Pet Horoscopes




Aries: It looks like being an action packed week and the thought of having to put yourself in battle mode suits you just fine! Whether or not anyone realises it, you’ll be the one directing matters and leading everyone to the highest fulfilment of each of their roles. You can expect much animated conversation amongst your companions, but few are foolish enough to question your tactics; they all know you’re a master of military strategy and if this contest’s to be won, they need to follow you!


Taurus: It’s always pleasant when you’re the recipient of treats for no apparent reason, but though you enjoy these offerings, you may not enjoy the bustle of people coming and going. Just when you were hoping to spend a little quiet time, a stream of friends all want to pet or play with you. With everyone offering you things to eat, take care not to overdo; your tummy sends warnings when it’s time to stop and you’ll certainly feel better later if you listen!


Gemini: How disconcerting to be unexpectedly slighted, especially when you felt you were loved by all and are now sitting on the sidelines. Take it as the normal cycle of change and enjoy the breathing space this shift in attention offers you. With the two sides of your nature you’re armed to adapt to new circumstances as well as any pet could. Belief in how special you are keeps you fortified while you wait for your humans to come along with a treat for you!


Cancer: Cheerful people are the best companions for you now; they encourage your social side and tickle your funny side. Welcome all the activities they involve you in and make new friendships the main theme of your current adventures. The bonus here is that you can get healthy exercise in the process of enjoying excursions around town. Though there will be some differences in what you and your friends are in the mood for, you’ll finally come up with options that everyone can agree on.



Leo: With lovely people smiling all around you you’d be doing everyone a favour if you smiled back; why ignore the sweet attention you’re getting? Rather than retreating when friends come to call, you come out and let them get a good look at you. This gives you the chance to get an equally good look at them and to make plans for how you’ll handle their next visit, should they care to call again. You’re rarely happier than when you have a chance to show off at home.



Virgo: When your family puts their travel plans on hold it comes as something of a disappointment, but even if you can’t venture toward distant shores for the present time, you can lead your humans on a journey of imagination. You’re a natural grand planner, so stop roaming listlessly around the house and find something interesting to do. Perform some of the tricks you learned watching clever animals on TV; this pleasantly distracts your housemates from their troubles and gets them laughing.



Libra: Who wants to keep their feet on the ground when there’s so much fun to be had imitating Superman! Have you taken flight in hopes of capturing someone’s attention or are you just playing with a passing bee or ladybug? Your companion always thought you were adorable, but now questions what exactly you’re trying to do; find ways to let them know. Keep up a healthy exercise program bearing in mind that dashing around the house comes with the risk of accidents or breakage!



Scorpio: Though you pay attention well and notice everything, you now see your humans have also picked up this habit and are currently watching your every move. Did you do something that created a negative outcome; has your companion a reason to be worried you’ll attempt it again? If not, what could have made your housemate keep such a close eye on you? Solve the mystery of their concern; then enact a new plan to show you can be on your best behaviour at all times.



Sagittarius: You did it again; you’ve made yourself the subject of a disagreement among your humans. The people in the heat of the argument could use your input, if only you could speak, but being unable to do so, you must find another way to intervene. Marvellously you’re inspired with a creative way of communicating. While you work on this, do what you can to keep the humans involved in the discussion at a distance; once your plan is executed, peace descends on your household.



Capricorn: All that hard work you’ve been doing has taken a toll on your appearance and it’s time you took notice and corrected the matter. It’s always a good idea to look your best; if you fix yourself up a little now you’ll be ready to face a delightful mid week encounter and you’ll be glad you’re in such tip-top condition when you meet new friends. If your current scruffiness is too extreme to be remedied at home, turn yourself over for professional treatment!



Aquarius: A battle for ownership is about to begin and any aggressive behaviour on your part will be interpreted in that light. If you take action to claim something, if you start a fight, even a playful one with a friend, it’s likely to get disagreeable and you could be the one who pays the price. Keep offensive moves to a minimum, as no one wants chaos in the house. It will be a while before this situation dissipates, till then try to think uplifting thoughts!



Pisces: You could just relax and let others do for you, but your inclination to protect your human family is potent, leading you to spring into action at the first sign of trouble. If any youngsters are spending time in your home, you’ll be particularly attuned to their needs, whether they actually live there or not. In many ways you’re taking on more responsibility and expanding your idea of family to include some who aren’t real relations.
