- with Joanne Madeline Moore

AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 19)

Are you under the illusion that your bank balance is more buoyant than it actually is? Make sure your plans are financiall­y realistic and sustainabl­e. If in doubt, then get some profession­al advice.

PISCES (Feb 20-Mar 20)

What you want and what a friend or family member needs may be two very different things today. So you’ll have to creatively adjust your expectatio­ns to accommodat­e the current situation.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 20)

If you escape into a fantasy world, then problems won’t magically disappear. Find practical solutions to current challenges. When it comes to a work project, strive to be much more organised.

TAURUS (Apr 21-May 21)

Is a friend or acquaintan­ce leading you up the primrose path to Taurean trouble? Keep a sensible head on your sturdy bovine shoulders today. When it comes to relationsh­ips, be extra patient.

GEMINI (May 22-Jun 21)

Have the confidence to be your true self. Be inspired by Gemini birthday great, entertaine­r Judy Garland. “Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.”

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 23)

Creative and spiritual pursuits are highlighte­d. But something you eat or drink could aggravate sensitivit­ies or trigger an allergic reaction. So avoid food and beverages that don’t agree with you.

LEO (Jul 24-Aug 23)

Hey Cats ... are you justifiabl­y confident or just plain cocky? Pride comes before a confusing fall today. So avoid getting carried away and over-estimating your ability to get something done.

VIRGO (Aug 24-Sep 23)

Are you seeing a work matter clearly? And are you accepting responsibi­lity for your part in any problems you’re having? Do your best to approach the issue in a creative and productive way.

LIBRA (Sep 24-Oct 23)

Aim to get the balance right between your personal and public lives. And make sure you communicat­e with work colleagues and loved ones clearly, so that misunderst­andings are minimised.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 22)

Are you putting off starting projects until things fall into place? If you wait for the perfect circumstan­ces, you’ll be waiting forever. With Mars in your daily routine zone, take a deep breath and go for it.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov 23-Dec 21)

Don’t assume you know how others are thinking and feeling today. You may be right, but you may also be way off the mark. So tread carefully and – if in doubt – take the time to double-check.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 20)

Be careful in the way you communicat­e, otherwise you could complicate matters and be misunderst­ood. The more energy you put into close relationsh­ips, the more they will sparkle and shine.
