horoscope

Our fab astrologer Zahid Haider, styles up your stars. Find out what’s in store for you this week!

For your in-depth weekly forecast call 0322-757-5219 E-mail: happyhaider65@gmail.com

ARIES (MAR. 21- APRIL 20) Fighting for justice is going to be an important theme for you this week. Don’t let the so-called power players intimidate you. Stand your ground and partner up with people who share the same values as you. Trust that you will find a resolution eventually. Given how challenging your environment is, you’re going to have to put in extra effort to maintain a state of Zen. Prioritize solo time, Aries. Make it a point to come home to yourself.

TAURUS (APR. 21- MAY 21) Starting projects is the fun part. Winding them up, however, is a whole other story.

This chapter of your life requires you to put in twice the effort. Continue to work towards your goals with the knowledge that you will ultimately manifest what you desire. You may or may not get the support you require from the people around you. Find a way to prioritize so you can reach your deadlines in the most efficient manner. What you need to keep in mind when you feel demotivated: this will be over soon, making way for a new phase in your career.

GEMINI (MAY 22-JUNE 21) You know exactly what you are capable of. So why are you holding yourself back now? Beware of playing your worst enemy, Gemini. The key to find both clarity and inspiration: retreating into your burrow. Those million-dollar ideas need incubating.

Come Friday, you will feel more like yourself than you have in a long time. Thinking about taking the manifestation game up a notch? The Universe sends its blessings.

CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 22) You mood this week: making art and making magic. This is your best life, Cancer, and you have played an active role in attracting the opportunities that are helping you harness your creative energy. What's more? Your efforts are making you a magnet for the wealth and abundance you desire and deserve. Remember, the lone wolf will intimidate the pack even if he does not intend to. You don’t have to dull your sparkle in order to match the vibe of the room.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG 22) This is not your battle alone, Leo. If you want to emerge victorious, recruit the right people. People who share your vision and believe in living conscientiously, just like you. Remember, you are being guided by your higher self in the most testing situations. Not-so-good news: the tables may or may not turn immediately. Be patient with the Universe as you continue to stand your ground. Getting plenty of 'me time' through the week will help you stay centered.

VIRGO (AUG. 23 -SEPT. 23) What if you are your worst enemy, Virgo? Be aware of the ways in which you are sabotaging your own growth. Awareness is the first step to liberation. Make ‘yes’ your power word this week. Commit to accepting the challenges that scared the living daylights out of you. So what if you trip and fall in the beginning? Before you know it, you’ll be gliding gracefully in the air and reminding your limitations of who is in charge here.

LIBRA (SEPT. 24 -OCT. 23) If you’ve been keeping your dreams and desires on hold, it’s time to go for them, Libra! You are your most ambitious self this week, one who is able to recognize a one-of-a-kind opportunity when it comes knocking at your door. Let ‘ask and you shall receive’ be your mantra, wild one. The Universe is aligning you with power players who could invest in your million-dollar idea and help take your career to a whole new level. Remember to be your most charming self. You want them to believe in your project just as much as you do.

SCORPIO (OCT. 24 - NOV. 22) Wear your most charming smile this week, especially if you’re trying to sell an idea. The Universe is in the mood to help you level up and align you with power players. Remember, when you speak from a space of love and authenticity, they will have no option but to see things from your perspective. Come Friday, you will witness movement in the right direction. PS: Ready to step into a new phase of your career?

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 23 -DEC. 21) That go-getter vibe is making you irresistible, Sagittarius. Let your inner fire guide you to make the bold moves you feel inspired to. Remember, the greater the risks, the more magnificent the returns. For some of you, this could be a time of breaking away from the pack and going your own way. The first step may seem intimidating. Once you’ve crossed the threshold, doing things independently will seem like a cakewalk.

CAPRICORN (DEC 22.- JAN. 20) There are things that have helped you reach the epitome of success, and then there are decisions that made you realize what rock bottom is made up of. But no experience is good or bad. Each of them played a significant role in building your character. So why are we bringing this up now? This week, you’re being asked to take a moment to review your life and assimilate the learnings. This is going to make you the most invincible version of yourself when you step into the new.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 21.- FEB. 19) You’re suffering from a classic case of ‘too many tabs’ open this week, Aquarius. Your best friend will get a handle on her wedding drama with or without you. But who’s going to look out for you and your career? Aquarius, it’s about time you bring the focus back to the most important person in your life (aka you) lest your work starts to suffer. Establishing a routine is a good way to stay on track with your goals.

PISCES (FEB. 20-MAR. 20) You’re tapping into the gift of the gab, Pisces. Both your seniors and your subordinates want to be a part of your mission, given the manner in which you are making a case for your ideas. Enjoy being in the spotlight for all the right reasons, magical one. This week also brings with itself a significant shift in your finances, or an opportunity that would ultimately put money in the bank. While some say the secret to attracting wealth is by working hard, others would advocate for working smart. But if the cards are anything to go by, you’re being asked to create from a space of joy and leave the rest to the Universe.
