HOROSCOPES: Composure and staying power are what you need, Gemini 

Gemini 22 MAY-21 JUNE There is no speedy solution to the problems you are facing at home or at work. With your ruler Mercury, planet of the mind, united with Pluto, planet of power, you’ll just have to grapple with them until you wear them down. Composure and staying power are the attributes you need to cultivate this week – anger and impatience the ones you need to avoid. CALL 0904 470 1163 (65p per minute)*

Cancer 22 JUNE-23 JULY For all the emotional mayhem that is taking place in your life at the moment, you are doing remarkably well not to give in to the pressure. Could it be that you’ve been hoping and praying for a little excitement and, now that it’s here, you intend to make the most of it? CALL 0904 470 1164 (65p per minute)*

Leo 24 JULY-23 AUG Don’t try to avoid people who you fear will oppose your plans and generally make life difficult for you – seek them out and force a confrontation. It may surprise you to learn that what seems important to you means nothing to a colleague or employer. False alarm. CALL 0904 470 1165 (65p per minute)*

Virgo 24 AUG-23 SEPT Contemplate the wider picture, but don’t neglect the details – especially where creative issues or affairs of the heart are concerned. Something overlooked now may not trouble you immediately, but will cause embarrassment when drawn to your attention later in the year. CALL 0904 470 1166 (65p per minute)*

Libra 24 SEPT-23 OCT Opportunity knocks this week as the Sun energises four of the five major planets. Whether you can be bothered to answer the door depends on how involved you are in activities of a more romantic nature. But there’s no need to rush – this knocking is due to continue throughout the week. CALL 0904 470 1167 (65p per minute)*

Scorpio 24 OCT-22 NOV You’ve nothing to fear and much to gain from a recent arrival in your life. They may seem a little odd or other-worldly, but you sense there is more to them than meets the eye – and you are right. Refuse to be influenced by mindless prejudices on the part of those with different agendas. CALL 0904 470 1168 (65p per minute)*

Sagittarius 23 NOV-21 DEC A little self-congratulation is called for this week. You have battled long and hard to be accepted in a hostile environment and, at last, you feel at home. Now you are one of them, you can start putting forward ideas and suggestions you wouldn’t have dared voice previously. CALL 0904 470 1169 (65p per minute)*

Capricorn 22 DEC-20 JAN Being resigned to a certain situation doesn’t mean there is nothing you can do to make it more palatable. Be creative – look into methods you would normally ignore. Something, somewhere, will help you turn a worrying situation into an inspiring and maybe even profitable one. CALL 0904 470 1170 (65p per minute)*

Aquarius 21 JAN-19 FEB The bigger the decision the longer you should take over it – even if others urge you to speed up. There is every chance that in your haste to be free of a negative situation, you will overlook something simple yet important. Check your facts before making your move. CALL 0904 470 1171 (65p per minute)*

Pisces 20 FEB-20 MARCH There’s nothing weird or magical about intuition – your subconscious mind is constantly telling you things your conscious mind finds hard to accept. Mercury allied to Pluto means you’re about to get a flash of inspiration and, no matter how bizarre, you must take it seriously. CALL 0904 470 1172 (65p per minute)*

Aries 21 MARCH-20 APRIL Despite what certain people have been telling you, there is nothing wrong with the way you have been handling career or financial problems. On the contrary, you will see or hear something this week that will confirm you were right to be cautious and cover your tracks. CALL 0904 470 1161 (65p per minute)*

Taurus 21 APRIL-21 MAY You may have to be ruthless this week – more in what you say than what you do – if you want to get things moving. Rely too much on others’ willingness to do their share without being told and you’ll fall further and further behind. You must be firm right from the start. CALL 0904 470 1162 (65p per minute)*
