VIRGO 24 AUG - 23 SEP

You’re set for a very busy week. So today is a great time to complete unfinished business and study up on information. Then, be prepared to pounce when Mercury finally turns direct tomorrow.

LIBRA 24 SEP - 23 OCT

The planets are stimulating your networking zone. So it’s time to mix and mingle, nurture friendships and make exciting new professional contacts. But expect some crossed wires on the way.

SCORPIO 24 OCT - 22 NOV

Things won’t go according to plan today, but that’s okay. Your motto for the moment is from birthday great Beyonce. “If everything was perfect, you would never learn and you would never grow.”

SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV - 21 DEC

With Venus, Mars and retrograde Mercury stirring up your learning zone, it’s time to study a topic – or language – that’s always fascinated you. The worst thing you can do now is be bored.

CAPRICORN 22 DEC - 20 JAN

Don’t accept things at face value. Venus, Mars and retro Mercury are in your research/mystery zone. So look below the surface and do background checks to discover what’s really going on.

AQUARIUS 21 JAN - 19 FEB

When it comes to romance, expect some hiccups. Attached Aquarius – it’s time to shake up a stale relationship. If you’re single, have you been looking for love in all the wrong places?

PISCES 20 FEB - 20 MAR

If you can be diplomatic – especially at work – then positive experiences and influential people will come your way. Creativity is highlighted, as you put an abstract idea into practice.

ARIES 21 MAR - 20 APR

When it comes to a fragile relationship with a child, teenager or friend, don’t keep interacting – and overreacting – in the same old way. A fresh, unconventional approach will reap rewards.

TAURUS 21 APR - 21 MAY

Luxury-loving bulls are definitely domesticated creatures. With Venus, Mars and retrograde Mercury all visiting your domestic zone, home is where the heart is.

GEMINI 22 MAY - 21 JUN

You’ll make headway today by being alert and keeping your eyes and ears open. Stay on top of facts and leave fantasy for the movies. But don’t sign on the dotted line – be patient and wait.

CANCER 22 JUN - 23 JUL

Saturn is sauntering through your wellbeing zone. So it’s an appropriate time to take a close look at your health and fitness levels. And are you up-to-date with your medical and dental checks?

LEO 24 JUL - 23 AUG

With Venus, Mars and retrograde Mercury in your sign, learn to control your fiery energy or you’ll end up in hot water! You’ll feel more stable and secure today as Saturn settles you down.
