Here's what the ancient Tarot cards have to say about your Sun sign for this week:

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Stop sitting on the fence. You may be pushing for time before you make an important decision. Or are purposely ignoring the alarm bells. Before it’s too late, choose. If work is beginning to feel stale, ask yourself how you can upgrade yourself, or start taking steps to find something else. A senior colleague shows their true colours, or begins to feel intimidated by your extraordinary intelligence. Home matters look peaceful, perhaps it’s time to move homes, or declutter or renovate your living space. Don’t spend too much time analysing, start putting your great ideas into action. Health matters show a need for some lifestyle changes. Money matters may require a little more care especially when it comes to your spending habits.

Taurus Apr 20- May 20)

You begin to start asserting your need for independence. You no longer wish to be controlled or told how to do things. A part of you may have had enough of the job, the home environment and you may start taking steps to go solo in the weeks ahead. This phase favours those who want to launch their own business, go independent or even end a relationship. Your mind is clear and you are determined to get what you want. Don’t trust someone blindly. They may be promising much more than they can deliver. Or just taking you for a ride. A stressful situation around someone's health begins to ease, as a new routine is established. Just be mindful of your own health in the days ahead. Money that was owed to you will be returned.

Gemini (May21- June 20)

You’re in the mood to celebrate and socialise. Look forward to a get-together with close friends and family. And work-related events where you could bump into some old faces and even make a few new contacts. If you’ve been busy with an important project, then expect the accomplishment of a major milestone, one that calls for celebration and a sigh of relief. You’re surrounded by stable and supportive relationships and may not even be aware of just how popular or loved you are. Money may be spent on buying gifts and treating loved ones to a special meal. All worth it, just don’t go overboard and do remember to stay within your means. Good news is that if you’ve been ailing, your energy and vitality returns. And if planning a baby, there may be some good news ahead indeed.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Lady Luck smiles your way. A period of sudden positive changes begins. And it could all start with your mindset. You begin to feel more optimistic about things. And discover just how much you’ve let go of. A part of you is ready for the new and the exciting and other people will pick up your vibe and be drawn to you. Work and money matters show an upward swing, especially for Cancerians in finance, IT, manufacturing and retail. And you may be laying down plans for the next stage of your career. Relationships may go through a change too, one that requires a little more communication and even sacrifice, but in the long run you’ll be glad you did it now. A flexible approach with family members helps bonds get stronger. Health matters look good.

Leo (July 23- Aug 22)

Time to let go of the past and see things as they are meant to be seen. Changes at work in terms of new colleagues and company policies may leave you missing the old times. Don’t resist things, but just go with the flow for now and stay rooted in the present moment. Forgive all those who have hurt you and move on, especially in terms of old friendships. A relationship may begin to feel boring or even stifling as you realise the old passion has gone and both of you have evolved into different people. An old flame may reconnect suddenly out of the blue. Or you could find yourself missing someone from a long time ago. Spending time outdoors or with young children and pets brings re-ignites your curiosity and love for play. Money matters require you to be a little more organised with paperwork. Once sorted, you’re free.

Virgo (Aug 23- Sept 22)

Time to be mindful. Time to be brave. The Universe is trying to tell you something for a long time but you may not be listening. Pay attention to the clues. Listen to your inner voice. And ignore the doubts and self-critiques please. With greater self-awareness, healing can take place and things can get a whole lot better. A loved one may need to travel or relocate overseas. Or you may need to travel at a moment’s notice. In matters of work and money, now is the time to take action. Any delay on your part could lead to missed opportunities. Avoid being too critical of other people, a tolerant approach leads to greater harmony both at work and at home. Legal matters may get delayed, but that gives you time to prepare. You may find yourself overthinking endlessly about every purchase, if it’s something you need and you can afford it, just buy it!

Libra (Sept 23- Oct 22)

Time to recharge your batteries. If you’ve been feeling under the weather or just drained by doing so much for everyone, the cards urge you to withdraw and relax. Be patient with yourself and others. Now is not the time for action, but stillness. Answers come to us in our quietest moments. And it would be wise to hold your opinions and keep your ideas to yourself until the time is right. In matters of the heart, someone’s childishness or moods may begin to get to you. Before you explode, retreat for a while and ask yourself why you’re allowing yourself to get so affected. Job seekers and students may have to wait a little longer for answers, just stay upbeat during the waiting period. Health matters reveal a need to rest your mind and body.

Scorpio (Oct 23- Nov21)

Take charge. Show them who’s the boss. Energy levels may be high. And your ambitions are at their highest point right now. Use this energy to get going on your projects, dreams, and multitasking. Others will be dazzled by your confidence and your outgoing nature. And now is not the time to let anyone stand in your way. An older woman may help you advance in your career or business. You can leave a positive impression behind wherever you go. Singles may find themselves actively pursuing someone and refusing to take no for an answer. Persistence does pay. Financially, this energy attracts abundance your way, so use this time to its fullest. Just watch out for bouts of anger. Not everyone is like you, so do be a little patient with them.

Sagittarius (Nov 22- Dec 21)

When the student is ready, the Master appears. Either you meet with a mentor or a guru who shares certain truths, or you find yourself ready for the next stage of learning on your journey. A period of quiet introspection reveals where you may have gone right and where you may have made mistakes. A wonderful period for students, your efforts will bear fruit, and those preparing for higher studies can find success along the path. In relationships, respect the other person’s need for privacy. You may be ready to share your life, but they may go quiet periodically. Career matters show an upswing in popularity, you do well in groups and anything connected with teams is bound to be a success. Watch out for sudden changes in travel plans.

Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan19)

The little child inside you needs attention. Time to nurture your creative side and your imagination. Perhaps you feel more playful. Or you find yourself brimming with ideas. This is a good period to begin something new, more so in the field of writing, art and design. If you’ve been feeling a little let down by your colleagues or your organization, don’t retreat, find ways to persist and prove your worth to those who matter. Sensitivity in matters of the heart goes a long way. You could find yourself getting closer to someone you’ve just met. Or even encounter a soulmate who feels ‘right” to your soul. If there’s anything to watch out for its your sleep patterns, too much or too little could take a toll on your health. So do make sure you get in your hours of rest./

Aquarius (Jan 20- Feb 18)

You’re looking after everyone and everything around you, but your own self. Prioritise your own needs for a change before you burn out or get drained. Work demands may increase in the weeks ahead and if you don’t set boundaries you could find yourself resenting everyone for your workload. Even in relationships, you may feel like you’re the one who’s putting in all the effort to make things work. Step back a little and bring things back to balance. The best friendships are based on equality and give and take. Financially be a little careful, someone may take advantage of your generosity and it could become hard to say no.

Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20)

Time to be self-reliant and focus on your goals. Do not allow yourself to get distracted by temptations and time-wasting activities and instead use this energy to advance yourself. Your efforts at work and in study show the promise of reward and recognition, provided you persist and do not give up on tough days. A relationship that develops now has the potential to be a long-term commitment with a growing sense of emotional stability. You have a deep understanding of emotion, yours and the other person's and this level of empathy will only win you friends and companions for life. Just watch out for splurging on luxuries you don’t need right now. Save it up for some large expenses coming up later.
