Wednesday September 20

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
A lull in life allows you to take a breather and contemplate new moves. Perhaps you could reassess issues of health and wellbeing, or weigh up options for streamlining your daily routine to make it more efficient.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
It may be appropriate to take a break from a tiring situation rather than always trying to keep up appearances. An impending lifestyle adjustment could cause temporary chaos, but within weeks you will see the benefits.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Your reluctance to let go of a relationship or situation that no longer serves a useful purpose is understandable, but unproductive. You are being challenged to make bold decisions and stand on your own two feet.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Ruling Moon wanes and takes with it some of your energy or enthusiasm. Be mindful of the fact a cycle is ending and focus on changes you would like to implement in the immediate future.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
You will be goal oriented and material comfort is likely to be more important than usual. Some of you may look at new investment opportunities soon, while others focus on beautifying their appearance or surroundings.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Moon in your sign makes you a little uncertain, perhaps because you sense change is imminent. A solar eclipse strikes Virgo in a couple of days and it will usher in positive energy or a stroke of luck.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Energy levels may waver, but provided you pace yourself and prioritise, obligations can be met. After months of indecision some of you will finally let go of a worn out situation, while others break a bad habit.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Venus in compatible Virgo encourages you to see the goodness in others and overlook your own shortcomings. There may be a lack of practical motivation, but emotionally you have endless amounts of love to give.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
If you feel the need to constantly justify your actions to someone, perhaps there is an underlying problem. Within days there may be an opportunity to set new terms of reference in a romantic or business partnership.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Even the most complicated tasks can be simplified, but rather than always aiming for excellence you may have to settle for second best occasionally. Break a few rules, cut through red tape and go easy on yourself.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You might unexpectedly sit on the fence rather than giving your opinion or taking sides. More information could come to light soon, but until then you will adopt a low profile and let others manage their own affairs.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
You will relate better to people face to face and may feel uncomfortable expressing feelings via email or telephone. A new Moon later in the week provides the perfect opportunity to redefine relationships and your social life.

YOUR DAY
Debate may fizzle out due to lack of interest or participation. With the lunar cycle coming to an end, a temporary ceasefire can be called and energy preserved for more important matters. However, underlying resentment could continue to fester and confrontation may only be a matter of time.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
As you close the page on a chapter of your life, the world becomes your oyster. And if in the past fear or dwindling resources have held you back you can expect the floodgates to open. Mistakes may be made, but the trade-off is independence.
