AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 19)

Are you unintentio­nally sabotaging your dreams for the future? Your motto for the moment is from fellow Aquarian, Oprah Winfrey. “Whatever your goal, you can get there if you are willing to work.”

PISCES (Feb 20-Mar 20)

You’re going at a faster pace than others can keep up with. The planets urge you to slow down and be more thorough. A cherished dream could also be frustrated or delayed in some way.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 20)

You’re pushing for results but, if you try to steamroll others into submission, then you’ll just meet with resistance and plenty of problems. So strive to be much more consultati­ve and inclusive.

TAURUS (Apr 21-May 21)

Getting up close and personal with loved ones brings benefits, as you’re determined to speak your mind. Some people are keen to hear what you have to say but others won’t appreciate your views.

GEMINI (May 22-Jun 21)

With Venus and Jupiter in your relationsh­ip zone, you’re keen to offer others help and extra support. But tread gingerly with a loved one who is stressed and may think you are just being a busy-body.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 23)

Mars and Pluto can stimulate assertive and argumentat­ive behaviour in people, which may be directed towards you. Perhaps it’s time to show others that Crabs can stand up for themselves?

LEO (Jul 24-Aug 23)

The difficult Mars/Pluto square makes you more determined than usual. But there is a fine line between being persistent and just plain pushy. Cool compromise is the key to a drama-free day.

VIRGO (Aug 24-Sep 23)

It’s a good time to turn your talents to practical pursuits like cooking, crafting, decorating, gardening or DIY projects. But there’s more to a complex financial situation than meets the eye.

LIBRA (Sep 24-Oct 23)

Expect some tension between personal needs and family responsibi­lities. And don’t assume that others know what you want. You’ll have to be assertive and tell them what’s really on your mind.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 22)

The Mars/Pluto square activates your stubborn side, as you get stirred up over things you can’t control. The more you try to organise others, the more difficult and confrontin­g the day will be.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov 23-Dec 21)

Today you’ll feel like getting things off your chest via a serious talk with a family member. But friends and finances are a complicate­d mix at the moment, so strive to keep the two separate.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 20)

Is a cranky work colleague disturbing your profession­al space? It’s time to cool down Capricorn. Calm communicat­ion will get you a lot further today than power games and fiery flare-ups!
