Star watch

CANCER (June 22 to July 23)

Rather than being a cantankerous Crab, strive to be clever, caring and kind. Venus gives social media a welcome boost, as you connect with family, friends and colleagues from near and far.

LEO (July 24 to Aug 23)

Venus visits your cash zone, which is usually lucky financially. But don’t be an extravagant Cat! You’ll find the more you respect and conserve money, the more cash will come your way.

VIRGO (Aug 24 to Sept 23)

Venus is visiting your sign until August 6. So you’re the quintessential Virgo at the moment as your kind, clever, cultured and charming nature is on display for the whole world to see.

LIBRA (Sept 24 to Oct 23)

Your natural Libran powers of persuasion are firing. So it’s a terrific time to pitch an idea or ask for a favour, as Venus helps you intuitively know the right thing to say to the right person.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 to Nov 22)

Networking — in person and via social media — is a wonderful way to get your message across. When it comes to money matters, don’t rush. Make sure you read all the fine print carefully.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23 to Dec 22)

Peacemaker Venus is visiting your career zone. Which will help you approach professional tasks with more creativity, and also lead to improved relationships with work colleagues.

CAPRICORN (Dec 23 to Jan 20)

Clever Capricorn, fabulous professional opportunities are around — but you have to work out the perfect time to strike. Look to a friend from foreign shores for some astute business advice.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21 to Feb 19)

With Venus visiting your cash zone, beware the tendency to be extravagant and overspend. An enjoyable shopping spree now could end up being a serious problem further down the track.

PISCES (Feb 20 to Mar 20)

Have you been arguing with a loved one or business partner? Venus encourages you to be more diplomatic and consultative. Sometimes you need to lose a minor battle in order to win the war.

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 20)

From today until August 6, pleasure planet Venus blesses your health, daily routine, relations with work colleagues, and your relationship with your favourite fourlegged friend. So enjoy!

TAURUS (Apr 21 to May 20)

Venus, your patron planet, shifts into your entertainment zone. So it’s time to enjoy the good things in life, like good food, fine wine, socialising, shopping, plus hair and beauty treatments.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 21)

Restless Twins aren’t particularly house proud. But with Venus moving into your home zone, it’s a terrific time to spruce up your domestic abode and entertain in style. Fresh flowers are a must!
