Harvest time... New Moon in Virgo on Thursday

Virgo

You are up for the fight in the first half of the week. Not content with surface appearances, you dive deep in debate and confront issues where before you skated over the surface. Taboo matters come to the fore on Sunday and a romantic obsession needs someone to share. You have a taste for the finer things and a generous gift opens a close partner’s heart. Private research uncovers new information and you fight for a cause with no thought of reward. Thursday’s New Moon in Virgo is a turnaround point in your year – take stock and target a big ambition.

Libra

You have an aura of attractiveness and a simple remark has a powerful effect. Venus, your principal planet, sits comfortably and you put people at their ease. You see both sides of a friend’s argument and playing the good cop brings warring parties round the table. Saturday’s Libra Moon is pivotal for a relationship change.

Scorpio

You have a new lease of energy and love to make a splash. Adulation comes at work and you are happy to receive it. Your creativity is in overdrive and a new philosophy  arrives through your artistic endeavours. You do secrecy very well, and Saturday’s behind-closed-doors liaison works best with just you and one special person.

Sagittarius

Take charge with ease and make your travel and study plans. You are creative and opinionated, and debate with a mentor figure frees your mind. Break down boundaries between you and somebody close – you have the nerve to take love where before you feared to tread. Your yoga workout is heavy-going but the rewards are even better.

Capricorn

Wise and deliberate, you express yourself smartly and offer good advice. A project that takes time and energy comes together with one smart idea. Read and study widely on Thursday and combine classic texts with your own insight. Your partner has rich experience and you are both broadminded enough for an honest debate.

Aquarius

Your most outré thoughts are shared by a soul-mate on your level. People-planet Venus closes the gap and you come across in smooth and plausible style. Your energy dips mid-week, but you spring back with a touch of the mystical at Thursday’s New Moon. Get your paperwork straight and you can split the bill on a big project.

Pisces

A spark of inspiration arrives and somebody picks your idea up and runs with it. Between your starry vision and your partner’s sharp thinking, you make a stellar team. You have the ears of a higher-up and putting in a performance propels you up the ranks. Turn on the charm and an injection of outside finance arrives on Saturday.

Aries

Staying true to yourself means shocking your nearest and dearest. Uranus, planet of innovation, brings a genius idea which breaks up your everyday rituals. Still, you haven’t forgotten the personal touch and it pays to exhaust diplomatic routes. Thursday’s practical New Moon favours a new diet and updated gym membership.

Taurus

You remodel your world and ask if some ambitions are worth the candle. Some are, in which case, redouble your efforts. Draw a line through others which sap your energy – positive avenues take their place when you make space. Don’t work hard, work smart. An animal companion is pure therapy and earns you good karmic points.

Gemini

A quality personal performance adds lustre to your native wit. Venus, planet of love, sits sweetly and there’s no dilemma between duty and fun – enjoy both. Romance strikes when you least expect. Volunteer for overtime and the rewards give you excellent value. Invest in your education and find a cause to donate to.

Cancer

Your philosophic mood is a luxury and you ask the big questions. A peak experience appears as a fleeting vision, but this is the closest you come to your true Self. You have the gumption to make things happen and have the boss onside. Sunday’s Cancer Moon makes you feel at home wherever you happen to be.

Leo

Make the most of your energy surge. You are in feisty mood and want to fight all your battles at once. Make your efforts count and pick up the slack with a spot of tai chi. Read the financial pages and get the most mileage from your money. Thursday’s New Moon finds you in good voice and you build a platform for success.
