The week of 7 to 13 September for each star sign: love, work, body and mind, and the one day worth watching.

The twelve signs, 7 to 13 September

• Aries 21 March to 19 April

  A week that ends quieter than it starts. The first half of the week is loud and the second half is not, and for once that is the right way round.

• Taurus 20 April to 20 May

  The clear-out before the new month. The dark end of the lunar month suits your instinct to sort things out, and Friday’s new moon in Virgo is a good place to draw the line.

• Gemini 21 May to 20 June

  Fewer threads, more finished. Mercury spends most of the week in Virgo, which for you means detail arriving whether you sent for it or not: forms, dates, small print, the paragraph you skimmed.

• Cancer 21 June to 22 July

  The house first, then everything else. Mars is still in your own sign and it makes you braver than usual about the things you normally handle sideways.

• Leo 23 July to 22 August

  The last of the spotlight, then the sorting. The Moon is in your sign for the first half of the week, which makes those days yours to use rather than to admire.

• Virgo 23 August to 22 September

  Your new moon, and a fresh page. On Friday morning the new moon falls in your own sign, which is as clean a starting line as the year offers.

• Libra 23 September to 22 October

  Mercury arrives and so does the awkward half. The last fortnight has looked easier than it has been, which is how a small resentment gets to be a month old.

• Scorpio 23 October to 21 November

  Finish, clear, then begin. One item on your list has been carried forward since July and it will not improve with keeping; this is the week to end it rather than move it again.

• Sagittarius 22 November to 21 December

  Small print now, horizon later. Saturn has been retrograde in Aries all month and the practical translation has not changed: something you started in the spring wants finishing rather than extending.

• Capricorn 22 December to 19 January

  Put down the part that is not yours. You have taken on something nobody asked you to carry, and by the middle of the week it will be too late to give any of it back.

• Aquarius 20 January to 18 February

  One page to the right person. You can see the structural problem while everybody else argues about this week’s symptom, and the temptation is to be clever about it in a meeting.

• Pisces 19 February to 20 March

  Other people’s weather, and yours. You have been carrying a fortnight of other people’s moods and some of it has started to look like your own.
