VIRGO

Deciding to learn a new skill that just days ago you would have thought too difficult marks a major turning-point.

LIBRA

September 23 to October 23

Jupiter and the moon, on opposite sides of the zodiac, give you the full picture about key relationships.

Emotionally, you can be supportive to others without being a soft touch.

Single? Once you worked together but now it can be a racy romance.

Luck builds for a group of friends planning an unusual anniversary.

SCORPIO

October 24 to November 22

Instead of fretting about finding the right words, just say how you feel – then love can make progress.

But be tactful with the family. If finding new love is your priority, Neptune matches you with a face you first see through a camera.

Rather than merely thinking about a fashion makeover, you are ready for action.

SAGITTARIUS

November 23 to December 21

Venus travels across your emotions chart, and love that has just skimmed the surface goes deeper.

Single? There is attraction and action where loyal, long-term friends meet inspiring new ones.

This can launch love but also give you fresh ideas for your working life.

Just smile at gossip spoken in a gentle voice.

CAPRICORN

December 22 to January 20

Your serious side is lightened by some surprises.

One could be a fancy new job title. Another is a chance to say those words of love or loyalty you fumbled the first time.

There is a strong link between romance and the movies, so check who is next to you in a cinema queue.

Lucky clues are hidden in a text message.

AQUARIUS

January 21 to February 18

The moon makes you a brilliant communicator and even when you discuss sensitive topics, you keep the mood friendly.

You get others to talk to you about their true feelings, so partners discover more about each other.

If you are single, what you see as flirty fun hides so much love and passion potential.

PISCES

February 19 to March 20

You may not see yourself as artistic but something you make, paint or bake over the weekend reveals talent.

As for romance, a small gift with a travel connection works better than words to take a relationship to the next level.

Or if you are single, let that special someone know you are interested.
