YOUR HOROSCOPE

Someone in authority is about to boost your confidence, leaving you ready to take on something hugely demanding but with a great deal of potential for you. Don’t overlook the fact, however, that you’ll be functioning in an area run on a subtle and complex set of rules and guidelines. Learn them off by heart.

Someone in authority is about to boost your confidence, leaving you ready to take on something hugely demanding but with a great deal of potential for you. Don’t overlook the fact, however, that you’ll be functioning in an area run on a subtle and complex set of rules and guidelines. Learn them off by heart.

ARIES 21 MARCH – 20 APRIL

A new venture, of either a personal or professional nature, will appeal. But in the second half of March, you’ll feel the earliest effects of a Jupiter-Pluto clash. This will emphasise the fact that people with whom you’re involved are agitating for a power struggle that you won’t want to participate in—nor should you.

TAURUS 21 APRIL – 21 MAY

Secret fears about work or personal responsibilities mustn’t rock your confidence. Events early in the month should encourage you to prove how competent you are within the territory concerned. You’ve been concentrating too heavily on minor mishaps which, in the broad scheme of things, are negligible.

GEMINI 22 MAY – 21 JUNE

Talk of unexpected developments will raise your hopes regarding your long-term plans. But these are still early days and much of what is being rumoured is nothing but hearsay. Even so, you can make good use of what you’ve been told and let it provide an excuse to ask probing questions of those in authority.

CANCER 22 JUNE – 23 JULY

Your natural allegiance to home and family may be threatened by colleagues or employers making exceptional demands on you. Refuse to let Jupiter’s tussle with Uranus persuade you to respond in an aggressive way. Stand your ground but strive to get what you want while remaining dignified and respectful.

LEO 24 JULY – 23 AUGUST

Be ready to manage an area that leaves some people dazed and confused— but remember you can’t be expected to work for nothing. Around the 12th, you may be in danger of being taken for granted. Someone will have to be reminded that your contribution deserves to be rewarded and respected. Accept nothing less.

VIRGO 24 AUGUST – 23 SEPTEMBER

Those protesting their innocence about professional, legal or financial matters might turn to you. You must strip away all the dramatic references and ignore any shock tactics, leaving you free to analyse the facts and make a judgment. It’s crucial to be perceived as entirely fair and unbiased. Your reputation is precious.

LIBRA 24 SEPTEMBER – 23 OCTOBER

As a professional or property matter is brought to a successful close, you’ll realise that an intensely private issue is demanding every minute of your spare time. If this creates conflict between yourself and certain others, you can do little more than ask for their patience and understanding. Even you can’t perform miracles.

SCORPIO 24 OCTOBER – 22 NOVEMBER

People may quiz you about your cash flow or how much you spend indulging yourself. Put it down to the Sun’s run-in with Saturn, which is raising all sorts of irrelevant questions about you and your lifestyle. Make it clear that as far as you’re concerned, your finances are your business and nobody else’s.

SAGITTARIUS 23 NOVEMBER – 21 DECEMBER

The sudden urge to tie up loose ends and attend to unfinished business will keep you busy. That’s fine, provided people don’t assume that you’ll be happy to run around after them when you’ve some time to spare. You’ve been too accommodating to certain individuals in the past and must avoid it happening again.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

Anticipate an intriguing meeting or trip with optimism. But don’t let the Sun befriending Neptune, planet of daydreams, raise your expectations to an unrealistic level. The others involved will be hoping to share with you a pleasant or enlightening experience—not anything ostentatious or extravagant.

AQUARIUS 21 JANUARY – 19 FEBRUARY

By talking openly about your bank balance or certain assets, you might have given the impression that you’re better off than you are. This could leave people thinking you’ll bankroll them or bail them out if they hit financial worries. You’ll have to put them right. Remember, money can create problems as well as solve them.
