Horoscopes: 31 August-6 September
Tussles with ‘authority’ figures have left you spiky and rattled, with obstructive Saturn opposite your sign. The planet’s change of direction this week will help you better understand where you stand on an issue, so that compromise is one option. What will also improve your mood is good news on the money front, probably arising from a family development.
The dominant Leo theme has to do with career, status and work, with turbulence tending to operate in your favour. So, welcome the sudden changes that you are experiencing. And trust your instincts to forge ahead with a new idea, even if it seems to imperil your standing. In a time of quiet revolution, it’s best not to stand still.
Commercial matters dominate as Mercury moves through Virgo for a brief fortnight – there is no better time to make deals or sales, or to discover new ways to find an advantage in business or trade. Your natural gift for nit-picking may annoy a few other people, yet a discovery made through critical analysis will earn you the grudging respect that you deserve.
With Saturn turning direct this week (it went retrograde last April), expect a significant home development after several recent weeks of delay or inertia. This could be to do with a family situation or major refurbishment. Meanwhile, social life continues to sparkle, and there’s still time for a successful style makeover, with image ruler Venus in Libra.
While volatility in your circle of friends, allies or associates may be of concern, there is much to be gained from accepting certain changes or even eruptions of temperament which ordinarily would leave you disenchanted or disorientated. By letting people get on with a project in their own way, one beneficiary of this ‘creative chaos’ will be you.
If you’re feeling a little fragility over finances, join the club! While such fears may be real or imagined, what’s slowly dawning on you is the scale of your ambition. You want more, but material risk is involved intaking a new step – is it better to stick to the devil you know? Saturn’s move direct this week proposes an answer.
Just about every Capricorn I know has come through a major life episode in the past year or so, which has left you feeling vulnerable. A new life pathway really is opening up but, of course, there will be snags and self-doubts: these diminish this week through a new awareness or a progressive event that reminds you there’s everything to play for.
Anyone else might think that certain people in your family have taken leave of their senses. All these sudden comings and goings and screaming matches! However, you know better. In your mind all this comes under the label ‘evolution’. Something had to give to improve or end one situation, and from your vantage point you can see the advantages to follow.
After all the latest power struggles, how lovely to enjoy a romantic interlude with one’s partner or lover. Or, if matters of the heart are not your thing right now, a very productive business deal is in the offing. Even quite rancorous personal or professional bonds will sweeten as you find the words of diplomacy – peace breaks out at last.

A very stimulating time approaches, if it has not already arrived, marked by new faces, stimulating talk and perhaps rapid likes and dislikes. This energy spills into your love and work lives, and if you’re in a stick-in-the-mud mood, you may be unsettled. But altogether this influence opens you to new ideas and unexpected opportunity. Go with the flow and embrace newcomers.
The winning mood continues as ruler Mercury forms an enchanting link with Venus, blessing personal passions and whatever you decide to put into words, whether they are written or spoken. Quite possibly, a new relationship of some kind is forged because someone spots a personal quality that you are usually adept at concealing. You are a lot kinder than feared, and this intrigues some useful people.
