AQUARIUS

21 JAN – 18 FEB A friend may be in dire need of money and could be pressing your guilt buttons to assist. It’s your decision if you want to engage in a charitable act, but preferably don’t do it out of guilt. You may find you have a secret admirer, which will leave you feeling flattered. But it’s best to leave it at that instead of initiating something that eventually will only lead to heartache. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 13, 41, 46, 49, 44, 29

PISCES

19 FEB – 20 MARCH If someone whom you have work ties with is making you feel inadequate about your contribution at work, you need to find a way to stand up for yourself against these bullying tactics. The support that you’re seeking from a friend may not be forthcoming. It’s not because your friend doesn’t care, but it’s likely that they’re pre-occupied elsewhere. There’s a great lesson to be learnt in being self-reliant. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 2, 19, 29, 44, 25, 14

ARIES

21 MARCH – 19 APRIL Bide your time with the lack of progress at work as your natural impatience isn’t going to turn the tide in your favour. Now is not the time to waste money on dead-end projects, but rather preserve, save, and invest what you have. You currently have a greater than usual need for a bit of escapism. Find healthy ways of doing so by means of exercise, yoga, or meditation. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 1, 21, 39, 41, 26, 14

TAURUS

20 APRIL – 20 MAY You might be longing or yearning for the company of somebody who livesfar away.Itmaybetimetoinvestinup-to-datetechnology such as a smartphone or tablet for better communication. But beware of breaking the bank – and don’t even think of borrowing money from a friend. Your partner is bound to find out and that will only lead to further complications between the two of you. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 13, 29, 42, 49, 33, 20

GEMINI

21 MAY – 20 JUNE You often have as many ideas and solutions at hand as the number of problems you encounter. How you and your partner share financial contributions and responsibilities is at the top of your agenda. There’s no miracle solution to solving your problems and shifting blame will only worsen your relationship. Find a way to effectively deal with their anger. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 6, 19, 30, 38, 20, 7

CANCER

21 JUNE – 21 JULY Remind yourself that the misunderstandings or problems you’re experiencing in your love life now may only be temporary. It may still be a while before things get ironed out between you, so best to tread water and not to make any long-term or final decisions. If you find it difficult to concentrate on your job, it’s an indication that you need a vacation or even a short weekend break. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 1, 10, 13, 48, 11, 5

LEO

22 JULY – 22 AUG Even though relationships are strained at work, you must find a way to deal with it while getting on with the task at hand. It’s not an easy thing for egocentric Leo to deal with, but then again you’re a natural actor. The one thing that’ll take your mind off the current issues is to increase your leisure and pleasure time. Just be mindful that you don’t fall into a pattern that could become addictive. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 1, 11, 23, 24, 22, 3

VIRGO

23 AUG – 22 SEPT It’s understandable that one may doubt one’s abilities from time to time. You tend to be self-critical by nature, so instead of running yourself down, try to identify activities that you enjoy and focus on getting better at those. There’s no point in doing something you don’t enjoy. Someone at home could be acting a little out of character, but do you really want to become the rescuer? YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 1, 18, 37, 47, 36, 2

LIBRA

23 SEPT – 22 OCT Things might seem to go smoothly at home, but it may be all on the surface and there’s little substance. It’s not always a bad thing if things unravel, provided you have the stamina to put it together again. If you feel your partner is putting pressure on you to act in a way that’s contrary to your nature, you have to speak up. It may have been unintentional. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 3, 46, 5, 15, 49, 23

SCORPIO

23 OCT – 21 NOV If things aren’t going to plan, be patient. This especially relates to matters of communication where you may be misinterpreted. Try not to waste energy on righting this wrong. Be wary of seeking escapist activities as a means of compensating for the frustration. You could be throwing good money away on pointless activities. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 4, 11, 28, 33, 25, 10

SAGITTARIUS

22 NOV – 20 DEC This isn’t the best time to make long-term financial plans or to spend capital on a dicey purchase or project. Rather hang on to what you’ve got. With Mars still marching through your sign, you could feel motivated and energetic, but also angry and argumentative. You need to balance these emotions without feeling you’re making unnecessary sacrifices. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 2,13,26,44,14,10
