Here's what the ancient Tarot cards have to say about your Sun sign for this week:
Aries (Mar 21- Apr 19)
Don’t get bogged down by what could go wrong and start focussing on what is going right. Time to roll up your sleeves, do what needs to be done. And stay extremely patient with answers. On the home front, a sudden repair may take more time than usual. Or you find yourself avoiding certain family members just to keep your peace. Money matters require mindful spending. Hold on the splurging till things improve. Health matters look manageable.
Taurus Apr 20- May 20)
Time to speak your mind loud and clear. Holding on to opinions, viewpoints and facts isn’t helping anyone in the process. You may find yourself busy preparing speeches, presentations and videos for an upcoming project. Just don’t get so lost in work, that you neglect your health. Singles can find the person of their dreams in this phase, so stay open to any encounters. Business and personal partnerships flourish. Money matters look up. Money that was stuck in the pipeline finally shows signs of movement. Watch your food and drink intake. Something may not agree with your system.
Gemini (May 21- June 20)
Teamwork makes dreamwork. Collaborations, partnerships and influential alliances spell out success. Recognition and reward may be coming for you for a wonderful job done. Remember to share the credit with everyone who’s helped you up the ladder. And pay their kindness forward. You may choose to mentor someone. Or align yourself with a social or environmental cause you believe in. Financially, you’re in the midst of a lucky phase. Be wise with your investments. Patience will reward you in health matters. Slow progress doesn’t mean no progress.
Cancer (June 21- July 22)
You may spend some time introspecting in the days ahead. Reflecting on what you value. Assessing your priorities. And making the necessary changes in your work life balance. Workplace matters bring a sense of dissatisfaction as you notice how much the environment has changed. Or the truth behind certain people and their motives. But for now, just keep calm and carry on. In terms of money, you may be spending way beyond your budget. Or being a little too extravagant. Control the purse strings, bring back the balance. A minor ailment is cured with natural therapy.
Leo (July 23- Aug 22)
Listen to your heart about what to do next. Detach a little from distractions and focus on the essentials for now. A dream may have to be put on pause for now until you get your finances sorted. Advice from a senior professional helps you set your goals and strategy in place. If relationships begin to feel stale, ask yourself if you are only staying because it feels better than being on your own for a while. News from overseas brings something to look forward to. A good week to declutter and let go of attitudes and possessions you no longer need.
Virgo (Aug 23- Sept 22)
No one works as hard as you. And only you know the amount of sweat and tears you’ve put into your work. Time to put your attention on areas which you know will work out in the long run. It’s not about quick wins, is it? Don’t overlook family. You may forget to return a call or follow up on some activity, so ensure you set reminders. Investments will begin to pay off. And a property agreement may be signed. Just make sure you take out some time for self-care.
Libra (Sept 23- Oct 22)
Energies may feel scattered. Or you find you can’t focus on anything properly. There may be too much to do in one go. Or zero inclination to get going. Before you worry about this phase, remember it’s a reminder from The Universe to just take things one step at a time instead of bogging your mind with future implications. Married couples may need to live up to their duties and responsibilities towards the rest of the family. Or you find yourself attending an event because you have to, not because you want to. Hold on dear Libran, this too shall pass.
Scorpio (Oct 23- Nov 21)
It’s a slow and arduous path to success. Though right now it may feel like nothing significant is happening, it will. The cards assure you of accomplishment and moving on to the next phase of growth. Be patient with the process. And with the people around you. Misunderstandings can take place, so be sure to be extra tolerant and mindful of the words you speak. Relationships may cool down for now, but with a little time apart, things can improve between you two later. Meditation brings relief and clarity to the mind. Money matters show slow and steady improvement.
Saggitarius (Nov 22- Dec 21)
Your kindness and compassion is stuff legends are made of. While you’re known to be giving and helpful, you need to bring a balance, don’t you? Learn to receive. The gifts. The compliments. And the help you require. A short break from the daily routine will refresh your soul, even if it’s a getaway for a day or two. A special someone appears just when you thought life was getting too predictable for your liking. A little detox from social media or even bad habits refreshes and gives you the kickstart you need.
Capricorn (Dec 22- Jan 19)
Good karma or Bad karma? Things could suddenly happen which have no scientific or logical reason. It could be an unexpected reward for all your past good deeds. Or sudden help from an unlikely source. Or contending with an old enemy who resurfaces for one final showdown before they disappear. Be mindful of your words and actions. You get what you give. A marriage proposal may take its time, or the special someone you’ve been eyeing for a while may go quiet. Prayer, meditation and voluntary work soothe the soul. Bank balances could fluctuate.
Aquarius (Jan 20- Feb 18)
Money takes centre stage in your life. Meetings, negotiations, bills and investments may be all that you’re consumed with. You may hold back on the expenses. Or hold on to a pending bill till you think you are ready to pay. Something needs to be sorted out once and for all. You may not be in the mood to be laid back or let minor irritants go and may even give someone a piece of your mind. Change is in the air, but first, clear up the baggage from the past. Forgive and move on. If you were struggling with a recurring ailment, a new line of treatment appears to be more promising.
Pisces (Feb 19- Mar 20)
A new beginning is at hand. And the more you advance with an open mind and a cheerful heart, the better things become. You may bubble with creative ideas. Or even consider a new line of work altogether. A good phase for designers, artists and those in the performing arts, the cards assure you of long-term success. Even in matters of the heart, there may be a growing commitment to someone. Or you decide to get engaged. Time to shed the old and begin afresh. Health matters show renewal and healing.
