AQUARIUS 21 JAN - 19 FEB

Before you purchase anything consider your financial position. Plus, how do you know that an item or service is all it’s made out to be? It may be painted in a wonderful light which could be the truth or not.

PISCES

20 FEB - 20 MAR

Been busy networking for pleasure and business? If so, a lively focus on your sector of connection brings good news. If you enjoy meeting new people, you’ll be in your element, and the conversations you have could be game-changers too, Pisces.

ARIES

21 MAR - 20 APR

Mercury in ambitious Capricorn aligns with mystical Neptune, so you may be dreaming of something you can’t have. But you could use this aspect in a more productive way to bring to life an idea you’ve been mulling over.

TAURUS

21 APR - 21 MAY

The unknown and the mysterious cross paths today, as a subtle link brings you closer to finding out something that’s eluded you. Perhaps it’s an idea that you’ve been trying to understand or a concept you’re keen to grasp.

GEMINI

22 MAY - 21 JUN

Your psychological sector is in focus, so if you’re keen to tie up loose ends and erase elements of your life that no longer work, then you’re on track. From today though, a subtle aspect may inspire you to get real.

CANCER

22 JUN - 23 JUL

If your intuition tells you to check the time of an appointment or meeting, it’s a good idea to do it. With Mercury linking to hazy Neptune, affirming the details could save you from an embarrassing situation.

LEO

24 JUL - 23 AUG

If you needed a boost to help your career to flourish, then an ongoing emphasis on a prominent sector can do the trick. If you find yourself in the spotlight, be willing to strut your stuff and you’ll draw many admirers.

VIRGO

24 AUG - 23 SEP

Uncertain what to make of someone? You won’t know until you get chatting to them, Virgo. A subtle Mercury/Neptune alignment is an opportunity to bust those misleading ideas and find out the truth. You may find they’re not at all like you imagined.

LIBRA

24 SEP - 23 OCT

You may wish things were different Libra, but this isn’t enough to change them. If you want your life to be transformed, you’ll need to act. The current lineup suggests you might either do something on the spur of the moment or hope for the best.

SCORPIO

24 OCT - 22 NOV

You’ll have all sorts of imaginative and creative ideas, but doing something about them may be another matter. Don’t worry about getting too hands-on today, as this is an opportunity to try ideas out in your head before you make a move.

SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV - 21 DEC

You may have a lot of physical energy, but mentally you’ll be in a more reflective and flowing mood. This might not be the best time to tackle tasks that involve attention to detail, but it’s good for doing anything that requires a holistic and creative approach.

CAPRICORN 22 DEC - 20 JAN

Don’t believe everything, even if it’s from someone who claims to be an expert. Mercury’s alignment with slippery Neptune can coincide with mixed messages and misunderstandings, so whatever someone tells you check for yourself that it’s sound.
