AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 19)

Neptune and retro Venus are confusing an issue – especially involving romance, friendship or finances. You’re not seeing things clearly, so postpone making decisions until you have a sharper perspectiv­e.

PISCES (Feb 20-Mar 20)

Are you viewing a close relationsh­ip through ridiculous­ly rose-coloured glasses? The higher you place people on a pedestal, the further they have to fall. Learn to see the real person, faults and all.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 20)

When it comes to a relationsh­ip, you want to charge full steam ahead whereas they are much more cautious. So you are going to have to be patient, which isn’t one of your natural strengths!

TAURUS (Apr 21-May 21)

Experiment­al Uranus is transiting through your sign Taurus. So your motto for the moment is from birthday great Cher. “All of us invent ourselves. Some of us just have more imaginatio­n than others.”

GEMINI (May 22-Jun 21)

Aim to get the balance right between your personal and profession­al lives. If you are too critical of loved ones or work colleagues, then you’ll just cause a plethora of unnecessar­y problems.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 23)

In matters involving love, work or your future aspiration­s, Neptune and retrograde Venus could confuse your perception­s. So don’t make any important decisions until you are thinking much more clearly.

LEO (Jul 24-Aug 23)

Don’t assume you know how others are thinking and feeling. You are probably way off the mark. If you do make assumption­s, then you’ll just complicate and confuse matters even more.

VIRGO (Aug 24-Sep 23)

Avoid negative self-talk Virgo! Be inspired by birthday great, entertaine­r Cher. “If you’re waiting for someone to believe in you, you’ll be waiting forever. You must believe in yourself.”

LIBRA (Sep 24-Oct 23)

Retrograde Venus is already stirring up relationsh­ip or financial problems. And now Neptune is making things seem even more unclear. So you’ll need plenty of time to gain a wiser and wider perspectiv­e.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 22)

The current stars highlight personal transforma­tion so heed the wise words of birthday great Cher. “The only thing in the world you can change is yourself and that makes all the difference.”

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov 23-Dec 21)

With nebulous Neptune and retrograde Venus affecting your family zone, expect some confusion involving close relationsh­ips today. So take time out to talk about problems with a trusted friend.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 20)

Powering ahead with a project or a relationsh­ip seems like a good plan but it will just cause problems in the weeks ahead. With so many planets retrograde, slow and steady wins the race at the moment.
