Mercury (Hobart)

Star watch

- With Joanne Madeline Moore

AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 19) Daily chores will seem a drag, as you long for more free time and less domestic responsibi­lities. Smart Aquarians will take care of business early, so there’s room for fun and games later on.

PISCES (Feb 20-Mar 20) Your goals may seem unreachabl­e but don’t be too discourage­d Pisces. With plenty of planning – and persistenc­e – you can make your dreams come true. But you must be in it for the long haul.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 20) Aries put a lot of energy into pursuing profession­al success, but there are no excuses for neglecting family and friends. So why not pick up the phone or jump in the car and get in touch?

TAURUS (Apr 21-May 21) The race is on to deliver more at work or, for unemployed Bulls, to find a job. Centre yourself. You don’t function well under pressure. Have the confidence to find your own steady pace.

GEMINI (May 22-Jun 21) The Moon’s in Cancer and you have much to learn from this sensitive sign. Like – less chatter, and more listening. Being kind and compassion­ate is definitely the way to go today.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 23) With the Moon moving through Cancer, you’re super sensitive and intuitive today. But be selective about who you mix with as you’re liable pick up some people’s negative moods like a sponge.

LEO (Jul 24-Aug 23) With the Moon in your dream zone, reach for the stars as you set goals for the future. But – if you are too bossy – then a friend or colleague could bring you back down to earth with a thud.

VIRGO (Aug 24-Sep 23) Money matters become serious, as you are hit with extra bills or rising costs. With Mercury and Mars moving through your $$$ zone, it’s time to be creative and proactive about your finances.

LIBRA (Sep 24-Oct 23) It’s a good day to nurture your profession­al contacts. With some nifty networking, you’ll take your career up to the next level. If you’re looking for a job, don’t expect instant results. Be patient.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 22) Choose your words carefully today – especially when you’re conversing with the main women in your life. And avoid getting drawn into discussion­s about ‘the big two’ – money and politics.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov 23-Dec 21) Sagittaria­ns are always searching for happiness. Your mantra for the day is from peace activist Mahatma Gandhi: “Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 20) The Moon’s moving through your relationsh­ip zone so try to make other people the centre of your world today, Capricorn. If a loved one’s feeling upset, then offer them a shoulder to cry on.
