GW sees your stars for the week

A child may try to emotionally blackmail you. Don’t be swayed by their teary pleas.

You’ll have to move like lightning to take advantage of an unusual financial opportunity. The competition will be fierce. Friends may not be as supportive as you would like, but try not to take their scepticism to heart. This happens to be a very good week for romance. A person with a melodious voice could catch your fancy. A career matter will finally be resolved.

Don’t ignore your feelings when it comes to pursuing your career. You can’t afford to go against your ethics now, even if it means that you’ll lose a promotion. An angry outburst is very out of character for you. Perhaps this is a sign that you have been trying to reconcile yourself to an unhealthy environment. Obey your urge to go your own way. Family members will be very sympathetic this week; lean on them for support.

You may need to rebel in order to protect your privacy. Somebody who thinks he can poke his nose into your business needs to be set straight. Resist the urge to promote your religious or political beliefs in mixed company, or you could unwittingly offend someone. If you’re looking for love, you could find it at a house of worship or cultural institution. Paying off a debt comes as a relief. Now you can focus on saving money for the future.

Beware of spending money that you don’t have this week, or you could come to regret it. You’re better off living within your means, even if it requires a few personal sacrifices. Aligning yourself with an unusual group helps you to move forward with a daring plan. Don’t bother to go by the book with these rebels. The object of your affection may not return your feelings. Resist the urge to double your efforts. A strategic retreat may be in order.

Do your best to take on your fair share of responsibilities this week, or you could be accused of laziness. You may not realise it, but a business or romantic partner is beginning to chafe under the weight of the work you’ve created. If you’re going to enjoy an equal partnership, you’ve got to pull your weight. In the event you are single, you may want to become more attentive to the needs of others, just as a means to attract romance.

Overindulging in food or drink could be taking a toll on your spirits. Treat your body with the respect and compassion it deserves, and you’ll feel much better equipped to deal with personal challenges. A marvellous opportunity to travel to an exotic country should be seized. There may be an element of danger involved, which makes this trip even more exciting. Trust your intuition when it comes to fulfilling your partner’s sexual needs. Your instincts will be right on target.

Spending too much time with your friends could disrupt your relationship with a lover or child. Work to strike a better balance. A heated sexual encounter comes as a delightful surprise. Keep in mind, though, that love and sex may not be synonymous for your partner. If you’re looking for a serious relationship, head for an art gallery, theatre or even a museum, where you could meet someone totally surprising and sexy. A domestic matter finally comes to your fruition, much to your relief.

Flattering an authority figure will make you feel slightly sick inside. It may be better to preserve your dignity and remain silent. An explosive encounter with a business or romantic partner gives you a sexual charge. Maybe this is a sign you need to be more aggressive about getting your desires met. Don’t let an emotional man ruin your good mood this week; this guy isn’t worth the energy. A lovely work assignment boosts your reputation as a powerful creative force.

Resist the urge to pretend you know more about a subject than you really do or you could be exposed as a liar. A sudden shake up at work could force you to assume some unfamiliar duties. Fortunately, you take to these tasks like a duck to water. Your inventive instincts will come in very handy here. A long awaited cheque or bonus could finally make its way into your bank account. Put this money toward a trip or a class.

Trying to buy someone’s affection will be an exercise in disaster. Look elsewhere for love, or your heart and bank account will be broken. Fortunately, you could be thrown together with someone totally unexpected who arouses your interest. Don’t be surprised if romantic sparks start to fly. If you’re looking for a home, this would be an excellent week to search. You could find a place that beautifully expresses your personality. The end of the week is a good time to sign legal documents.

Giving a business or romantic partner a free hand may not be a good idea. They could take advantage of your generous nature, making you feel victimised and foolish. It’s better to establish some firm ground rules for this person to follow. A heated outburst could take your entire family by surprise. Don’t let pride get in the way of making a sincere apology. Take a loved one’s encouragement to heart. Their suggestion to take some time off is a very good one.

Take on your fair share of work this week, or you could make some enemies at work. You can’t let the team down now, when it needs you most. A neighbour or sibling’s emotional outburst makes you aware of angry feelings. A heart to heart talk is long overdue. You may not get the privacy you need this week, which really wears on your nerves. Fortunately, a loved one senses your distress, and will work to make life a little easier for you.
