Star watch

CANCER (June 22 to July 23)

Relations with loved ones or work colleagues could be problematic today as you feel the need to control an uncontrollable situation. Try to be more objective and don’t take things so personally.

LEO (July 24 to Aug 23)

Formulate your ideas carefully and creatively today, as you have the power to influence others. When it comes to a child, teenager or close friend, avoid getting drawn into an argument.

VIRGO (Aug 24 to Sept 23)

Have you been doing a lot of work behind the scenes but haven’t been getting any feedback or praise? Others will soon start to appreciate your efforts. You’ll just have to be extra patient.

LIBRA (Sept 24 to Oct 23)

Today you may be called on to smooth troubled waters involving a relative or close friend. Tension is building, so do all you can to tactfully diffuse a potentially tricky situation.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 to Nov 22)

Your self-esteem could take a temporary dive today, as you question your talents. Don’t stress — the more openly you communicate your ideas, the more positive the outcome will be.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23 to Dec 22)

Love and duty are linked at the moment. So accept what you need to do with a smile. Keep your heart turned towards the future, rather than dwelling on problems and issues from the past.

CAPRICORN (Dec 23 to Jan 20)

Delay making an important decision, as you may feel a conflict between intuition and intellect. And try to put aside time for rest and relaxation, otherwise your stress levels will rise.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21 to Feb 19)

Close emotional connections will be hard to come by today as other people focus on their own problems. So strive to do your own thing in your highly individual way.

PISCES (Feb 20 to Mar 20)

Others appreciate your artistic Piscean nature today but you must strive to be creative and productive. Fabulous ideas are no good if you don’t put them into practise, so get going!

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 20)

It’s a good day to play sport, formulate creative ideas, get together with family and friends or pursue a favourite hobby. But resist the urge to be bossy, brusque or overly critical.

TAURUS (Apr 21 to May 20)

When it comes to a work issue or a domestic problem, you may feel torn between what you’re thinking and what you’re feeling. So avoid making any longterm decisions today.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 21)

You’re in the mood to help out in your local community. But are you taking your relationship responsibilities seriously? Some Geminis will revisit an old romance via an online connection.
