Use your powers of initiative and cerebral prowess to overcome any stubborn hurdles and transform your life. A clash of interests puts a strain on a relationship or business but with your luck and fortitude there is no need to give up. Your optimism will help you through any hard times.

Family affairs prosper under a positive light but a need to express yourself loudly and clearly in order to be heard shouldn’t be taken lightly. If you feel strongly enough about something let it rip, as only by standing up for what you believe in will you convince folk you are in earnest.

Diverse and clever thinking helps you turn a failure into a success and the result is you make your mark and gain the appreciation you deserve. But let it go to your head and an attempt at another feat, that’s beyond your reach or capabilities, could be your downfall. Quit whilst you’re ahead.

Cash in on the chance to earn extra money but don’t spoil it by splashing out or putting every last buck into an insecure investment. Neither should you over-reach yourself by believing you are qualified or able to do something you simply aren’t cut out to do. Box clever to stay in credit.

Opportunity knocks so open the door but don’t invite anything or anyone new into your life until you have seen the whites of their eyes. Romance holds exciting possibilities but shun emotional risks, instead play a waiting game and see if you still feel the same about someone in a few days from now.

New home arrangements cause touchy emotional reactions leaving you wondering whether it’s ever possible to please everyone or are you just their patsy? Being appreciated doesn’t cost a lot but it does mean a lot, and unless you get the sign that you mean something to someone, you’ll be off.

Dismiss thoughts of routine, domestic or working commitments for there is something much more exciting in the air. It only takes a little courage to set you off driving down untried roads. Something you have desired for a long time becomes yours in an unexpected way but is all the more precious as a result.

You do like to be in control; not easy when you’re being swept along by the tides, and change is due more to serendipity than planning. You now see the fruits of past hard work which manifest in breathtaking yet nerve-wracking chances you hadn’t envisioned or prepared for. The Scorpio who dares, wins.

If you’re trying to reevaluate your world as a whole, an awareness of your own limitations will be of worth. You need something to boost your self-esteem and self- confidence and a simple adjustment in your basic philosophy of life will be the first step to a more fulfilling future.

The planets rejuvenate you from within, empowering you with the will to stand up for your rights if you are embroiled in a conflict of egos or interests. Don’t underestimate some of the extravagant ideas discussed this weekend as with your drive, you can make the impossible happen.

The best things in life are free; tell that to someone who does their best to persuade you into putting money into a risky venture. Unorthodox investment ideas requires more than just guts, there must be a certain amount of wisdom too. Check the form book and use commonsense before backing any hot tip.

You can’t turn your enthusiasm on to order this weekend. The more someone demands of you, the more something inside will start to rebel. Your reactions will cause a minor sensation as you’re usually so passive and docile - but it’s a case of no more Mr (or Ms) Nice Guy, you’ve had enough.
