Horoscopes ARIES: No news is not really good news, so chase up unanswered messages promptly. Financial ideas may meet opposition. Listen carefully to the other side. Cancelled plans are on again by the weekend.
LIBRA: The plot thickens! There are so many new entanglements, you begin to think the week has been scripted by Agatha Christie. Meanwhile, a romantic situation improves - and the money news is all good.
TAURUS: Expand on an already fine idea and improve on a just adequate fitness regime. This is the week to be Mr/Ms perfection. Opportunities are open and ambitions are strong.
SCORPIO: Spontaneity is the key of the week. Your best arrangements are rearranged after Tuesday and all week there is much improvisation. The weekend offers a glamorous event. A lazy streak can be offset by exercise.
GEMINI: Price increases or the delay of a payment may mean postponing the purchase of a luxury item. On the bright side, relationships - particularly love relationships flourish all week.
SAGITTARIUS: Two warnings: Be suspect of know- it -alls and stay clear of instant friends. Otherwise enjoy favourable news regarding the following: Bonuses, contests and academic honours.
CANCER: Jobs you sign up for now could be more complex than you think. A family mystery is solved by Sunday. Reconciliations are favoured after the weekend.
CAPRICORN: ‘Times have changed’ - and the truth of this lyric becomes increasingly apparent through the week. Meanwhile, bills arrive earlier than expected and budget reviews shouldn’t be postponed.
LEO: An interrupted project is on again - and the momentum keeps gathering. The weekend’s accent is on new faces, food and ideas. Friends have trouble showing their appreciation, but don’t push.
AQUARIUS: The week’s action takes place within - or very close to your home. Be unusually careful if dealing with numbers or other detailed work. Your intuition is strong, but you are not as logical as you would have people believe. PISCES: Develop and polish new strategies by Thursday and advance a giant step closer to a major career/ education/romance goal. Friday’s exhausting mental gymnastics are balanced by relaxation on the weekend.
VIRGO: The spotlight is on your talents. You may be called on to lead a discussion or display creative work. Avoid extremes in everything this week, especially through the weekend.
Your birthday You are adept at gaining affection and in new surroundings you never remain a this week stranger. You are naturally inquisitive, which sometimes leads to a state of indecision. An important domestic or career decision could mean a change in lifestyle.
