JUSTIN TOPER

Capricorn Dec 22 –Jan 20

There should be a way to escape the office grind, which doesn’t mean you are lazy. However, with Mercury changing signs, and in Cancer, you should find solace elsewhere today. Despite someone to gaze at, and take your mind off things, rumours are rife in the workplace.

Aquarius Jan 21–Feb 19

You could write a love letter or drench yourself in perfume. Either way, it’s certain that you’ll be tugging at someone’s heart right up until Wednesday’s New Moon in Gemini. There is still plenty of time to communicate what you want. You don’t need anyone to teach you that.

Pisces Feb 20–Mar 20

This should be a time of domestic bliss. No matter that this is just a brief respite from your overworked existence. Aside from that, Mercury enters Cancer today, and it’s certainly rare for others to share their feelings – never mind share a house. The ties that bind us together!

Aries March 21–April 20

All forms of communication are highlighted in a special way. It may be time to call an estranged family member, even if there’s a terse exchange. This shouldn’t interfere with another arrangement. By rights, you could receive a message today. This is more than a conversation point.

Taurus April 21–May 21

It’s payback time. Even if a deal has collapsed, leaving you with a few scraps or barely a sausage, you can now afford to relax. In fact, what you are offered could well pay off the mortgage. How about a organising a package holiday? There is certainly a lot to get sorted today.

Gemini May 22–June 20

With the approaching New Moon in Gemini, it is time to resolve an intensely personal issue. Try to be concise and smile, even though you know full well you could stumble over your words today. After that, you should be glowing. At any rate, what happens will be deeply moving.

Cancer June 21–July 22

You seem to be in your own little world and in a reflective mood. Even so, with Mercury moving into your sign today, this is no time for small talk. By rights, you should get an amazing insight into how others feel about you. This is more invaluable than you imagine.

Leo July 23–August 22

True, you may be bombarded with invites before Wednesday’s New Moon in Gemini. Meanwhile, you might decide to put your phone on mute. Maybe you have to get something out of your system. Keeping your distance is fine. There will be plenty of time to socialise.

Virgo Aug 23–Sept 22

The approaching New

Moon in Gemini signifies that the powers that be are about to loosen their grip. As for one friendship, you have to consider whether you prize them above all else, even if they throw a right hissy fit today. No matter. There are splendid things happening.

Libra Sept 23–Oct 23

The approaching New Moon in Gemini continues to highlight different sights and exciting projects. For the lucky few there are blue skies ahead. Meanwhile, your star is in the ascendancy, and you can impress somebody today. Don’t allow fear of failure or rejection to hinder you.

Scorpio Oct 24–Nov 22

Mercury glides into Cancer. There should be some glad tidings from near or afar. Admittedly, you may have to get your financial affairs in order before you book a holiday. Though, even if you are bad with money, there is a silver lining today. Not enough for a private island...

Sagittarius Nov 23 –Dec 21

By rights, you should be in your element. However, due to the approaching New Moon in Gemini, try not to let the sun set on an argument. This is a highly significant time in a relationship that appears perfect to outsiders. And yet, you could be giddy with excitement today.
