Starwatch

GEMINI (May 21 to June 21)

Time-poor Twins, you are keen to plunge into a project ASAP, but make sure you do all the necessary homework first. Otherwise there will be mix-ups and general mayhem along the way.

CANCER (June 22 to July 23)

Hey Crabs, Mars is charging through your sign, so spend less time sidestepping and more time doing. Be inspired by painter Pablo Picasso, who said: “One must act in painting as in life, directly.”

LEO (July 24 to Aug 23)

Venus boosts career prospects, professional projects and workplace relations. Also you will find that the more creatively you communicate with colleagues, the more satisfying the day will be.

VIRGO (Aug 24 to Sept 23)

Mars encourages you to activate your hopes and wishes for the future. However, don’t be a solo Virgo. You will need the creative input and co-operation of others to make your dreams come true.

LIBRA (Sept 24 to Oct 23)

You are keen to assist others, but don’t let them take advantage of your helpful nature and your need to serve. Make sure it’s a two-way street. The stars favour being more proactive at work.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 to Nov 22)

You should feel right at home today, Scorpio, as the moon moves through your sign. Communicating with a loved one on a deep emotional level makes the day a very satisfying one.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23 to Dec 22)

You will enjoy your own company, as you tune into your inner self and work on personal projects. Your intuition and imagination are firing, so don’t waste the chance to do something special.

CAPRICORN (Dec 23 to Jan 20)

Positive aspects provide the opportunity to heal a rickety relationship. Also, diplomatic Venus and proactive Mars encourage you to stop arguing and hold out the olive branch of peace.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21 to Feb 19)

All forms of study and research are favoured, especially at work, as you use your powers of deduction to uncover hidden information. No secret is safe from an inquisitive Aquarian.

PISCES (Feb 20 to Mar 20)

The focus is on communication and community, as you make a contribution within your neighbourhood. However, you will have to be diplomatic, because not everyone will appreciate what you are offering.

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 20)

Friendships with females are favoured, as you enjoy the company of like-minded souls. However, avoid getting carried away when you go shopping, because you feel the need to indulge yourself.

TAURUS (Apr 21 to May 20)

Venus is moving through your sign until July 5. That means it’s a terrific time to indulge in Taurean passions such as cooking, decorating, renovating, gardening, music, art work or craft projects.
