Aries
Love life and romance are favoured this week. You may be exploring the revival of a former friendship or lover. This is a good time to let yourself be creative. Your physical self is on a high, so activities involving the large muscles likely will be pleasurable.

Taurus
Now that Venus, your planetary avatar is turning direct, you may find it easier to make some decisions about home, hearth, and family. Things in this area have been pending for a long time. This long holding period has kept you from moving forward. Over the next three-four weeks you will come to feel more organised and steady.

Gemini
You may be feeling a bit “off” this week, whether physically or emotionally. This is not a good time to do work that requires discipline with details. You are feeling independent, so you may want more alone time than is the norm. Be kind to yourself.

Cancer
Over the weekend you may be feeling mildly irritable or “out of sync” with your world. You need some time to be alone to process an experience in which you felt dismissed. After the weekend your spirit lifts and you will feel considerably better.

Leo
You have a remarkable capacity to focus on a long term goal. But sometimes this goes over the edge into rigidity and unwillingness to switch gears as needed. If a negative attitude or the past has been troubling you in the last several weeks, then now is the time to let it flow down the river.

Virgo
You may be concerned about resources at this time. It would be easy to become obsessed about what you see are problems. However, if you consider other challenging times in your life, you will be remember that somehow you always muddled through to the other side.

Libra
You have needed a break from your usual community and now it is time to decide which associations you wish to continue and which you do not. It is possible that you will seek out new acquaintances this year. That is a good way to escape boredom from the routine.

Scorpio
This is a generally upbeat and positive week. Circumstances may be ripe for an increase in income. An opportunity to demonstrate your talents and skills comes your way. It will give you a lift. Try something new and different, use your creative energy.

Sagittarius
This is a week that may bring you a sudden break for freedom. It may offer an unexpected opportunity for change. You must use your best judgment on whether that change is favourable for the long haul. Think carefully and use your intuition about how this action will impact your life.

Capricorn
Aspects particularly favour your self-expression. You are in an effective position. Others agree with your guidance and leadership. A project begun near the New Year is blossoming now. At the very least you can see that it is on track to turn out well. Legal and educational agendas are positive.

Aquarius
You have felt estranged in recent weeks from someone who is important to you. Hopefully you have had time to consider your contribution to the matter. If so, then now is the time to approach the matter together. Sometimes a “break” is needed while we sort our thoughts.

Pisces
Should you meet someone new in September, the connection could lead to happy-ever-after-ness, and in general what happens at this time will have an effect on the future of a relationship. Indeed, should you have chosen this month to marry or become engaged, you have done so at a propitious moment. Money is also in the spotlight, and with mixed results.
