CANCER (June 22 to July 23)

Expect some powerplays in close relationsh­ips today, Crabs. If you try to control others, then you’ll just end up feeling extremely stressed. So relax, pace yourself, and take things one step at a time.

LEO (July 24 to Aug 23)

The sun forms a tricky connection with Pluto, so avoid being a prima donna, getting drawn into pointless dramas with others, and causing a whole heap of problems. Put on your humility hat instead.

VIRGO (Aug 24 to Sept 23)

A relationsh­ip with a child, teenager or close friend looks stressful and frustratin­g today, so aim be less regimented and more subtle in your approach. There’s a lot more going on than meets the eye.

LIBRA (Sept 24 to Oct 23)

Have you been avoiding family members? Neglect loved ones at your peril today, Libra. If others believe you’re not pulling your weight, then they will let you know exactly how they feel.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 to Nov 22)

The more domineerin­g and strident you are today, the more you’ll attract opposition from those around you. Also, if you bring up grievances from the past, then it will also lead to conflict with others.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov 23 to Dec 22)

Bossy behaviour is on the agenda today, both from you and a whole lot of other people as well. Someone will need to cool down and co-operate, otherwise it will just be a long and stressful day.

CAPRICORN (Dec 23 to Jan 20)

The more you try to assert your authority — especially with loved ones — the more dismal the day will be. Just remember, you can’t be the boss all the time, so strive to be much more democratic.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21 to Feb 19)

Are people aware of all the work you’re doing behind the scenes? Your efforts will be noticed further down the track, so don’t feel frustrated if others fail to show their appreciati­on today.

PISCES (Feb 20 to Mar 20)

Have you been procrastin­ating about making a decision? A friend or acquaintan­ce may try to bulldoze you into taking action. Only do so if it is truly what you want to do. Trust your intuition.

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 20)

A colleague or family member may make you feel guilty about how you are juggling work responsibi­lities and domestic duties. If you react with anger, then you’ll end up with a power struggle on your hands.

TAURUS (Apr 21 to May 20)

Someone may try to get you to do something you don’t want to do today, either in person or online. Don’t worry too much, Taurus. Just keep doing your own thing in your own steady way.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 21)

If you say the first thing that pops into your head, then you’ll find yourself in hot water. Current relationsh­ips are more complicate­d — and situations more complex — than they appear on the surface.
