- with Joanne Madeline Moore

AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 19)

The celestial focus is firmly on doing creative or humanitari­an work today. It’s also time to have some serious fun, as you swap stories and share enjoyable experience­s with family and friends.

PISCES (Feb 20-Mar 20)

Group activities are favoured today, as you combine talents for a productive result. It’s also a fabulous day to work on improving a close relationsh­ip. Constant close connection is the key.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 20)

Are you impatient with someone’s lack of initiative and enthusiasm? It’s not the day to push buttons. Instead be practical and surround yourself with proactive people who focus on positive solutions.

TAURUS (Apr 21-May 21)

You’re keen to tap into the happy hedonist within as you shop up a storm, eat at a fabulous restaurant or enjoy an indulgent massage. But try to do so without blowing your weekly budget.

GEMINI (May 22-Jun 21)

The more productive and cooperativ­e you are at work, the better you’ll feel. A positive attitude clears away the cobwebs, as you look for practical long-term solutions to current problems.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 23)

Do your best to nurture a special loved one in practical ways today. Perhaps you can help with shopping, errands, cooking, housework or homework? Or even give them a relaxing back massage?

LEO (Jul 24-Aug 23)

Under the influence of Venus and Saturn, it’s time to ground your fiery physical energy, focus your thoughts and get things done. If you put your mind to it, you’ll be unstoppabl­e!

VIRGO (Aug 24-Sep 23)

Enjoy some simple luxuries today Virgo. Like good food and wine, fresh flowers, personal pampering, inspiring music and convivial company. You deserve the good things in life!

LIBRA (Sep 24-Oct 23)

Positive Venus/Saturn aspects encourage ambitious plans, and you’re keen to impress others. But don’t promise more than you can comfortabl­y deliver. A loved one must be handled carefully.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 22)

With Venus and Saturn activating your communicat­ion zone it’s time to mix and mingle, chat and circulate, socialise and advertise. It’s also a good idea to update your social media profile.

The Sun and Mercury are moving through your sign. So clear, careful, logical communicat­ion will help improve relations with other people, as you get your message out loud and clear.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 20)

A friend or work colleague may be drawn to you for emotional comfort and practical support today Capricorn. You’re in the mood to listen, as you offer advice that is both sensible and sensitive.
