An intense lunar influence awakens your playful side and urges you to pursue your hobbies and romantic plans with passion and enthusiasm. Keen to spoil yourself or anyone else you’re keen to impress?

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Today, not every brilliant idea is worthy of your time and energy, so take a break to reflect on your deeper priorities. These are the ones that require attention, as they may be most closely related to your true needs. Something you’ve glossed over may crave expression and today’s line-up means you can share it with depth and honesty rather than rejecting it out of hand.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
It’s time to acknowledge your true worth without waiting for others to do it for you. Rather than ignore your most obvious talents or belittle them, be proud of what you can do and enjoy contributing to friends and the world at large. It’s a good time to showcase an ability you may have kept to yourself and make it a big deal. Add drama and passion and others will notice.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Your instincts are razor sharp, and your presence is strong, meaning you’re very impressive. You may have to put on an act to get what you want, Scorpio, if you aren’t confident about your chances. This is an opportunity to enjoy some theatre and play your part to perfection. You’ll soon lose yourself in your performance and your abilities will wow others.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
A dream could get to the heart of an issue you’ve been grappling with for some while. It could lay out the problem and the answer in such a way that you’ll have no difficulty in resolving it. You might also find that getting away from it all gives you the perspective you need to get a refreshing overview of your life. A positive shift may be coming very soon.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
You know what you want, and someone could help you get there if you talk to them. You’ll need to appeal to their sense of importance and not be too proud to do so. A small gift or offer of a meal or other treat might also ease things along. Perhaps they will arrange things for you, but they’ll need to know you’re serious about this. Be your confident self, and you’ll do well.
