Your daily horoscopes

Virgo 24 Aug – 23 Sep

Mercury is still reversing through your sign, encouraging you to re-evaluate a personal project or your physical appearance. Don’t make any major changes until after September 5, though.

Libra 24 Sep – 23 Oct

You’re very conscious of group values at the moment. You can all get what you want if you work cooperatively to find win-win solutions to problems. It takes extra time but is well worth the effort.

Scorpio 24 Oct – 22 Nov

The planetary patterns encourage setting goals and formulating dreams for the future. But Mercury is retro and circumstances are changing. So your plans will require regular tweaking.

Sagittarius 23 Nov – 21 Dec

When it comes to a confusing work matter or a family issue, don’t assume you know what’s going on. Ask plenty of questions. And then make sure you verify the information you receive.

Capricorn 22 Dec – 20 Jan

Expanding your knowledge base will open up your world, but don’t accept so-called facts at face value. Do some research and look beneath the surface to discover what’s really going on.

Aquarius 21 Jan – 19 Feb

Be careful how you communicate with others today. If you jump to conclusions or make flippant remarks, then there’ll be misunderstandings. So take the time to really listen to others.

Pisces 20 Feb – 20 Mar

A relationship is under stress at the moment, as retrograde Mercury increases communication problems and misunderstandings. So try to express yourself with extra tact and diplomacy

Aries 21 Mar – 20 Apr

With mighty Mars charging through fellow fire sign Leo until September 5, there’s a fine line between being proactive and just plain pushy. So strive to be confident and cooperative.

Taurus 21 Apr – 21 May

When it comes to a joint financial arrangement or intimate relationship, be proactive and practical. Use your intuition and also do your homework first.

Gemini 22 May – 21 Jun

With Mercury reversing through your domestic zone, do more to create harmony and happiness at home. Nurturing and caring for loved ones will leave you with a warm inner glow.

Cancer 22 Jun – 23 Jul

Today’s stars favour being proactive about your feelings and saying what’s really on your mind, in a careful Cancerian way. But be especially diplomatic with a fractious family member.

Leo 24 Jul – 23 Aug

With Mercury still in retrograde mode, money mix-ups are likely – unless you have everything under control. If you can’t organise your finances yourself, then find a professional who can.
