Your Weekly Horoscopes Are Here! April 24th – May 1st

What does the new month hold...
If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
This next year fires up your creativity, and your ability to make something out of nothing.  Contentious Mars energises your career sector.  This could mean the odd power struggle at work or at home, where financial or legal matters might also make their presence felt – hardly surprising, in these challenging times.  Winter promises more romantic excitement than you’ve enjoyed for some time – although much of this is via the internet.   By August, too, the cosmos expands your wallet just a tad – a welcome relief.  Be sensible, and stay in control of debts.  Luxuries are allowed, but only if they’re truly affordable.  No cheating.  

Aries (March 21 – April 20)

Best Day:  Saturday 25th
Fear can often hold us back and so often leads to missed opportunities.  I’s not a week to give up or change direction because of challenges or delays – stick with it, have faith and trust both the heavens and your intuition. Throw your heart and soul into everything you do, even if you do have to spend more time at home.  

Taurus (April 21 – May 20)

Best Day:  Wednesday 29th
With all your energy thrown into finding new work, a breakthrough looks imminent.  Some may even be offered a new source of funding this week.  Reassuring indeed, as finances have been a problem for quite some time.  Bad news: you won’t be fully cashed-up for a while.  Forget the credit cards too; they’re probably maxed out.  

Gemini (May 21 – June 21)

Best Day: Monday 27th
Consider yourself blessed in a week which allows a few affordable spoils.  Ambitions and creativity fall into synch, talents resurface and broken promises become a thing of the past.  The same could be said for romance, as you check out promising online dating prospects.   Go for it.  You have planetary permission to indulge in some pleasures.  

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

Best Day:  Wednesday 29th
The cosmos finds you in a meddling mood.  Be careful, or you could talk your way into a migraine’s worth of commitment.  Some situations don’t need your input – so get out of the way and trust that others will get on just fine without you.  Upside:  money’s on the increase, even if temporarily.  Enjoy the increased freedom that extra cash can bring.   

Leo (July 23 – August 23)

Best Day:  Sunday 26th
Someone’s lies or deception may have caused heartache.  Thankfully, the worst is over and you can now recover some equilibrium.  Accept that life brings endings – there’s no reason to hang on to something that may never work.  If necessary, reach out to friends for help.  If you can’t physically visit them, simply get online!

Virgo (August 24 – September 22)

Best Day:  Thursday 30th
Daily routine is happily abandoned when you fall into the company of familiar friends.  For singles, the cosmos conjures up an especially interesting internet date.  For those already coupled, passions could reach boiling point – then settle to a steady simmer.  With much of this planet’s work on hold, discover more leisurely ways of spending the week ahead.

Libra (September 23 – October 23)

Best Day:  Saturday 25th

You’re always getting slapped on the wrist for over-spending, but shopping is an essential part of your being.  This week refuses to extend your credit, so you need diversional therapy – the kind that only love can provide.  And you’re in luck, as Mars offers a bundle of spoils.  Out of this could come a promising alliance – either business or pleasure. 

Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)

Best Day: Friday 24th
Stress crops up in all our lives, but Scorpios seem to feel it acutely.  Too much work, and too many people relying on you – it’s little wonder that you’re facing burnout.  Don’t neglect your own health, especially during these difficult times.  Your challenge now is to sort out what needs to be done and what doesn’t.  Roster your duties into a manageable schedule.

Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)

Best Day:  Tuesday 28th
This week has an important feel about it, as you’re steered in a new direction.  Others may want to intrude on your plans, but if a situation is no longer working for you – don’t ignore this chance to discard overly-heavy burdens.  By lightening the load, life becomes easier.  One warning:  improve your diet.  Your body’s a temple, not a waste bin.  

Capricorn (December 22 – January 20) 

Best Day:  Monday 27th
This week you need to be both patient and adaptable.  With daily routine disrupted, prepare for the unexpected.  Don’t be overly-daunted if presented with something new.  Try to stay flexible – because if you choose to stay stuck in that all-too-familiar-rut, frustrating times lie ahead. It’s time for a change in lifestyle.   

Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)

Best Day:  Thursday 30th
It’s a week to be cautious as someone’s being unscrupulous.  It’s possible that this individual is trying cheat you out of something that’s rightfully yours.  It could be, however, that an envious someone wants to make you look bad, just to boost their own reputation.  End result: head-on conflict.   Keep a distance from trouble, if you can.  

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Best Day:  Tuesday 28th
You’ve been staring down a monetary vortex for a few months now.  However, you can’t claim to have played no part in this – you really must stop spending what you can no longer afford.  Have one more financial fling if you must, but then make some thrifty resolutions.  Review the causes of current problems, and vow never to repeat them.
