Horoscopes

ARIES: You're at the crossroad point of intersecting energies this week. And if you're attempting to hold things together, it's going to take the important - but usually unpractised by you - qualities of restraint, patience and compromise.

TAURUS: If you're in a particularly organising mood this week (and when aren't you), don't focus on whipping things Out There into shape. You'll achieve more of what you want by changing things like the way you spend your own time, money and mental energy.

GEMINI: Mercury chez Sagittarius opens the door to the chat room, and all sorts of interesting info. But no-one can give you the answers - you already know them. The guidance you're looking for is waiting for you to look inside and access it.

CANCER: Yes, conflict and disagreement is in the air - but you don't have to go there. You could promise yourself not to make this week a struggle. Walk the line of least resistance. Laugh instead of argue. Be a Cancerian ambassador of luuurve...

LEO: As you probably know by now from experience, being over-confident tends to work against you. The word hubris means getting too big for your boots and saying so what to the fates - and this week hubris could land you in plenty hot water.

VIRGO: Everyone needs to break the hum-drum sameness of day to day habits, schedules and routines occasionally - and this week's one of those times. Take yourself off for a wee walk on the wild side, Virgs. Go exploring. Perhaps a little trip. Adventure beckons...

LIBRA: Librans don't care for squabbling, dissent, divisive tactics or discrimination - some of which you're likely to come up against this week. Naturally you wouldn't fight for peace and a fair deal, but you will have to pursue them with a certain amount of vigour and commitment.

SCORPIO: Whatever you're doing this week, whether it's administrating, delegating, organising, proselyting or just socialising, treat others the way you would want to be treated. Because, karma being what it is, that's exactly how you will be.

SAGITTARIUS: You want nothing more than a carefree life, yet is anyone more constantly beset with challenging situations than your good self? Why is this? Because your disputatious nature actually loves a stoush? Watch your reactions this week and check if this is true.

CAPRICORN: Any glitches this week are really a conflict between your material needs and your spiritual growth. Which isn't as daunting as it sounds - because if your spirit's evolving in good shape, material things are so much easier to deal with.

AQUARIUS: Your very definite views and quite forceful style of expressing them, while often absolutely hilarious, could very likely offend those who think differently this week. And toning down's definitely not an option? Then don't you get offended by your critics.

PISCES: Don't let appearances get you down, because you know that what often appears to be real, isn't. Things are actually much better, much healthier than they seem, and proceeding just the way they need to - even if not the way you wanted.
