THE phrase ‘art for art’s sake’ is often credited to the French poet Gautier. He opposed the idea that art is beneficial only when it serves moral purposes. Yet, while beauty and creativity are qualities with inherent value, there’s no shame in using them to connect with others. Before entering Libra today, Mercury’s link with Uranus suggests that a breakthrough is possible. But bridges of healing must be beautiful, as well as sturdy.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 MAKING mistakes is part of being human. The trick is to learn from our past errors. Yet, some people put so much effort into dwelling on their faults that they waste precious time berating themselves. As a natural leader, what do you do? Actually, you’ve got so much to do that you probably don’t have a lot of time to answer that. In which case, as the planet of ideas links to sparky Uranus today, you’ll be even more dynamic than usual; any mistakes look highly unlikely. There’s no reason to punish yourself either.

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 SOME people think the cosmos has a grand plan for everyone. That if we only pay attention to the subtle signs and whispers on the wind, we can flow through life with ease.

They’re much more likely to tell the cosmos, in no uncertain terms, what they desire and trust that it will happen. No matter which view suits your approach, rest assured that today’s Mercury/Uranus link highlights your adaptability and brings success.

GEMINI May 22 - June 22 ALTHOUGH you’re safely out of one emotional danger zone, you’re still at risk of worrying yourself into a state of unnecessary anxiety. You’re not alone, though; no matter how much life encourages us, we’re all able to induce such states in ourselves. We seem to take pleasure in pinpointing potential problems and imagining how they might spiral out of control and leave us feeling overwhelmed.

CANCER June 23 - July 23 SOME people are a nightmare to buy presents for. Whether it’s their expensive taste, their short-lived interests or that they have everything they need, it’s easy to feel as if it’s impossible to get it right. Then there’s the reverse: the people who find it excruciatingly awkward to receive a gift; for them, the best present is being given permission to skip it altogether. Yet few things convey the depth of our feelings like a perfectly chosen gift. The cosmos offers this to you today. With its magic, anything’s possible.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23 WOULD you mind opening your eyes and noting what you see, then closing them again and focusing on that image? How do the pictures differ? In some ways, there’s a huge contrast, yet they have more in common than you think. There’s a sense, in your world, that no matter which direction you look in, you’re seeing things that make you uncomfortable. Even the people you’re connecting with seem to be emanating concern.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23 SOMETIMES we do things hoping they’ll make us feel better, yet they leave us feeling more susceptible. Imagine going out for a walk. Just as you’re starting to relax, you notice ominously dark clouds forming overhead. A sudden downpour forces you to seek shelter and your only option seems to be a tree which is on the other side of a barbed wire fence. You manage to climb over only to realise that it encloses a ferocious looking bull. Aargh. There’s no need to overly protect yourself today. The storm is passing.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23 AS MERCURY moves into your sign, you’re beginning to feel more comfortable. You’ve made some important decisions and are more self-confident. Yet, although you’re aware of your ability to implement change, you’re still feeling daunted about an important matter.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22 IF YOU just continue plodding onwards, where will you get to? To answer that, we’re going to need one more detail. Which direction are you heading in?

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21 YOU face an opportunity that seems less than ideal. While you recognise its potential, you’re also aware that it’s the only realistic option available.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 ALTHOUGH you tend to downplay your talents, others are aware of your abilities. Your far-sightedness and your knack for playing the long game have put you in an admirable position. The only thing that threatens your success is a tendency to move quickly and make assumptions. This isn’t something that happens often. But, as your understanding of a situation begins to solidify, it’s worth bearing in mind.
