood will give you all the encouragement you need.

Aries Mar 21 - Apr 19

A friendship with someone creative or artistic could persuade you to try your hand at painting, pottery or writing. Stop telling yourself you have no imagination. You can develop incredible, innovative techniques if you take the time to practice. Be up front and honest if you aim to make a breakthrough with anyone trying to push you into a decision you don't want to make. A short trip to see a male friend could be in the cards this week.

Taurus Apr 20 - May 20

Trust your intuition when it comes to a professional matter. Your ability to spot future trends and styles is the secret to your success. If you're thinking of changing industries, this would be a good week to make the leap. Glamorous industries like film, fashion, and the media are worth exploring. If you're unhappy with the cash initially offered, press for more. Your would be employer knows your skills are highly marketable and should value them accordingly.

Gemini May 21 - June 20

An interest in religious lore or foreign practices could prompt you to step out of your comfort zone. Travelling overseas or reading and study will only fuel your curiosity for this topic. Don't be surprised if you make contact with a respected expert in this field. You'll admire their depth and breadth of knowledge, while they'll enjoy your upbeat enthusiasm. A romance could be in the works here. You'll have to take the initiative, since you're more daring.

Cancer Jun 21 - Jul 22

A romantic relationship helps you look at life through rose-coloured glasses. People and situations that once bothered you now seem relatively harmless. It's as though your amour can read your thoughts. If you're single, you could meet someone special at a photography exhibit, movie, or dance club. You're strongly attracted to someone who has their own individual sense of style. Working behind the scenes may be more profitable than taking on a prominent position.

Leo Jul 23 - Aug 22

You have a tendency to put a loved one on a pedestal this week. In your eyes, this person can do no wrong. Although your faith in them is touching, it can lead to trouble. Take care you don't set this relationship up for failure. By recognising and accepting their shortcomings, they'll be less scared of letting you down. Single? It may be because you have unrealistic expectations of love. A brash friend could set you straight on this subject. Listen to his words of wisdom.

Virgo Aug 23 - Sep 22

Creative work connected with art, music, entertainment, or psychology is good for you this week. Instead of relying on logic, let intuition be your guide. In the past, you've put little emphasis on your instincts, preferring to rely solely on your brainpower. Don't analyse things to death. Moving forward as though obstacles don't exist brings exciting breakthroughs. An influential individual has faith in you, and may want you to take a promotion. You will rise to this challenge.

Libra Sep 23 - Oct 22

An idyllic romance puts a spring in your step. There's no better morale booster than falling in love. If you're in a committed relationship, take a second honeymoon. Reconnecting with your passion packed past is just what the doctor ordered. Taking up a spiritual or philosophical pursuit could prove rewarding. You're not the type of person who can live on bread and water alone. Intellectual stimulation is as essential as food and drink to you so boost your brainpower now.

Scorpio Oct 23 - Nov 21

Your home and family could be a welcome retreat this week. You're eager for a break and working from your own house lets you slow your pace and spend more time with your nearest and dearest. If you are struggling to make ends meet you should cast around for a new way forward and check out an unorthodox or innovative way to make savings and boost your bank balance. Someone close has a wacky plan that's not so daft as it might appear at first sight.

Sagittarius Nov 22 - Dec 21

You could hear intriguing news about a relative, neighbour, or friend. Taking a short trip to visit them would be a really great idea. You've always placed great value on your relationships. Making more time for your nearest and dearest will lift your spirits. If you're looking for love, you could find it at a park or sporting event. The object of your affection shares your love for the great outdoors, and may be animal lover to boot. No wonder you get along so well.

Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19

Finding imaginative ways to make money appeals to your sense of adventure. People who scoff at your ideas will soon be eating their words. You'll have to put in extra hours at the office, but that will be a small price to pay for the rewards that will eventually arrive. If your energy levels droop, it may be time to revise your health regimen. Improving your diet and increasing your aerobic activity will help you cope with the demanding days and nights ahead.
