Here are your horror-scopes, including suggestions for where to drown those mystical sorrows when you find out what you're *really* in for this week.
PISCES
Pisces, the start of a new month means a reinvigoration of your love and social life! That means it’s time to pull yourself out of that monotonous routine, and try do things a little differently. No more cruising to that same convenience store for a feed, time to check out some of Auckland’s trendy lunch spots.
Where you need to go this week: How about this new venue to hit up with your mates?
ARIES
You’ve been channelling an independent state of mind for the past few months. But with the shifts of planetary powers, you need to let go of that self-interest and think about those around you. Next time you buy some sweets from Petal Cupcakes, maybe grab some for your friends too? Wouldn’t kill you.
Where you need to go this week: How convenient, Petal Cupcakes has just opened up its second location!
TAURUS
Your 4th house of home and family is becoming powerful this week, so make sure things are in check at your crib.

LEO

VIRGO
