Your daily stars

CANCER

22 JUN - 23 JUL

Expect some tension between work demands and family responsibilities. And don’t assume others know what you want. You’ll have to be assertive and tell them what’s really on your mind.

LEO

24 JUL - 23 AUG

The Mars/Pluto square makes you more determined than usual. But there is a fine line between being persistent and just plain pushy. Cool compromise is the key to a less stressful weekend.

VIRGO

24 AUG - 23 SEP

It’s a good weekend to turn your talents to practical pursuits like cooking, crafting, decorating, gardening or DIY projects. But there’s more to a family matter than meets the eye.

LIBRA

24 SEP - 23 OCT

You’re in the mood to nurture others with plenty of practical help and extra support. But tread gingerly with a frustrated loved one who is stressed and may think you are interfering.

SCORPIO

24 OCT - 22 NOV

The Mars/Pluto square activates your temperamental side, as you get stirred up over things you can’t control. The more you try to manipulate others, the more difficult the weekend will be.

SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV - 21 DEC

You’ll feel like getting things off your chest via a serious talk with a family member. But relationships and finances are a complicated mix at the moment, so strive to keep the two separate.

CAPRICORN 22 DEC - 20 JAN

Is a fractious family member disturbing your domestic peace? It’s time to cool down Capricorn. Calm communication will get you a lot further than power games and fiery flare-ups!

AQUARIUS

21 JAN - 19 FEB

Your motto for the moment is from Aquarian actor Alan Alda. “At times you have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you’ll discover is yourself.”

PISCES

20 FEB - 20 MAR

You’re going at a faster pace than others can keep up with. The planets urge you to slow down and be more thorough. A cherished dream could also be frustrated or delayed in some way.

ARIES

21 MAR - 20 APR

You’re pushing for results but, if you try to steamroll others into submission, then you’ll just meet with resistance and plenty of problems. So strive to be much more consultative and inclusive.

TAURUS

21 APR - 21 MAY

Getting up close and personal with loved ones brings benefits, as you’re determined to speak your mind. Some people are keen to hear what you have to say but others won’t appreciate your views.

GEMINI

22 MAY - 21 JUN

Mars and Pluto can stimulate assertive and argumentative behaviour in other people, which may be directed towards you. Perhaps it’s time to show others that Twins can stand up for themselves?

YOUR DAY: Mars and Pluto clash so try to keep your cool. HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Others are drawn to your exciting personality but avoid the tendency to repress your feelings. 2022 is the year to forgive and forget.
