VIRGO (AUG 24-SEP 23)
LIBRA (SEP 24-OCT 23)
SCORPIO (OCT 24-NOV 22)
This week the focus is on friendships, as you communicate about the things in life that really matter. But Saturn pushes your perfectionist button, so resist the urge to constantly criticise, as you set impossibly high standards for yourself (and others).
Home is where the heart is! A grand total of five planets are visiting your domestic zone (including your ruling planet Venus). So it’s time to hone your multi-tasking skills as you cook, craft, garden, decorate, renovate or entertain family and friends.
Early in the week the sun/Venus/ Mars/Pluto links really pack a punch! These celestial hook-ups highlight your intensely moody and mysterious side, so tread carefully. Make it a priority to use your powerful energy in positive ways.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV 23-DEC 21)
CAPRICORN (DEC 22-JAN 20)
AQUARIUS (JAN 21-FEB 19)
PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 20)
The sun/Venus/Jupiter connections bode well for a week full of love, fun, friendship and lucky opportunities. There’s one proviso though … avoid the tendency to overspend. Savvy Sagittarians will resist the temptation to be extravagant.
Are you suffering from a split personality? Venus is sashaying through your sign. Which sees you at your stylish, cultured and cooperative Capricorn best … sometimes. With Saturn also in your sign, at other times your serious side will take over.
This week, use your avant-garde side to make audacious plans for the future. And draw inspiration from birthday great David Bowie “Tomorrow belongs to those who can hear it coming.” Uranus also stirs up your rebellious side on the weekend!
Are you living in la-la land – full of creative ideas and abstract plans, but short on practical application? This week the challenge is to follow through on your list of commitments. No matter how daunting they are … if you make a promise – keep it.

GEMINI (MAY 22-JUN 21)
Good fortune is on your side from Monday until Wednesday, and the planets also bless romantic and platonic relationships. But don’t let your jealous side get the better of you. If you have concerns, then voice them in a diplomatic way.
