YOUR STARS

★ ARIES MARCH 21-APRIL 19

Your instincts steer you in the right direction today because you don’t hesitate or question your judgment. In fact, your trust in your intuition can lead you to some big wins right now, so get involved in competitions you find in any realm. Whether it’s an impromptu race up the stairs at work or a big new home project, your skills and talents are honed to a winning edge.

★ TAURUS APRIL 20-MAY 20

It’s too easy (and tempting) to get involved in battles of wits today, but be careful not to let it descend to the level of playground fighting. Consider whether there’s really any point to debating or if it’s really just a way for two people to shout opinions past each other. If you feel absolutely obnoxious, work it out down at the gym. The exercise should do you lots of good.

★ GEMINI MAY 21-JUNE 21

When you’re hanging around with the right people, things start moving faster than you’d have thought possible. The old saying about great minds thinking alike is true, of course, but great minds can bring dreams to life just because they think alike. Plant those ideas even if they’re only sprouts.

★ CANCER JUNE 22-JULY 21

Did you really just spout off that shocking one-liner in the middle of the workday? What made you decide to wear that bright red outfit outdoors? Surely you’re joking. You’re not actually taking off on a spontaneous road trip, are you? It might all be true. You’re feeling daring and quite unlike your usual reserved self.

★ LEO

JULY 21-AUGUST 22

Your energy puts you front and centre, just where you want to be. Soak up the warmth of the spotlight and get ready to rock your audience with your best moves. Don’t worry if you’re unprepared. You know you’re at your best when you improvise. It’s not like you’re at a loss when entertaining a crowd, especially with the extra dose of charisma and charm that you’ve got now.

★ VIRGO

AUGUST 23-SEPTEMBER 22

Give in to that whim. Your organized self loves your schedule, but it’s essential for you to leave room for serendipity, or that well planned timetable could start to feel like a prison cell. If someone wants to take you across town for a quick shopping spree, say yes. If your partner wants to go for a bike ride, say yes. If you want to go outdoors and walk barefoot in the grass, say yes!

★ LIBRA SEPTEMBER 23-OCTOBER 22

It would be nice if your bank account was as full as your calendar, because invitations are coming at an alarming rate! The pleasure of your company is required by seemingly everyone you know and maybe a few people who don’t know you yet but are dying to meet you. Whatever you’ve got on the schedule, you should have fun. It’s also a great time to head out with your friends if you can.

★ SCORPIO OCTOBER 23-NOVEMBER 21

A work situation could get pretty serious if you keep bringing up your authority issues. While your concerns are valid and definitely need to be addressed, it’s best to save them for a time when you can get along better with those in power and they aren’t so sensitive. Not only will you save yourself a ton of trouble, you might even see some positive change.

★ SAGITTARIUS NOVEMBER 22-DECEMBER 21

Adventure is calling, and you always answer in the affirmative. You’ve got the itch to get out of the house, so if you can, take a little road trip today, even if it’s just to a new neighbourhood. A simple, tasty meal from a new-to-you culture can be enough to satisfy your wanderlust. If you’ve got time, start researching that trip abroad you’ve been meaning to take.

★ CAPRICORN DECEMBER 22-JANUARY 19

If someone is intent on getting all they can and then some out of you, remind them politely but firmly that you can only give so much and that you’re tapped out for now. You’re totally within your rights to insist that they back off and give you more room to breathe. Though it’s true that you’re totally capable of dealing with multitasking, enough is enough for now.

★ AQUARIUS JANUARY 20-FEBRUARY 20

You love the spontaneous side of life, and that goes double when it comes to people willing to act on impulse. You’re due to meet up with several of those types today, and you shouldn’t find a single one boring. You may need to settle a few disputes (like who asked you out first), and please excuse the rest of us if we’re not sympathetic to this big problem.

★ PISCES FEBRUARY 20-MARCH 20

Are your colleagues snooping around your space looking for clues or distraction? Politely tell them to buzz off so you can concentrate on your work. You have a say in how you’re treated, of course, so you don’t have to let them make big demands of you and give you their responsibilities. If they don’t stop hovering, get up and take a walk until it’s safe to come back.
