Your daily stars

VIRGO 24 AUG - 23 SEP

It’s time to dream big and then examine how they fit into your plans for the future. Mars encourages you to get physical via exercise, sport or outdoor activities with children or friends.

LIBRA 24 SEP - 23 OCT

Sitting back and letting others make decisions will leave you feeling paralysed and powerless. There’s a lot going on behind the scenes, so take your time and do all the research that’s required first.

SCORPIO 24 OCT - 22 NOV

You’ve got a choice today, Scorpio: you can be super powerful and passionate, or compulsive and controlling. So aim to use your energy in plenty of positive and proactive ways.

SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV - 21 DEC

Proactive Mars and strategic Pluto encourage you to nurture your nest egg. So do your best to find smart and dependable ways to make your money work even harder for you in the future.

CAPRICORN 22 DEC - 20 JAN

You’re keen to be in charge today, Capricorn. But, if you boss others around too much, you’ll be surprised by their reaction. And tread super carefully with a stressed relative or neighbour.

AQUARIUS 21 JAN - 19 FEB

Celebrate your uniqueness, Aquarius. Your motto for the moment is from birthday great, actor Jeremy Irons: “I always found ways to make myself different … and it hasn’t changed.”

PISCES 20 FEB - 20 MAR

Your mantra for the day is also from Jeremy Irons: “We all have our time machines. Some take us back; they’re called memories. Some take us forward; they’re called dreams.”

ARIES 21 MAR - 20 APR

Channelling your energy into professional projects will give you plenty of extra oomph today. Take the initiative in business ventures, but make sure you delegate and consult as well.

TAURUS 21 APR - 21 MAY

Don’t wait for lucky breaks to come to you. Smart bulls will succeed in the future by keeping their eyes and ears open for opportunities. Then when they strike you’ll be ready to charge.

GEMINI 22 MAY - 21 JUN CANCER 22 JUN - 23 JUL LEO 24 JUL - 23 AUG

Today’s Mars-Pluto trine suits your Leo style, as it encourages thinking and acting in fabulously proactive and productive ways. If you are open to exciting new projects, then the sky’s the limit! Nurture relationships with family and friends who encourage your hopes and dreams for the future. Single crabs, look for romance with someone who is wise and mature beyond their years. Don’t bury your head in the sand about financial matters. Avoidance will only make things worse in the long-run. Single Gemini, look for a long-term partner who is passionate and proactive.
