Your HOROSCOPE

GEMINI

Portrait of Tammy Strobel

22 MAY – 21 JUNE

Rather than panic about the value of investments or property, try to remain philosophical. Things should become clearer during the last 10 days or so of the month, when you’re privy to facts and figures to which you haven’t previously had access. Look forward to feeling sufficiently well informed to make crucial decisions.

CANCER

22 JUNE – 23 JULY

At first, you may not feel able to show yourself flat your best when you find you’re centre stage. However, the solar eclipse in your sign will give you the impetus to prove to the world that you’re ready to take the lead. Anylast-minute performance anxiety is merely part of the process.

LEO

24 JULY – 23 AUGUST

Reluctant though you may be to take control of responsibilities that fall under someone else’s remit, you’ll be asked for help. While it’s perfectly  fine to lend a hand, be sure not to be so keen to please that you end up running the whole show. You must not exhaust yourself; nordo you want to be perceived as overlycontrolling.

VIRGO

24 AUGUST – 23 SEPTEMBER

New-found enthusiasm for an artistic, creative or romantic venture is boosted by a Jupiter-Pluto connection late this month. But listen to those warning you to keep a close watch on budgets and deadlines. And don’t be surprised if unexpected developments cause you to redesign your original idea. It can still be made to work.

LIBRA

24 SEPTEMBER – 23 OCTOBER

Interruptions to an important scheme might catch you offguard, but eventually, a certain individual will be able to shed light on what’s going on and help you catch up on any lost time. Just don’t anticipate excellence. Be prepared to accept something that’s good enough rather than perfect, and ignore the odd little flaw.

SCORPIO

24 OCTOBER – 22 NOVEMBER

Unusual calls or encounters will  fire your imagination. Before  finalising plans, make sure that whoever else is involved knows what is expected of them. There could come a point at which you’re ready and equipped to deal with the most challenging aspects of what you’re doing, but not everybody can say the same.

SAGITTARIUS

23 NOVEMBER – 21 DECEMBER

Nobody could blame you for wanting to bring a personal ambition to fruition in the next few weeks. But you have to be wary of uncertainty around the financial or political factors involved. It would be wise to wait until the end of the month before you finally commit to a strategy that’s thrilling but extremely complex.

CAPRICORN

22 DECEMBER – 20 JANUARY

Those trying to build up your hopes regarding intensely private matters mean well, but you should aim to retain a pragmatic outlook and not get caught up in make-believe. Eventually, you’ll be in possession of everything required for you to decide exactly what you should or should not do.

AQUARIUS

21 JANUARY – 19 FEBRUARY

Minor concerns about money or relationships must be kept in perspective. You’re in danger of overthinking circumstances that aren’t as straightforward as they were meant to be. Ask yourself what’s the worst that could happen if things were to change. You’ll realise that you have far less to worry about than it seems.

PISCES

20 FEBRUARY – 20 MARCH

Pastimes will appeal enormously. But if you need to initiate the kind of actions likely to lead to a hugely enjoyable, rewarding experience, you should do so before 18June, when Mercury enters a retrograde phase. After that point, messages may go astray andyour intentions couldbe misinterpreted and causehitches.

ARIES

21 MARCH – 20 APRIL

Refuse to let changes within domestic settings interrupt work or your dealings with in uential people. True, loved ones should feel free to turn to you for support when necessary, but there’s a limit to how much you should adjust the structure of your own life to accommodate others. Be caring without becoming a martyr.

TAURUS

21 APRIL – 21 MAY

Injecting more gusto into financial dealings or group projects should bring exciting results. With energetic Mars being boosted by a run-in with the Sun and Venus, you’re about to become far more proactive than you’ve been recently. And you’re not going to let any golden opportunities slip through your  fingers, are you?
