The all-seeing Jan Jacques tells you what the stars have in store this week
Tuesday 4 - Monday 10 August
ARIES 20 Mar-19 Apr
You want the world and you want it now. Mars in your sign equals energy plus a fair amount of impatience. Add pesky retrogrades and you get wound up, but if you know it’s coming, you can work on keeping calm. Elsewhere, the colour sky-blue is restorative right now. LUCKY PACE: Measured
TAURUS 20 Apr-20 May
You are truly fluent in charm this week, as a nifty Venus shift helps you connect with others. It’s an awesome aspect for PRS, journalists and retailers, but try not to use ten words where one will do. Meanwhile, students may find complex work makes more sense. LUCKY POWER: Charisma
GEMINI 21 May-20 Jun
Being paid for a job you love is the career holy grail for you. And you’re a step closer with Venus in your finance house – a top transit suggesting money earned enjoyably. Elsewhere, don’t overthink a pal’s careless comment – there is no hurt meant.
LUCKY EMOJI: Treasure
CANCER 21 Jun-22 July
Confidence changes everything, and Venus in your sign should boost yours. This aspect works wonders for self-belief, helping you ace a thorny work issue with aplomb. That star quality tips over into style as well – prepare for some flirty attention. LUCKY GIFT: Panache
LEO 23 Jul-23 Aug
The sun is still in your sign, boosting self-assurance, and is joined by Mercury bringing financial chances. But don’t neglect the boring details. On the health front, superb short-term planets mean extra energy. LUCKY DAFT PHRASE: Winnerwinner, chicken dinner
VIRGO 24 Aug-22 Sep
There’s always something sent to try us. In your case, a tricky Venus transit may bring a small money niggle, easily righted by your diligence. Health-wise, just one long-term planet badly aligned means you should feel pretty mellow this week. LUCKY ATTITUDE: It’s a breeze
LIBRA 23 Sep-22 Oct
Finally, some appreciation. When your ruling planet Venus enters your 10th house, you’re on top. Overdue praise and kudos should come your way, but you won’t let it turn your head. Elsewhere, a happy family reunion beckons. LUCKY SONG: Good Times (Chic)
SCORPIO 23 Oct-21 Nov
Sometimes we must work at having fun in love. This may happen as Venus moves into your 9th house. It’s worth the extra effort. Work-wise, it’s the same principle when your graft this week pays off. LUCKY SONG: Work Hard Play Hard (Wiz Khalifa)
SAGITTARIUS 22 Nov- 21 Dec
Travel still features for you this week, even in love. Fast-moving Mercury spells links with different countries, perhaps romance on foreign soil, though it may be a slow process. Health-wise, a little less evening screen-time will improve your sleep. LUCKY ROAD: Long and winding
CAPRICORN 22 Dec-19 Jan
Flirty flings beckon to singletons. A sizzling Venus aspect spells romance, but for laughs, not for keeps. Work may also be boosted through social dealings. Healthwise, that strong 8th house says meditation may be extra helpful. LUCKY SONG: Into You (Arianna Grande)
AQUARIUS 20 Jan-18 Feb
Logical, sensible and hard to beat in arguments – that’s you. But this week let someone close win a round. You’re strong enough (with an equally robust 7th house) to let them save face. Elsewhere, a child or child figure’s view makes you laugh. LUCKY EMOJI: Halo face
PISCES 19 Feb-19 Mar
You need something to worry about (and if there’s nothing, that’s a worry too!). Health may bother you, yet a superb planetary alignment hints you’re in good shape. Get checked out for peace of mind. Work-wise, a great week for job hunters. LUCKY STANCE: Unruffled
