Your weekly horoscope: October 28 - November 3 2018
What do the stars hold in store for you?
SCORPIO
October 23 - November 21
The relationship planet is still on the fritz and you're still wondering what the heck has happened to your love life. Give it a couple of weeks and you'll be back on a level playing field. By then, of course, you'll doubtless have revised your list of desires. For now, behave as though everything is exactly as it's supposed to be. Charm your way in and out of every heart - but focus your attention on success.
SAGITTARIUS
November 22 - December 21
Something interesting - but not necessarily right - is coming your way. And don't kid yourself either. Your powers of discrimination are at their weakest, and that deranged ego is currently running the show. If you're unsure then, say 'no' to everything. Offers being made now, will return in different forms - by which time you'll have a better idea of what you want.
CAPRICORN
December 22 - January 19
Just because your world has slowed down, doesn't mean it's not moving. Even so, you're frustrated. How about a little anger management while you wait for the old familiar panic to return. A massage maybe? Or a weekend off? Either way, there's no point fretting about things you can't control. All you need to know is that your career is going exactly where it needs to.
AQUARIUS
January 20 - February 18
Your personal life is the one thing that seems to be going really well. By now, your buddies are used to your weirdness - and keen to spend time with you anyway. But that's probably because you're so fascinating. Make them and their help welcome. You're not the only one who wants to make a difference. So be grateful for everything that comes your way - and think of it as a gift from the universe.
PISCES
February 19 - March 20
How much more political correctness can you stand? Or have you already reached a point where you're paralysed by your own fear of upsetting anyone. Enough of that. This is one of those weeks when knowing the right people - and opening your mouth to speak - will get you where you need to go. There are people who genuinely want to help you now. So let them.
ARIES
March 21 - April 19
Torn between taking a hard-earned break and pursuing a whole bunch of fabulous ideas that have suddenly come up? Actually, you're not that torn. You know precisely what you have to do: make the most of the new goodies coming your way - even at the risk of mild exhaustion. Okay, severe exhaustion. But this is where you get to pull out those hidden reserves.
TAURUS
April 20 - May 20
Relationships aren't as fabulous as they could be, but that's not your fault. The planets are still playing weird games - until mid-November - so watch your mouth. It's not always necessary to actually SAY what you're thinking. Otherwise, this is a great week, and you're finally ready for anything. Those moves which took huge effort before, suddenly seem easy. You're wondering what you were worried about.
GEMINI
May 21 - June 20
Amazingly, it's not actually your job to keep everyone happy. Sometimes, you need a moment to yourself. And sometimes, you'd rather hang out with one person at a time - instead of a boatload. For once, this isn't about what they want. This is selfish week - deciding what you need, so you have the enthusiasm to give them what they want. Within reason.
CANCER
June 21 - July 22
Longing for some alone time? And there's still a whole family - complete with mother-in-law - to cook for? Enough of that. They're not cripples. They can make their own dinner. Just pick up some cash, grab your keys, and bounce out of the room. They do it all the time. Go have some fun. See a movie. Visit a friend. Do whatever you would actually LIKE to do. You're being abused.
LEO
July 23 - August 22
These days you're pretty good with the advice. The only snag: you never listen to your own wisdom - which means it always takes a little longer for sanity to prevail. Still, the changes at work are pretty much out of your control. So your only option there is to adjust your attitude to what amounts to compulsory transformation. And to remember that change is a natural part of life. If you're self-employed, you'll do brilliantly.
VIRGO
August 23 - September 22
Frankly, the rest of the year will be somewhat strange for you - and you'll just have to make the best. Next year starts on a deliciously high note - so hang in until the party. For now, complain less and create more. Just because the rest of the world has lost the plot doesn't mean you have to. Everyone's looking for a leader - especially at work - and this is your chance.
LIBRA
September 23 - October 22
Creative brilliance is all very well. But what you need now is a safe practical approach. So fix your books, pay your bills and come up with a new strategy. You'll be so impressed with yourself when your life is all neatly wrapped up in a bow. After that, how about a hot date? Relationships are hopeless now - but passionate nights are what the doctor ordered. Feel free to misbehave.
