Horoscopes

  • Aries

    Think about your daily life, work and health. Focus on this so you can decide what you love and what you’re passionate about on a day-to day-basis, including your work situation. Try not to make any decisions yet and let the answers come to you, rather than force them. Go with your gut feeling.

  • Taurus

    Something to consider this week is all work and no play makes for a really boring life. Indulge in some creative fun and express yourself. Furthermore, study is well aspected if you choose to take it up. This could be formal study or personal development. Aim to figure yourself out a little more.

  • Gemini

    Your career could take a few unexpected turns. It’s up to you whether you consider them beneficial or not. Sometimes blessings come in disguises. If it’s not your career where the turn of events is occurring, it could be how you perceive your role in life and with your family.

  • Cancer

    There are still lessons to be learned about love and relationships. Don’t lull yourself into a false sense of security, thinking you’ve got it all sorted. There is no need to self-sacrifice for anyone and you can be firm and assertive with a kind heart. Always hold on to your sense of self.

  • Leo

    Believe it or not, a lot rides on your ability to address particular situations now in order to set yourself up for the future. Your mental health needs some attention and care. Try meditation, music therapy, art therapy or exercise. They can all help take your mind off the humdrum and can give you peace and a clear head.

  • Virgo

    The recent full moon took place in your sign highlighting parts of your individuality that you would probably rather keep hidden. You were given an opportunity to acknowledge the tricky parts and work on them. Also, there is other weird planetary action going on so take note of coincidences and omens.

  • Libra

    The 12th house governs hidden fears and the subconscious. This is the area where you can discover what brings you undone. Thinking you need to go through things on your own or avoiding issues long enough so they’ll go away is not healthy. Be mindful of your health and get plenty of sleep this week.

  • Scorpio

    There are many distractions lately that will knock you off track if you’re not vigilant and stick to your plans. Be aware enough to notice when something is bringing you down or holding you back. Your self-expression and sense of pleasure is part of your development this year, but not your ultimate goal.

  • Sagittarius

    It’s not until you lose something valuable that you understand its true worth. What have you lost lately? This doesn’t just pertain to material possessions. Think about you personally. There could be a loss in personal power or personal authority. Sit with it for a while and see what you discover.

  • Capricorn

    This year is the year to expand on yourself, your knowledge, your position in life and to push ahead with your plans. Set a steady course and promise yourself that you deserve what you gain and that nothing should stand between you and your goals. Plant the seeds for your future now.

  • Aquarius

    Continue to shed your old skin and use wisdom in your decisions. Soon there will be another test(s) where you need to consider security versus freedom. Distractions that will hold you back include outdated and outworn beliefs, toxic relationships, stagnation and fear, and the inability to let go.

  • Pisces

    This will be one of the biggest birthdays you will ever have. I’m not talking about a massive party with tonnes of friends, nor am I talking about extravagant gifts or winning the lottery. What I am talking about is the opportunity to experience, grow and develop.You have five planets occupying your sign at the moment and this is referred to as a stellium. The planets occupying Pisces right now are largely beneficial with each sharing their energy. You are set to experience spiritual growth, learn about the recesses of your mind, discover some secrets about yourself and you are subject to a few weird and wonderful experiences. If you allow yourself, you can shed old skin and become the person you’d hoped to be, provided you are wise and honest with your dreams. This week will kick off an awesome life journey. Strap yourself in and enjoy what is to come.
