Your stars for the week commencing 30 August 2010

HUNG PARLIAMENT UPDATE:
The political deadlock continues, which is so indicative of the Saturn/Pluto square [which was exact on election day]. Saturn/Pluto transits are extremely frustrating, and are all about the difficulties involved in transforming old structures. With Pluto [the sign of regeneration] now in early Capricorn [the sign of government] – which only happens every 248 years – we have a rare opportunity for political reform and the birth of a new style of government. Let’s hope the politicians in Canberra can rise to the challenge. But, with Mercury retrograding until September 13, it will be a couple of weeks before we get any sort of resolution – and don’t rule out the possibility of another election!

Aries – March 21 to April 20

You prefer to work on your own but this week’s stars favour nurturing partnerships, stabilising your support network, and taking on more responsibilities than usual. Single Rams are in the mood for romance but don’t assume things will fall effortlessly into place. Expect a few hiccups [and false-starts] before true love comes calling.

Taurus – April 21 to May 21

The Moon’s in your sign early in the week which boosts your determination and your stubbornness. Knowing when to hold on and when to let go is the secret to success at the moment. Watch out for crossed wires with children, teenagers, friends – or a new lover. It’s time to polish up on your communication skills Taurus. You’ll need them!

Gemini – May 22 to June 21

Expect mix-ups with family members, as Mercury reverses through your domestic zone [until September 13]. Make sure what you say is what you mean, or it could backfire on you later. Venus, Mars and Saturn are all visiting your romance zone so, when it comes to finding [and keeping] love, you need to be romantic, proactive and persistent.

Cancer – June 22 to July 23

You’re in the mood to streamline your domestic space as you renovate or style up a storm. The more organized you are at home, the more enthusiastic you’ll feel about work, relationships – and the future. The weekend highlights entertaining at home, as you impress someone with your culinary skills, romantic heart and sentimental soul.

Leo – July 24 to August 23

Lively Leos have a tendency to burn the candle at both ends. Slow down and look after your health. As birthday boy Charlie Sheen points out “It ain’t the years, it’s the mileage.” And be extra careful with your finances, as the Sun links up with retro Mercury in your money zone. If you must sign contracts, check the fine print thoroughly first.

Virgo – August 24 to September 23

Loved ones behave unpredictably mid-week so be a versatile Virgo and expect the unexpected. The Sun and retro Mercury join up in your sign on Saturday, when you’re at your fastidious, fact-finding best – and your neurotic, nit-picking worst! If you are too critical of others, you’ll just drive them away. Relax and go with the flow.

Libra – September 24 to October 23

This week’s stars highlight your creativity – and your tendency to procrastinate. Librans can be fence sitters but you need to make a big decision soon, before someone else steps in and makes it for you. Love is in the air on Sunday but don’t spoil the romantic vibes by being totally unrealistic. For some lucky Librans, friendship finally turns into love.

Scorpio – October 24 to November 22

Expect major plans and cherished dreams to be put on hold for the next two weeks, as Mercury reverses through your hopes and wishes zone. A touch of tenacity and a pinch of patience will ease your frustration. Don’t blame others if things go wrong this week Scorpio – the only person who is likely to sabotage your progress is you!

Sagittarius – November 23 to December 21

It’s the perfect week for swashbuckling Sadges, as romance and adventure are highlighted. So take your partner on a magical journey [or go off searching for a hot new love]. Keep plugging away at work – but don’t expect instant results. As birthday great Lily Tomlin observes “The road to success is always under construction.”

Capricorn – December 22 to January 20

Professional matters look better this week, so make the most of the lucky opportunities that come along. If you are traveling, allow plenty of time for disruptions and delays. Being open and emotionally available will draw a special person to you [who would normally stay away]. For some singles – Cupid pays a visit to your workplace.

Aquarius – January 21 to February 19

Getting yourself further into financial debt is a recipe for disaster at the moment. By all means have fun, but don’t break the bank. With the Sun and Mercury in your intimacy zone, creative communication is required when it comes to romance. Singles – it’s time to be passionately proactive as you go looking for love and adventure.

Pisces – February 20 to March 20

Pisceans are confusing at the best of times! Try to communicate clearly on Thursday, otherwise monumental mix-ups are likely. Sunday is the perfect day for romance and declarations of undying love, but make sure you adjust your rose-coloured glasses [and don’t get carried away with vague schemes and pie-in-the-sky dreams].
