Two wonderful influences float your way this week. Affectionate and sociable Venus moves into your sign on Thursday to stay for several weeks. Looking great, bouncing with seductive charm, you will be on the receiving end of compliments galore and not a few enticing invitations. You will also be called on to act as a peacemaker at points. Your normally direct approach will be softer. Great news about money should not send you out

A gloriously exuberant combination of energetic Mars and lucky Jupiter in your own sign will put you in brighter spirits than for a while. You will want to bound out into new schemes and scoop companions up in your heady enthusiasm. Just be slightly wary since dreary Saturn is trailing just behind so what expands too fast could have to contract just as fast. Socially there will seem to be fewer parties on the go than usual, but this is only a


temporary blip. GEMINI

What a relief it will be to have the intensity lift with close partners and to be out socialising as widely as you wish again.

Close relationships have not been easy so far this year and you know you need to be cautious about your commitments. The brakes can be put on some schemes by those who are rather demanding. At work the mood will lighten considerably, with perhaps even a mild flirtation on the go. Your
