Mercury (Hobart)

Star watch

-

CAPRICORN (Dec 23 to Jan 20) A relationsh­ip with a family member could be tested, as you discover what their real agenda is. Compromise is needed — on both sides — if you want to get things moving in a positive new direction.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21 to Feb 19) Things appear to be progressin­g very slowly, but there are plenty of positive projects developing behind the scenes. That means it’s time for astute Aquarians to be super patient and extra persistent.

PISCES (Feb 20 to Mar 20) It’s a good time to socialise with work colleagues. Keep the channels of communicat­ion open, even if you’re on holidays. However, avoid blowing your budget at the New Year sales.

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 20) Use your talent for self-promotion to shine in the spotlight and further your career ambitions next year. The saying “It’s not what you know but who you know” has never been truer, so start networking now.

TAURUS (Apr 21 to May 20) As you head into a brand new year, it’s time to be a bold and beautiful Bull. As German movie legend — and birthday great — Marlene Dietrich observed: “Courage and grace are a formidable mixture.”

GEMINI (May 21 to June 21) You are full of bright ideas, but the challenge is to follow through on commitment­s. If you make a promise, keep it. If you set a goal, work to achieve it. And most of all, finish what you start.

CANCER (June 22 to July 23) A close relationsh­ip is tricky at the moment, or there may be some tension between a profession­al and personal partnershi­p. The main thing that will help resolve problems is cool compromise.

LEO (July 24 to Aug 23) You may feel mentally or physically sluggish today. Perhaps you need to be more motivated with your exercise routine. Now’s the perfect time to establish healthy habits for the coming year.

VIRGO (Aug 24 to Sept 23) Tread carefully with family and friends today, Virgo. If you are too fussy, fastidious or critical, then they’ll respond by being even more confusing and flighty. Instead, take a chill pill and try to relax.

LIBRA (Sept 24 to Oct 23) You are keen to converse with others today. However, with Mercury moving slowly through your communicat­ion zone, take your time, especially when posting comments on social media.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 to Nov 22) Even if you’re on holiday, prepare for a busy and productive day where you’ll aim to get as much done as you possibly can. It’s also a suitable time to sort out a problem with a friend or family member.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov 23 to Dec 22) There may be some friction or confusion to do with money today. With Saturn now visiting your cash zone, it’s time to bite the bullet and finally fix up a frustratin­g financial problem.
