Starwatch

CANCER (June 22 to July 23)

The stars highlight getting involved in charitable work with a global reach, or lending a hand to someone closer to home. But don’t accept things at face value today — take the time to look a little deeper.

LEO (July 24 to Aug 23)

It’s not your royal Leo right to control everything — and everyone — around you. Today you’ll discover that true serenity lies in accepting others as they are, rather than trying to change them.

VIRGO (Aug 24 to Sept 23)

You’re fixated on something and won’t rest until it’s resolved. By all means be thorough and determined about finding a solution, but avoid getting drawn into power games and ego clashes.

LIBRA (Sept 24 to Oct 23)

There’s a heavy feeling in the air, as people carry over the intensity of the last few days. So lighten the atmosphere with your natural talent for peace-making and smoothing troubled waters.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 to Nov 22)

Scorpios are born organisers. In fact some brave souls would call you a control freak! Today, aim to relinquish control and let someone else be boss, otherwise you’ll run out of steam — and friends.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23 to Dec 22)

Many people will be on the defensive but if you avoid mentioning sex and money, you should get through the day OK! Look for proactive ways to make money doing something you love.

CAPRICORN (Dec 23 to Jan 20)

The spotlight is on you at work this afternoon, so make sure you are putting on a good show. And do your best to be extra diplomatic — and understanding — with a stressed family member.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21 to Feb 19)

Self-esteem issues step into the spotlight today. So it’s a suitable time to have a good long look at a personal issue, or help a loved one as they embark on their own healing journey.

PISCES (Feb 20 to Mar 20)

Conversations will be complicated, as you dig beneath the surface and get to the bottom of an old emotional issue. True healing comes from sharing your experiences and vulnerabilities with others.

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 20)

Bossy demands will attract strong reactions from others. Instead, tune into the healing planetary energy as you patch up personal problems, and deal with disagreements in a helpful and therapeutic way.

TAURUS (Apr 21 to May 20)

It’s a good day for focused study and intense conversations. Keep your jealous/ possessive streak in check though. Sharing the affection around doesn’t mean there’s less love for you.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 21)

The more energy and effort you put into healing your home life, the more safe and secure you’ll feel at work and in the wider world. Family is the foundation that holds everything else up.
