HOROSCOPES by Sally Brompton

By Sally Brompton

LIBRA 24 SEPT-23 OCT

No one can persuade you that a certain course of action will be good for you – but you can persuade yourself. With Venus and Mars in the most sensitive area of your chart opposing Neptune, planet of illusion, you seem to feel that if you agree to what a partner or friend is proposing, you will lose your authority. Not so – it will just show that you have good sense. CALL 1560 475 018* SCORPIO 24 OCT-22 NOV

If you have to abandon something that you’re enjoying, make sure that you are compensated for the sacrifice. Although you are willing to alter your plans to help someone close to you, giving in too easily will send the wrong signal. What you lose in one area, you must gain in another. CALL 1560 475 019* SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV-21 DEC

If you make it obvious that you want something that you don’t possess, then those who can give it to you may suddenly decide to keep it for themselves. Pretend that you are not really bothered what happens next – then you can subtly manipulate the situation. CALL 1560 475 020* CAPRICORN 22 DEC-20 JAN

You have much to do just now, but don’t get so caught up in the daily hustle that you fail to heed your inner voice. With inspirational Neptune so active in your chart, an idea that appears out of nowhere could transform your life. Give yourself the time and space to do it justice. CALL 1560 475 021* AQUARIUS 21 JAN-19 FEB

You may be more cooperative than some, but you also need personal freedom, which can lead to trouble when you decide to do something different without telling anyone. If you want to avoid problems this week, you must spell out what you are trying to achieve. CALL 1560 475 010* PISCES 20 FEB-20 MARCH

There is no need to feel threatened by something that you know nothing about. Just because it is outside your normal range of experience does not make it a threat. Embrace the new and you could become involved in something that brings you a great deal of personal pleasure. CALL 1560 475 011* ARIES 21 MARCH-20 APRIL

Quality of life is vital so don’t get so engrossed in work that you leave no time to enjoy yourself. You may be reluctant to delegate your responsibilities despite offers of help, but when you find yourself overtaken by tiredness, you must stop trying to do it all yourself. CALL 1560 475 012* TAURUS 21 APRIL-21 MAY

Venus, your ruler, and Mars oppose Neptune this week, which suggests that you may benefit from associating with people who inspire you, creatively and romantically. You don’t have to act outrageously, but you do have to open your mind to ideas that others may frown on. CALL 1560 475 013* GEMINI 22 MAY-21 JUNE

You may not be able to change the habits of a lifetime, but you can change a number of minor things that are irritating you. In fact, the first thing that you must do this week is ignore what a colleague or relative is trying to tell you – it may be more for their benefit than for yours. CALL 1560 475 014* CANCER 22 JUNE-23 JULY

A last-minute setback could cause a major rethink of social or travel plans this week and no doubt, having been let down before, it will be easy to get angry. Before you do, remind yourself how tough life is for a certain individual. No one is being deliberately difficult. CALL 1560 475 015* LEO 24 JULY-23 AUG

No opportunity comes entirely free of charge – you always have to pay something for your lucky breaks. The costs and benefits of taking a certain course of action are laid out in front of you – nothing is hidden. All you have to do now is decide, on balance, if it is worth the sacrifice. CALL 1560 475 016* VIRGO 24 AUG-23 SEPT

The truth may hurt, but it will hurt even more if you don’t say what you really think to spare someone’s feelings. Someone you like, trust and admire has been a bit too gullible of late. You must point out where they are going wrong, even at the risk of losing their friendship. CALL 1560 475 017*
