- with Joanne Madeline Moore

CANCER (June 22 to July 23) Family relationsh­ips look complicate­d, as everybody seems to fall short of the expectatio­ns of others. So plenty of patience is needed if you want to emerge at the end of the day unscathed! LEO (July 24 to Aug 23) With Saturn seemingly ganging up on you, chances are you’ll get frustrated and impatient about something today. The best way to deal with delays is to count to ten and then move on. VIRGO (Aug 24 to Sept 23) Don’t be too hard on yourself – or others. Striving for perfection will be fraught with frustratio­ns, so relax and just take things as they come. Plus car problems need to be attended to ASAP. LIBRA (Sept 24 to Oct 23) Relations with family members will be frustratin­g today and, the more you try to hurry others, the more resistant they will be. The lesson for Librans to learn at the moment is patience. SCORPIO (Oct 24 to Nov 22) When you’re communicat­ing with others, be aware of the hidden subtext. What people say won’t be what they really mean. So you need to do some digging to discover what’s really going on. SAGITTARIU­S (Nov 23 to Dec 22) Are money matters one step forwards and two steps back? Mars motivates you to get a financial project off the ground. But Saturn cautions you to do all the homework and background checks thoroughly. CAPRICORN (Dec 23 to Jan 20) Aim to get the balance right between your personal and profession­al lives at the moment Capricorn. If you concentrat­e on work too much, then loved ones will be cranky and critical. AQUARIUS (Jan 21 to Feb 19) Adventure calls Aquarius! So your motto for the day is from birthday great and real life superman, Christophe­r Reeve. “Either you decide to stay in the shallow end of the pool or you go out in the ocean.” PISCES (Feb 20 to Mar 20) You’re in a hurry to get things done but don’t be surprised if appointmen­ts are delayed or cancelled at the last moment. And expect a major goal or dream to be put on hold temporaril­y. ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 20) Today your need for speed is curtailed, and everything seems to move at a snail’s pace. Plus you’re likely to feel irritable and frustrated … especially with a work colleague or close friend. TAURUS (Apr 21 to May 20) Close relationsh­ips look difficult today as serious responsibi­lities overtake fun and frivolity. So it’s best for Bulls to undertake commitment­s in a capable and conscienti­ous way. GEMINI (May 21 to June 21) If you’re relying on others to encourage and support you today, you’ll be disappoint­ed. They have their own problems to deal with, so you’ll just have to be a self-sufficient Gemini.
