AUG 24 – SEP 23

Your horoscope is awash with activity, but if you’re feeling the strain, finding the right balance might be this month’s challenge.

Aquarius

JAN 21 – FEB 19 This could be a busy month, but relax, you’re up to the task! Getting on top of paperwork might consume some Aquarians, but avoid the advice of an opinionate­d person.

Taurus

APR 21 – MAY 21 Pleasant surprises are heading your way, but first, get the boring stuff (like paying bills) sorted.

The cosmos is stabilisin­g your life, and hopefully restoring order to your finances, but firm up your footing before taking on anything new.
