AQUARIUS

(Jan 21-Feb 19)

Have the courage to follow your intuition – it will lead you in the right direction. But don’t be slapdash and take short-cuts. If someone tells you something in confidence, can you keep a secret?

PISCES

(Feb 20-Mar 20)

Avoid getting lost in a sea of Piscean confusion. Your motto for the day is from birthday great, actress Naomi Watts. “One of the greatest things in life is knowing what you want.”

ARIES

(Mar 21-Apr 20)

Venus makes a lovely link with your ruler Mars so you’ll feel extra creative and/or social. But Mars is retrograde until November 14, so take your time and temper your impatience.

TAURUS

(Apr 21-May 21)

Your greatest asset is your Taurean tenacity, so use it to your advantage. As poet and biographer Samuel Johnson wrote: “Great works are performed, not by strength, but by perseveran­ce.”

GEMINI

(May 22-Jun 21)

Sociable Geminis love chatting about creative ideas with family, friends and colleagues. However – with Mars moving backwards until November 14 – you may have trouble putting plans into action.

CANCER

(Jun 22-Jul 23)

It’s a good day to communicat­e with others in creative ways, as long as you take the time to understand where they are coming from. Love and work are linked but you’ll have to be patient.

(Aug 24-Sep 23)

Work and business are on your mind at the moment Virgo. However, when it comes to financial agreements, make sure you review things carefully and read the fine print thoroughly.

LIBRA

(Sep 24-Oct 23)

Don’t despair if a relationsh­ip is coming to an end. It has run its natural course and now is the time to move on. Focus on the future, as you act on your hunches and follow your dreams.

SCORPIO

(Oct 24-Nov 22)

Mercury is moving through Scorpio, which boosts your stubborn side. So avoid getting stuck in a comfortabl­e rut. When it comes to relationsh­ips, it’s time to ring in some positive changes.

SAGITTARIU­S

(Nov 23-Dec 21)

It’s a good time to join forces with friends or colleagues to find a solution to a persistent problem. Plus make sure you get outside and do something physical that gets your blood pumping.

CAPRICORN

(Dec 22-Jan 20)

Your hunch about a family member or a close friend may be way off the mark. When it comes to your domestic life, retrograde Mars urges you to reduce, recycle, re-purpose and reuse.
