Aries Mar 21 – Apr 20

Try to look on the bright side. Classes that had stopped and social activities put on hold over the summer are about to resume. The embers of romance will glow brightly again. Call me to hear when you must keep your wits about you.

Taurus Apr 21 – May 21

Very soon your home will be back to normal after the entertainment and improvements that kept you busy are done. You don’t want to be disturbed as you consider love and romance. Call me to hear when a purchase won’t be worth the money.

Gemini May 22 – June 21

The morning is likely to drag on because you’ve undertaken a task that needs painstaking precision or because you’re under the weather. The signs are more positive this afternoon. Call me to hear when an arrangement falls through.

Cancer June 22 – July 23

Even if cash hasn’t been coming in as fast as usual you have managed to save money. But life could start to get expensive soon as extravagant Venus develops expensive tastes, so beware. Call me to hear when you can’t trust what you’re told.

Leo July 24 – Aug 23

If your spirits have been fl at over the summer, blame it on Venus who’s lost her lustre. Happily she is getting her act together and as she buffs up her shine you should start to feel resplendent. Call me to hear when a social plan fizzles to nothing.

Virgo

Aug 24 – Sep 23

Reports to write, articles to read, assignments to complete, correspondence to answer. Perhaps you’ve been a little overambitious and written yourself a to- do list that’s longer than your arm. Call me to hear when someone in authority is unhelpful.

Libra Sep 24 – Oct 23

It may not appear so today but socially your life is beginning to brighten up. It’s good news for matters of the heart so don’t be too downcast. Instead plan that romantic encounter. Call me to hear when to double- check travel arrangements.

Scorpio

Oct 24 – Nov 22

There’s a moody edge to the day with social affairs, partnerships and love seemingly under a cloud. Venus is raising her game and when her rays reach you you’ll find your sparkle again. Call me to hear when to watch out for a financial glitch.

Sagittarius Nov 23 – Dec 21

If certain routes or channels of communication have been blocked, the subtle changes unfolding over the next few days will not only clear the way but will also have a positive effect on your outlook. Call me to hear when a promise comes unstuck.

Capricorn Dec 22 – Jan 20

Much is in the melting pot this month and what happens over the next few days will start a promising process. You’re getting your finances together and work prospects are bright. Call me to hear when you can safely wriggle out of a commitment.

Aquarius Jan 21 – Feb 19

A situation that’s been holding you up since the end of July will turn around so you can pick up from where you left off. There are romantic opportunities that have been few and far between. Call me to hear when you can’t afford to trust Lady Luck.

Pisces Feb 20 – Mar 20

A work or health development that’s been fairly static since the end of July will soon turn around again. Not everyone is on your wavelength today but promising finances are a comfort blanket. Call me to hear when a domestic plan falls apart.
