HOROSCOPES

By Sally Brompton

LEO 24 JULY-23 AUG

There may be times during the next few days when it seems as though you are the only one with certain problems and no one else knows what you’re going through. Nothing could be further from the truth. With your ruler the Sun in your sign aligned with structured Saturn, all you have to do is ask and help will be forthcoming – possibly more than you actually want. CALL 1560 475 016* VIRGO 24 AUG-23 SEPT

Your ruler Mercury, planet of communication, turns retrograde in your birth sign today, heralding a period of misunderstandings and confusion. This means that it’s too late to change direction, at least for another few weeks. If you recently began a journey, you must ride it to the end. CALL 1560 475 017* LIBRA 24 SEPT-23 OCT

If you need to reaffirm your ambitions, this is the perfect week to do so. Your enthusiasm may have been waning of late, but it has not gone completely. All you need to do is remind yourself of your long-term goals – then the little, everyday things won’t seem quite so laborious. CALL 1560 475 018* SCORPIO 24 OCT-22 NOV

Never forget that you possess free will. This might sound obvious, but there may be times this week when it seems as if you are being swept along by forces over which you have no control. Even if that is true, there are things you can do to make it a more pleasant experience. CALL 1560 475 019* SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV-21 DEC

If something goes wrong twice in quick succession this week, you ought to know better than to tempt fate thrice. From the look of your solar chart, it would seem that the time for taking chances is over – at least until you know the nature of what you are up against. CALL 1560 475 020* CAPRICORN 22 DEC-20 JAN

You may have no reason to doubt someone’s words this week, but alarm bells ringing inside your head should be enough to persuade you to move carefully. A lack of evidence does not necessarily denote a lack of guilt – sometimes it suggests quite the opposite. CALL 1560 475 021* AQUARIUS 21 JAN-19 FEB

You may be tempted to fight fire with fire this week, especially if someone casts doubt on your integrity. But do you really need to stoop to their level to protect your reputation? More to the point, won’t that be taken by some as evidence that you have something to hide? CALL 1560 475 010* PISCES 20 FEB-20 MARCH

You have a tendency to underestimate your abilities. It’s a tendency you must try hard to overcome this week if you want to make the most of a wonderful opportunity. Someone in a position of authority is watching you closely. Make sure they like what they see. CALL 1560 475 011* ARIES 21 MARCH-20 APRIL

There is nothing you cannot do if you put your mind to it, nothing you cannot accomplish if you plan well ahead and complete your task a step at a time. Forget about achieving your goals in the next five minutes; you should be looking further ahead than that – five years at least. CALL 1560 475 012* TAURUS 21 APRIL-21 MAY

Bear in mind this week that other people need you more than you need them. That does not mean you should act the megalomaniac, but a Sun-Saturn union urges you to know your own worth and make sure you get a fair price for what you are offering. You won’t need to bargain too hard. CALL 1560 475 013* GEMINI 22 MAY-21 JUNE

This is not a week to be too adventurous. With the Sun and Saturn cutting across positive angles of your chart, you can probably take a few risks and get away with it – but you must stay within reasonable limits. Your talents may be many and varied, but only Superman can fly. CALL 1560 475 014* CANCER 22 JUNE-23 JULY

With Mercury turning retrograde, the news you receive this week may not be to your liking, but it won’t be that bad, either, so don’t get too upset. You will soon have something to cheer about, which you would have noticed already were you not in such a negative state of mind. CALL 1560 475 015*
