OUR RESIDENT ASTROLOGER PREDICTS YOUR WEEK FROM AUG 29 – SEP 4
VIRGO AUG 24 – SEP 23
You’re firing on all cylinders! Under this week’s inventive stars, problems will be seen through fresh eyes; you might even dream up a clever solution for a tricky situation – just don’t expect total support. Surround yourself with positive people and move on. If a spring fitness kick is on the agenda, some new exercise gear might get you off to a flying start. LUCKY SYMBOL: GOLD HEART SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 – DEC 21
Don’t be embarrassed, it’s your time to shine! An offer or award could make all your hard work worthwhile, while on a personal level, an invitation could send you over the moon. Chatterbox Mercury is striking up conversations at the drop of a hat (even for introverted Archers), but resist the urge to ‘overshare’ or someone’s trust could be broken. LUCKY GEMSTONE: SAPPHIRE PISCES FEB 20 – MAR 20
An offer or opportunity might get you excited and see you thinking big – just don’t let trickster Mercury lead you astray on the finance front. Caution is required, particularly under Saturday’s freewheeling stars. On the upside, markets and garage sales might feel like treasure troves. Stick to cash, and if you’re playing the dating game, stick to double dates! LUCKY FLOWER: ORCHID GEMINI MAY 22 – JUN 21
Serious? Sensible? Not likely this month! Mischievous Mars is demanding action, so find something (or someone!) that makes your pulse quicken, and leap on in. Adding to the whirl, an impromptu catch up could throw your schedule, while at home, unexpected guests might see you scrambling. Resist the urge to ‘do it all’ and keep your options open. LUCKY COLOUR: SILVERY BLUE
LIBRA SEP 24 – OCT 23
What a week of contrasts! A clash of opinions could force a showdown, but almost simultaneously, a social event or romantic date might leave you walking on air. Disperse any residual tension with an active, outdoorsy weekend; a bushwalk or picnic would be perfect, and for couples, a change of scenery might set the scene for a heartfelt conversation. LUCKY PLANT: LAVENDER CAPRICORN DEC 22 – JAN 20
Saying no can be hard for you, but it’s time to stop being the responsible one. If someone’s attitude or behaviour has been driving you nuts, pour it all out to a friend, then set some firm boundaries. Changes involving your work should leave you feeling happier this month, while on the health or fitness front, a new approach could produce impressive results. LUCKY COLOUR: AQUA BLUE ARIES MAR 21 – APR 20
Need to reboot your love life? Shaking up your usual routines should work wonders, so if you’ve fallen into a rut, start making plans. Whether you’re single or attached, September’s adventurous stars look like fun. Satisfy your growing desire for excitement by visiting somewhere unusual or join a local sporting team. As they say, you only live once! LUCKY FLOWERS: RED ROSES CANCER JUN 22 – JUL 23
Celebrate the new season by doing something special! Whether it’s a night on the town, a gourmet brunch or a romantic rendezvous, treat yourself to a dose of indulgence. With Venus fine-tuning your senses, why not road test a new perfume or update your wardrobe? As your social calendar fills up, some new accessories or evening wear might come in handy. LUCKY CRYSTAL: ROSE QUARTZ
SCORPIO OCT 24 – NOV 22
Want to get fit? Joining forces with friends or loved ones is your best strategy this month, and there could be a bonus. Lifestyle changes should draw couples closer together, while for singles, a new pastime might expand your social circle – and your dating pool. Just steer clear of malicious gossip, and don’t believe someone’s so-called ‘inside info’. LUCKY NUMBERS: 7, 15, 19, 29, 32, 39, 42 AQUARIUS JAN 21 – FEB 19
If you’ve been feeling restless (OK, that’s not unusual for you), take a leap! Many Aquarians will discover hidden reservoirs of talent through spring, so launch into something you’ve always wanted to do. If finances are creating headaches, the recent new moon could spark some clever new strategies. Bounce your ideas off someone you trust and respect. LUCKY NUMBERS: 3, 12, 18, 27, 36, 40 TAURUS APR 21 – MAY 21
Goodbye humdrum and hello excitement. September should be brimming over with activity: parties, dinners, shows, and for businessminded Bulls, wheeling and dealing. Projects launched under Friday’s fertile conditions could exceed expectations, while on the dating front, someone new might make things interesting. Dress to impress! LUCKY NUMBERS: 3, 5, 19, 28, 33, 37 LEO JUL 24 – AUG 23
Your chart is pushing you in only one direction: out of town. Even day trips should prove rejuvenating, so why not jump aboard a train or surprise some faraway friends? Outdoor activities like walking and cycling might also reel you in, along with concerts and cultural events. Keep your eyes peeled for last-minute deals or tickets towards the weekend! LUCKY NUMBERS: 4, 8, 18, 22, 38, 44
