Sign up for the Fabulous newsletter Thank you! They’ll go the extra mile for you, although you may need to be clearer about what kind of help you really need. This works the other way around too. Ask questions rather than making assumptions. Results will be obvious by the end of the week. TAURUS APR 21 – MAY 21 Don’t allow yourself to be frustrated by behaviour that’s impossible for you to understand. Most read in Fabulous When the Moon arrives in your sign on Thursday you’ll realise what or who is a waste of your precious time. Bother less with those who always seem to drain your energy and more with those who value you, or who always brighten your day. GEMINI MAY 22 – JUNE 21 You love to keep up with the news, in your family and also with your wider circle. There are some gaps to fill in, but there’s no rush. Circle Friday morning for others getting in touch or for hearing of something mega through the grapevine. Over the weekend you’ll also be able to act fast on new information and make decisions, especially the tough ones! CANCER JUNE 22 – JULY 22 Water signs must follow their instincts and you’re wise to avoid any line of action that you feel to be wrong. Even if you can’t put your misgivings into words, does it matter? You don’t have to explain or justify everything. Once you reach the weekend you’ll know how to map out a workload, tackle a problem or start a longer term money plan. LEO JULY 23 – AUG 23 Don’t underestimate how much clout you have at the moment. Combined with your huge appetite for life you’re either in the process of creating your own good luck, or events will naturally conspire to move you forwards. Either way, it’s life in the fast lane. Along the way remember that what you visualize, will materialize. VIRGO AUG 24 – SEPT 22 You’re at your most persuasive, which will be increasingly obvious as the week goes on. With others on your side a plan will finally come full circle or a positive decision can be made. Also be aware of what you don’t want. If you see that you’ve been holding on to a wish whose time is past it’s not failure, it’s liberation. LIBRA SEPT 23 – OCT 23 Credit: Not known clear with Picture Desk You’d be the first to agree that there’s such a thing as too much choice. You’re the expert at ifs and buts, especially when being careful of other people’s feelings, but you can’t sit on the fence forever. Some sense of urgency will definitely help. If it’s hard to motivate yourself then talking to a younger, busy person will inspire you. SCORPIO OCT 24 – NOV 22 You sometimes forget just how forceful a personality you really have. This week you can talk anyone into just about anything, but double check with yourself that it’s worth it. Why waste all that energy on the wrong thing? Similarly, if someone is piling on the pressure, don’t get sucked in. Simply play the cool card and keep your options open. SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 – DEC 21 If there’s one thing that drives you nuts it’s going round and round in circles but, in recent weeks, there’s been little choice in the matter. Now, however, the road ahead is getting clearer as other people’s lives and needs get sorted out. More time and freedom to do your own thing is in the making. A strong girlfriend is a fantastic ally. CAPRICORN DEC 22 – JAN 20 You’re generally not a big lover of change or risk taking but it’s a different story when you see what you want. Nobody can beat you when it comes to getting a plan together, doing the research and pinpointing your goals. You’re starting to understand too why a certain route was barred to you. Fate had different ideas and those are now taking shape. AQUARIUS JAN 21 – FEB 18 Recent events have probably played havoc with your logical streak but note to self is that everyone has their own version. Find out where someone else is coming from and you’ll then understand why they think the way they do. Rewards are taking shape, for hard work or self denial, or simply for not giving up on what you know to be right. PISCES FEB 19 – MAR 20 Nobody knows more than you do how things can unravel when you don’t listen to that inner voice. Stay tuned in. Following a hunch won’t go down well with everyone but this mustn’t be the reason why you don’t do it. Parenting is definitely part of this picture. You know your kids better than they know themselves, but just don’t say so. Horoscope traits What does your star sign mean for you?
