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)
If you have something to say, speak up. Not a week to suppress your feelings, ideas and thoughts. And certainly not a week for procrastination. A good phase begins for all Ariens in the field of Communications, and writers, presenters, content creators, journalists will find themselves busier than ever. Expect messages, mails and meetings too. And all for a good reason as well as work begins to pick up, or inquiries pour in from across the world. A misunderstanding is cleared with a loved one, talking about things helps to clear the air. And if you were worried about money matters, expect good news in the following weeks.
Taurus (Apr 20- May 20)
Normal is boring and you want a bit of adventure in your life. There’s a different vibe in the air. One that wants you to do more and get out and about more often. An exciting new project raises the motivation levels. Or you could find yourself intrigued by new technology, a new app or a new designer. Or even hosting an event or party with a theme. On the personal front, energies are high – just make sure your partner is equally enthused about some things. You may even go in for a makeover either for yourself or your home.
Gemini (May21- June 20)
Don’t doubt your inner voice. And don’t wait too long for answers. Just follow your hunches and trust the Universe is taking you in the direction you’re meant to be in. Steer clear of complainers and if you’ve been complaining too much lately, be quiet and play the observer for a while. A new chapter is about to unfold in your life. And if you’re ready, you may make some exciting new discoveries about yourself or your path ahead. Money matters perk up at last. A loyal soul shows up just when you need them. Remember to remain grateful for all those who have stood by you and helped you be who you are today.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Something or someone reminds you of the good old days. You could find yourself nostalgic or missing the company of a person from a long time ago. A reunion may be in store for you. Or you find yourself stuck in a pattern of behaviour that keeps repeating itself. Ask yourself why and figure out what needs to change. An ungrateful man may need to distanced from. Or you may hear news about an ex-flame. A good week to practice some self-healing, especially if you’ve been tired lately. A therapeutic massage or just some downtime should do wonders.
Leo (July 23- Aug 22)
Something needs to be brought back to balance. Your energy may feel a little off. Or your timing is inappropriate. You may react emotionally to an innocent statement, or be a little too cool and detached when someone expects you to be sensitive. Not a time to take any rash or major decisions, the cards request you to hold on a little and get your facts clear before you take any step forward. An old karmic relationship may resurface, reminding you to be more mindful about how you interact and treat others. Money matters look good as look as you hold on to the extravagant expenses.
Virgo (Aug 23- Sept 22)
Keep your feet on the ground and make sure your decisions are based on solid facts not on illusion. Look beyond appearances and see things for what they are. Job seekers may have to choose between multiple options. And if in your business, time to prioritise and not get lost in the details, when all that is expected from you is to look at the big picture. If the chores pile up at home, and you find yourself getting overwhelmed with so many responsibilities and things to do, ask for help. And say no to others a little more often.
Libra (Sept 23- Oct 22)
Things are never as bad as they seem. Try viewing things from a different perspective. Or seek the guidance of a mentor or an objective advisor. What looks like a no-win situation can be resolved with patience and a spirit of cooperation. Stay away from office politics as it could backfire. A woman who appears to be a rival is only insecure and will back away once she sees your brilliance. Relationships may go through a testing patch as you and your better half argue over the littlest of things. Sleep patterns need a routine especially if you’ve been tossing and turning too much. Natural forms of therapy and healing will help.
Scorpio (Oct 23- Nov21)
Something that looked so promising initially turns out to be a flop. You find yourself getting bored of the same old faces and places. A part of you may be craving for some excitement but postponing things till the essential stuff is completed. Too much possessiveness or jealousy may be coming in the way of a happy relationship. Give the person space to be themselves and watch how the situation becomes better. A good week to bring moderation or give up bad habits. Your willpower is at its strongest right now.
Sagittarius (Nov 22- Dec 21)
Go that extra mile. Extend yourself a little. After a period of stress comes a much-needed breakthrough and a sigh of relief. Whatever you were worried about gets sorted. Paperwork and bureaucracy may be tiresome but if you stay calm and persistent, the job will get done. Students may start showing signs of pressure to perform and job seekers may be required to do that little extra to get noticed. At the home front time spent away from family makes you realise how much you miss them. Watch out for signs of over-exertion and make sure you de-stress regularly.
Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan19)
Time to stay a little lowkey especially when it comes to work matters. A dominating woman may act a little too controlling. Or you may have to contend with organisations, government bodies and banks and do exactly as they say for now. A good period begins to upgrade your skills or invest in your education. A lucky phase begins for students going overseas or appearing for competitive exams. And on the home front, you could find it hard to please a demanding mother figure. Hang in there, this too shall pass.
Aquarius (Jan 20- Feb 18)
After a busy phase comes a temporary slowdown. Don’t worry about the lull, use this time to get organised or some much-needed rest. Delays on the work front as a result of changes in policy and strategy cause frustration, but you know you’ll do what’s expected of you. Younger souls may require a firmer approach and a little more patience while communicating with them. A long-standing health issue may take a little longer to heal than necessary or you find yourself seeking another opinion. Not a time to give up, but to dig deeper and keep going.
Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20)
A work situation or relationship isn’t moving fast enough and you could feel emotionally drained with frustration and resentment. If life is beginning to feel stale, it’s up to you to make the changes you wish to see and experience. How about taking a break from your usual routine. Or meeting up with old contacts and catching up with the latest trends. Change begins with you and you may find yourself adopting a totally different attitude now. Money that was owed to you will be returned. Health matters show steady improvement.
