Stars for fun

$ VIRGO SkL Aug. 24-Sep. 23 Mercury makes a strategic square to Neptune today, hopefully drawing to a close a period in which you have been pressing your mental capacities to the limit, coping with fresh work and dreaming up new ideas. You will start to notice a more relaxed mood quite soon. LIBRA Q Sep. 24-Oct. 23 It is all change this week as Venus prepares to move from one sign to another. The fact that Mercury, planet of communication, is now in your sign should make you more willing to discuss your plans than you have often been in the past. qMX SCORPIO Oct. 24-Nov. 22 The imminent entry of Venus into your tenth house of career is bound to focus your attention on your pro-

fessional situation with renewed urgency, if only because you sense the potential for improvement. SAGITTARIUS > Nov. 23-Dec. 22 You should consider yourself fortunate that Venus, the ruler of love and emotion, is about to enter your ninth solar house. For the next four weeks, this planet will bring a moderating influence to your ambitions, helping you to forget the excesses of the past. CAPRICORN Dec. 23-Jan. 20 Consider all your options very carefully. It is indeed possible that the time has come to make a clean break in a partnership that no longer pleases you and does not correspond to your self-image and ideas about where your life is heading. AQUARIUS Jan. 21-Feb. 19 The Sun in Virgo continues to send you helpful financial influences, but somehow you are not quite

happy about your current direction. Perhaps you have taken on too many responsibilities, and are beginning to feel slightly the worse for wear. pisces Feb. 20-Mar. 20 You have tended to ignore financial details in the past and you are all too aware of the occasions on which you have lost out as a result. Mercury is now about to enter your eighth house of finance and it is essential that you take the opportunity to plan ahead. ARIES Mar. 21-Apr. 20 What is bothering you is the continuing uncertainty that surrounds a family relationship. Try to be more decisive and take the initiative in easing a situation that has reached an impasse. TAURUS 1 Apr. 21-May 21 When the Moon makes stressful aspects, as it does

today, it tends to bring your already intense emotions to the surface. It really is useful to let other people know exactly what you are feeling. GEMINI /LfA May 22-Jun. 21 Discretion is a valuable commodity today. There will be plenty of opportunities very soon to spread your ideas around, persuading friends and colleagues that you are right. In the meantime, however, quiet reflection is more appropriate. CANCER ? WQ Jun. 22-Jul. 23 The fact that Venus is about to leave your sign should come as a relief, if only because you will be under less pressure to keep up with social events, and better able to arrange your own schedule, taking time off when necessary. LEO bCxL Jul. 24-Aug. 23 You are entering a period in which it will be much more necessary to share your plans with close friends and partners than has often been the case in the past. At all costs, avoid people who delight in spreading gossip.
