Heart Evangelista

BEGINNING LATE last year, Heart commenced a rather difficult Saturn cycle, which may account for the fact that she is undergoing some troubles in her love life.

Mars will continue to bother her for the next six to eight weeks, and during this period she can expect dispute, irritability and possibly even some sort of physical mishaps. She should take care. Fortunately, after this period she will start to feel a new lease of life at the possibility of a whole new circle of friends, as well.

Aries

Friends may aggressively push you in a direction you do not want to go. If you are interested in pursuing a relationship but your peers do not agree, you need to be mindful of the so-called good advice you are being given. Any relationship verdict is your choice and yours alone. This week, make your own decisions without consulting third parties.

Taurus

With three planets occupying your sun sign this week and the moon transiting your career zone, you may find it difficult to enjoy the company of the ones you love. You need to become more efficient with the time you have. Make room in your diary to spend with your nearest and dearest. You need to use humor to lighten up an otherwise hectic and possibly stressful few days.

Gemini

Gemini, this week you can think outside the box and utilize your creative thinking to improve your relationships. If you and your partner are in a rut, it’s time to take the relationship to the next level even if you unsettle your lover by taking him or her out of their comfort zone. If you’ve been planning a trip, expect this to take a little longer than expected, but in the end your preparation will pay off.

Cancer

You need to make some serious choices this week, particularly between Sunday and Wednesday. There are good and bad friends in your circle now, and you need to be astute enough to remove those who are simply causing you grief and not really reciprocating the friendship. You are feeling as if your spiritual evolution is quickening, and you can ill afford to hang out with people who will limit you.

Leo

If a relationship or friendship is ending now, you should take this as an opportunity to open new doors and experience a whole new vista of life. There is no point arguing with someone who hasn’t got the capacity to listen or the will to change. You can only change yourself, and this week the planets indicate that you have a prime opportunity to clear the decks and start afresh.

Virgo

The opportunity to improve your skills may bring respect from those you love. Although this may be a tedious exercise to begin with, your self-respect will improve and you will see the results in all of your relationships, personal and professional. You need to be prepared to extend yourself and to try things you haven’t been accustomed to in the past. This will excite your lover, too.

Libra

You are either expecting too much of yourself or someone else you may have just met recently. Give the relationship time to mature, and don’t be hasty in drawing conclusions. What’s more, half the fun is in the chase, and if you play a little harder to get, you can expect the relationship to be all the more exciting and rewarding in the coming weeks.

Scorpio

You are forceful in demanding your needs be met in your relationships. This week, don’t be afraid to call a spade a spade, especially if someone is short-changing you emotionally. Perhaps you’re trying to be too nice and extremely patient to wait it out to see if this person will change. Will they start to give you more of what you believe you deserve? Probably not.

Sagittarius

You’re feeling extremely playful this week, with your mind wanting a variety of different sensual experiences. If you are with someone who is going through a similar cycle, you can expect this week to be a sizzler! Unfortunately, the other person is a little humdrum and not into exploring life’s possibilities, so boredom may set in, in which case you may be looking further afield to satisfy your emotional and physical appetites.

Capricorn

This week, Capricorn, you will not be able to pretend you are not angry. Others will see through the veneer of your fake smile. It is best to be honest and try to keep a measure of control over the way you present your case. Integrity seems to be your key word this week, and if you can manage to express your displeasure in a respectful way, you may be able to patch things up.

Aquarius

Someone you have great affection for may want to play the field, and this could leave you feeling as if their level of commitment is not as strong as yours. Just because they want to have fun and explore their own personal and creative identity doesn’t mean that they don’t love you. This week, it’s a case of working on your own self and developing a sense of inner security rather than relying on your partner.

Pisces

You need to get out and about this week, Pisces, as many planets transiting your zone of travel, intellectual curiosity and fun, Venus, indicate that love is high on your agenda . You need to find emotional fulfilment in areas that can make you feel socially satisfied, as well. This will be a hectic and pleasurable few days, so just be careful not to burn yourself out.

Your Karma—Q&A

Andrea, Manila. Dadhichi, for some reason, I can’t seem to find a good partner in life. As hard as I try, I seem to have “loser” written on my forehead. I would like to know when my fortunes in love will change.

Hi Andrea, it appears that you are a little abrasive in the way you speak to potential soul mates. You need to hold back a little, and don’t try too hard. Let the guy take the lead and apply the “less is more” principle to your situation. Mars will move its position shortly, indicating better luck for you. Good luck, Dadhichi
