AQUARIUS 21 JAN - 19 FEB

You’ll have big ideas that you’ll be keen to put into action. You could promise more than you can deliver, so think carefully before you commit to something. It’s better to understate than to overstate what you can do for someone.

PISCES 20 FEB - 20 MAR

You’ll be keen to reflect on life, but to accomplish this you’ll need to avoid people who can’t stop talking. You’ll also be ready to think up solutions to key issues, and too much chatter might prevent you from tuning in and getting the answers you need.

ARIES 21 MAR - 20 APR

Feel anything is possible? A brighter outlook could be the reason you decide to start a project you’ve been dreaming about. If it underpins other plans and ideas that shape your future, you’ll be more inclined to stick with it.

TAURUS 21 APR - 21 MAY

How you handle an opportunity could lead to a great or not so helpful outcome. You may jump at a chance without thinking it through. You’ll see the broader picture, but details are also important. Perhaps its only attraction is its novelty value.

GEMINI 22 MAY - 21 JUN

It’s time to jettison the tried and trusted and try new ways of getting what you want. Be open to your intuition, too, as it might lead you to information or a person who can assist you. Something good is on the horizon.

CANCER 22 JUN - 23 JUL

The energies of Mercury and expansive Jupiter can chase away shadows and encourage you to go for what you want. However, look further into your plans rather than being too gung-ho, as you might find a loophole that you could take advantage of.

LEO 24 JUL - 23 AUG

What do you want to do to enhance your reputation or career? And what is stopping you from doing it? Think carefully about the answers. Being specific might help you make better plans. Don’t leave it to chance, Leo.

VIRGO 24 AUG - 23 SEP

Stand up for your beliefs and don’t feel you need to change them because others disapprove. A lot of people don’t think like you, but you’re entitled to embrace whatever helps you and expands your perception of what’s possible.

LIBRA 24 SEP - 23 OCT

Some things happen by chance, and today could be one of those days. You might receive a gift, offer or opportunity that you didn’t expect that brings something positive to the coming days. The only issue is not making the most of it.

SCORPIO 24 OCT - 22 NOV

You’re self-sufficient, but you could overestimate your abilities. Think about getting some help so you’ll be less likely to make a mess of it. Your ideas can be sound, but you may lack the skills to do a good job, Scorpio.

SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV - 21 DEC

There could be some interesting conversations on the boil, and you’ll warm to them because they set you thinking about fresh possibilities. The idea of trying out something new that is a challenge is enough to make you want to commit. And you’ll enjoy the learning curve.

CAPRICORN 22 DEC - 20 JAN

Today’s upbeat outlook encourages you to put friends and family first and any worries out of your mind. Keep an eye on the cost. By making sure that everyone enjoys themselves you could spend more than you mean to.
