Your daily stars

Joanne Madeline Moore has been a professional astrologer and writer since 1994. Her daily, weekly and yearly horoscopes are published on five continents.

LEO 24 JUL - 23 AUG

Artistic inspiration is high today, but so is the inclination to delude yourself or be led astray by a smooth-talking operator. Don’t let flattery go to your head and take the place of common sense.

VIRGO 24 AUG - 23 SEP

Are you being unusually unrealistic about a project that’s due to be completed? Stay grounded. Think creatively and keep your options wide open. You also need to be extra patient.

LIBRA 24 SEP - 23 OCT

With Venus – your power planet – vamping through your sign, you’re in the mood for love, luxury and lots of fun. As birthday great Mae West declared: “Too much of a good thing can be wonderful!”

SCORPIO 24 OCT - 22 NOV

With the moon and Jupiter in Scorpio, you’re at your passionate and compassionate best as you reach out to family and friends. As Charles Dickens wrote: “A loving heart is the truest wisdom.”

SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV - 21 DEC

You’re in the mood to make the most of the day in a bright and breezy and positive way. So your motto is from birthday great Mae West. “You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.”

CAPRICORN 22 DEC - 20 JAN

It’s time to become more involved with what’s going on in your local community. Whether it’s a market, art show, school fete or environment group. Make the most of your neighbourhood connections.

AQUARIUS 21 JAN - 19 FEB

When it comes to work and finances, it’s time to combine logic with intuition. Get the facts first and then have the courage to follow your inner voice. It will lead you in the right direction.

By Joanne Madeline Moore PISCES 20 FEB - 20 MAR

Today’s planetary patterns give you a creativity boost so make the most of it. But don’t get carried away and blur the lines between fact and fiction. Keep the two well separated.

ARIES 21 MAR - 20 APR

Strive to be sensitive about a relationship problem. And avoid getting drawn into senseless arguments, which will get you nowhere. A friend has some unexpected news, so listen up.

TAURUS 21 APR - 21 MAY

A close relationship receives a welcome energy surge. A family matter could also demand your time and some serious attention. So switch into sensible Taurus mode sooner rather than later.

GEMINI 22 MAY - 21 JUN

Don’t underestimate the power of your intuition today. It can point you in the right direction, especially at work. Plus pay attention to your dreams. Are they trying to tell you something?

CANCER 22 JUN - 23 JUL

The planets activate your self-expression zone, which boosts your creativity and increases your intuition. So tune into the artist within. Plus, listen to the wise counsel of your inner voice.
