Mercury (Hobart)

Starwatch

- with Joanne Madeline Moore

AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 19)

There could be a fraction too much friction at home or work, as the planets stir up problems. A double dose of diplomacy will get you through the day – and night – OK Aquarius.

PISCES (Feb 20-Mar 20)

Are you being realistic? Having big beautiful dreams is great, but there comes a time when you have to put them into practice. You’re also prone to exaggerate, overspend or overextend.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 20)

Rams can be real hot-heads, and today’s stars could make you even more impulsive and impatient than usual. So pace yourself, as you’re likely to feel impetuous and somewhat foolhardy.

TAURUS (Apr 21-May 21)

Have you got the day planned and your responses rehearsed? Prepare for some disruptive surprises! Things certainly won’t run smoothly, so hold onto your seat and expect a rollicking ride.

GEMINI (May 22-Jun 21)

You’re keen to learn something new today but avoid jumping to half-baked conclusion­s. Especially involving financial matters. Instead, think things through before you make a major move.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 23)

You’ll feel emotionall­y unsettled and contrary today Crabs. And your moodiness could then adversely affect a close personal relationsh­ip. So prepare for a few annoying bumps along the way!

LEO (Jul 24-Aug 23)

The Sun and Jupiter are set to disrupt the rhythm of your day. Relations with a family member or friend are also likely to be topsyturvy. The more adaptable you are, the better the day will be.

VIRGO (Aug 24-Sep 23)

Friendship­s and group activities look somewhat unsettled today. Don’t accept other people’s version of events. Take the time to check things thoroughly before you make an important decision.

LIBRA (Sep 24-Oct 23)

Home or work look unsettled. A housemate or family member could upset you by making a surprising suggestion. Or a colleague, client or customer could hit you with something from left field.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 22)

Hasty words will land you in trouble today Scorpio. So think carefully before you say controvers­ial things that you later regret. You could find you’ve bitten off more than you can comfortabl­y chew.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov 23-Dec 21)

You’re in the mood to indulge yourself today as you overdo just about everything. Including talking, eating, socialisin­g and spending. If you’re driving, be careful not to get distracted and speed.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 20)

Today you’ll feel like discarding people, possession­s, behaviours or beliefs from the past that have outlived their purpose. But be careful you don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater!
