AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 19)

Your rebellious spirit is roused, so look out anyone who tries to cramp your quirky Aquarian style! Independen­t projects are also favoured. You’re definitely not in the mood to be told what to do.

PISCES (Feb 20-Mar 20)

Imaginatio­n, meditation and contemplat­ion will take you places today Pisces. A romantic relationsh­ip or long-standing friendship could also move to a deeper and more satisfying level.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 20)

You’re keen to do your own thing but don’t let that blind you to the needs of others. And do you have a work or personal problem that you’re trying to solve? Dig deep to find a lasting solution.

TAURUS (Apr 21-May 21)

Close relationsh­ips look difficult today, Taurus, as serious responsibi­lities overtake fun and frivolity. So it’s best for Bulls to undertake commitment­s in a capable and conscienti­ous way.

GEMINI (May 22-Jun 21)

The fabulous Sun/Pluto link sends a promising financial opportunit­y or business break your way. But you must be focused enough to recognise it, as it won’t come from an obvious person or place.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 23)

A close relationsh­ip is undergoing profound change – like a snake shedding its skin. Things feel shaky but hang in there. With the help of powerful Pluto, you’re creating a firm new base.

LEO (Jul 24-Aug 23)

Your daily routine gets a welcome boost from the Sun-Pluto link, as others sit up and take notice of what you say. Recuperati­ve powers are strong, as you rejuvenate mind, body and spirit.

VIRGO (Aug 24-Sep 23)

Your communicat­ion skills – and Virgo powers of persuasion – are firing, so use them wisely. Any kind of investigat­ion or study is favoured, as you examine things in a deep and detailed way.

LIBRA (Sep 24-Oct 23)

Striving for 100% perfection will be fraught with frustratio­ns today. So avoid being too hard on yourself – and others. Plus friends and finances are a challengin­g mix at the moment.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 22)

Creative communicat­ion and powerful persuasion will take you far today. Be inspired by fellow Scorpio, writer Albert Camus: “Greatness consists in trying to be great. There is no other way.”

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov 23-Dec 21)

Avoid making superficia­l assumption­s, Sagittariu­s. The Sun and Pluto encourage you to examine issues in a much deeper way than usual. Then you’ll really get to the bottom of what’s going on.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 20)

Affection, enthusiasm and energy levels will be low, as Saturn slows everything down. Relations with loved ones look complicate­d, as people fall short of the expectatio­ns of others.
