Your Stars

- with Patrick Arundell

Aries March 21 – April 20

With the Sun moving into Taurus, this steadying sign can help you to pace yourself. You may be more inclined to take the thoughtful route, and even if change is on your mind you might be inclined to take it a step at a time. Luscious Venus in your sign ties with Mercury retro, so you could be bold regarding matters of the heart and yet reluctant to be open about your feelings.

Gemini May 22 – June 21

The focus shifts to a secluded sector, making the coming weeks ideal for reflection and for eliminatin­g emotional baggage. If you find yourself in a more soulful mood, it may be because cosmic forces are bringing feelings to the surface where they can be more easily dealt with and released. Your social life benefits too, as friendly Venus brings fresh encounters your way.

Leo July 24 – August 23

Ready for the limelight, Leo? Over the coming four weeks the Sun your guide planet moves into your career zone. Although you’re not generally known as someone who holds back from showcasing their skills, the weeks ahead can be excellent for doing so, and for being proud of all you’ve accomplish­ed. Fresh opportunit­ies could show up and take you out of your comfort zone.

Libra September 24 – October 23

A more intense focus is emphasized from today, so you’ll be willing to look at issues that touch on more intimate and personal matters.

Plus, with lovely Venus in Aries linking with Mercury, this could be an opportunit­y to smooth over any difficulti­es and pave the way for happier times ahead, Libra.

Sagittariu­s November 23 – December 21

You’re now entering a practical phase, and the coming weeks may be a good time to take a closer look at routines and make any changes where necessary. This might mean altering your schedule or jettisonin­g activities that are no longer relevant. With the planet of harmony at work in your leisure zone, outings with friends and loved ones can be a lively adventure, Archer.

Aquarius January 21 – February 19

The coming weeks can be an opportunit­y to take a step back and get a fresh perspectiv­e on various aspects of your life. It’s also a chance to indulge in some self-care and nurturing. With the Sun now moving into your home zone, the cosmos encourages you to eat nourishing meals and catch up on your sleep where possible. Want to feel more alive? Take good care of yourself!

Taurus April 21 – May 21

You’ll be in your element from today as the Sun moves into your sign for a four-week stay.

This may also be a powerful confirmati­on of those qualities that make you who you are Taurus, bringing to the fore your natural qualities and ability to create growth.

Cancer June 22 – July 23

Your social life looks to have greater buoyancy from today as the Sun moves into this sector, adding a touch of sparkle to outings and events.

Networking could boost career hopes too, Cancer.

Capricorn December 22 – January 20

Leisure activities may be more to the fore as the Sun moves into Taurus for a four-week stay. This dynamic sector is also linked with self-expression and can be the perfect time to let others know about any hidden talents. If you have a skill you’ve been perfecting, putting your work on display in shops or craft markets will let others know how brilliant and gifted you are, Capricorn.

Pisces February 20 – March 20

As your communicat­ion zone is emphasized, opportunit­ies for networking and socializin­g may be more plentiful. This can be the ideal time to reach out to others and make valuable new connection­s.
