If a professional or work situation seems somewhat frustrating, try to keep the faith. Indeed, doing more research could prove quite revealing, and what you learn can help to guide your way forwards. People are going to be interested in what you have to say and what you have to offer, but you may feel that there are some new skills that you need to develop to help the process.
Virgo 24 August – 23 September
Your ruler continues to rotate backwards, and can arouse your natural curiosity when it comes to squeezing more from your budget or being more careful with your resources. If you are in a relationship, a fairer share of responsibilities and obligations between you will improve harmony. You're set to become much more self-confident and assertive for the next six weeks too.
Libra 24 September – 23 October
A conversation you have in the first half of this week can be really meaningful. This can give you a sense of extra confidence about someone's intentions, or the feeling that they are well attuned to what you have to say and your feelings. This is a nice state of affairs. A more passionate side of your nature is set to be aroused in general now, and one area that can inspire you is travel.
Scorpio 24 October – 22 November
The Sun powers into your sector of relating. Your traditional ruler Mars has also been in this location for over five weeks, and this is going to help you firm up the understanding you've been gaining in that time. With Venus also forging a delicious link with Mars, something really special can unfold for you as far as your interactions are concerned. Charm can take you a long way.
Sagittarius 23 November – 21 December
This week's Quarter Moon could see you tempted to waver on some kind of plan or even a diet. Mind, your determination around a more creative matter can be considerable. With Mars also set to move into a more competitive area, this can see you on the front foot, taking on new challenges, but to really make the most of your opportunities, attention to detail is key.
Capricorn 22 December – 20 January
For some weeks now you've had an opportunity to be super enthusiastic about something that is important to you. But this has been tempered by more emotional and personal considerations, perhaps family ones too. These may not be at a complete end, but now you can start to focus in a more single-minded way on what you want to achieve and having fun can be part of this.
Aquarius 21 January – 19 February
Friendships are often hugely important to you, and this week will be no different. Perhaps what's truly significant, is that a connection you make in the first half of the week can be one that lasts for a lifetime or an ongoing alliance can deepen further. With the Sun re-positioning, along with Mars and Mercury, you may find yourself wanting to play host to loved ones, Aquarius.
Pisces 20 February – 20 March
Venus in your sign forges a stunning angle to Mars. A relationship you were unsure of can be clarified by this, or if you're single you can find yourself keen to socialize and interact with others. There can be lots of playful and even flirty moments from this. Professionally, a meeting can go exceptionally well, and the pace of life is set to step up quite considerably now, Pisces.
