Horoscopes

LEO 24 Jul – 23 Aug

Initially, you might feel kindly disposed to those organising a journey or get-together. However, Venus challenging Uranus suggests you’ll wonder whether the rumours are true about a certain individual whose controversial behaviour creates shock waves. Be glad Venus enters your sign at the weekend, spelling out the value of having this person playing a major role. Don’t form a prejudiced view fuelled by gossip.

VIRGO 24 Aug – 23 Sep

Somebody drawn towards you is hoping, on some deep level, that you can fill a gap created during an earlier experience. Although you’ll strive to be helpful and accommodating, you need to point out that you’re an ordinary human being rather than a miracle worker. Then you can see what you might have to offer.

LIBRA 24 Sep – 23 Oct

As you reflect on developments affecting you and loved ones, you’ll see a pattern emerging. And with Saturn resuming its normal direction, you’ll realise you’ve been ignoring boundaries which can so often work in favour of these relationships. It’s time to go back to a more structured way of thinking.

SCORPIO 24 Oct – 22 Nov

Differences of opinion need pose no real threat to an arrangement in which you’ve placed a lot of hope and trust. Focus on ways in which to remind yourself and the other people involved that you have similar ideas on how things should be managed. And the petty glitches should be kept in perspective.

SAGITTARIUS 23 Nov – 21 Dec

Aspects of your personal life are in need of an overhaul. Though you’ll be prepared to do whatever is necessary, you must take care not to offend those who, having tried to help, haven’t been entirely successful. Don’t let a Mars-saturn link encourage you to use heavyhanded tactics. Go for a more diplomatic approach.

CAPRICORN 22 Dec – 20 Jan

Joint fifinances or shared responsibilities need to be managed equally between you and whoever else is involved. Point out that you have, at times, done the lion’s share and might start to resent the fact that you’re not being given as much support as you’d like. Be as objective and fair-minded as possible.

AQUARIUS 21 Jan – 19 Feb

Perhaps you’ve never fully understood why certain people are keen for you to be a part of whatever they’re doing. And if this is the case, barriers are being removed and you and those involved should be able to be more transparent with one another than ever before. What you’re about to learn is invaluable.

PISCES 20 Feb – 20 Mar

Quite why you should be expected to perform under difficult circumstances is a mystery to you. But the after-effects of the solar eclipse are bringing to the surface a sense of rationale, which should help you understand why others place so much trust in you. And you want to live up to it, don’t you?

ARIES 21 Mar – 20 Apr

No one would deny that you have ongoing commitments to manage carefully. But there must be times when you feel you’re taking some aspects of your life rather too seriously. A chance encounter will leave you wondering whether there’s a simpler way of dealing with things. It’s worth careful consideration.

TAURUS 21 Apr – 21 May

Enjoyment and entertainment will appeal enormously. And with the Sun entering Virgo then connecting with Mercury, you’ll want to persuade others to join you on a fun-seeking mission. All of which is fine, provided you’re not accused of leading people astray when they should be focusing on more sober matters.

GEMINI 22 May – 21 Jun

People may come up with impressive-sounding ideas regarding cash flow or ways in which to make the most of your resources. But you’ll realise that what’s being put forward has little substance to it and is likely to create problems rather than solve them. Listen out for other suggestions based on pragmatism.

CANCER 22 Jun – 23 Jul

Over the past few weeks, you might have wondered whether some of your colleagues or companions will ever be able to offer the support you need. This week, however, you’ll begin to see that they’ve contributed far more than you’ve realised, while your demands have been somewhat unreasonable. A rethink is called for.
