Starwatch

CANCER (June 22 to July 23)

Waiting for opportunities to come to you is a sound strategy for cautious Crabs. And, with Mars still in retrograde mode, it’s a plan of action that will work particularly well at the moment.

LEO (July 24 to Aug 23)

With the sun shifting into your sign, it’s time to be bold and beautiful. As Madonna — a fellow Leo — confidently declares: “I stand for doing what you believe in, and going after your dreams.”

VIRGO (Aug 24 to Sept 23)

Stop for a while and smell the roses. You’re keen to help others today but make sure you put aside some time for solo pursuits as well. Solitude is soul food for you at the moment.

LIBRA (Sept 24 to Oct 23)

Laidback Librans are in the mood for a long, lazy and languid day. But the universe has other ideas! It’s time to roll up your sleeves and assist someone who needs your help ASAP.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 to Nov 22)

You’ll make progress at work if you charm colleagues and network with acquaintances. Deft diplomacy and strategic socialising will definitely get you a lot further than making demands.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23 to Dec 22)

The sun and Mercury rev up your adventurous side. But impulsive Mars is still reversing through your communication zone. So beware the tendency to put your foot firmly in your mouth.

CAPRICORN (Dec 23 to Jan 20)

Capricorns are in detective mode. You’ll enjoy reading a murder mystery or researching a topic that intrigues you. If you look beneath the surface, you’ll discover what’s really going on.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21 to Feb 19)

You’re in the mood to compromise, as Venus bestows harmonious vibes and you strive for peace in your close partnerships. But retrograde Mars also stirs up your restless side.

PISCES (Feb 20 to Mar 20)

It’s a day when the lines between fact and fantasy could become blurred. Your imagination is firing, but it’s not a good time to make momentous decisions. Be patient and wait.

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 20)

The Leo Sun shines on relationships with children, teenagers and close friends today. Focus on the similarities you share with others, as you celebrate their strengths and encourage their dreams.

TAURUS (Apr 21 to May 20)

Bulls are in the mood for some peaceful rest and relaxation — preferably at home. So it’s a suitable time to beautify your living space via a quick clean-up and de-clutter. Then sit back and put your feet up.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 21)

The sun and Mercury stir up your restless side. So you’re keen to take a trip, or plan one for the near future. Mars is still retrograde though, so make sure you double-check all travel arrangements.
