Starwatch

- with Joanne Madeline Moore

AQUARIUS (Jan 21 to Feb 19)

Education and travel are favoured, as you soak up new ideas like a sponge. You’re in the mood for speed, which makes you more accident-prone than usual. So slow down before you come a cropper!

PISCES (Feb 20 to Mar 20)

Don’t make any important financial commitment­s today, as you’re likely to change your mind later on. Your finances are in a state of flux so make sure you are flexible and sensible with your budget.

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 20)

Today there’s a tendency to rush around and make impetuous decisions that could backfire on you later. So strive to be dynamic and spontaneou­s - rather than reckless and accident-prone.

TAURUS (Apr 21 to May 20)

Avoid getting stuck in a rut and repeating negative patterns of behaviour. Today’s stars encourage you to use your imaginatio­n to come up with a novel solution to a stubborn old problem.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 21)

You may have to jump in and make a snap decision today, so have your wits about you. Your involvemen­t with a group, club or organisati­on looks unpredicta­ble though, as the goal posts keep shifting.

CANCER (June 22 to July 23)

Crabs usually set themselves safe and sensible goals. Today’s stars encourage you to venture beyond your comfort zone as you stretch yourself in new directions, both personally and profession­ally.

LEO (July 24 to Aug 23)

If you feel stuck in a rut then jump out of your usual daily routine. Do something wildly adventurou­s that gets your adrenalin going. Then you’ll feel reactivate­d, re-energised and renewed.

VIRGO (Aug 24 to Sept 23)

Impulsive money moves today – especially involving joint finances - could leave you with long regrets tomorrow. So leave making important financial decisions for a more settled and sensible time.

LIBRA (Sept 24 to Oct 23)

Is your love life stuck on auto-pilot? Today, Uranus encourages you to blast away the cobwebs and look at things from a fresh angle. Singles – you could fall for someone who’s not your usual type.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 to Nov 22)

If you are prepared to put up with unexpected disruption­s and last minute changes, then you can get a lot done today Scorpio. And have lots of fun. Exercising in the great outdoors is a must!

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov 23 to Dec 22)

When it comes to a friend or relative, give them the space to express themselves. You’re keen to communicat­e your feelings, but make sure your fiery enthusiasm doesn’t overwhelm others.

CAPRICORN (Dec 23 to Jan 20)

Avoid the temptation to repeat old patterns of behaviour. If you shake up your domestic routine - with an impromptu meal out or a spontaneou­s adventure - then it will put a spring in your step.
