VIRGO 24 AUG - 23 SEP

The day will progress well if you are disciplined, productive and patient. Resist the temptation to criticise others, though. Let them run their own race and make their own mistakes.

LIBRA 24 SEP - 23 OCT

Your daily routine is a bit of a slog at the moment but don’t let it get you down. With Venus visiting your hopes and wishes zone, make your dreams for the future as big and beautiful as possible.

SCORPIO 24 OCT - 22 NOV

Expect a challenging day, full of financial problems or frustrating friendships. But don’t blame others if things aren’t working out. The only person who’s likely to sabotage your efforts is you.

SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV - 21 DEC

Restless Sagittarius - it will feel like one step forward and two steps back today, as Saturn stymies your motivation and slows your progress. The lesson to learn at the moment is patience!

CAPRICORN 22 DEC - 20 JAN

With challenging Sun/Saturn aspects, the odds are you’ll be stressing about something. If you try to convert others to your way of thinking, you could end up with a power struggle on your hands.

AQUARIUS 21 JAN - 19 FEB

You’re in the mood to socialise, but that doesn’t mean you’re happy about who you’re fraternising with! If a friend is playing silly mind games, then perhaps it’s time to move on?

PISCES 20 FEB - 20 MAR

It will be difficult to get the balance right between relationships and work responsibilities, as your stress levels rise and patience flies out the window. Slow and steady is the motto for today.

ARIES 21 MAR - 20 APR

It’s not the ideal day to take off on a holiday or important business trip, as Saturn slows things down or delays travel plans. If you must make a move, then double-check your itinerary carefully.

TAURUS 21 APR - 21 MAY

When it comes to financial matters today, keep it simple and try not to stress about things that you can’t change. If you are expecting money from someone else, be prepared to wait.

GEMINI 22 MAY - 21 JUN

Close relationships will be a challenging juggle today, as many demands are placed on you and your energy levels take a dive. Steer clear of situations that produce extra tension.

CANCER 22 JUN - 23 JUL

Crabs are feeling cranky today! It won’t take much to irritate you, and relations with loved ones or colleagues will be strained. Pace yourself and avoid stressful people and situations.

LEO 24 JUL - 23 AUG

Relations with a child, teenager or friend will be frustrating today, as you encourage them to do something and they drag their heels. Not everyone shares your fiery Leo enthusiasm!
