- With Joanne Madeline Moore

AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 19)

It’s a good day to nurture your profession­al contacts. With some nifty networking, your career prospects will improve. If you’re looking for a job, don’t expect instant results. Be patient.

PISCES (Feb 20-Mar 20)

Daily chores will seem a drag, as you long for more free time and less domestic responsibi­lities. Smart Pisceans will take care of business early, so there’s room for fun later on.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 20)

Aries put a lot of energy into pursuing profession­al success, but there are no excuses for neglecting family and friends. So why not pick up the phone or jump in the car and get in touch?

TAURUS (Apr 21-May 21)

When communicat­ing with family and friends, an intuitive approach works best today Taurus. What people say won’t necessaril­y be what they really mean so tread carefully.

GEMINI (May 22-Jun 21)

The Moon’s in Cancer and you have much to learn from this sensitive sign. Like – less chatter, and more listening. Being kind and compassion­ate is definitely the way to go today Twins.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 23)

With the Moon moving through Cancer you’re super sensitive and intuitive today. But be selective about who you mix with, as you’re liable to pick up some people’s negative moods like a sponge.

LEO (Jul 24-Aug 23)

The Moon’s in your dream zone, so reach for the stars as you set goals for the future. But – if you get too cocky – then a friend or colleague could bring you back down to earth with a thud.

VIRGO (Aug 24-Sep 23)

Your goals may seem unreachabl­e but don’t be too discourage­d. With plenty of planning – and persistenc­e – you can make your dreams come true. But you must be in it for the long haul.

LIBRA (Sep 24-Oct 23)

The race is on to deliver more at work or, for unemployed Librans, to find a job. Centre yourself: you don’t function well under pressure. Have the confidence to find your own individual pace.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 22)

Choose your words carefully today – especially when you’re conversing with the main women in your life. And avoid getting drawn into discussion­s about ‘the big two’ – money and politics.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov 23-Dec 21)

Money matters look serious, as you are hit with extra bills or rising costs. With Pluto and the Moon both moving through your $$$ zone, it’s time to take a strategic approach to finances.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 20)

Don’t let current difficulti­es restrict and define you Capricorn. Relationsh­ip undercurre­nts run deep today. So tread carefully with family, friends and work colleagues as you walk an emotional tightrope.
