Forecast Week Beginning 21st April 2014

ARIES:  (Born between 21^st March & 20^th April)

You could feel history is repeating itself in some way when it comes to a position you find yourself in related to the expectations others have.  The difference now is that you have developed a strong degree of independence in some way.  Obligations are involved.  How you control this will result in how you will build up future growth.

TAURUS:  (Born between 21^st April & 20^th May) 

At last you will feel as though there is some forward movement in life.  Mercury, the planet of thought and communication moves into your sign until the 8^th May, creating clarity of mind, as well as the opportunity to focus on yourself and things you consider personally important.  Interaction with others is steady and stable.

GEMINI:  (Born between 21^st May & 20^th June)

Expect to feel held back at times until early May.  Your energy level will be low, so it would be wise to get more rest.  This is a good time to withdraw to some degree so that you can reflect upon where things seem to stand in life.  There may be the need to let things go, or bring something to an end in preparation for new beginnings.

CANCER:  (Born between 21^st June & 22^nd July)

An important year began for you late last June and will continue to late July 2014.  Right now powerful forces are operating that have not occurred before in life and will not again.  You are in a unique position to secure your future with the support of someone influential.  You can over-ride any attempted undermining by someone.

LEO:  (Born between 23^rd July & 22^nd August)

At the moment you need to focus on obligations that have to be dealt with – it may all seem a slow process.  It is just a matter of keeping on, keeping on.  The future has much promise, which will likely involve radical change.  It is as if you can sense this but cannot be completely sure about how it will all take place.  Have faith.

VIRGO:  (Born between 23^rd August & 22^nd September)

Doubts about where you stand will cease as you begin to gain a clearer picture of what is possible to acquire in the future.  You could also decide on taking up a course to develop skills that will be helpful in fulfilling your goals.  Discussions with others can be very helpful, mainly because they have a greater sense of possibilities.

LIBRA:  (Born between 23^rd September & 22^nd October)

Challenges you have had to face since early December can reach a sudden turning point that could see you taking action you had not earlier anticipated.  Be mindful of not becoming overburdened because of somebody else expecting greater freedom.  Your answers will come from focussing on what is manageable on a daily basis.

SCORPIO:  (Born between 23^rd October & 21^st November)

Tension continues to build up as well as the need to keep your own counsel for a while yet.  Other people are beginning to come out in the open more and this will make it easier for you to see whom you can trust.  It will not be difficult to engage them in conversation.  There is also the opportunity for pleasure and enjoyment.

SAGITTARIUS:  (Born between 22^nd November & 21^st December)

Time spent at home or with family will prove rewarding, even if it is only to recharge your batteries.  You could come across people from the past.  Something about them is not what you expected.  There is a need for you to deal with details in a methodical and practical manner until early May.  Not doing this will bring regrets.

CAPRICORN:  (Born between 22^nd December & 19^th January)

Maintaining control of your own position will be strongly tested by what might seem generosity from others but will likely mask what they really want from you.  You must resist falling back into old habit patterns when it comes to accepting obligations.  You can liberate yourself once and for all by putting your priorities first.

AQUARIUS:  (Born between 20^th January & 18^th February)

You can become more settled of mind about the most sensible way to structure things, especially when it comes to home and family matters, to early May.  You won’t find your mind jumping from one thing to another as it has been.  If you are mindful of spending, you will discover ways of making your money go further.

PISCES:  (Born between 19^th February & 20^th March)

Whatever you sense is achievable in the future needs to be backed up by some well structured planning.  This could also include gathering information of a practical nature.  Persistence is the key to improving your situation.  You have skills to see what is possible but do not always recognise the amount of work required to do this.
