Your Stars

- By Linda Shaw

VIRGO

Aug 23 - Sep 22

The planets are exactly where they need to be — and you’re feeling great. Pull that inquisitiv­e mind away from the chaos around you, and focus on your own needs. Financial opportunit­ies are hunting you down, so pay attention. There’s money to be made. And yes, it’s true, the love life has taken a turn for the difficult — but it’s nothing you can’t handle. You’re looking great, and feeling powerful.

LIBRA

Sep 23 - Oct 22

The planets are slowly making their way into your sign — fantastic. Already you’re looking gorgeous and focusing on your goals with a clarity you haven’t felt in months. And this is just the beginning. Now, move your energy outwards, offering your services wherever they’ll be needed. Join a charity or a community centre and help out. The more you give, the more you’ll receive.

SCORPIO

Oct 23 - Nov 21

Demanding your rights is fine — but not when it leaves you feeling abandoned and alone. A little humility might help your cause. Just because you are usually right doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to shove your ideas down peoples’ throats. Everyone has their own way of getting to the truth, so give them some space. If you’re looking for work check all the options.

SAGITTARIU­S Nov 22 - Dec 21

Your money planets move forward on Wednesday, bringing confidence and clarity back to your life. Excellent. Your health has taken a knock – and urgent stress-relieving remedies are needed before you collapse. Even a massage and a salt bath would make a difference. There’s more madness at work — which, strangely, you’re rather enjoying. And your friendship­s are flourishin­g.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20

The ladder of success is beckoning, with something extra special on the menu after Wednesday. Even so, keep your eyes wide open. An unexpected decision at work may cause you to rethink the entire exercise — maybe even think about moving on. Remember though, you take yourself wherever you go. In which case, you might as well confront the competitio­n now rather than later.

AQUARIUS

Jan 20 - Feb 18

Getting a little too idealistic, are you? The only problem with that is it always leads to disappoint­ment. Still, enjoy the moment while you can. And then look out for some real encounters of the passionate variety. If you’re already taken, try creating some romance at home — before attentions are even further distracted. Meanwhile, think abundance. It’s coming.

PISCES

Feb 19 - Mar 20

This is your week for serenity and balance. So if you haven’t left the office in a month, grab your briefcase and walk. And if you’ve spent the past month fixing everyone else’s life, tell them you’ve just resigned your post, and are going shopping. Get the picture? Of course, if you feel lost with no one to rearrange, think of this as a slow transition to a new you. Start by making some different friends.

ARIES

Mar 21 - April 19

A new relationsh­ip — or a different look at an old one — is calling you. And with your mood as it is, anyone ambling in your direction with romantic intentions had better plan strategies in advance. For a change, you know precisely what you want – and you’re definitely in no mood for silly games. One thing though: inspect the eyes more carefully than the wallet.

TAURUS

Apr 20 - May 20

Events or conversati­ons during the past few days may have forced you to see loved ones differentl­y. Yourself too. What do you want the relationsh­ip for? What are you expecting – and what do you have to offer? These are questions worth asking if you want your relationsh­ips to flourish. Time for honesty — with yourself. Then list your own dreams. This is, after all, your life.

GEMINI

May 21 - June 20

Even though the adventurer in you is yearning for a quest — or at the very least, an impossible task — it needs to expand its vision. After all, there are ways and means. You might, for example, consider investing your energies in creating the perfect romantic moment — and then test yourself even further by sharing your innermost feelings. How’s that for an impossible task?

CANCER

June 21 - Jul 22

Isn’t this fabulous? Somehow you’ve found a way to carry everyone along with your own special brand of enthusiasm. Which is great — not to mention perfectly timed. Even so, spare a moment for the relationsh­ips back home. At least one person is on a completely different wavelength, and wondering where you’ve gone. Sort it out before it’s too late.

LEO

Jul 23 - Aug 22

Don’t let anyone tell you the world’s not wonderful. As you’re rapidly discoverin­g, reality is largely about perception. And right now your enthusiasm is vibrant enough to be contagious. And yes, there’s a possibilit­y your energy levels are taking a dip — but that has more to do with your emotional needs than your physical health. Wait a while. Change is coming.
