The Horoscope
VIRGO
August 24 – September 23 A series of events about which you’ve been secretive will intrigue people close by. You may, under the influence of the solar eclipse on August 11, decide it’s time to disclose what you know. Provided you can’t be accused of betrayal look forward to a burden being lifted off your shoulders. Lucky day 13th—creativity or romance fill a space in your heart.
LIBRA
September 24 – October 23 Home or family issues may have suffered through your lack of motivation. However, a sudden surge of energy around mid-August will lift your spirits and reassure loved ones, neighbours, or friends. Everyone should soon feel better about the situation. Lucky day 6th—kind, loving gestures to others are returned tenfold.
SCORPIO
October 24 – November 22 People steering you towards the spotlight merely want what’s best for you. Try not to be too critical of them when they urge you to take on new—and possibly fairly huge—challenges. Perhaps, they see something positive in you. Lucky day 7th—convention is turned upside down and everybody wins.
SAGITTARIUS
November 23 – December 21 Take care as you decide to reshape aspects of financial or professional dealings that have fallen into a slump. As retrograde Mars reverses into Capricorn you’ll be inclined to go in for some pruning, which could do more harm than good. Lucky day 2nd—brave new thinking brings you bouquets, not brickbats.
CAPRICORN
December 22 – January 20 Mistakes made in the past by yourself or others have been a disincentive in certain money-making or business affairs. It should therefore be quite refreshing to find that plans being discussed are virtually guaranteed to be foolproof. Feel free to engage wholeheartedly. Lucky day 8th—by seizing a heaven-sent opportunity you forge ahead.
LEO
July 24 – August 23 It’s time to turn your attention from your intensely personal life to more practical concerns. Don’t be surprised if you suddenly find you can analyse a complex situation with such accuracy that you not only make sense of it but you’re able to turn it to your advantage. Rewards coming your way will be well-deserved.
Lucky day
19th—people, at last, stop turning to you for all the answers.
AQUARIUS
January 21 – February 19 Some kind of journey or venture that captures your imagination could turn out to be quite costly. That needn’t put you off, provided you go to whatever lengths are necessary to prove that you’ll get more out of it than you put in. You’ll do your sums, and get them right, won’t you? Lucky day 27th—barriers are lifted and there’s just no stopping you.
PISCES
February 20 – March 20 Glitches have hampered your progress in terms of work or other practical responsibilities. This may even have disrupted your well-being. From August 19 when Mercury’s retrograde phase ends, you can move forward and bring a successful conclusion to whatever has been derailed. Lucky day 10th—others remind you of where your future truly belongs.
ARIES
March 21 – April 20 You might enjoy taking a gamble on an arrangement that seems exciting but could bankrupt you if it goes wrong. Be careful not to be more reckless than usual early in August when you will mistakenly think you can have fun without consequences. Lucky day 9th—a new attitude towards a certain individual proves life-changing.
TAURUS
April 21 – May 21 Not everyone will agree with your view on somebody you find appealing. You mustn’t be put off. A Neptune-Jupiter link is bringing out an extremely optimistic streak in you. Let it happen but don’t crumble if the outcome is unexpected. Lucky day 13th—you explore unfamiliar territory without looking back.
GEMINI
May 22 – June 21 By pushing yourself hard you’ll achieve a tremendous amount within a territory that others find daunting. However, you mustn’t get carried away with feelings of achievement. You, like everybody else, have weak points and they must be addressed. Lucky day 23rd—embracing family developments enhances your life.
CANCER
June 22 – July 23 Having experienced some disappointment over material matters recently, you might wonder whether you can summon up the courage to speculate on something similar in the near future. When steered towards a deal that could bring out the very best in you, you should confront head-on. Lucky day 11th—your hidden talents are shown off to your benefit.
