- With Joanne Madeline Moore

AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 19)

Do your best to assist a troubled loved one today Aquarius. Perhaps you can lend them money, help with domestic chores, listen to their problems or just be extra kind and compassion­ate?

PISCES (Feb 20-Mar 20)

The Sun and Neptune help you power through the day with extra compassion and a creative plan. You’ll find the combinatio­n of physical endurance and emotional energy is a winning double.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 20)

If you’ve got a problem that needs solving, then tune into your Aries intuition to get the answers you’re searching for. And be extra diplomatic when asking for assistance from others.

TAURUS (Apr 21-May 21)

An educationa­l matter or a creative group activity looks promising today as your imaginatio­n takes flight. Helping other people will also take up much of your time and energy today Taurus.

GEMINI (May 22-Jun 21)

It’s time to expand your profession­al world via nurturing creative projects and friendship­s at work. If you link up with like-minded people, it will open up new doors of opportunit­y for everyone.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 23)

Avoid accepting things at face value. Instead, look at issues in a deeper and much more reflective way. Neptune also encourages you to be much more compassion­ate towards a loved one.

LEO (Jul 24-Aug 23)

Resist the temptation to bend the truth. Your motto for the moment is from birthday great Elvis Presley “Truth is like the Sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain’t goin’ away.”

VIRGO (Aug 24-Sep 23)

Include a loved one in your dreams for the future. In the words of John Lennon – who had Venus and Neptune in Virgo – “A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.”

LIBRA (Sep 24-Oct 23)

You’ll quickly become bored with your usual routine. So plan something special for today Libra. And strive to be extra sensitive and compassion­ate towards a loved one who’s feeling stressed.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 22)

Scorpios are good at dealing with people in subtle ways. Today, intuition and some sensitive questionin­g will help you get to the bottom of a tricky situation with a family member or close friend.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov 23-Dec 21)

When dealing with relatives and work colleagues, being kind of heart – and offering sensitive advice – is a winning double at the moment. But don’t overcompli­cate things. Keep it simple.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 20)

Relations with a friend, relative or neighbour will be pleasant and productive, as long as you resist the urge to criticise. Plus find creative ways you can be of service within your local community.
