CANCER (June 22 to July 23)

LEO (July 24 to Aug 23)

Avoid being a bossy Lion today, and strive to be assertive rather than aggressive. When dealing with a sensitive loved one, resist the urge to judge them and jump to hasty conclusion­s.

VIRGO (Aug 24 to Sept 23)

Don’t take on too much today. Energy is high but so are irritabili­ty levels. Do your best to steer clear of vexatious people and sensitive topics, as it will be difficult to conceal your true feelings.

LIBRA (Sept 24 to Oct 23)

If you’ve got an ongoing problem with a relative or neighbour, then avoid rushing in and messing up a sensitive situation. More patience is needed if you want to help rather than

SCORPIO (Oct 24 to Nov 22)

You have a strong desire to persuade others to do what you want them to do. But if you try to control or manipulate people, then you’ll have a long and exhausting day. So take a chill pill Scorpio!

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov 23 to Dec 22)

Dramas or disruption­s are likely today, unless you can be super adaptable and stay calm. A loved one or work colleague is feeling frustrated, so don’t take rash comments too personally.

CAPRICORN (Dec 23 to Jan 20)

If you are blunt and/or bossy, then you could find yourself in a fiery disagreeme­nt or messy misunderst­anding. Clear communicat­ion and strong leadership are the secrets to a satisfying day.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21 to Feb 19)

There may be some disruption­s and disagreeme­nts today Aquarius, as others step on your freedom-loving toes. You know what you want to do, but it may not be what others expect – or like.

PISCES (Feb 20 to Mar 20)

Lively communicat­ion is highlighte­d, as the sparks fly between you and a colleague or loved one. Don’t expect to agree on everything and don’t rush. Make sure you check all informatio­n thoroughly.

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 20)

Rams are fiery creatures and you’re in the mood for a feisty debate today. Instead, put your mental energy to good use as you study, do research or work out the solution to a stubborn puzzle or problem.

TAURUS (Apr 21 to May 20)

You usually think things through in a careful and thorough way. But someone may try to rush you to make a decision today. Take your time. If you hurry your response, then you may regret it later on.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 21)

Emotions and energy levels will fluctuate today so pace yourself. It will be easy to upset others, despite your good intentions. Resist the urge to retaliate. Instead, try to keep your composure.
