Your daily stars

Patrick Arundell has been a professional, self-taught astrologer for over 25 years. His interest began when he was at high school and over time, became a burning quest to understand what made him and others tick.

PISCES 20 FEB - 20 MAR

You could come across as outrageous without even knowing it. And yet those you interact with need genuine understanding. Still, your words of wisdom may not come out as intended and might be a tad shocking to some due to the no-nonsense Moon/Pluto tie.

ARIES 21 MAR - 20 APR

If you’re lacking motivation regarding a project, then consider teaming up with a friend as their high energy may be contagious. On a similar note, as Mars continues in your social sector, someone who seems a positive force and very entertaining can inspire you.

TAURUS 21 APR - 21 MAY

There’s no point in trying to hold back the tide of events or resist change, whereas embracing fresh ideas could seem audacious and very freeing. The Moon in flexible Gemini can help you see the value of being open to other options.

GEMINI 22 MAY - 21 JUN

Eager to discuss a controversial idea? Reach out to someone and make the decision to share your feelings as it could change things for the better. The more proactive you are, the more goodwill you might generate, encouraging support for your plans.

CANCER 22 JUN - 23 JUL

Dreaming about what might happen if you get together with someone? You’ll have a better idea if you can look at matters realistically. If you’re eager to hurry things along, then try slowing the pace. Forcing anything never works.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: LEO 24 JUL - 23 AUG

Whatever issues have occurred recently, today brings a chance to set them right by taking the initiative and proving that you can handle anything. That is if you have the help of your friends. Don’t be too proud to ask for advice or assistance.

VIRGO 24 AUG - 23 SEP

You could go from strength to strength if you focus on what you do best. If you can’t get what you want by using power, then you’ll have to use more subtle ways to attract the right people and conditions. Venus in Pisces hints that this might involve being tactful and diplomatic.

LIBRA 24 SEP - 23 OCT

It’s time to leave your inhibitions behind and focus on being more controversial. A lunar tie with Pluto in cutting-edge Aquarius suggests you’ll enjoy doing this. And it won’t cause you any trouble either, as others may wish they could be so free.

SCORPIO 24 OCT - 22 NOV

With the Moon forging a harmonious angle to Pluto, you could feel some frustration regarding a project. This may be down to recent changes and some restructuring, but also to other people’s lack of faith that it can work.

SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV - 21 DEC

It’s a rewarding yet busy day, in which social media and new encounters may play a part. You might be ready for something different, and to this end a message or call could forge a nice connection. Wondering about a relationship? If something from the past is casting a shadow on this bond, it’s wise to resolve it.

CAPRICORN 22 DEC - 20 JAN

If you get a strong intuitive urge to go somewhere or do something then don’t dismiss it, as it could lead to a golden opportunity. The Moon’s positive alignment with Pluto suggests that such promptings can inspire uplifting developments.

AQUARIUS 21 JAN - 19 FEB

A gathering can be a high point and may coincide with an encounter that proves as fascinating as it is fun. You might be moved by the experiences this person shares or perhaps feel a bond with them that you can’t deny.

You’ll realise the necessity of planning ahead, and this is a good thing. Preparation can save you much angst. Yet some things could occur out of the blue and out of your control. If they do, go with the flow.
