Astrologer Lynne Ewart predicts what’s in store for you this fortnight

If it’s your birthday this fortnight...

… you are born under Virgo, sign of the methodical Corn Goddess, overseeing the harvest. Virgoans are astute, clever at analysing and assessing, keeping records and quietly tending tasks that keep the cogs turning the wheels in life. You can sometimes suffer from the stress of trying to do everything to your own exacting standards, from overthinking, yet few are as quietly kind and thoughtful as you. Virgoans often stay youthful well into later life, too.

■ Famous people celebrating this fortnight include Sophia Loren and Jeremy Irons (both pictured) and Jacqueline Bisset, Sam Neill and Tom Hardy.
