TAURUS

Good things come in threes. In astrology, a ‘Grand Trine’, formed when three planets harmonious­ly link, is considered to be especially powerful and positive. So this week, with its THREE Grand Trines, is nothing short of outstandin­g! Moments like this come about once in a blue moon. And given that one of the trines coincides with August’s second New Moon, we almost have one of those! Allied with the strength that Venus, Mars, Saturn and Uranus collective­ly lend us now, very little can stand in our way.

IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: Do we ask each other to jump through unrealisti­c hoops.

LIBRA September 24-October 23

T hey say that ‘the pen is mightier than the sword’ but has anyone ever tried sword fighting with a ball-point? Both physical actions and words have power. The battle you’re currently facing is going to take more than talking, writing or persuading your way through. You’re going to need to let go of something, cut an attachment to an unsatisfac­tory situation so that you’re free to follow your heart. This week’s Grand Trines highlight the way to turn a much-desired plan into your reality. Start by acting with cool certainty.

IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: Success in resolving tension requires knowing what’s going on in the back of someone’s mind. Precious insights are near.

SAGITTARIU­S

YVIRGO

August 24-September 23

G osh! You don’t look any older. No wonder so many of your friends and colleagues are wondering if you have a portrait of yourself hidden away in an attic which is aging slowly while you brim with vitality. I know…flattery won’t get me very far with you. Neverthele­ss, you’d better be prepared to receive some this week as the Grand Trines highlight your many attributes and bring them to the attention of others. If anyone is hard to handle, treat them with the same patience and generosity you treat everyone else.

IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: We can’t make anyone love us by trying to control them. It takes courage to be trusting and open; but the reward can be joy.

October 24-November 22

T hey say that ‘if you take care of the pennies, the pounds will take care of themselves’. Yet there’s another saying ‘penny wise, pound foolish’. When we lose ourselves in the details of life, we can lose sight of the bigger picture. So which of these opposing idioms (which work for all currencies) are true? Both of them! It depends on your situation and the perspectiv­e you need. This week’s Grand Trines bring the chance to forget your financial concerns. Follow your heart and everything will fall into place.

IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: Every relationsh­ip has ups and downs. But downs can lead to reappraisa­ls and glorious new beginnings! Expect that.

November 23-December 21 SCORPIO

ou have the gift of being able to do what other people find impossible. You have an ability to cope with difficulti­es – both people and situations. Where they give up, and walk away from a challenge, you turn towards it with a smile. That's as long as it's not going to involve a lot of hanging around, though. You're not very good at that! The week's dilemma is going to require some patience. Who likes an easy challenge? Not you! The Grand Trines will enable you to assert your power in an unconventi­onal and satisfying way.

IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: Is someone asking for too much? Is fear involved? Focus

on the positive. Then just watch how things lighten up soon.
