Horoscopes
VIRGO 24 Aug – 23 Sept
Now that Mercury is moving forwards again, you’ll have a firmer grasp of a situation which, for the past three weeks or so, has caused some consternation. And your thinking will become clearer at the weekend when Mercury enters your own sign. You’ll become more communicative with somebody who’s become somewhat distant. And you’ll rebuild bridges which have prevented you from being as close as you would have liked to have been.
LIBRA 24 Sept – 23 Oct
Against all the odds you’re about to bring a demanding set of responsibilities to a successful conclusion. As you reflect on whatever you’ve been through, you must feel proud that you’ve built up some worthwhile relationships along the way. Acknowledge to yourself at least the value of close bonds and togetherness.
SCORPIO 24 Oct – 22 Nov
Accept that certain people would be happy to spend some time with you. But make sure you won’t be expected to abandon other areas of your life as a result. Much as you might like forming new friendships, and perhaps more intimate relationships, you’re not one to be told what you can do and who with.
SAGITTARIUS 23 Nov – 21 Dec
Professional developments will crop up while family and friends are making demands on you. Don’t think you can keep everyone happy, especially with the Sun opposing Neptune. You must be pragmatic about the use of your time and energy. And if someone’s feeling disappointed, that’s how it has to be temporarily.
CAPRICORN 22 Dec – 20 Jan
Murky waters surrounding a joint financial, property or business arrangement are about to clear. But that’s not to say that the more obscure questions will be answered satisfactorily. So you mustn’t be afraid to go back over some old ground and insist that the people involved fill in the gaps. Every single one of them.
AQUARIUS 21 Jan – 19 Feb
You’ve never quite understood the intricacies of a money-related or professional arrangement. This week, the Full Moon in Pisces means you’ll discover more about it than you thought possible. Why not take it further and strive to become well-versed in an area you have previously thought to be out of your reach? It’s not.
PISCES 20 Feb – 20 Mar
One particular phase in your life has come to a close. And you’ll realise this should mean you can afford to spend more of your time, energy and affection making someone close feel a lot better. You’ve had divided loyalties recently. So make up for whatever has been lost or made to suffer in the process.
ARIES 21 Mar – 20 Apr
Lots of attention will be paid this week to an area that’s been neglected. Although you might think you’d like to help, you have a responsibility to those to whom you’re permanently committed. These people must come first. Only if you’ve some time left over should you think of supporting those in need elsewhere.
TAURUS 21 Apr – 21 May
Respond to an instinct telling you to be more proactive regarding a romance or long-term relationship that’s going through a dull phase. You should capitalise on Mars entering the section of your chart linked to fantasy. And admit that you’re at least half to blame for so much having been allowed to slip and slide.
GEMINI 22 May – 21 Jun
A breakdown in communications has caused severe problems at times. So you’ll be glad that this week your links with certain individuals are improved. You’ll also have the chance to pursue an ambition about which you haven’t been able to do very much until this point. Seize every opportunity available.
CANCER 22 Jun – 23 Jul
Having refused to disclose certain information to someone close for some while, you are about to see things differently. As the Sun colludes with Pluto, you’ll decide there’s no harm in sharing information, which, up until now, you’ve found awkward. Enjoy the freedom that this new attitude offers you.
LEO 24 Jul – 23 Aug
Pressure will build as people insist on being given information about work or finances. And you may have to explain why there have been so many hold-ups in this area. You also need to ensure that these individuals receive everything they’ve been promised. Remember that at times like this your word is your bond.
