Wednesday September 6

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
A one-off opportunity could occur and there will be little time to ponder commitment. Go with your intuition and bear in mind that even if the stakes are high, fate may be tapping you on the shoulder.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
A glimmer of hope in the business or career area provides the motivation needed to continue along a path. Even if you are tempted to give up, the lure of money, success or kudos will keep you going.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Luck may have deserted you lately, but you could suddenly find yourself in the right place at the right time. Destiny offers tangible rewards and helps restore your faith in people, philosophies or the power of positive thinking.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Once you set yourself a goal or mission, nothing will stand in the way of success. Your sense of purpose is heightened today and those who try to block your progress will be effortlessly swept aside.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Moon in your partnership zone puts the spotlight on teamwork and shared experiences. Communication between you and a significant other may flow more freely, allowing you to recapture that missing sense of belonging or satisfaction.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
You may feel confused about a particular issue, but a clearer picture gradually emerges as the week unfolds. With your heart in two places or loyalties divided, this may be the perfect time to take a breather.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
A life-altering decision made earlier this year will soon start reaping rewards. And if you had any lingering regrets about your chosen path, they should quickly evaporate and leave you feeling proud of past efforts.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
The reality today is you will not suffer fools gladly and the end result could be conflict in relationships. Wherever possible you must put distance between you and those you know will push your buttons.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
A tendency to view life through rose-coloured glasses could work for and against you. It will help you forgive the transgressions of others, but may also turn you into vulnerable prey for unworthy or manipulative types.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
A decision you make could have a secondary effect on your life. Nothing will be as simple as it seems on the surface and good things are likely to come in unexpected ways. Enjoy the successes and accolades.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
With the Moon in your sign you will be both passive and inclined to take the path of least resistance. You might come off second best in competitive situations, but relationships are more likely to flourish.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Avoid straying from the truth or allowing pessimism to creep into your psyche. Moon in the subliminal sector of your horoscope indicates a tendency to wallow and focus on the more negative aspects of your life.

YOUR DAY
Nitpicking planets make it harder to please people and no amount of persuasion will change the opinions of others. Rather than engaging in circular arguments or trying to justify points of view, autonomy is today's secret to success. Those who remain on the outer may be the happiest.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You may be deliciously flirtatious or restless for change. There is also a possibility you will hook up with someone who offers the missing piece to an emotional or vocational puzzle. Life will be both interesting and varied in months ahead, but rarely boring.
