Starwatch

AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 19)

A relationship with a relative or neighbour could be complicated today. Mercury muddles communication, while Mars contributes to moody moments and perhaps some fiery drama.

PISCES (Feb 20-Mar 20)

Hey Pisces: you think you know what’s going on with a troubled friend or relative, but you are probably way off the mark. You need to be patient and perceptive if you want to turn things around.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 20)

Words can cut like a knife! It will be very easy to say the wrong thing to the wrong person at the wrong time today. So think things through before you speak and choose your words wisely.

TAURUS (Apr 21-May 21)

It will be hard to work out where others are coming from today Taurus. So do your best to avoid misinterpreting motivations and jumping to conclusions. Try to be patient and understanding.

GEMINI (May 22-Jun 21)

Prepare for a fiery debate or a complicated drama today Twins. You’re keen to initiate changes, but don’t underestimate the resistance of some people to your plans. Try to proceed diplomatically.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 23)

You’re frustrated by some people’s lack of speed and motivation, but it’s not the time to push buttons. Instead, make connections with close friends who focus on solutions, and stay positive.

LEO (Jul 24-Aug 23)

You’re keen to take action and change the status quo. But don’t jump in and be an impulsive Lion. Tune into your trusty inner voice. It will lead you in the direction that’s right for you.

VIRGO (Aug 24-Sep 23)

Venus is in your career zone, which encourages being diplomatic in your dealings with colleagues, clients or customers. You’ll achieve more from a kind and caring approach than by burning bridges.

LIBRA (Sep 24-Oct 23)

Are you being uncharacteristically insensitive? When it comes to a loved one or colleague, take the time to walk a mile in their shoes. Then you’ll have some insight into what they’re going through.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 22)

It’s not a suitable day to deal with a complicated work matter. Mercury and Mars make it hard to focus on the important details. Instead, be a super patient Scorpio and wait.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23-Dec 21)

Peace-loving Venus is visiting your partnership zone until August 7. So your motto for the moment is from writer Robert Louis Stevenson “Compromise is the best and cheapest lawyer.”

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 20)

There are plenty of unfinished jobs to tackle around the home so get to it. But be careful when communicating with a family member, as it will be easy to blurt out something that you later regret.
