Horoscopes

AUG 28-SEP 10

If it’s your birthday this fortnight...

…you are born under Virgo, the analyst. You like to focus on one thing at a time, and to do it thoroughly. When you’re totally immersed in a task, whether it’s a hobby or a work project, you are often oblivious to the rest of the world, so keeping busy is your natural stressbuster. Virgo is an immensely kind, decent sort, but this sign can be sharply critical of anything that’s perceived as wrong. Famous people celebrating this fortnight include Sue Cleaver and Colin Firth (pictured), Pauline Collins and Hugh Grant.

VIRGO Aug 24-Sept 22 Creative enterprises and romance could take a step back for a time, perhaps until someone or something else arrives.
