HOROSCOPES

What’s in the stars for your life and style this September

23 JULY – 22 AUG

LEO

On 11 August, the new moon will lend itself to self-affirmation, so set high expectations for yourself and achievement will follow — especially when Mercury leaves retrograde on 19 August. Dress on your own terms, whether layering up like a fashion mille-feuille, à la Balenciaga, or in a miniscule Jacquemus dress.

23 AUG – 22 SEPT

VIRGO

While your ruling planet Mercury finishes its retrograde this month, you may struggle to find balance. Stick to classic silhouettes and prints. Did we say ‘new bougie’ was trending? That means herringbone and houndstooth twinsets. It’s a look for all seasons and saves you asking 2O questions when dressing each day.

23 SEPT – 22 OCT

LIBRA

On 6 August, your ruling planet comes home and brings a flash of inspiration, signalling a healthy period for your love life (Venus in Libra encourages affection in relationships, whether new or long-lasting). Lean into this with a romantic style: think & Other Stories and Chloé’s sheer shirts and floor-sweeping skirts.

23 OCT – 21 NOV

SCORPIO

This month will offer plenty of challenges. From 13 to 27 August, Mars retrograde in Capricorn will force you to question your sources of comfort. Try Maison Margiela’s techy coats that change colour in different lighting, or Monki’s holographic handbags. Chameleon styles will get you through this transient period.

22 NOV – 21 DEC

SAGITTARIUS

Mercury ends retrograde in Leo on 19 August, which will feel like a rebirth. The planet of communication, combined with Leo’s fiery energy, is fertile ground for your curious nature. Consider making progressive fashion your new cause — like Gucci and Givenchy, who have followed through on their promises to ditch real fur.

22 DEC – 19 JAN

CAPRICORN

When Mars retrograde enters Capricorn on 13 August, you may feel trapped by shyness, plus the backwards motion of Mars is not conducive. Counteract this uncertainty with reliable accessories. Tiny bags may be trending at Versace and Marc Jacobs, but go big for reassurance with Loewe’s XL leopard-print totes.

2O JAN – 18 FEB

AQUARIUS

Mars retrograde will continue to reside in your sign until 13 August — and your ruling planet, Uranus, turns retrograde on 7 August. These motions will throw difficulty your way. To prepare for the erratic month ahead, try repurposing tried-and-tested styles. Look to the timeless glamour of Halpern’s Studio 54-inspired looks.

19 FEB – 2O MARCH

PISCES

A full moon lands in your territory on 26 August, and while this lunar phase will feel enlightening, it has the potential to induce feelings of isolation, too. Take advantage of this conflict with mood-lifting clashes: the rainbow-bright hoodies at Burberry, styled with refined outerwear, are a great lesson in mixing things up.

21 MARCH – 19 APRIL

ARIES

The new moon on 11 August lands in Leo, so you’ll want to harness its invigorating energy to your own advantage. Use clothing to communicate your bold nature — embrace the Eighties revival with boulder-shoulder print dresses (looking at you, Saint Laurent) and Versace’s punkish bovver boots.

2O APRIL – 2O MAY

TAURUS

Uranus, the planet of change, will begin its long-lasting backwards motion on 7 August, bringing issues of confinement to the surface for Taureans. Leave your comfort zone whenever possible, starting with your shoe choice. Look to Molly Goddard for inspiration, with classic cobalt strappy heels and clashing tights.

21 MAY – 2O JUNE

GEMINI

With Mercury and Venus on your side, hot pink is your power colour this month. Set the stage for a go-getting transition out of summer with bright, neon get-ups. Miuccia Prada lights the way (really) with lucent glow-in-the-dark paillettes. Don’t be afraid to command attention.

21 JUNE – 22 JULY

CANCER

The full moon in Pisces on 26 August will leave you feeling revitalised. As you harness this energy and prepare for autumn, clean cuts and fresh fabrics are the perfect palette cleanser. Look to maxi dresses and jumpsuits, wide legs and slim silhouettes in neutral tones. Nanuskha and Loewe are a great shout for summer.
