LIBRA 23 SEPTEMBER – 22 OCTOBER DON’T HASTILY TRY TO FIX WHAT’S WRONG

With Mercury, the planet of communicat­ion, reversing out of your sign and the Sun moving into your sign on the 23rd, you could momentaril­y feel as if you’re a bit tongue-tied. Go easy on yourself and spend time thinking over your problems instead of hastily trying to fix what’s wrong. You have the support and encouragem­ent of the person who matters most to you, so draw on their experience. They’ll help you get through this. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 16, 35, 43, 46, 37, 20

SCORPIO

23 OCT – 21 NOV Be mindful of putting friends on a pedestal as they’re bound to fall off and disappoint you. Rather take inspiratio­n from a friend as a role model who’s showing you compassion under difficult circumstan­ces. It’s also a good week for quiet contemplat­ion, whether you create your own retreat, go away for a weekend, or embrace the privacy in your own home. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 19, 29, 35, 43, 31, 22

SAGITTARIU­S

22 NOV – 20 DEC You may be tempted to make an imperfect decision affecting your career, but it would be wiser to wait until Mercury, planet of communicat­ion, moves directly into your sign. Premature action would also create chaos at home where your loved ones currently seem to have a very thin skin. Try to distract everybody by organising a fun family outing. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 20, 31, 42, 46, 39, 26

CAPRICORN

21 DEC – 20 JAN Interestin­g developmen­ts at work may tempt you to reconsider your options. You’re not an impulsive person by nature, but you’re also not someone who thinks plans through. You might not be seeing the complete picture, so play for time while you unravel the knots. Think twice about emulating a colleague. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 3, 14, 41, 45, 34, 4

AQUARIUS

21 JAN – 18 FEB Your finances remain murky this week, so if someone is trying to push you into making decisions, be firm about not being bullied. Don’t feel guilty about decisions you’ve made. An interestin­g new topic has stimulated your interest, and this would be the ideal time to take up a new course of study or to plan a trip to your favourite destinatio­n. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 25, 34, 5, 3, 10, 42

PISCES

19 FEB – 20 MARCH You might be so in love with romance right now that you’re not seeing the wood for the trees. You must thus make sure you’re not just seeing this person as the answer to all your love problems. Though you’re probably wearing rose-tinted glasses now, don’t part with your hard-earned cash to keep someone happy. If you’re on the receiving end of someone’s generosity, accept it graciously. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 3, 8, 24, 39, 23, 4

ARIES

21 MARCH – 19 APRIL What’s happening in your love life can be quite intriguing, but stay on the straight and narrow as veering off it can cost you. If you secretly admire someone, consider the consequenc­es if you should overstep the line. Rather work on making an existing relationsh­ip stronger and more resilient. If you’re a single Aries, you should be on the lookout for love during this time. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 1, 10, 21, 36, 11, 2

TAURUS

20 APRIL – 20 MAY As a Taurus, there’s nothing you wouldn’t do for the love of your life, but just make sure you aren’t being taken advantage of. It’s one thing being empathetic and understand­ing and quite another to make yourself a doormat. The comings and goings at work are also not lost on you right now. It would be best to be a quiet observer whilst everybody is sorting themselves out. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 1, 33, 5, 25, 48, 18

GEMINI

21 MAY – 20 JUNE In your enthusiasm, you may think you’ve found the answer to all your domestic problems. You’re not short on ideas, but while your planet, Mercury, is retrograde, you’re probably not seeing things accurately. Develop your ideas and plans but rather wait to execute it at a later stage. Make sure your impatience doesn’t trip you up. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 2, 26, 47, 15, 36, 20

CANCER

21 JUNE – 21 JULY With the new moon falling in your home horoscope on the 26th, domestic life and family are where your focus will be. New developmen­ts in your career could lead to things changing in your home life as a result of what’s going on work-wise. Don’t feel pressured to sign on the dotted line. Take your time to red the fine print and get an expert opinion. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 18, 45, 5, 25, 48, 39

LEO

22 JULY – 22 AUG It might feel like a scramble to get the books to balance, but make sure you don’t let things slip through the cracks. If you’re confused, ask for help and don’t be too proud to admit your shortcomin­gs. Talk of travel plans might be premature, especially if the funds aren’t available. There’s no harm in dreaming of a holiday, but be realistic and first get any debt under control. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 16, 37, 44, 5, 38, 22

VIRGO

23 AUG – 22 SEPT Your planet, Mercury, slips back into your sign on the 23rd, while still being in retrograde. This can lead to all sorts of misunderst­andings, so try to remain cool and calm. This is especially true in a love relationsh­ip where doubts and insecuriti­es can cause both of you to act strangely. Adopt an attitude of trying to go with the flow instead forcing things to go in one direction. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 1, 27, 37, 46, 29, 3
