HOROSCOPES

- Sally Brompton

VIRGO 24 AUG-23 SEPT

An idea that pops into your head seemingly out of nowhere this week may seem unrealisti­c but the more you think about it, the more you will like it, and the more you like it, the more likely it is that you will do something about it. With your ruler Mercury with the Sun in your sign linked to both ingenious Uranus and structured Saturn, there are interestin­g times ahead. CALL 0904 470 1166*

LIBRA 24 SEPT-23 OCT

If you feel that your talents have been overlooked, this is the time to do something about it. With so many changes in the air even the meekest of Librans can move up in the world. All you have to do is keep your eyes open and be ready to seize a golden opportunit­y. CALL 0904 470 1167*

SCORPIO 24 OCT-22 NOV

Try approachin­g a difficult problem from an unusual angle this week. You may be surprised how simple the answer is when you reject the traditiona­l way of looking at things. If you get stuck don’t be afraid to ask for help. No one expects you to do it all yourself. CALL 0904 470 1168*

SAGITTARIU­S 23 NOV-21 DEC

As Mercury, planet of the mind and communicat­ion, crosses the midheaven point of your chart, this is the ideal time both to clarify your ambitions and to let those in positions of authority know that unless they offer you something better, you will be looking elsewhere. CALL 0904 470 1169*

CAPRICORN 22 DEC-20 JAN

It is time to get tough with someone who has been taking liberties for too long. You may blame yourself for letting the situation drag on, but what does a nice person do when someone they respect lets them down again and again? There can be no more second chances. CALL 0904 470 1170*

AQUARIUS 21 JAN-19 FEB

You seem to have pushed yourself too hard in one direction and need to backtrack if you don’t want things to fall apart. The one thing you must not do this week is throw more money at a situation that is not working out the way you intended. Cut your losses and run. CALL 0904 470 1171*

PISCES 20 FEB-20 MARCH

This is the ideal time to be honest with loved ones and partners, even if what you have to tell them is going to place you in a less than

favourable light. Don’t make excuses but don’t apologise too profusely either. What is done is done and really isn’t that important any more. CALL 0904 470 1172*

ARIES 21 MARCH-20 APRIL

Start planning a new work or health regime this week. You may not be able to launch it for a few weeks but if you do the groundwork now it will make things easier for you later on. It will also make it much less likely that you will give up after the first few days. CALL 0904 470 1161*

TAURUS 21 APRIL-21 MAY

You may be surprised, even shocked, by what you see this week but don’t stand there gaping for too long or you will miss a great opportunit­y to move up in the world. And don’t feel guilty if you gain at others’ expense. They would probably do the same to you. CALL 0904 470 1162*

GEMINI 22 MAY-21 JUNE

You may find it hard to resist a cry for help this week but resist you must. If you get involved you will be treated like a slave, doing things for others that they really should be doing for themselves. Don’t let unscrupulo­us types take advantage of your kind nature. CALL 0904 470 1163*

CANCER 22 JUNE-23 JULY

This week’s aspects should do wonders for your confidence and give you the courage to start something you have been yearning to do for ages. Great changes are taking place but don’t be afraid: they are the kind of changes of which you can and must take advantage. CALL 0904 470 1164*

LEO 24 JULY-23 AUG

Although Mercury, planet of the mind, leaves your sign this week, don’t stop thinking and don’t stop looking for ways to improve your lot in life. Over the next few days there will be several chances to make money from your good ideas. If you don’t, you can be sure someone else will. CALL 0904 470 1165*
