- with Joanne Madeline Moore

AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 19)

Don’t despair if a relationsh­ip is coming to an end. It has run its natural course and now is the time to move on. Focus on the future, as you act on your hunches and follow your dreams.

PISCES (Feb 20-Mar 20)

There’ll be plenty of opportunit­ies to shine in the spotlight today Pisces. Work and business are on your mind. However, when it comes to contracts, make sure you read the fine print thoroughly.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 20)

Venus makes a lovely link with your ruler Mars. So – if you are creative and proactive – you’ll taste success and feel satisfied today. Socialisin­g with work colleagues is also favoured.

TAURUS (Apr 21-May 21)

Your greatest asset is your Taurean tenacity, so use it to your advantage. As poet and biographer Samuel Johnson wrote: “Great works are performed, not by strength, but by perseveran­ce.”

GEMINI (May 22-Jun 21)

It’s a good time to join forces with friends or colleagues to find a solution to a persistent problem. Plus make sure you get outside and do something physical that gets your blood pumping.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 23)

It’s a wonderful day to communicat­e with others in creative ways. By pooling ideas and resources, you can make beautiful music together! If you’re looking for love, you’ll have to be proactive.

LEO (Jul 24-Aug 23)

Your hunch about a family member or close friend is spot on. But some creative changes are needed to your daily routine, so you can capitalise on the lucky opportunit­ies that are around.

VIRGO (Aug 24-Sep 23)

Venus and Mars boost your confidence and earthy creativity. Be inspired by fellow Virgo, writer Samuel Johnson. “Self-confidence is the first requisite to great undertakin­gs.”

LIBRA (Sep 24-Oct 23)

Sociable Librans love chatting about creative ideas but you can be rather lazy. Today proactive Mars gives your motivation and energy levels a boost. So it’s the perfect time to walk your talk.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 22)

Mercury and Mars are visiting Scorpio, which boosts your stubborn side. So avoid getting stuck in a comfortabl­e rut. When it comes to relationsh­ips, it’s time to ring in some positive changes.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov 23-Dec 21)

Have the courage to follow your intuition – it will lead you in the right direction. But don’t be slapdash and take short-cuts. If someone tells you something in confidence, can you keep a secret?

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 20)

Venus and Mars boost your natural Capricorn charisma today, so make the most of it. If you’ve been neglecting your nearest and dearest, then they may remind you in surprising ways.
