September 23 – October 22

Pay attention to your mental health as well as your physical wellbeing. You're doing all the right things physically, but you're vulnerable to stress.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 22

What you want to do doesn't match what you know you should do. You'll have to decide whether to follow your fantasies or take care of your duties. Make a choice and stick to it.

Sagittarius

November 23 – December 20

There could be good news at work, but it may bring its own problems – for example, if a promotion involves having to relocate. Navigate this potential minefield with care.

Capricorn

December 21 – January 19

Don't be surprised to find your opinions changing daily. Don't worry; it's good that you're open-minded enough to adapt to changing situations.

Aquarius

January 20 – February 18

Something isn't right in your finances. Get expert help if there is a lot of money involved, or if you're in serious debt. It may be that you have not read some important small print, or that someone is trying to defraud you.

Pisces

February 19 – March 20

You might be blissfully in love, but don't get so caught up in your partner that you forget your own identity. Spend some time away from your lover, with your own hobbies and friends.

Aries

March 21 – April 19

Your rational mind is in conflict with your subconscious; you may struggle to make sense of things you believe to be true. If forced to choose between head and heart, go with your heart.

Taurus

April 20 – May 20

A desire to show off could lead to careless mistakes, especially with your friends. Get the details under control before taking a risk. There's a lot of style here but not much substance!

Gemini

May 21 – June 21

When it comes to work-life balance, you're not the only one affected. Make sure you understand your family's feelings on this issue. It wouldn't hurt to clarify, before you end up making a choice nobody actually wants.

Cancer

June 22 – July 22

You may be over-confident in your abilities at the moment but you'll find it difficult to bluff your way through. If you make a mistake, hold your hands up and admit it.

Leo

July 23 – August 22

With finances suddenly stretched again, keep a careful eye on your spending. You tend towards blind optimism, trusting in the cosmos to provide income when you need it. You get points for bravery here, but rein it in.
