PISCES 20 FEB - 20 MAR
With a powerful emphasis on your sign and with Neptune deeply involved, you may not be at your most discriminating. You might get caught up with someone who is unscrupulous. Before you agree to anything, get to know them.
ARIES 21 MAR - 20 APR
You might feel frustrated if your efforts seem mired in confusion. This isn’t the time to initiate anything involving detail or money, as the potential for slip-ups is high. With your imagination peaking, you could channel creative skills into something outstanding.
TAURUS 21 APR - 21 MAY
You may see the best in people, even if their intentions are not as positive as you think. It’s best to wait a few days before you start making plans either for romance or business. You could learn a lot and save yourself some trouble, Taurus.
GEMINI 22 MAY - 21 JUN
With an emphasis on a high-flying zone, you’ll enjoy being in the spotlight. But due to Neptune’s impact, be careful how you present yourself to others. It will be easy for people to misunderstand your intentions. Be sure you’re hitting the right note.
CANCER 22 JUN - 23 JUL
Finding it hard to decide what you believe? If you’re fantasizing about a bold plan, give yourself a few days grace Cancer, and then look at it again. You may end up being glad you didn’t take the plunge after all.
LEO 24 JUL - 23 AUG
You may not feel like socialising today or over coming days. A need for privacy and a chance to reflect could take over. If you need to think things through, this is the time. The most important part is resting, so just go with the flow for now.
VIRGO 24 AUG - 23 SEP
The idea of being offered a wonderful opportunity, closing a deal or getting started on a big project might seem great in theory. In practice, confusion could mar your efforts and things that should be straightforward may not be. If you wait a few days then you’ll see progress.
LIBRA 24 SEP - 23 OCT
Temptation can show up today, so be kind to yourself. As the Sun aligns with Neptune, the things you should steer clear of will seem to draw you in and promise you delights. If you’re on a diet or practising any form of discipline, it could all go south. Don’t linger there.
SCORPIO 24 OCT - 22 NOV
You’ll easily drop your defences so if you’re at a gathering you may cross your own red line more than once. If you can keep on the ball rather than surrendering to the mood, you’ll have less chance of saying the unthinkable.
SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV - 21 DEC
You might prefer to keep to yourself or do something that takes you away from the reality of life. Energy levels may dip too, so you’ll prefer walking in beautiful surroundings to anything too vigorous. Your appreciation of the finer things in life can be heightened. Spiritual books or movies will inspire.
CAPRICORN 22 DEC - 20 JAN
You’ll be in a sensitive mood and aware of other people’s feelings. Over the coming days, you might hear a few sorry tales. Avoid getting involved in schemes unless you’ve researched them first. Even then, wait before you buy or sign.
AQUARIUS 21 JAN - 19 FEB
Even if you’ve made a vow to be very careful with your money, the coming days may find you bedazzled by an item you want. It might even be a few things that you’re happy to splurge on. By the end of the weekend, you could regret it.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY: This is the year of the brainwave, as a brilliant idea could alter your destiny. Expect happy coincidences as well as events that may seem disruptive but could hold the key to an exciting new future.
