Your Weekly Horoscope for August 29 – September 5

Cancer

June 22-July 22

Family life takes centre stage, prompting you to take on all manner of duties. You’ll also feel pressure to perform but it’s you squeezing the vice. Stop with the invisible deadlines and cut yourself some slack.

Leo

July 23-August 22

Your material and ethical values are up for review and perhaps discussion this week. Are you putting more emphasis on things or people that really don’t matter? If so, review your priorities and get them in the correct order.

Virgo

August 23-September 22

You’re known for your impeccable acumen as well as taste. A piece of furniture your previously thought above your price tag is still up for grabs, provided you use your smarts and gift of the gab to haggle.

Libra

September 23-October 22

You dislike confrontation but a situation is forcing your hand. However, eloquent Mercury in your sign will make the situation easier and you’ll feel empowered, not to mention relieved.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 22

Mercury shifts into your sector of solitude, so put up the “gone fishing” sign and relish guilt-free seclusion. Meanwhile, stick to the facts and avoid jumping to conclusions.

Sagittarius

November 23-December 20

Put your best foot forward by rethinking your appearance, attitude and impact on others. At the same time, celebrate your uniqueness and be comfortable in your own skin.

Capricorn

December 21-January 19

The finish line is in sight but don’t race. There are still a few things that need attention and attending to seemingly trifling issues will make the difference between mediocrity and greatness.

Aquarius

January 20-February 18

You’ve had more than your fair share of confrontation, but while there’s nothing wrong with keeping the peace, it shouldn’t be at your own expense. View these trying times as an opportunity to be assertive, tougher and more resilient.

Pisces

February 19-March 20

The planets create a wealth of chances, but these glittering prizes won’t come in a pretty package with a bow on top. You’ll need to be perceptive enough to recognise vague possibilities as golden opportunities, so take off your blinkers.
