CANCER (June 22 to July 23)

Place your own issues on the backburner today Crabs. Putting others first works wonders, as you tune into the needs of family and friends. But expect some fiery words along the way.

LEO (July 24 to Aug 23)

A colleague or relative will try to push your emotional buttons but avoid retaliatin­g with rash words or hurtful comments. You can’t control what others say but you can control your reaction!

VIRGO (Aug 24 to Sept 23)

A relationsh­ip with a relative or neighbour could flare up, as responsibi­lities overtake having fun. If you keep the lines of communicat­ion open, then the storm in a tea cup will soon blow over.

LIBRA (Sept 24 to Oct 23)

Avoid getting drawn into arguments or misunderst­andings over money today. Plus postpone creative projects for another time, as it will be difficult to connect with your artistic inner muse.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 to Nov 22)

Expect a hectic day where you’re running around all over the place. But are you actually achieving anything? If you pace yourself – and prioritise – then you’ll accomplish a lot more.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov 23 to Dec 22)

Pencil in some time in your busy schedule to be on your own, for some reflective R & R. If you run around on auto-pilot, then you’re more likely to make thoughtles­s mistakes and careless slip-ups.

CAPRICORN (Dec 23 to Jan 20)

Finding fault with others won’t win you any friends or favours today. Children and friends are feeling particular­ly touchy. So avoid offering criticism – no matter how ‘constructi­ve’ it is.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21 to Feb 19)

Your Aquarian people skills are definitely required today, as loved ones indulge in family feuds or close friends get caught up in silly squabbles. Some deft diplomacy will see you through!

PISCES (Feb 20 to Mar 20)

There’s impulsive and erratic energy about, as the planets stir up your emotions. If you don’t slow down then you could blurt out something that you later regret, so pace yourself Pisces.

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 20)

Sharp words or sudden actions could land you in a heap of hot water today, especially involving personal or joint finances. So cool down and calm down, before you blow a fiery fuse!

TAURUS (Apr 21 to May 20)

You think you know how a loved one is feeling but jumping to conclusion­s – without checking the facts first – is a recipe for trouble today Taurus. Take the time to really talk things through.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 21)

Twins are in the mood to be rash! Making a snappy decision seems like a good idea but it could land you in trouble. Impulsive actions could also lead to an argument or accident so pace yourself.
