By Mita Bhan: 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 disheartened by people who promise and then disappear. A project may get shelved or a job interview goes quiet. Doesn’t mean it’s not going to happen, but for now, just pick up the pieces and keep walking. Someone you thought was a friend may turn out to be a rival, pay attention to the red flags. Money matters may be slow, but will pick up in a few weeks. Good news come from good friends, who have stuck with you through the good times and the bad. Watch out for splurging on something you don’t really need.
Taurus (Apr 20- May 20)
A sudden change in plans or a temporary slowdown could leave you in a little bit of a tizzy. Keep Plan B ready. And don’t allow sudden developments to throw you off gear. Businesses may need to upgrade their technology. Or you may think of adding to the team to keep up with the workload. Double check any documents and contracts before signing. Someone may not be telling you everything you need to know. A loved one may act mysteriously or exclude you from some news. Health matters need you to be extra mindful, especially if you’ve been taking your health for granted lately.
Gemini (May21- June 20)
Trust your gut about someone or something. If you feel they’re lying, they are. If it feels right, go for it. Your dreams may be quite vivid or you may be bursting with ideas. Keep jotting down them as you find yourself more productive. A good week for creative Geminis, ideators, strategists and designers. Your ideas are different from others and will get the appreciation you seek. A family member may need you to be extra patient with them while they make up their mind. Health matters show recovery and a chance to make a fresh start with your health. How can you do things differently now?
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
If you’ve been thorough with your planning and preparation, this week will glide by smoothly. If you’ve been careless or hasty, expect some reworks, some extra expenses and bouts of stress. Work on staying calm especially if you’re finding yourself more anxious than ever. Job seekers may get a response but will have to make a few compromises in their expectations. On the home front you may start planning repairs and renovation, remember to stay within your budget and deadline. If you’ve been concerned about health, the cards assure you of speedy healing.
Leo (July 23- Aug 22)
Too many changes in the workplace are beginning to feel unsettling. Someone’s way of thinking may be too controlling for your liking. Or you could find yourself having to deal with people who are just too stubborn to listen to any other viewpoints. Work on being more persuasive. Collaboration and sharing credit where it’s due brings the results you seek. Dreams of starting your own business or going solo may be shelved for now as there’s too much to be done. An old payment that you’d forgotten up suddenly pops up. Staying organised will keep you on top of the game.
Virgo (Aug 23- Sept 22)
Relief at last. The Universe answers one of your prayers. Or you find a long standing problem gets sorted. You may feel like splurging on yourself. Or going in for a makeover. When was the last time you indulged yourself? Job seekers may consider looking at new industries or learning about emerging technological trends. An ongoing project builds momentum, just make sure you manage your time properly. In matters of the heart, time to express your gratitude to all those who support you and wish you well. Married couples may consider buying property or a new car.
Libra (Sept 23- Oct 22)
Speak out. Keeping quiet isn’t helping you. Or you may find yourself at a loss for words with someone’s behaviour. This is the week to communicate verbally and non verbally and make sure other people get to know where you’re coming from and what you believe in. A good week for writers, editors and those in communication. Your ideas are clear and your audience is ready for what you have to say. When it comes to love, express your feelings. How will a special someone know what’s going on in your heart if you won’t tell them?
Scorpio (Oct 23- Nov21)
Pay attention to all your interactions with people. And protect your peace at all costs. Decide to detach from those who just waste your time with unnecessary questions or drain you with their never ending complaints. And be with those who exude a sense of calm regardless of the circumstances. If you’ve been struggling to find purpose in your life, you may find a clue from the past. A new hobby sparks your interest and you may just sign up for some classes. Whatever it is, don’t hold back on the happy vibes. Smile and the world smiles with you.
Saggitarius (Nov 22- Dec 21)
A new you is emerging. Wiser and stronger, and even luckier than before. Plans get finalised for a new product, project or promotion. And self employed Saggitarians may find themselves multi tasking or attracting new business. Only thing to be careful is expecting others to match your energy levels. Watch out for a young man whose enthusiasm is short lived or who suddenly ghosts on you. Love matters may cool down for a bit. Perhaps you need a little time apart. Or perhaps they aren’t meant to be in your life forever. Be mindful about overindulging in the good stuff, too much rich food could take its toll on your health.
Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan19)
Something’s taking too long to materialise. Or you discover your strategy needs a total rework. Back to the drawing board and back to learning the lesson of patience again. A coworker may act difficult or a boss may be too critical. Just tolerate their presence and keep doing what needs to be done. On the home front, news about a family member may lead to many discussions. Singles may have to contend with an unreliable admirer, someone who shows up for a few days and then disappears without a trace. Time to let go of expectations and stay flexible to changes. A lot more is about to happen, but for now, just watch and wait.
Aquarius (Jan 20- Feb 18)
No more sitting on the fence dear Aquarian. Time to decide. Recent disappointments have led you to reach this point where you may be re-evaluating where you are and where you wish to go. A certain restlessness surrounds you as you examine your life and feel a sense of dissatisfaction with the way your life has shaped up especially in terms of your career. You know you are capable of doing much more but at this point all you feel is a sense boredom and a knowledge that you cannot continue this way. Things need to change and that can happen when you become a lot more decisive. Financially a good phase begins but your heart may not be in it like before. What can you do differently?
Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20)
You can no longer procrastinate. It’s time to set the alarms and make sure the job gets done. Even if it means staying up late, your sense of commitment to the job will be acknowledged And if you remain this pro-active, expect reward and recognition later this year. A new friend or acquaintance may run into some trouble and will turn to you for help. Loved ones need you to be more patient as they struggle with something. Just be supportive and not critical. Health matters are good. And if you haven’t begun already, turn to meditation to de-stress
