Cancer

June 22 to July 23

A spirited discussion could boost a friend’s morale, and inspire them to keep going. But with the focus on potent Scorpio, your attitude to someone else may need a firmer edge. If it seems that they are being difficult or controlling, then it might be time to strengthen your boundaries, even if you’re reluctant to. There’s potential for a dynamic collaboration with the right person, Cancer.

Libra

September 24 to October 23

A decision may be needed to stop procrastinating and get on with a task. The cosmos hints that just making a start and not having high expectations could help resolve such matters. Plus, a romantic bond might be uncomfortable because you’re reluctant to handle an issue that feels so very personal. Yet if you want to take things further, this is one of the first things to address.

Scorpio

October 24 to November 22

It would be no surprise if you felt on edge, especially if a matter you thought you’d dealt with shows up again. The coming week or so can be an opportunity to look at it, as there may be an advantage to diving in and taking positive action. In fact, what seemed like a major challenge could bring out hidden strengths and talents, and a tremendous sense of empowerment.

Sagittarius

November 23 to December 21

This can be an excellent time to become acquainted with new people, especially if they share certain interests. If there’s one person with whom you cannot seem to strike a chord or feel awkward around, then give it time Archer, as it could soon be a different story. And as planets move deeper into your spiritual zone, dreams can seem fascinating and deeply informative.

Capricorn

December 22 to January 21

A deal may be struck because you’re impressed by someone and find them an inspiration. This could work both ways though, as your presence might motivate them. Whatever the scenario, you and another can have a natural chemistry that allows you to work well together or to enjoy each other’s company. Being around them may encourage you to commit to something ambitious.
