Illustration of Leo zodiac sign.

As Mercury swings back in your own star space, there can be some confusion about which goal to choose next.

Try not to put pressure on yourself, but give a decision space to breathe.

In love? Yes, you love to be the center of attention, but turn the spotlight on a partner this week.

Single? Your fate mate is so comfortable in their own skin and lights up any room.

DESTINY DAYS

Focus on just one name from a love list on Monday; let your heart choose.

Saturday, you’re a charity bargain champion, and on Sunday, you can reunite friends or family.

What is your star sign's element?

In astrology, the elements — Air, Water, Earth, and Fire signs — serve as foundational principles that influence the characteristics and behaviours associated with the twelve star signs.

Earth signs: Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn

The Earth signs are grounded in the tangible and practical aspects of life, embodying the stable and nurturing qualities of their element. These signs are known for their pragmatism, reliability, and strong connection to the physical world, often excelling in matters that require patience and persistence.

Air Signs: Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius

The Air signs are characterised by their intellectual, communicative, and social nature. This reflects the light and dynamic essence of their elemental influence. Overall, these signs tend to excel in the realms of ideas, relationships, and innovation, bringing a breath of fresh air to their interactions and thought processes.

Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces

The Water element signs are profoundly impacted by their element. With each astrological sign, water gives way to emotional depth, strong intuition, and a capacity for deep empathy and connection.

Fire Signs: Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius

Fuelled by the element of Fire, these fire signs in astrology are known for their passion, boldness, energy, enthusiasm, courage, and a zest for life that often leads them to adventurous and creative endeavours.

LUCKY LINKS

A book with initials in its title, a song with a catchy chorus, or a four-digit number code that ends in “5.”

SELF-DISCIPLINE

Instead of laughing off or ignoring gaps in education or experience, Saturn’s retrograde spurs you to do something about this.

You have six weeks to take yourself and your dreams seriously; it’s never too late to learn.

SELF-DIRECTION

After six weeks, Saturn will transit back into Pisces until Spring 2026, and for you, this means staying true to a deep need to know more about one, or maybe more, special people.

When you make your mind up, make sure you follow through.

LUCKY LINKS

A house by water or with “Water” in its name, the family member with the longest name, or numbers that add up to 19.

SELF-DISCIPLINE

Quick-witted, curious Gemini is usually two steps ahead of other, less forward-facing signs, but as Saturn spins back, try to work through problems methodically rather than rushing in and trusting to chance.

Ask for help and accept it when offered.

SELF-DIRECTION

Saturn stays in reverse for six weeks in your connections zone, then returns to your goal-setting sector until February next year.

So, if you know you’ve dithered over getting some key objectives nailed down, this can be your moment.

But ambitions must be yours alone.

Cash delay may feel like frustration – but it can be there for a reason. 

As Saturn switches into reverse, there may be facts or figures you have missed, or mismatched. 

So do take any opportunity to check again.  Sticking to a set of passion principles may seem strong, but can weaken you. 

Try only to follow rules you truly believe are for the best. 

A “D” address can be a luck-link. 

DESTINY DAYS: Monday and Thursday work for making, or breaking, contacts. Try a new work route again on Friday. 

An unusual accent delivers family news on Sunday.

LUCKY LINKS: A building with a black fence. A fun card that carries a serious message.  A former boss who shares your initial. 

SELF-DISCIPLINE: As Saturn travels backwards in your cash chart, your challenge is to control what you can in money terms, but let go of any areas that are impossible to plan.

It’s not easy to feel insecure, or unprotected – but this is how you can grow in cash confidence. 

SELF-DIRECTION: You’re such a loving sign, but as Saturn dips back into your personal space until next Valentine’s Day, you’re ready to refresh bonds of trust, and cut those that don’t match your expectations. 

Do this without looking back.

Work paths that are too predictable may not feel like a match for you – but Saturn’s new direction does suggest you are at a career crossroads.

The right work future can be very different to your past. 

The moon’s focus all week is on emotional security, finding it and keeping it – yes, you can do this for yourself. 

Love that surprises you most can also satisfy you most.

DESTINY DAYS: Explore a new set of romance rules on Monday and Tuesday. Your willpower is especially strong on days that include an “S”.

LUCKY LINKS: A doorway with a tiled step.   A souvenir from an “M” location.  A piece of music you heard played live. 

SELF-DISCIPLINE: Saturn’s retrograde could challenge you by bringing delays to dates, deliveries and decisions. 

But this new Saturn route also stirs up your professional profile, placing you in a new position before you get the chance to protest, or find an excuse.

Apply yourself to this, as it can be a career first.

SELF-DIRECTION: On September 1, Saturn shifts back into your creativity sector until Valentine’s Day 2026. 

So you get a chance to shine in unique ways in love and life – do accept this challenge to start expressing the very best version of yourself.

Work and wellbeing both vibrate with a new sense of Uranus spontaneity. 

This means you could make some choices this week that answer questions you did not even realise you were asking, of your deepest self. But when you know, you know.

Family or neighbourly grudges need not be written in stone, no matter what other people say.

Passion links to “G”. 

DESTINY DAYS: Tuesday and Thursday,  go on an all-house, all-pockets hunt for forgotten tickets. This weekend is when the biggest passion promises can be made, and kept.

LUCKY LINKS: A set of rhyming words.  The friend who most makes you laugh.  A family who run a business together. 

SELF-DISCIPLINE: Family-based harmony may be hard to hang on to for the next six weeks – as Saturn’s retrograde destabilises your home sector.

This can lead to temper trials, or inter-generation irritation – being prepared for this can put you one step ahead. So do work on your patience.  

SELF-DIRECTION: In early September Saturn returns to your communication chart until spring 2026. 

Instead of seeking validation from other people, work on creating your own positive, but realistic, inner supportive voice. 

Then you can support and encourage yourself to find the next perfect path forward.

I had to dismiss a negligent apprentice who is now threatening to take action. What should I do?

Promotional image for "Fabulous Bossing It."

APPRENTICE star and West Ham United vice-chair Karren Brady answers your careers questions.

Here, Karren gives her expert advice to a reader who had to dismiss a negligent apprentice.

Woman in green top and leather skirt.
Karren Brady gives you career advice

Q) I run a pet-grooming business and the safety of our animals is of the utmost importance.

I employed an apprentice, ensuring I gave him plenty of training and detailed instructions.

But after a few months, I noticed he was cutting corners and leaving pets unsupervised.

After speaking to him about this on numerous occasions, I eventually had to dismiss him.

Now he has a vendetta against me, claiming his role was meant to be work experience for his veterinary course.

He has threatened to get his university involved, as well as his parents, saying I’ve been unfair and unprofessional.

While these are baseless claims, it’s a lot to deal with.

What can I do?

Kara, via email

A) You absolutely did the right thing by putting the safety of the animals you look after first, however difficult the conversations with your trainee were.

In roles that involve trust, responsibility and the wellbeing of animals or people, there is no room for repeated carelessness.

To protect yourself and your business going forward, keep thorough records of everything – specific incidents, reminders, one-to-one conversations and any formal or informal feedback you’ve given, along with dates and times.

If you are contacted by your former trainee’s family or university, respond professionally and stick to the facts.

Make it clear that the dismissal was due to consistent breaches of safety protocols and not a personal grievance.

If he continues to make false or harmful claims, report his actions through the appropriate channels as harassment or defamation.

You’ve built your business on high standards, care and professionalism – don’t let this situation shake your confidence or distract you from what you do so well.
