Horoscopes - your week ahead with Jeanne Douglas

Cancer (21 June – 21 July): This is an excellent time of year for you, with the sun in your sign, bringing a positive boost and lots of inspiration. This will be needed over the coming few months as new projects get off the ground and it will seem – at times – as if your life is moving in a totally new direction. You’re already starting to get that vibe, so ‘go with the flow’!

Leo (22 July – 22 August): You force yourself, at times, to be strong and practical and this helps you to overcome some emotional challenge. Moreover, you also start to follow through with a brilliant idea – labelled ‘Plan B’ – and find incredible results. Your enthusiasm is reignited and, as you leap into action, you find the success you have craved, so far denied.

Virgo (23 August – 22 September): Spending money is necessary – you find – if you are to get the ‘ball rolling’ in the right direction. And others are depending on you right now to do so and to set the pace. You hide your confusion well, when it comes to a loved one and hope that – given time – that they will start to come around and ‘see the light’. You’re smiling!

Libra (23 September – 22 October): Good energy flows in and you’ll get all those practical jobs done, though you won’t stand any nonsense if others get in the way! Luckily, a partner lets you ‘do your own thing’ and is fully supportive. It’s certainly time to start building on favourite ideas, especially while others are being so supportive and contributing their thoughts.

Scorpio (23 October – 21 November): Work goes well although you’ve been putting a lot of effort into it just recently – so it’s ‘just’ rewards! However, you’ll start to reap the emotional fulfilment as plans come to fruition and you see evidence of your achievements. There are still a few challenges ahead but you’re well equipped to cope and prove yourself once again.

Sagittarius (22 November – 20 December): At last – and finally – a loved one ‘comes through’ and offers you incredible support and opportunity. You now see just how much they feel about you and it’s all ‘good news’ of course. But this is a relief for, somewhere ‘deep down’, you really needed all this reassurance, in the face of amazing changes over the past year. Be happy.

Capricorn (21 December – 19 January): A relationship issue brings warmth and excitement into your life and a partner is simply so charming! Their affection makes such an impact on your life that you feel as though you can ‘take on the world’. Look out for promotion or a new job responsibility, increased popularity - and an admirer makes it all so obvious.

Aquarius (20 January – 17 February): A partner consistently takes a practical approach and this is most helpful, even though they tend to be so ruthlessly realistic at times that you may have to step back! You also need some ‘thinking time’ as you’re a little stumped as regards your next steps. Yes, you’ve come to the end of a phase - so catch up with all your friends.

Pisces (18 February – 19 March): You work hard with others to get something off the ground, so building teamwork is important. You’ve put so much thought into a job but now you will need to trust your instincts if you are to get any further. Although new financial plans have got ‘off the ground’, you now need to revise them. As your popularity soars, home life is fun.

Aries (20 March – 19 April): Suddenly, a loved one holds ‘all the cards’ and all you can do – now – is to let them play them! So, you’ll be jumping when they call or click their fingers. However, much fun will be had with the two of you travelling off together and going places. A sensible approach when it comes to dealing with children is necessary.

Taurus (20 April – 20 May): You spoil a loved one by spending more on them than you should! Not that they’ll be complaining. In fact, the two of you are closer than you’ve been for a long time. The daily routine promises to be brighter and more uplifting as ‘good times roll’. You do seem to have more energy and are looking healthy and attractive. You attract others.

Gemini (21 May – 20 June): A sudden gush of social activity and a change of scene introduce you to a brand new face – and one with vast romantic potential. Just for once, you’ll be pleased with how your finances are working out, as cash flows in and replenishes any exhausted supplies. A carefully thought-out and communicative approach at work is successful.
