- With Joanne Madeline Moore

AQUARIUS

(Jan 21-Feb 19)

With three planets in your sign, you’re feeling energised but strive to be positive rather than disruptive. Use your mental abilities and communicat­ion skills to inspire others and get things going.

PISCES

(Feb 20-Mar 20)

Don’t be a procrastin­ating Piscean! The proactive Aries Moon gives you the confidence to bite the bullet and make a spontaneou­s decision, especially involving financial matters.

ARIES

(Mar 21-Apr 20)

You’re keen to say what’s on your mind, as the Moon moves through speedy Aries. Plus your ability to motivate others is at an all-time high. But don’t put your foot in your mouth by being too blunt!

TAURUS

(Apr 21-May 21)

On the surface it may appear that you lack self-belief, but you have a quiet inner confidence and tenacity that eventually shine through. Today your intuition will point you in the right direction.

GEMINI

(May 22-Jun 21) Gregarious Geminis are in the mood for group activities. Under the influence of the Aries Moon, the more you combine your creative talents with others, the more successful you’ll be.

CANCER

(Jun 22-Jul 23)

Cranky Crabs – you may feel emotionall­y vulnerable but don’t make things worse by being moody and playing power games. If you are defensive, then it will just attract the opposition of others.

LEO (Jul 24-Aug 23)

Energy and enthusiasm are high as the Moon moves through fellow fire sign Aries. You’re mentally alert and able to make decisions quickly. But strive to be more sensitive towards the feelings of others.

VIRGO

(Aug 24-Sep 23)

It’s time to tackle mental tasks with extra energy. You’ll power through planning, study or research work. But – when it comes to financial matters – avoid taking short-cuts. The devil is in the detail.

LIBRA (Sep 24-Oct 23)

All types of partnershi­ps – romantic, platonic and business – are highlighte­d today. Communicat­ion flows easily but avoid jumping to conclusion­s. Take the time to check the facts first.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 22)

The fiery Aries Moon boosts your Scorpio magnetism today. You’re in the mood to focus on work and wellbeing but don’t scare other people away by being too fussy and overly intense!

SAGITTARIU­S

(Nov 23-Dec 21) Slow down Sagittariu­s! You’re in the mood to get things done but remember that other people are involved in your plans. If you don’t consult with them first, you’ll just end up wasting time.

CAPRICORN

(Dec 22-Jan 20)

If you’re having problems with a family member, then it may be time to sit down and talk things through. When it comes to a work colleague, praise will get you a lot further than criticism.
