Weekly horoscope for August 25 – August 31: What the stars have in store for every zodiac sign revealed
OUR much-loved astrologer Meg sadly died last year but her column will be kept alive by her friend and protégée Maggie Innes.
ARIES
MAR 21 – APR 20
As your forever love zone welcomes Venus, you can feel something shifting deep inside – and the future could take a very different shape.
A passion promise you have hesitated to approach could almost make itself this week.
Meanwhile, Mercury is back on a positive path and this can unlock a chain of rich creative ideas, plus point you towards the best people to help realise them.
Luck rings three times.
TAURUS
APR 21 – MAY 21
A time of leaving love to chance is ending – now you are ready to focus on the happiness you need, and head out to grab it.
You could start with a deep relationship talk, that takes an unexpected turn.
Single? Instead of waiting to be asked, just do the asking!
The moon reminds you that your values matter to you, and if someone has crossed a line, do take action.
GEMINI
MAY 22 – JUNE 21
With the most romantic of all the charts, thanks to Venus’ new position, you set the zodiac pace for explosive passion.
You can be bolder, braver and full of wonderful ways to show you care.
This time, when a tempting Leo comes into view, you will know just what to do.
A personal moon adds insight to intelligence and your work suggestions are sensational.
Luck opens a pale green door.
CANCER
JUNE 22 – JULY 22
You have so much to say, yet the right moment never seems to come.
This week the waiting is over, as your sun-inspired connections sector is on fire.
Make sure you are ready, as a chance may not come again.
In love? Two partners both want the same future, but may express this in different ways.
Single? The moment your eyes lock with “D” you sense you have come home.
LEO
JULY 23 – AUG 23
As the mind-master planet Mercury powers forward again in your own sign, so many decisions you have been hesitating over can start to look so clear.
You have spent so long making things better for other people – now it’s your turn.
Jupiter’s prize potential is at its peak this week where friends, or work colleagues, pool knowledge.
When you talk with love, not blame, family tension can reduce, and recede.
VIRGO
AUG 24 – SEPT 22
Any extra time off work this week is the perfect moment to look at qualifications and experience and start making some plans.
Clear your mind of what-ifs and focus instead on why-nots.
In love terms, too, Venus layers certainty into emotions, and if you’ve been in two minds, or two hearts, about someone or something, now you see so clearly.
A prize linked to “M” can double in size.
LIBRA
SEPT 23 – OCT 23
A time of bending over backwards to please other people ends with Mercury’s new direction.
You can control who holds the power in your life – and correct any lack of balance.
You also fit words to pictures really well, and can help dream projects become reality.
With Venus now on Team Libra, you are a love machine – and can draw admirers across any distance with the force of your feelings.
SCORPIO
OCT 24 – NOV 22
You are one of the zodiac’s most instinctive, deep-feeling signs.
Tap into this power all week, to read truths that other people try so hard to hide. But do also turn this power on your own heart, face those feelings you would rather run away from.
This is how you can turn them positive.
A prize or work application is good to go, but check through one last time.
SAGITTARIUS
NOV 23 – DEC 21
Celebrating all the aspects of love you adore, can be a simple way to reduce some recent doubts.
When you have a foundation of respect, difficult truths can be spoken, and heard.
If you’re single, review and revisit your friends zone, as your heart could have revised its view of “J”.
Your learning power is Mercury-fuelled, while the moon softens opposition and a deal can suddenly fly straight through.
CAPRICORN
DEC 22 – JAN 20
Accepting you may not always understand your own feelings, is a great step forward.
You can let love take you to an unexpected place, give up fighting attraction.
Your cash chart could also be a Pluto mystery, and a call or chat during some down time can energise a set of career decisions.
When this happens, do be your authentic self – no pretending!
A musical couple can be your link to luck.
AQUARIUS
JAN 21 – FEB 18
Taming some wild creative ideas is your task of the week – the moon, plus Mercury’s new clear head, can help you do this.
You can see how to turn talents into profits, and start by the weekend.
If you’re in love, Venus facilitates learning, from successes as well as mistakes.
So your next passion step can be one in a lifetime.
The luck factor links to space-age architecture or design.
PISCES
FEB 19 – MAR 20
It’s time to take back control of your own health – if someone else has too much influence, you can correct this, this week.
As Mercury’s retrograde ends, you are more sure than ever that you know your best next move.
A moon of creating your own security draws you towards someone at an open-air event – who instantly makes you feel safe, but does not limit your love freedoms.
