Star watch
VIRGO (Aug 24 to Sept 23) Today’s planetary patterns increase your desire to connect with loved ones or work colleagues in a more compassionate way. And is it time to help a close friend who’s in a spot of trouble?
LIBRA (Sept 24 to Oct 23) Is a friend or family member going through a difficult patch? Your kindness and diplomatic approach are required today, as you reach out and offer a helping hand or a shoulder to cry on.
SCORPIO (Oct 24 to Nov 22) It’s a good day to focus on improving communication with a child, lover or close friend. For some single Scorpios, love is likely with someone who has a deeply mysterious past.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23 to Dec 22) Being sensitive about a delicate family situation brings rewards today. Single? A burgeoning relationship could suddenly deepen, but make sure you are telling them the truth.
CAPRICORN (Dec 23 to Jan 20) When communicating with others, avoid getting drawn into complicated power games. Some sentimental — and brave — Capricorns will feel compelled to go back and revisit an old relationship.
AQUARIUS (Jan 21 to Feb 19) Resist the temptation to hide away from the worries of the world today. As acclaimed writer and fellow Aquarian Virginia Woolf reminds us: “You cannot find peace by avoiding life.”
PISCES (Feb 20 to Mar 20) Today’s celestial cocktail highlights your romantic, creative and spiritual sides. But it also emphasises your tendency to blend fact and fantasy, so try to keep your feet firmly on the ground.
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 20) Your inner voice will lead you in the right direction today. So when it comes to a complicated relationship issue, use your trusty intuition to help you find a satisfactory solution.
TAURUS (Apr 21 to May 20) The more creative you are at work, the better the day will be. And the more you reach out and help others, the more useful you’ll feel. Friendships with colleagues are particularly favoured.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 21) The more energy and focus you put into financial and business affairs, the more successful you’ll be. But you must also do your homework and make sure you check all minor details thoroughly.
CANCER (June 22 to July 23) Platonic relationships are very important today. You could deepen your connection with a special friend, or have a decidedly deja-vu moment when you meet someone for the first time.
LEO (July 24 to Aug 23) Expect a creativity surge, as the stars stimulate your fertile imagination. When it comes to a personal problem or a close relationship, use your intuition to work out what’s really going on.
