Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Trying to buy someone’s affection is a losing proposition. You deserve to be loved for who you are, not for what you can buy. If a romantic partner or youngster has fallen into the habit of demanding expensive gifts, have a heart to heart talk about finances. Doing a job simply for money won’t be rewarding. You should look for work that offers emotional satisfaction. Working for emergency services, serving as a counsellor or giving therapy to those in need are good options.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) Home life feels confining. You’re tired of waiting on a demanding relative. The sooner you put your needs first, the happier you will be. Ignore any complaints. The sooner your tormentor realises they can’t affect you, the faster they will behave themselves. You can’t feel worthy of love if you don’t approve of yourself. It’s time to stop obsessing over perceived flaws and accept yourself unconditionally. The stronger your confidence becomes, the easier it will be to find the affection you deserve.

Gemini (May22/Jun21) You’re reluctant to express yourself for fear of rejection. Push past your anxiety and say what is on your mind. Some people will laugh at your audacious ideas, but most will respect them. Don’t be surprised when someone asks to collaborate with you. Are you unemployed? It will take longer than you expect to find a good position. Be patient and make the most of your current situation. Use your extra time to enjoy the activities you love. Catch up on your reading. Commune with nature.

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) You’re jealous over a relative’s financial success. The sooner you stop resenting their wealth, the easier it will be to cultivate your own. The Universe is endlessly abundant. If someone else is prosperous, that doesn’t mean there is less for you to enjoy. Spending money carelessly will create needless anxiety. You don’t have to buy something expensive to have a good time. Focus on enjoying the many wonderful possessions you already have. A gadget you abandoned long ago will bring you renewed pleasure.

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Your family ties are so strong that it’s sometimes difficult to strike out on your own. This can be incredibly frustrating. You must decide whether you are going to be true to yourself or popular with your relatives. Public approval is overrated. Repairing or replacing an appliance is necessary. You’ll have to dig deep into savings or buy something on credit. Having a functional machine is worth the trouble. Being able to do chores quickly and easily will greatly improve your financial prospects.

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) It will be impossible to realise your potential if you don’t take a chance to move up your chosen career ladder. You have the skills and intelligence, but you don’t want any added stress. This causes you to avoid work involving lots of responsibility. It’s time to change your tune and pursue a fully-fledged career. The additional training you want isn’t available now. Instead of cursing your luck, look for a better use for your time. Taking a short trip will be a welcome diversion. Visit a friend who lives nearby.

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Friends shouldn’t have so much influence on your behaviour. You have tremendous creative talent. Developing your artistic skills is more important than fitting in with the crowd. Devoting more time to writing, painting or playing music will build your confidence. You’re intimidated by people who do similar work to yours. Stop treating them as competitors. View them as teachers instead. By studying their techniques, you can further develop your own. There’s always room for growth; take every opportunity to expand.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) It will be impossible to satisfy a demanding employer. You have strong ideas about how to perform your job. Your boss wants you to take another approach. Even when you adjust your methods, they’re unhappy. It’s time to strike out on your own. Despite everyone’s scepticism, you can achieve success. It’s a matter of controlling your temper. When you feel that your anger is starting to rise, channel it into a productive activity. Take some exercise, repair or change a piece of equipment or tackle some paperwork.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) It’s hard to find work in your area of interest. While you’re looking for a good career opportunity, you should take an easy job just to pay the bills. Not only will you be making money, but you’ll also form some strong friendships with colleagues. It’s not enough to build castles in the air. You must get ideas off the ground. Whether this means saving money for materials, getting practical experience or learning how to operate equipment is unimportant. The key is to stop dreaming and start doing.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) A manipulative person will try to take advantage of your soft heart. Don’t feel pressured to give them a loan after they tell you a sob story. You work hard for your salary. There’s no reason to share it with a layabout. If you want to enjoy intimacy with your partner, you must be tender towards them. Show that you are interested in their hopes and dreams. Take some chores off their shoulders. Show appreciation for all the kindness they show you. They’ll be more receptive to your romantic overtures.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Your romantic partner and family do not get along. Playing one side against the other will do more harm than good. It’s up to you to encourage civility. Stop allowing people to criticise each other in your presence. Don’t get drawn into power struggles. You can’t attain a position of power without making a few sacrifices. Putting in more hours at the office, adding to your qualifications or serving as an apprentice are among the possibilities. Get to work.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Stop denigrating your colleagues. Even if you are the most talented person in the group, you shouldn’t lord your ability over everyone else. Give credit where it is due. Praise people for their contributions and thank them for their help. This is a group effort. If you’ve been thinking about opening your own business, do some research into the best way of doing so. Teaming up with an experienced business partner will greatly increase your chances for success. They’ll help you avoid costly mistakes.
