Horoscopes

JENNY BLUME predicts your destiny for this week AUG 13-19

Virgo AUG 24 – SEP 23

Your stars are full of hot gossip! As pieces of the puzzle fall into place, someone’s odd behaviour might finally make sense. Just don’t be talked into something that doesn’t sit right: trust your instincts and do your homework. If you’ve been feeling bored of late, why not start researching short – or long! – courses?

Libra SEP 24 – OCT 23

Don’t let yourself be pressured, Libra. With Mercury still retrograde (until next week), think about what you really want. An opportunity might be heading your way, but will it make you happy in the long run? In the meantime, launch into an early spring clean and get things organised at home.

Scorpio OCT 24 – NOV 22

The celestial brakes are still squealing, so if a project has stalled, stop pushing. By September, the gears should crank into action, but for now, shift your attention to friends and family. Conversations may be quite intense this weekend, while on the romantic front, things could progress quickly.

Sagittarius NOV 23 – DEC 22

Change can be unsettling but, thanks to Jupiter, your world’s about to expand. There might be a spot of travel or training on the horizon, along with an interesting money-making idea. Keep researching for now, then prepare for an action-packed spring. Pop a citrine crystal in your purse to attract prosperity. Capricorn DEC 23 – JAN 20 Don’t live in the future, live in the now! Whether it’s a creative project or a lifestyle change, August’s visionary stars should spur you into action. Women will prove especially supportive, so why not chase up some old friends? If your batteries need a recharge, slip out of town or spend more time in nature.

Aquarius JAN 21 – FEB 19

If life’s become a blur, schedule some time out. Your horoscope is crowded with chatter but as the buzz subsides, your intuitive powers should surge (you may even feel like a mind-reader!). As you slow down, your next step should become crystal clear, so book a massage, hire a bike or just let yourself potter.

Pisces FEB 20 – MAR 20

Still feeling tired or below par? Some simple changes could see you bouncing into spring. Start by reassessing your diet, then see a naturopath or organise blood tests. Friday’s stars are brimming over with action, so let off steam with some friends. If you’re looking for romance, wear red for extra oomph.

Aries MAR 21 – APR 20

Your chatty nature should work in your favour this week, particularly in business, so do what you do best and circulate. If a big decision’s still up in the air, solutions are blowing in the wind, not only for you, but for a child or loved one. Late winter might bring a major breakthrough, so try to relax.

Taurus APR 21 – MAY 21

Opinions may be flying, but don’t make any judgements, as more information could surface next week. To calm the vibe, try beautifying your home and workplace – soothing sounds, smells and colours should work a treat. With stylish stars casting such a bright light, your efforts should score compliments.

Gemini MAY 22 – JUN 21

Go girl! A stop-start fitness kick is about to pick up pace and as the results become evident, friends and colleagues may join you. Live shows and cultural events should also strike a chord, along with pursuits like singing and dancing. As your social calendar fills up, a new outfit might come in handy!

Cancer JUN 22 – JUL 23

Get talking about the big issues, particularly work and money matters, as solutions are close at hand. Home improvements might also hit the agenda but be warned: small tweaks could morph into major projects. Saturday’s sensual stars could turn romantic, so take advantage.
