Here’s what the ancient Tarot cards have to say about your Sun sign for this week:

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Certain patterns keep repeating themselves in your life. People react or behave in the same old way when things get stressful. The cards urge you to recognise this pattern and see how you can change your response. A part of you may be nostalgic for the good old days. Realise times have changed. A job you may have applied for a long time ago may materialise, but it will be up to you to take it up. At work, you may find the return of an old client or may find yourself working with a former colleague again. If you’ve been feeling isolated of late, realise it’s up to you to bring changes in your personal life for greater peace and fulfilment. Throw a party, call a friend out. Money matters show growing stability. You may even find some cash you’d forgotten about.

Taurus Apr 20- May 20)

Time for you to leave a mark. Gear up for extra work, responsibilities and life-changing opportunities. Just one word of advice. Don’t be too impulsive. Think things through and if you’re not sure, seek a second opinion. Relocation, renovation and restructuring are keywords in this phase. Don’t go into the zone of self-doubt, the more you believe in your abilities, the more of a difference you can make. Loved ones will notice a new side to you, one that is more outspoken and less willing to put up with nonsense. Some may resist the change in you, but just be yourself. Financial matters require a little more attention to detail. An old injury may flare up temporarily but with timely treatment it should heal again.

Gemini (May21- June 20)

Things will begin to get better ever so gradually. Learn not to get carried away with emotions. Energies are slowly transforming, and soon you can expect some positive changes around you. Something you’ve been struggling for a while with does get resolved. A misunderstanding gets cleared with an honest, heart-to-heart chat. And an old friend from the past reconnects with you. Try and find the bright spot in this period. There’s so much to be grateful for. Acts of charity or doing voluntary work for a cause you believe in bring good karma your way. You may participate in a spiritual workshop or a religious ceremony. Money matters reveal a need to balance your expenses better.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Perhaps you’re too sensitive. Or perhaps you’re getting easily triggered by other people’s behaviour. Time to slow down and take stock of the situation as it is. Even your dreamy side gets activated in the days ahead. And you may find yourself in some fantasy land as well. Don’t get carried away and remember to keep yourself grounded as well. A chance encounter with an attractive stranger could lead to a crush of a lifetime or a romance. You decide. The health of a family member could cause some concern. Don’t worry, they will recuperate. Sleep patterns may go a little haywire. Watch out for seasonal allergies.

Leo (July 23- Aug 22)

If you’re normally impatient, then expect a time of tests. Count to 10 and expect sudden delays. People may annoy you with their tardiness and their excuses. The family may just get your goat with their quirks. While you’re brewing inside, do remember to do something about stress levels. Go for a walk or a jog. Or just head to the spa. The world needs your talents now, and you can’t afford to let anyone down. An important event may be in the offing, and you could go in for a makeover or splurge on new clothes to look your best. Old friends bring some important news. Health matters show a need to slow down periodically and be in the moment. Money matters show a need to restrain yourself from overspending.

Virgo (Aug 23- Sept 22)

Go on and take a leap of faith. You could end up somewhere better than you expected to. Even if it means giving up something that feels routine. Realise that in the long run, you will benefit from this leap. It could be accepting a job in a different industry. Or committing yourself to someone who’s your opposite. Learning a new skill or hobby. Just don’t hold back. Speak out your doubts and go and follow your heart. A great period for catching up with old friends and loved ones. Energy favours new connections and associations and you may consider joining a new club, or group of like-minded people. Holiday plans may be postponed for now due to work demands. Money matters show steady growth.

Libra (Sept 23- Oct 22)

Time to consciously practice self-care. Put your needs first and see what it is that you need to do to find happiness and fulfilment. At work, you may feel like your heart is no longer in the job, and you may think about taking a long break to do some soul-searching. Wise advice and inspiration may arise from the most unlikely places. Or a heart-to-heart conversation with someone may renew bonds of love and trust. Singles may postpone the idea of marriage for now till they feel a little more settled and ready for responsibility. Alternative therapies bring a deep sense of peace and inner healing. Money that was owed to you will be returned.

Scorpio (Oct 23- Nov21)

Progress is best achieved through discipline. Create a plan of action or stick to a routine. A lot needs to be done and who else, but you can do it. Busy days at work will be fruitful as you manage to leave a good impression on your seniors and your customers. A lot can be accomplished and rewards may come your way shortly. In your personal life, express gratitude to your loved ones for their support and encouragement. Someone may need a little pampering, and you may splurge on buying them a gift. Health matters show progress.

Saggittarius (Nov 22- Dec 21)

Now’s your time to realise your full potential, follow your instincts and act on your hunches – a time for spontaneity, fun and surprises. Look forward to lively interactions with new people and don’t be surprised if you become the centre of attraction. Just watch out for bouts of impulsiveness. Don’t shoot off your mouth before thinking about other’s feelings. Any decisions made now should be based on experience and knowledge of self or after the guidance of an objective advisor. In matters of the heart, someone special may be a little sensitive right now, so do pay attention to the cues they give you silently and remember to tread carefully with them. The last thing you want right now is an argument or to hurt another. Money matters show steady gains.

Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan19)

If you don’t ask, you won’t get it. Be bold. Decide on what exactly you need from your bosses, your team, your family and state it clearly. If something isn’t working, you need to find new techniques and solutions if you want to make good progress. A little fact-finding should help you get the answers you seek. Money matters expect progress in this period of change. If self-employed, you may now get a large assignment from a new client that pays you a generous fee. If you applied for a big loan, it may come now or within the next few weeks. A friend or family member may say or do something hurtful without even realising it. Just don’t take it personally and focus on peace. Health matters show slow progress.

Aquarius (Jan 20- Feb 18)

Harmony at last. After all the trials and tribulations you’ve seen in the past months, this phase sees you settling down to a new routine, job or relationship. Peace will be even more important to you than ever before, and you may go to any lengths to avoid conflict and confrontation. Just don’t keep resentment and anger inside. Health may be an area of concern, especially if you are prone to coughs and colds. A visit overseas may set you thinking of resettling or relocating to a new land. Make sure you rest a lot between projects or after work. Students have the potential to excel this year provided they stay disciplined.

Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20)

Be a little more tolerant. Especially if you have been too rigid lately about your needs, wants and demands. The card of will and dominance reminds you that though you may have authority and ambition, you still need to understand and learn more about the feelings of others. Sensitivity does not make you weaker, it only makes more people align and support you. Your personal life may see its share of tense moments as you and your better half engage in power struggles. Someone needs to let go and move on. Health matters require a little more self-discipline. Money matters and needs you to be a lot more giving.
