Your daily stars

PISCES 20 FEB - 20 MAR

Don’t do what everyone else is doing, as you likely have a more interesting idea of how to spend the day. You may be made to feel guilty for not going along with others’ plans though. Stick with your own idea and you’ll discover something interesting.

ARIES 21 MAR - 20 APR

While good things seem to be happening, there’s also a lot going on behind the scenes, Aries. Positive news could coincide with a confrontation and although such events can derail your plans, new opportunities may be added into the mix.

TAURUS 21 APR - 21 MAY

Sparks can fly as the Scorpio Moon links with two restless planets, so it’s very likely you won’t see eye-to-eye with everyone. Still, there may be a shred of diplomacy in the air as a more harmonious tie encourages you to find a compromise.

GEMINI 22 MAY - 21 JUN

The urge to keep going despite needing to rest could result in a fractious day when it’s better to simplify your schedule than go too far too fast. Whatever ideas you have in mind can succeed if you plan how you’ll go about them.

CANCER 22 JUN - 23 JUL

You may be in no mood to be tactful as the Moon, your guide planet, tips a wink to feisty Mars and maverick Uranus. You could surprise others with a desire for change. Positive aspects hint that your approach can lead to a fresh opportunity.

LEO 24 JUL - 23 AUG

Could this be the day you decide to clear the air, Leo? Intense lunar aspects suggest that you’ll speak your mind on the spur of the moment and create a few waves in the process. It could even turn into a long-standing feud.

VIRGO 24 AUG - 23 SEP

It’s possible you’ll receive some good news, so if your schedule becomes unglued you won’t be too upset. And it may well do, as revolutionary energies could cause people to cancel their plans. And yet because of this, something interesting might show up for you.

LIBRA 24 SEP - 23 OCT

A lively aspect encourages you to say what’s on your mind, even if it means admitting you’re annoyed by events. Even if it causes some upset, it’s time others knew too. It may be because of you that something finally gets done. And it will be better for all.

SCORPIO 24 OCT - 22 NOV

No matter how much you think you know about a certain person, they could do something totally unexpected. It may be nothing that affects you, and yet you might be shocked that you hadn’t seen this side of them before, Scorpio.

SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV - 21 DEC

It’s fine to be critical as long as your intention is to help others. But it’s not a good idea if you don’t like the way things have been done. With the Moon in Scorpio making some edgy aspects, it’s wise to bear this in mind before you say something that makes things worse, Archer.

CAPRICORN 22 DEC - 20 JAN

Someone might make you an offer, but you may wonder if there’s a catch. With some unstable on the go today, it’s best not to take anything at face value. It’s not that you can’t trust this person, but they could be caught out by unexpected events.

AQUARIUS 21 JAN - 19 FEB

The Sun’s positive tie with Jupiter is perfect for a get-together or other happy occasion. And yet with a Scorpio Moon making some awkward aspects, a sensitive topic of conversation could bring up unwanted feelings.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Dreams and intuition can play a big part in the way this year pans out for you. There are lucrative opportunities on the cards, and by trusting your instincts you could enhance your income.
