Your daily stars

PISCES 20 FEB - 20 MAR

Don’t push yourself too hard. The Sun’s tie with Saturn in your sign could mean vitality dips and you might not feel like rushing around. If you can simplify your schedule then do it, as it will make things easier for a day or two.

ARIES 21 MAR - 20 APR

Links with prudent Saturn in a spiritual zone can find you zeroing in on issues that have been a cause of angst. Could it be time to get help from a counsellor or mentor to sort them out? You may find talking things over is awkward, but a relief.

TAURUS 21 APR - 21 MAY

The Sun/Saturn merger could find you in an awkward situation that you’re powerless to influence. This is a temporary tie though, so try not to take it too seriously. You may feel a pinch today, but gradually this issue will ease and melt away.

GEMINI 22 MAY - 21 JUN

Your goals are achievable, if you’re willing to do something. You may wonder if you should be proactive or whether your idea is best put on the back burner. You can have it if you want it, but it might take a lot of planning and persistence.

CANCER 22 JUN - 23 JUL

Fretting over a temporary delay? It may seem that things couldn’t get any worse, especially if there’s no movement anywhere. And yet if you’re serious about enjoying the day ahead, accept the challenge and relish being the one to resolve it.

LEO 24 JUL - 23 AUG

You might realise just how much something is blocking you from moving forward. Whether it’s an emotional issue or a mental pattern, this alignment could bring it to the fore so you can see clearly what you’re dealing with.

VIRGO 24 AUG - 23 SEP

Someone ignoring you? Take heart, as this won’t last. You may feel hurt by their attitude, but it could be down to a misunderstanding. You’ll have a much better day if you invest your energy into something that leaves you feeling good.

LIBRA 24 SEP - 23 OCT

Much as you thrive on things going to plan, this is a time when they may not. The clunky Sun/Mercury/ Saturn tie suggests there might be a spanner in the works that prevents you from making progress. It could be easier to focus though.

SCORPIO 24 OCT - 22 NOV

Creative activities can be therapeutic if you’ve had a lot to deal with recently. You might find that pouring your heart into art, crafts, music or sport seems to shift emotional blocks. The more you indulge this, the happier you’ll be.

SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV - 21 DEC

Your confidence could do with a boost, especially if you’re entertaining or have other events on and don’t feel prepared. Both Mercury and the Sun link with Saturn, making it hard to be yourself. It may be because you want to impress someone and don’t think you will.

CAPRICORN 22 DEC - 20 JAN

A tie between Mercury and Saturn suggests pressure to make a decision. You could so easily overthink this rather than trusting your instincts. Further research could give you too many options and tie your mind in knots.

AQUARIUS

21 JAN - 19 FEB

The coming days and weeks can see you taking stock of what you own and making decisions about to what to do with unwanted items. If you can sell some things for a good price, you could make quite a bit of money.
