ARIES
March 21 - April 20
Feeling confused or disorientated, Aries? It's wise not to push yourself too hard. The best way to handle this may be to switch off and take a break. If something is invading your peace of mind for no obvious reason, turn your attention to something freeing and therapeutic. Better still, engage in enjoyable activities that feed your muse - soon you'll feel recharged. -
TAURUS
April 21 - May 21
Conversations may not flow as smoothly now, Taurus. It could be a friend who seems distant or someone at work who is offhand. You might also doubt the potential of a creative idea when in fact it holds promise. Try to be philosophical, as some days bring more shade than light - and this could be one of them. -
GEMINI
May 22 - June 21
If you're struggling to stick with something that's good for you, it may be because you're focusing more on the process than the benefits. It doesn't need to be ambitious - learning a small skill or taking steady steps towards a goal could be enough. Making a pledge and keeping it, regardless of mood, could soon lead to valuable improvements. -
CANCER
June 22 - July 23
Mercury, currently at home in Virgo, sharpens your mind and puts the focus on detail. But with Saturn in Pisces in opposition, you may feel as though a brilliant idea has to pass a test first. This face-off could bring delays, doubts or added responsibilities, but it's also a chance to refine your plans until they're watertight. Think of it as finessing, not a roadblock. Patience and precision will prevail. -
LEO
July 24 - August 23
You could spend time thinking about the direction of your life and what you might do to improve it. You may be aware of emotional baggage holding you back - and this is a good time to let some of it go. Streamlining your finances could also relieve stress and enable you to set money goals you're genuinely motivated to work towards. -
VIRGO
August 24 - September 23
Don't plan too far ahead right now, as things are liable to shift. What seems important could be overtaken by something that carries higher priority. With unexpected events still in play for a few days, you'll fare better if you keep things simple. You'll need time to make best use of sudden developments, which could also open exciting new doors. -
LIBRA
September 24 - October 23
With chatty Mercury opposing stern Saturn, your mind may be set on making downtime and relaxation non-negotiable. If you're feeling the weight of responsibilities and know it's time to streamline routines, this aspect can inspire balance. Simplifying your schedule isn't just a luxury - it's a necessity. Want to avoid burnout? Prioritise wisely, Libra. -
SCORPIO
October 24 - November 22
You might feel a sense of distance from a friend who once felt close. It could stir a longing to reconnect, and if so, don't let pride stop you. Reaching out first could bridge the gap that has grown. Saturn's influence reminds you that meaningful relationships are worth the effort, enriching you and your life in countless ways. -
SAGITTARIUS
November 23 - December 21
You may be excited about an ambitious plan, if it weren't for the issues blocking you. Dwell on them too long and they could seem insurmountable, when in reality they may not be. With just a little confidence, the way can open up. With Jupiter, your optimistic guide planet, boosting self-belief at a deep level, it's worth making a bold move. -
CAPRICORN
December 22 - January 20
If you're travelling today, especially long haul or using public transport, check your schedule carefully. Planning and precision can help you avoid snags. Emails and texts may also benefit from extra care. Differences of opinion could show up, but equally this is a chance to clarify and reinforce boundaries. -
AQUARIUS
January 21 - February 19
While you may be eager for a project to gain momentum, don't rush. Today's edgy Mercury/Saturn clash can dampen spirits, but it also suggests double-checking costs. Ensure everything is workable, and refine elements if necessary. Still, with your usual flair and creativity, you could surprise yourself with how much you achieve. -
PISCES
February 22 - March 20
With analytical Mercury facing off against Saturn in your sign, you might view someone through a cloudy lens. This perspective could skew your judgment, making you more wary than necessary. Before you dismiss them, open up the conversation. A little patience and understanding can reveal hidden depths - both in others and in yourself.
