TAURUS (Apr. 21-May 20)

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You might believe things are settled in your mind on the direction matters will take but there is a lot going on behind the scenes that could generate some sort of blockage or hold up.

It might also be that somebody wants more control but hasn’t been open about it. Once you realise this you will be in a better position to find a solution.

What you can and can’t afford financially might need to be faced. You have the opportunity to June next year to improve your finances but this could equally encourage you to spend beyond your means. Right now you should be considering the more important things in life and just how much they will cost and what is left after that for free spending.

There can be a tendency to become overly generous of yourself to June next year. Right now you need to be mindful of any added obligations that could be projected your way. Fair enough if you want to take on more responsibility with a work opportunity but if not, then be aware that others are more than willing to hand things your way.

LEO (July 23-August 22)

VIRGO (August 23-Sept.22)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.22)

Something may not seem that clear about the future early in the week. Mercury, the planet of thought and communication will enter your sign later in the week for an especially long stay – until 18th July.

Strong expectations of somebody else could see you beginning to look at things in a different way. Expect to change your mind later.

You could begin to realise that the expectations of somebody else doesn’t line up with things important to you. This might be because your view of the future has been changing. Up until mid July, you will move into a strong contemplative mode.

You should find quiet time to yourself so that you gain a clear perspective on what is best.

Take the opportunity to drop any obligations that give somebody else greater freedom than yourself. This could generate some tension initially but they have to realise you have your own priorities in life to consider. If you leave these things in place they will put more and more pressure on you over the next 12 months.

SCORPIO (Oct.23-Nov21)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov.22-Dec.21)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.19)

You can become aware of future potential that is open to you. The amount of detail involved or the manner in which this could alter what you are used to on a regular basis should be carefully analysed. Someone else might see it as freeing you up. From late in the week to mid July you could realise things are not straightforward.

A feeling of unease when it comes to the true expectations of somebody else should not be ignored. They might encourage you to take a risk in some way but you need to ensure that you keep your life on a stable path when it comes to everyday situations. You could go through some changes of mind on the future up to mid July.

Some sort of restructure with other people can now begin to take shape in your life that could be very considerable in the long term. It might be difficult to ascertain what someone else is thinking or planning up to mid July. Don’t be too quick to make a judgement this week if something seems too controlling. Let time unfold.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

ARIES (March 21-April 20)

You could suddenly see things from a different perspective in any situation that has had some strain attached to it, which might include your health. Contact and communication with others can become significant to mid July.

You could experience greater understanding but you will have to work through changes of mind.

You should not risk overcommitting financially because it seems a good idea. You will need to focus, up to mid July, on detail and what can be managed on a regular basis. You may need to change your mind about what you think now. You will be tested to work out what is best for you despite any pushing that can come from others.

Some challenges could come up with family or within any situation where there is a need to get something in order. Finances may come into it unexpectedly. You could worry about matters getting out of hand. The main thing is to keep the lines of communication open because a solution can fall into place later in the week.
