April 21 - May 20


Today's Horoscope for Friday August 22nd

In coming weeks you will feel like a child at heart - spontaneous, colourful and unselfconscious when it comes to enjoying yourself. You will be wearing your heart on your sleeve and be upfront about what you fancy. More than anything what you want is to be applauded, so you will be hamming it up madly at times, but so charmingly everyone will clap even harder. Your creative talents could be finding an outlet so push to find the self-discipline to make use of them.



The Weekly Outlook from 18th August

The Sun moving through your chart area of love, children, entertainment and self- expression after midweek means you will be in a fun-loving, attention seeking mood A party animal you will be playing and not settling down to routine chores or following orders easily. Feeling happy go lucky, outgoing and romantic, you will allow your exuberance out on display as much as possible. No one will damp your spirits as you plan how to keep the good times rolling for months to come.

Your Monthly Horoscope for August

Home will be where you'll want to be with your feet up, surrounded by loved ones and having heart-to-heart chats or even better doing very little. Take the chance to reflect on recent events and get them into perspective. You will need to balance relaxation with hard work since Mars moving into Libra on the 6th till late September will pile up the chores and make demands on your energy. Staying fit requires you put as much attention towards eating sensibly and getting enough sleep as you do towards duties and responsibilities. Everyday companions will go out of their way to hand you compliments and make thoughtful gestures so you will feel appreciated. You may be uncertain at times because of a general sense of everything shifting around but a lively, fun-loving Sun in the final days will revive your spirits.

and Next Month's Horoscope for September

Balancing fun and enjoyment with work and responsibility will be your task for three weeks. There will be no shortage of invitations to social events or sporting occasions. But you will also be landed with heavy demands on your time and energy from chores. Try not to be overly perfectionist or insist only you can be relied on to do a good job otherwise you'll be landed with more than you bargained for. Ensure you keep up your keep fit regimes and eat sensibly in order to top up your stamina. An enthusiastic mood in your everyday comings and goings will keep you running, perhaps promising more than you can deliver. Put the brakes on some of your plans and expectations and you'll be fine. Your morale- boosting approach will keep you popular. After the 22nd you will find a close partner pitching in with support. They may get over heated at times but if you throw your support behind their plans then you'll make fast progress.

Year Ahead 2025

Never a sign who appreciates situations requiring too much flexibility and adaptation to change, you are having to adjust to challenging times along with everyone else. You will veer between quiet moments out of sight when you want a chance to relax and reflect and other times when you will push hard to revitalise your social life and attract attention. Continuing on from last year you will be pushing to find a direction in life at work and elsewhere that will bring you deeper meaning and purpose. At times you may run into situations where you feel someone else has the upper hand or you could be too controlling yourself. Be strategic, subtle and persuasive not stubborn. Neptune moving into the sign before yours from late March will make dreaming and drifting tempting but its main purpose is to prompt you to find spiritual connections. Joined by Saturn in May, it will stimulate your imagination and foster creative longings. Being artistic will be one way of maximising its effect. In a quiet, behind-the-scenes way you will be keen to help those who are disadvantaged. Money will roll in faster till midyear courtesy of Jupiter in Gemini which will give you surplus for treats. From July you?ll be exploring new ways of making money or handling what you already have. An easier everyday schedule with support from companions and plenty of fun company will make the second half of the year reassuring. You?ll be wakening up your leisure activities and surrounding yourself with a wide circle of good friends.
