Starwatch

VIRGO (Aug 24 to Sept 23)

A lucky opportunity — of a financial or professional nature — may come your way very soon. However, you must reach out and grab it pronto, otherwise it will pass you by. Calm confidence is the key.

LIBRA (Sept 24 to Oct 23)

Venus and Jupiter boost your confidence levels, Libra. You are also keen to pitch in and help someone in need. However, don’t end up overcommitting, and promising more than you can practically deliver.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 to Nov 22)

Get things off your chest, and be more open with your feelings. Some friends and colleagues will be sympathetic, so don’t be afraid to let down your defences and tell them how you really feel.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23 to Dec 22)

Your patron planet Jupiter links up with Venus, so you’re at your lovable best as you socialise up a storm. Your enthusiasm, optimism and generosity are exactly what’s needed at the moment.

CAPRICORN (Dec 23 to Jan 20)

Focus on boosting your cash flow in creative and proactive ways, doing something you really love. Perhaps you could set up an online store, tutor others, or even start a mini-business from home.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21 to Feb 19)

Venus is in your relationship zone until September 20, so the quickest way to romantic heaven is to smoke the peace pipe with your partner. Singles, look for a creative Virgo or a sexy Scorpio.

PISCES (Feb 20 to Mar 20)

Pliable Pisces, you have a tendency to avoid problems and bury your head firmly in the sand. Today’s stars encourage you to approach a current challenge head-on, in a creative and co-operative way.

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 20)

Attached Aries, keep the communication flowing with your partner, be generous, and don’t take them for granted. Unhappily single? Look for lasting love with a lusty Leo or a sensual Sagittarius.

TAURUS (Apr 21 to May 20)

You are feeling generous today and your friendly Venusian vibes will attract positive people into your world. Also, keep your local community connections going. Who knows where they may lead?

GEMINI (May 21 to June 21)

You are in the mood for mega fun and entertainment today, Twins. However, some forethought and planning are required so you can capitalise on your energy surge, and avoid making messy mistakes.

CANCER (June 22 to July 23)

Has life at “Casa Cancer” become too predictable and pedestrian? It’s time to introduce an international flavour to the mix, as you reconnect with an overseas contact or plan a holiday for some time soon.

LEO (July 24 to Aug 23)

Have you been putting off projects that need to be attended to ASAP? Today’s stars encourage you to balance rest and relaxation with plenty of dynamic action. Think things through, and then act.
