Aries (Mar21/Apr20) You may be under the mistaken impression someone returns your affection. Base your impressions on their actions, rather than their words. If someone really cares for you, they'll go out of their way to spend time with you. Apologies and excuses are all well and good, but results are what matters. A youngster is making good progress at school. Arrange a special celebration for just the two of you. You may not realise it, but your opinion means a lot to this kid. Taurus (Apr21/May21) A bureaucratic matter you thought was settled will come back to haunt you. Gather as much paperwork as you can to prove your case, and keep a file of all the communications you have with government officials. You may have an unrealistic view of how well you're doing at work. If you're going to climb the ladder of success, you'll need to work harder and show more initiative. A few late nights at the office wouldn't hurt, either. Gemini (May22/Jun21) Someone will ask for your honest opinion, but giving it will get you in trouble. You're better off issuing a noncommittal response. A friend you haven't seen in years could pop back into your life quite unexpectedly. Expect some disruption to ensue. There's a reason it was difficult to maintain this alliance! Beware of spending money you don't have. Just because you can put purchases on a credit card doesn't mean you can afford them. Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) You need to confront an embarrassing incident from your past. Instead of denying this debacle ever occurred, admit it. Be ready to cite your accomplishments since this time. If you're calm and collected, an authority figure will be willing to give you a second chance. Don't go back on your principles if Cupid catches you unawares. If the two of you have radically different values, you'll have difficulty forging a healthy relationship. Wait for a better prospect. Leo (Jul24/Aug23) A legal matter you thought was settled will come back to haunt you. Be prepared to dig out some old documents. The more official documentation you have, the easier it will be to avoid trouble. Be sure to keep track of all of your receipts, especially if you buy any technical equipment. They'll be essential if you want a refund. Resist the urge to seduce someone into doing your bidding. You need to take a more honourable approach. Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) An unexpected expense puts a dent in your budget. You'll have to make some last minute adjustments to cover your bills. Resist the temptation to buy some new clothes and toiletries. You'll have plenty of opportunities to indulge your sensual side later in the month. Right now, you have to focus on keeping afloat. Helping a friend get a job will have unexpected benefits. Write a glowing letter of recommendation. Your word holds great weight with this organisation. Libra (Sep24/Oct23) An ex-lover will try to make contact with you again. Although it's tempting to rekindle your romance, don't do it. It took a long time to get over this relationship, and you don't want to have to undergo that agony again. Friends may give you bad advice regarding your love life; it's touching that they want you to be happy but they don't really know what you need to give you the happiness, contentment and fulfilment. Consult your own heart in this matter. Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) A technological breakdown will wreak havoc with your schedule. You'll have to schedule several appointments while your car, computer, or phone is repaired. Instead of dwelling on your frustrations, try relaxing. Relaxing in a scented bath with a good book will ease your anxieties. Pretty soon, you'll be wondering why you were so hell bent on staying busy. A promotion you thought you would get will be passed to someone else. Look elsewhere if you want to advance. Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Beware of overdoing it at the gym or on the sports field, or you could incur an injury. An energetic person like you likes vigorous activity, but it's better to limit yourself to gentle exercise like walking and swimming this week. A relative or neighbour will fall back on a promise. Have an alternate plan ready if you need to move some property or run some errands, or you'll be placed in a difficult situation. Forewarned is forearmed! Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Angry feelings you once thought subsided could come rushing back to the fore. You simply can't believe that a relative would be so reckless with valuable property. Let this be a lesson about trusting this rogue again. Just because they says they have turned over a new leaf doesn't mean they have. It's time to put some distance between the two of you. Be honest about your financial situation and avoid extravagant expenditures. Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Don't be so quick to fire off an angry email or text message. If you've been angered by a message, wait a day before giving your reply. It's possible something was lost in translation; it's hard to interpret someone's tone via the Internet. Putting a loved one on a pedestal will put undue pressure on a relationship. If your best friend or amour lets you down, give them a second chance. After all, you've made mistakes in the past, too. Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) A job that once brought in lots of money could dry up quite suddenly. You need to find a more steady way to earn money. Unfortunately, friends won't be very helpful in finding employment; you'll have to find a position on your own. Watching after people's children, animals, and pets can cover your bills. It may not be the most glamorous work, but it will keep you solvent. Advertise your services on a local website; you'll get several good responses.
