Mercury (Hobart)

Star watch

-

SAGITTARIU­S Money matters look (Nov complicate­d 23 to Dec 22) today, especially if you are behind with paying bills. The more discipline­d and proactive you are now, the more manageable your financial future will be.

CAPRICORN (Dec 23 to Jan 20) Conscienti­ous Capricorn, your perfection­ist side is likely to go into overdrive as the stars amp up your obsession with perfection. But others may find your standards far too demanding.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21 to Feb 19) When it comes to a financial matter or a business deal, be cautious. Things aren’t as straightfo­rward as they seem. Don’t put your head in the sand — make sure you do your homework thoroughly.

PISCES (Feb 20 to Mar 20) Words can hurt or heal today. So, if in doubt, bite your tongue and keep quiet. In the words of poet Emily Dickinson, who was born on this day: “Saying nothing … sometimes says the most.”

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 20) Relationsh­ips at home or work could be challengin­g today. Expect loved ones to be extra demanding and colleagues, clients or customers to be more defensive than usual. So try to tread carefully.

TAURUS (Apr 21 to May 20) Strive to be at your diplomatic best today. The more you dig your heels in and refuse to budge, the more frustratin­g the day will be. Instead, keep the lines of communicat­ion wide open.

GEMINI Avoid getting (May drawn 21 to June into 21) annoying disputes with family and friends. Today will work best if you keep your nose out of others people’s business, and have fun doing things you enjoy.

CANCER (June 22 to July 23) Expect an emotionall­y intense day as the planets stir up excitement and unpredicta­ble moods. So avoid making any important decisions until you’re feeling much more sensible and settled.

LEO (July 24 to Aug 23) You’re keen to persuade others but avoid using manipulati­on to achieve your aims. The more entrenched you are in your views, the more stressful things will be. So take a chill pill.

VIRGO (Aug 24 to Sept 23) Relations with a child, teenager or close friend look intense and unpredicta­ble today so try to be extra patient. But the stars do favour networking with people within your local community.

LIBRA (Sept 24 to Oct 23) Expect some drama as the moon and Pluto stir up old grievances with a family member or work colleague. Use your diplomatic talents to help find practical solutions to pressing problems.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 to Nov 22) The moon links up with Pluto so your obsessive-compulsive side is likely to take over. If you sweat the small stuff, you’ll just end up feeling stressed and exhausted by the end of the day.
