Horoscopes

LIBRA 24 Sep – 23 Oct

Tap into a sixth sense warning you not to appear too brash or self-confident in front of people who know that, deep down, you have as many insecurities as most others do. You might think you’re helping yourself by putting on an assertive front, but you may be driving some people away.

SCORPIO 24 Oct – 22 Nov

Don’t lose patience with people asking you the same question time and again. Retrograde Mercury reversing into Leo mustn’t encourage you to adopt a tone of someone who is dictatorial and judgmental. You also have flaws and failings. And one day, you might be the one seeking advice instead of handing it out.

SAGITTARIUS 23 Nov – 21 Dec

You’ve paid a lot of attention to your career or image recently. But now you should step back and look at the way in which you’ve been communicating with people who are woven into the everyday fabric of your life. Accept that there’s more to think about and enjoy than getting on in the world.

CAPRICORN 22 Dec – 20 Jan

While you’ll be pushing for results, a workmate or friend will be creating distractions. Keep your temper in check and don’t lash out at those unable to grasp what you see as the main job in hand. Capitalise on Mercury’s tie-up with Mars to come across as businesslike, but also communicative and supportive.

AQUARIUS 21 Jan – 19 Feb

Someone will want to return to a topic which you had hoped to forget about forever. Rather than try to wriggle out of it, find the courage to deal with it once and for all. The act of taking it apart, analysing it and putting it back together again should enable you to move on.

PISCES 20 Feb – 20 Mar

It may be reassuring to learn that your work or an area of interest should pay well. Even so, you’ll need to know exactly what’s expected of you and make sure it won’t prove too much for you to handle. Those involved may think of you as a form of cheap labour, rather than as someone to respect.

ARIES 21 Mar – 20 Apr

Several people around you are craving fun and entertainment after a period during which things have been extremely demanding. So you need to use the positive Mars-uranus link in your chart to access some creative ideas to help you make sure that everybody does have a fantastic time. And that includes you.

TAURUS 21 Apr – 21 May

Confrontation cropping up at work or within a circle of loved ones is inevitable. But you can reduce the amount of upset if you insist that everyone involved sticks to the plain and simple truth. Malicious rumours circulating among those concerned must be halted in their tracks before rifts become permanent.

GEMINI 22 May – 21 Jun

Resist the temptation to get away from it all and, instead, focus on making necessary improvements to your home or family life. As the Sun forms a sharp angle to Jupiter, you don’t want loved ones or friends reminding you that, not for the first time, you’ve neglected your responsibilities. Make amends.

CANCER 22 Jun – 23 Jul

Having queried a financial or administrative matter you find strange, you’ll be anxious for answers. And you’ll get them, provided you don’t antagonise those helping you unravel the mystery. These individuals need to know that you appreciate their support. Don’t make them feel like they’re merely lackeys.

LEO 24 Jul – 23 Aug

For some reason, you’ve remained unusually quiet over a matter about which you have clear insights. Others won’t like you appearing secretive at a time when they’re keen to be given whatever information is available. Will you break your silence? Probably. But it must be done at a time and in a way that suits you.
