GW sees your stars for the week

Your writing talent will be especially strong this week.

This is a wonderful time to pen a short story, love letter, or first chapter. A friend’s enthusiasm lets you know that this project is worth developing. Your idealism wins people’s confidence. Don’t be surprised if you’re asked to take the helm of a spiritual organisation or bureaucracy. Resist the urge to coddle a young person. This kid needs to learn responsibility if he or she is going to succeed.

This is an ideal week to deal with business and financial affairs. You’re able to come up with inventive ways to turn a profit. Your hard work and determination win the respect of your colleagues. Ask your boss for a raise; you’ve certainly earned one. An angry outburst at a female relative may be inevitable. You’ve tried the soft approach with her, and she just doesn’t seem to be getting the message. Perhaps more forceful attitude will make an impression.

Honesty and integrity are integral to your success. It’s better to promise less and deliver more than the other way around. You could have a meeting of the minds with an older person who can help you develop your artistic talent. Beware of blurting out a woman’s secret, or you could do permanent damage to your relationship. Moneymaking ideas abound between now and mid-May. You may even decide to open your own business or patent an invention. The sky is the limit.

Spending quality time with a loved one makes this a blissful week. The two of you would rather share a quiet candlelit dinner than head out to a loud, rollicking party. Working behind the scenes also has its benefits. Your humble attitude makes a big impression on an authority figure. Watch your spending. Expensive luxuries may be more trouble than they are worth. You may feel compelled to compete with a wealthy friend. A tense argument with this person could feel wonderfully liberating.

Surrounding yourself with original and inventive people makes your life much easier. Ask friends for help with errands if you’re overwhelmed. Working as a team will draw you even closer together. It’s even possible that a platonic relationship could blossom into a romance. The two of you may share a love of travel. Don’t try to butter a superior up with a lot of false praise. He’ll see through the tactic and make you pay for it with extra work.

Use your leadership skills to get a pay raise, promotion, or both. A person with your abilities deserves a better pay scale. Fortunately, this week presents a marvellous opportunity to get what you are worth. Improved work assignments could be part of the package, too. An insurance settlement, tax refund, or inheritance can be yours, provided you’re willing to fill out a little extra paperwork. Avoid discussing sensitive topics like religion and politics or you could do irreparable damage to a friendship.

A love of learning can take you out of your comfort zone. Your hard work and dedication causes your star to rise. People can’t help but respect your diligence. Don’t be surprised if someone starts throwing flirtatious glances in your direction. If you’re already in a relationship, be sure to reserve some romantic time with your lover. Be sensitive to your partner’s sexual needs. It may be difficult to withstand peer pressure this week, but you need to strengthen your resolve.

Crafting a strategy to seduce the object of your affection could be very successful. Take careful note of your beloved’s tastes and attitudes. If you’re stumped for ideas on how to approach this person, ask an experienced friend for suggestions. Summoning your nurturing instincts is probably a good idea. If you feel stressed, a spa treatment is in order. Go ahead and spend a little extra money on a massage or hot stone treatment. A series of trips could occur between now and mid May.

Working with a partner yields impressive results, whether it’s creating a report for work or throwing a party for friends. Your love life is electric with excitement, thanks to a dreamy amour who seeks to make your dreams come true. Beware of exchanging angry words with a colleague, no matter how annoying he is. You can’t afford to make enemies now. If you’re the target of this guy’s abuse, demand an apology and then move on. You can’t cling to grudges.

Specialised knowledge and skills helps you move up the ladder of success. Increased prestige and more money could be in the cards for you this week. Let your family lavish you with praise; you’ve certainly earned it! A sexual relationship could be showing signs of strain. Your ideas about commitment may not match those of your partner. Try not to let this difference of opinion tear you apart. Use your powers of persuasion to change your beloved’s mind. Fighting breeds resentment.

Expressing yourself in a forceful, dramatic way wins you lots of admirers. A cosmopolitan person is especially intent on winning your heart. Don’t be surprised if you receive a beautiful poem or moving love letter. A relative may try to discourage you from pursuing this relationship, which makes your really angry. Your privacy is very important to you. Keep maintaining a firm barrier between your personal and public lives. Fortunately, you can be very intimidating when you want to be.

Investigating your ancestry can be really rewarding this week. You could turn up all sorts of surprising information about your family, some of which will explain some bewildering trends. Starting a savings account, writing a will, or taking out an insurance policy is highly favoured. It’s vitally important to create financial security for the long term future. Beware of overindulging on food or drink, or your health could suffer. You’ll have much more time for hobbies between now and mid-May.
