ASTROLOGER TANYA OBREZA ON WHAT’S IN THE STARS THIS MONTH.

VIRGO 23 AUGUST – 22 SEPTEMBER

In this delightful year, the planets’ influence brings a relaxed pace to your life and a taste for luxuries. But the year isn’t lacking in progress. There’s plenty of work for those who want it. At home, a sense of belonging becomes important. For singles ready to settle, the cosmos now gives you the chance to find love. A long-distance affair could also turn out easier than you have imagined. More importantly, you won’t settle for anyone less than the very best. Apparently, the fun may start as soon as October. Also, be prepared for impulsive visits or travel.

LIBRA 23 SEPTEMBER – 22 OCTOBER

The Sun’s stopover through your sector of subconscious inspires you to delve into spiritual dimensions. Whether you choose to investigate psychic skills, journey into fantasy or develop an interest in psychology, your inner psyche is studied. Don’t let anyone tell you that you just want to escape reality, as this month is about accessing the truly inspirational world within.

SCORPIO 23 OCTOBER – 21 NOVEMBER

You’re not out of the woods yet, Scorpio. Sure, you could be questioning if it’s all worth it - or whether you should abandon what seems to be a fruitless quest. All you need is a new perspective and plenty of fresh air. You should be out in the elements - even if it means a few days away. So divert all calls to message-bank while you answer a stronger calling. Get back to nature for a while.

SAGITTARIUS 22 NOVEMBER – 21 DECEMBER

Don’t feel besieged if work is testing you. Some planets argue for a career change - others don’t. There’s no need to decide right now. Stay patient because dreams need time to become a reality. Thankfully, with matters of the heart, it’s all systems go! But let love develop at a steady pace. Again, don’t be in too much of a hurry to commit. Keep the focus on having fun, and the rest will follow.

CAPRICORN 22 DECEMBER – 19 JANUARY

September brings a significant turning point. Quell the tendency to scatter energies in too many directions, and a long-standing ambition could be realised this month. There may be one final period of upheaval around the 10th, so until then, don’t bite off more than you can chew. In romance, you’re ready to combine the thrill of romance with strong emotional commitment. Discover the delights of laid-back love.

AQUARIUS 20 JANUARY – 18 FEBRUARY

You have a few issues in limbo, which doesn’t make for a good night’s sleep - especially if money’s involved. There has to be a way of finalising matters, even if it means getting professional advice. But when you’re this strapped for cash, options can look limited. You don’t like turning to family for help, but in pooling resources with others, late September promise some financial respite. A happier way to end the month.

PISCES 19 FEBRUARY – 20 MARCH

Romance makes its mark in many ways this month. Some fall head over heels. Others reach a watershed. Either way, Piscean hearts beat with a new intensity. Singles have their flings but also consider commitment. Couples are more willing to offer mutual support. All in all, it’s a month when the planets give you an easier time. You can also afford to spend a few dollars - keep your luxuries affordable.

ARIES 21 MARCH – 20 APRIL

The planets put pressure on career matters. If you’re occasionally overwhelmed by the enormity of your workload, don’t be. Once you’ve stepped into the breach, fate has little choice but to move forward with you. One warning: until the 15th, curb your spending – a difficult ask, perhaps. Still, not everything in September gives cause for concern. Love and friendship look delightful, particularly after the 21st.

TAURUS 21 APRIL – 20 MAY

Keep your financial options open until the 12th, as you’ll have better alternatives by month’s end. Although you’re clear about what needs to happen, you’re not sure how to do so. Where’s the help going to come from? From your innate strength. You have so much more inner force to draw on, Taurus. Warrior Mars provides extra courage, and you do the rest. Your fearlessness is legendary.

GEMINI 21 MAY – 21 JUNE

Calm your mind, Gemini. This month, the planets encourage you to listen to your inner self and throw your usual logic out the door. It’s time to follow your instincts; stay too set in your ways, and you could miss out on a rare opportunity. Your intuition may take you along a few risky paths, though they’ll all add to that treasure of experience we call “life”. Enjoy the adventure.

CANCER 22 JUNE – 22 JULY

The cosmos continues to give you the go-ahead for practically anything. Money pressures are off, so there’s more cash to play with. You’ll be drawn to adventure and relationships that develop a crazy rhythm and spontaneity. Stability may be compromised, but with delightful results. Love tangles aside, there’s new openness with friends and family too. It’s a welcome turning point.

LEO 23 JULY – 22 AUGUST

Step cautiously through early September, when your emotions run wild. Perhaps your inner voice isn’t as all-knowing as usual. It may therefore be far more sensible to listen to others. Still, not everything gives cause for concern. The cosmos sets the scene for romantic delights after the 20th, including new playmates. With finances also on side, the occasional luxury is a must.
