Your Stars

PAM SCHOFIELD SEPTEMBER 7 1952 IRINGA, TANZANIA, 05H00

Sun sign: Virgo

Moon sign: Aries

Rising sign: Leo

It feels as though your life has been one of endless sacrifice – and not much return. That’s because you’re special; here to help and uplift. Even so, you need lifting yourself now and then. This is one of those times. So, decide what you want – and ask. As long you’re clear about the meaning of success, you can pull it towards you any time. By November, the journey will make more sense and you’ll be ready to let go of anything you no longer need. Move past your sensitive side and let your inner warrior out to play. Allowing your dreams to come true is rewarding. If your relationships have been damaged by your eternal need to save the world, step back and save your heart for a while. You’re part of the world too. How about saving yourself? Let yourself be happy.

ARIES Mar 21 - April 19

It’s a great week with the planets back on track. For now, take nothing seriously. By next week, you’ll have a clearer idea about your next move. This week is you, your ideas and your moment in the sun. The universe is arranging itself around your needs, and all that’s required is a list of desires. If you’re not sure what you want, ask for everything. A new direction is about to change your life.

TAURUS Apr 20 - May 20

Successful foreign investment or financially worthwhile journeys are up for grabs. Even if you stay home, there are some interesting risks on the go. Most desirable is the opportunity for a spot of excitement. Who knows? You might meet someone willing to pay a million to spend the night with you. Not that unlikely. The planets are back on track; tomorrow’s new moon is on your side.

GEMINI May 21 - June 20

You’re having a fabulous time at last. Don’t pull your usual stunt — waiting for something to burst your bubble. Bubbles will always be burst, but there are always plenty more where they came from. Career options are looking good, with a major goal to be achieved. Work on innovative ways of getting your ideas across. Tomorrow’s new moon sends a wodge of interesting ideas. Pay attention for a change.

CANCER June 21 - Jul 22

Adaptation to other people’s rules is your key to survival this week. Try enjoying it — it’s great to be released from decisions now and then. You’re irresistible now, so why not distract yourself on the social circuit. Shyness and reticence are no longer impressive. You have to ask for what you want. Tomorrow’s new moon is beaming down on your heart. Let it open interesting doors.

LEO Jul 23 - Aug 22

Having second thoughts about the love life? Remind yourself how demanding and unrealistic you can be about other people, and think again. Arrange a private discussion about needs and wants. Avoid blaming. Nothing kills love faster than a list of accusations. If you’re having trouble sleeping, get a massage. And calm down. Or stay up all night and enjoy the experience.

VIRGO Aug 23 - Sep 22

Go on. Take that risk. Make sure you know exactly what you’re after – and allow yourself to have it. With wise assertiveness, that is, not noisy demands. The energies are with you – making room for the kind of success you were promised. And if the loved ones are complaining, tell them they’ll have your full attention soon. In the meantime, this one is for you. Let yourself be truly selfish for once.

LIBRA Sep 23 - Oct 22

There’s a new moon tomorrow providing the perfect energies to deal with problems at work. Interestingly, your direct manner could throw some people off guard, so make sure you know what you’re talking about before taking risks. Finances are on the up, though caution is still vital for the big stuff. Tip: do your own homework. Make sure you know what you’re talking about.

SCORPIO Oct 23 - Nov 21

Don’t you dare stop chasing your dreams just because everyone around you is having a sulk. After all, what have your dreams got to do with them? They’re your dreams and it’s up to you to make them happen. Developments over the next few days have real potential to revolutionise your life. Not to mention your finances. The others will join in, but it’s up to you to lead the way.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 22 - Dec 21

If relationships are driving you crazy, it probably has something to do with the fact that you’re only skimming the surface. So yes, while it certainly does take courage to let someone in, there’s a lot more to be gained than lost – especially during tomorrow’s exciting new moon. Meanwhile, make money a separate issue. It has nothing to do with love. But sharing what you have certainly does.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20

A string of new ideas and unexpected offers has filled you with the kind of optimism you’d forgotten existed. But there’s a downside: all this potential change leaves you unsettled, exhausted and frightened. So be kind to yourself as you leap into a new you. If you need a few days to decide, take some time. You deserve it. Besides, the planets have only just changed direction.

AQUARIUS Jan 20 - Feb 18

What you want now is to disappear into a quiet space and wind down. Unfortunately, the bank balance demands active participation in your life. Before you sink into oblivion, ask yourself whether there was anything else you could have done – and do it. While you’re there, think about working smart rather than hard. There aren’t any rules about how you get there, just that you do.

PISCES Feb 19 - Mar 20

It’s exhausting trying to please everyone at the same time. Stop. Haul out the diary and start re-scheduling. No one will mind. In fact, people are a lot more forgiving than you think – as long as you tell them what’s going on. Besides, you’re the only one who thinks you have to solve the world’s problems by yourself. And this week is much more about you than them. Let tomorrow’s new moon show you the way.
