Virgo August 24 – September 23

A major developmen­t at work could see you burning the candle at both ends. Keep a good home balance by explaining the reasons to loved ones. Finances need attention but you may already have put in the groundwork. In an exciting week for your social life, be more prepared to accept invitation­s even if they are casual. Someone with an eye on the future could offer a position. Your Luck: Try not to have preconceiv­ed ideas about what you can do.

Scorpio October 24 – November 22

It is a great time for sharing your talents. Really, you can be quite an inspiratio­n! Over time you may have let a talent drop because it had no financial value. Look again. Fashions have changed and some old ideas do turn out to be the best. Being super-organised means the chance to spend more time with friends working on a holiday jaunt. Good friends make for good fun. Your Luck: New surroundin­gs at the weekend remind you of family fun in the past.

Sagittariu­s November 23 – December 21

This is an ideal week for spending quality time with the family and friends. Do you remember fun? Have some! There is time for work and a time for play. Sometimes these can get very muddled up, can’t they? Let us look at what is important and think back to the beginning. Has so very much changed? Being so good at knowing what you want, that is unlikely. Your Luck: Keep an eye on your talents and update them. You will be called to use them.

Capricorn December 22 – January 20

Someone who relies on you at work could be singing your praises. That is not a reason to take unfair advantage though. Your kindness sometimes overcomes your common sense. An exciting turn of events during a holiday makes you realise just how lucky you are. You may joke about all the things you would have if you won the lottery, but don’t you have them already? Your Luck: A jaunt that you used to enjoy as a child now seems to be on offer. Why not?

Aquarius January 21 – February 19

Work may be demanding but the rewards are high. Even so, keeping a balance between work and home can be tricky. Good to be in demand, isn’t it? There is something that you would much rather concentrat­e on right now. Could it be moved into the weekend or the beginning of next week? Not enough hours in the day? I know how you feel! Your Luck: Making the most of an invitation probably means giving out an invitation yourself. Go on. Don’t be shy.

Pisces February 20 – March 20

Lazy feelings contribute to a holiday mood. Just a few things to clear up before you relax though? Get them done pronto for really relaxed frame of mind. Of course there is always someone who wants you to do something for them. Either delay or make it snappy. Your conscience will tell you what is right. Trying to please everyone? Not very likely however hard you try. Your Luck: Having to make a stand will only wind you up when you want to be relaxed. Give way.

Aries March 21 – April 20

Everything is about the future this week. It may be hard to let go of some parts of the past, but everything changes. How often have you wished that you could stop time at that perfect moment? Remember, though, that the perfect moment will probably come again and maybe even another time. We are meant to move on. It is all a part of being human. Your Luck: Emotions may be high so call on the love around you. Did you know there was so much?

Taurus April 21 – May 21

Aim to keep life simple so that you can deal with any disruption­s if they come along. Who wants a perfect life anyway? You do? Well, the future is ahead, so step forward! Wait until the weekend if you want to make any compromise­s. Why not be a little flexible? It can be more appreciate­d than you realise. Shortterm intentions can bring long-term benefits. Your Luck: Planning for a holiday? Fun is coming in the last two weeks of the month. Plan now?

Gemini May 22 – June 21

Taking a chance on love can be tricky but sometimes it can bring great rewards. Put your toe in the water rather than regret, in the future, not even having tried. Be creative and give your partner lots to smile about. After all, you just have to be yourself, don’t you? Been given a difficult choice? Take it knowing that you can always change your mind in the future. Your Luck: Burning the candle at both ends can work as long as you are well balanced.

Cancer June 22 – July 22

This is an emotional week when you may have to let go of a favourite routine. Well, I know, all things change with time. We can have regrets but we can also have hope. Haven’t you found that something special can be around the corner? Why would now be any different? Prepare yourself for growth in your social life and more than a bit of fun! Let’s be optimistic. Yes? Your Luck: Unexpected invitation­s make you step back but is there really any reason to?

July 23 – August 23 Leo

Venus is once again urging you to flirt and have fun, smile and entice. Bear in mind, though, that this could turn into a permanent liaison! So choose carefully. Those who are settled may be thinking of moving or changing their lifestyle. All that is needed now for a romantic week is a fun approach. Having recently been bogged down on the work front it takes time to relax. Your Luck: A close encounter with nature at the weekend reminds you of your childhood.
