HOROSCOPES: Virgo, this week Mars’s angry influence will affect you

Virgo 24 AUG-23 SEPT Mars’s angry influence will affect you this week and anyone who has let you down should make themselves scarce. You can deal appropriately with those who deserve it but don’t take it out on people who just happen to be in the firing line. CALL 0904 470 1166 (65p per minute)*

Libra 24 SEPT-23 OCT Don’t shirk your duties or put off anything in need of immediate attention. If you face up to uncomfortable facts, they will be easier to deal with than you feared. And if that’s your problem, don’t let your imagination rule your life. CALL 0904 470 1167 (65p per minute)*

Scorpio 24 OCT-22 NOV It may be tempting to employ underhand tactics when dealing with people who break or bend the rules, but you know it won’t make things better or you happier. Keep your own standards high, even if you seem to lose out in the short term. CALL 0904 470 1168 (65p per minute)*

Sagittarius 23 NOV-21 DEC A minor difference of opinion could escalate into a major battle, especially if you think a certain person is trying to usurp your position. You can get annoyed if you’re sure of the facts but if there’s any doubt in your mind, be careful what you say. CALL 0904 470 1169 (65p per minute)*

Capricorn 22 DEC-20 JAN  You may be passionate about your beliefs, but don’t expect everyone to see things your way. You are entitled to express an opinion but not to ram it down other people’s throats. Speak your mind clearly and let others decide for themselves. CALL 0904 470 1170 (65p per minute)*

Aquarius 21 JAN-19 FEB  This is not a good week to make promises, especially if you’re half hoping you won’t have to keep them. With Venus linked to restrictive Saturn, partners and loved ones will not let you off the hook until they’ve had their pound of flesh – or more. CALL 0904 470 1171 (65p per minute)*

Pisces 20 FEB-20 MARCH You have a simple task this week: work with others and get things done or work alone and meet constant resistance. You may be good at dealing with problems but even a Pisces needs help occasionally – and you need it now more than ever. CALL 0904 470 1172 (65p per minute)*

Aries 21 MARCH-20 APRIL Minor setbacks are inevitable this week and it would be all too easy to lose your temper with anyone who gets in your way. Whatever the provocation, keep your head – if others see you’re annoyed, it will only make matters worse. CALL 0904 470 1161 (65p per minute)*

Taurus 21 APRIL-21 MAY With your ruler Venus linked to Saturn, you must expect partners and loved ones to be a bit aloof. Even if it’s due to something you’ve said or done, worrying about it won’t help. Let them see that their attitude doesn’t bother you one jot. CALL 0904 470 1162 (65p per minute)*

Gemini 22 MAY-21 JUNE Make sure you know what you’re talking about this week or it could be embarrassing. Being well-informed is not the same as being a genuine expert. Someone who knows their subject inside out could make you feel very silly. CALL 0904 470 1163 (65p per minute)*

Cancer 22 JUNE-23 JULY You seem to be under the impression that a close relationship is hovering somewhere between dire and disastrous but your solar chart suggests that is not the case. Focus on what is good in your life and your perspective will alter – for the better. CALL 0904 470 1164 (65p per minute)*

Leo 24 JULY-23 AUG You may be tempted to abandon a project rather than throw good money after bad but the planets suggest you’re close to a breakthrough, so don’t give up just yet. Believe in yourself: one final push and you’ll be over the hurdle holding you back. CALL 0904 470 1165 (65p per minute)*
