AQUARIUS 21 JAN - 19 FEB
Loyalty to home and family could clash with a desire to unwind and focus on your needs. There are times when no matter how much you adore those you’re closest to, you do need a break. Go do your own thing and recharge.
PISCES 20 FEB - 20 MAR
You could be in an inventive frame of mind and able to come up with solutions that others haven’t considered. If you’ve been dealing with an intractable problem, the answer may instantly download into your mind like lightning and can seem obvious.
ARIES 21 MAR - 20 APR
Mercury’s tie with electric Uranus can make getting things done more difficult. Any plans could be disrupted by unexpected events or by people making decisions on the spur of the moment and not telling you about them.
TAURUS 21 APR - 21 MAY
You may feel rebellious and might not take kindly to any suggestions from those in authority. You won’t want to compromise either, which isn’t going to help. Yet if you don’t co-operate, you could find yourself in a worse mess.
GEMINI 22 MAY - 21 JUN
An inquisitive Mercury/Uranus link means you’ll be hoovering up information and data at a rate of knots and loving the chance to be distracted. If you adore social media, you could spend a long time here and end up getting very little done.
CANCER 22 JUN - 23 JUL
Feelings you didn’t know you had could come to the surface under the influence of an edgy and frustrating link. If you find yourself getting irritated by someone, know that this is just a passing phase. If you don’t dwell on them, they will eventually leave.
LEO 24 JUL - 23 AUG
Inquisitive Mercury forges a tricky tie with disruptive Uranus in your sector of responsibility. Although you may have tasks prioritised, getting on with them might not be easy. Boredom with routine can mean you’re keen to connect with friends.
VIRGO 24 AUG - 23 SEP
Knuckling down to anything may be hard work when your mind is telling you that there are so many other more interesting things. This is one of those times to expect the unexpected as it can come via new information, an encounter or an event you hadn’t anticipated.
LIBRA 24 SEP - 23 OCT
You’ll be looking for something new and different that gives you a boost, but it might not show up in a way you expected. Be prepared for an experience that takes you down a new path. You’ll make a new discovery. Whatever it is can light up your day.
SCORPIO 24 OCT - 22 NOV
If a gadget or other vital machinery goes wrong, it might put you in a spin, Scorpio. What can you do about it? Think out of the box and see what comes up for you. You’ll soon be up and away in no time at all.
SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV - 21 DEC
Feel as though your brain is overheating? This may be down to Mercury’s angle with Uranus, which is causing thoughts to flash through your mind faster. Moving your body will act as an antidote to too much thinking and help you navigate through the day.
CAPRICORN 22 DEC - 20 JAN
You might want one thing and someone else may want another, so reaching an agreement can be difficult. As annoying as it seems it is temporary, so simplifying your schedule and leaving any important business for another day will make life so much easier.
