The twelve signs on Saturday 19 September
-
Aries 21 March to 19 April
Let the queue win for once. Saturday moves at everyone’s pace before it moves at yours, and the queue at the returns desk this morning is proof of it.
-
Taurus 20 April to 20 May
The first properly cold morning. Autumn announces itself properly today, with the first morning worth a coat, and Saturday gives you the sense to notice it rather than push straight through in a T-shirt.
-
Gemini 21 May to 20 June
Talk fast, send the plain draft. Company turns up easily today, and Saturday hands you no fixed task to hide from it behind, which suits you fine.
-
Cancer 21 June to 22 July
Practical today, not tender. Practical suits you better than tender today, lists and errands rather than deep talk, while your ruling Moon eases into Capricorn before the day has properly started.
-
Leo 23 July to 22 August
Dinner for six, no shortcuts. The stage you actually like turns up today: not a crowd, just the right few people paying proper attention to something you made yourself.
-
Virgo 23 August to 22 September
One more week as the main event. The Sun’s turn in your sign is nearly over for the year, which is reason enough to enjoy the last of it rather than spend Saturday finding fault with how it went.
-
Libra 23 September to 22 October
Say the true thing, not tidy. Venus, your ruler, sits in Scorpio just now, pulling your usual fairness towards something blunter than you are used to offering.
-
Scorpio 23 October to 21 November
Not obliged to explain it all. Questions arrive today about a decision you have already made, and you are under no obligation to hand over the reasoning along with it.
-
Sagittarius 22 November to 21 December
Right route, wrong tone. Today runs quieter than yesterday did, and closer to home: near plans, short distances, a morning that will not stretch to anything grand.
-
Capricorn 22 December to 19 January
Still in real clothes at eleven. Everyone else in the house is still in pyjamas at eleven, and you are dressed, showered, and quietly disapproving of the pace, which the Moon’s early move into Capricorn, your own ground, only encourages.
-
Aquarius 20 January to 18 February
The fair answer, not the popular one. Splitting something fairly among friends becomes today’s small task, whatever it turns out to be, and the fair answer will not be the popular one.
-
Pisces 19 February to 20 March
Half the party is quite enough. A gathering today, a party or a crowded lunch, gives you more noise than you can process by mid-afternoon, however much you like the people in the room.

The twelve signs on Sunday 20 September
-
Aries 21 March to 19 April
Build it again, faster this time. Saturn is moving backwards through your sign just now, and something you finished months ago wants redoing.
-
Taurus 20 April to 20 May
Cake from the proper bakery. Slow is the house style today, and the Moon in Capricorn, another sign that likes a plan it can see, backs you up.
-
Gemini 21 May to 20 June
Enrol before the class fills. What would you study if no one ever marked it?
-
Cancer 21 June to 22 July
Leftovers packed for the train. The house empties this evening, one way or another, and you feel the shift before anyone picks up a bag.
-
Leo 23 July to 22 August
Worth a second look today. Nothing much is asked of you today, which is its own small test.
-
Virgo 23 August to 22 September
Spoons forgotten, picnic fine. If someone else is in charge of Sunday, they are probably doing it slightly wrong.
-
Libra 23 September to 22 October
The market in town or the sofa. A choice between two good Sundays sits on your plate this morning, and you only get one of them.
-
Scorpio 23 October to 21 November
Plain words, one phone call. Something is being tiptoed around in your family, and you have known exactly what it is for weeks.
-
Sagittarius 22 November to 21 December
Book the leave before October fills. Big plans come easily on a Sunday afternoon, the map open, the kettle on, next spring suddenly within reach.
-
Capricorn 22 December to 19 January
One hour of work, then shut it. The Moon stays in your sign all day, and Sunday feels suspiciously like a Monday that has not been told.
-
Aquarius 20 January to 18 February
An agenda for the residents’ meeting. Next Saturday brings the full moon, six days off, and there is a feeling of things coming to a head in the groups you belong to.
-
Pisces 19 February to 20 March
Sunday at half speed. Tiredness catches up with you today, the kind that has been waiting politely all week for a gap.
Your daily horoscope, from the real sky
Each reading starts from that day’s actual sky: the sign the Moon is passing through, its phase, which planets are retrograde, when the Sun changes sign. The twelve signs share the same day and take it twelve different ways, which is the only interesting thing about a zodiac.
There is no sign-up, no lucky number and no reading of your palm. What you get is a daily horoscope for each star sign, tomorrow’s as well, a look at the week ahead, and a portrait of each sign for when you want to know who you are dealing with.
