Aries 21 March - 20 April... Is it time for a gentle pause between being and doing? The Pisces Moon faces off with Venus in Virgo, so a part of you may want to get on with your to-do list, while another part might be ready to disappear into a daydream. It's a good idea to balance both, as this will give you the inspiration needed to bring a wonderful creation to life while remaining very efficient.

Taurus 21 April - 21 May... Your personal hobbies call out to you, so if you're in the mood to fashion something beautiful, this is the time to go ahead. Don't let your talents go to waste. Whatever allows you to shine, be sure to share and express it today. Don't forget your friends, though, as they'll want a slice of you too. An invitation or get-together could introduce you to people you'll feel at home with.

Gemini 22 May - 21 June... Your attention may be drawn to your public image and to your many accomplishments. You'll also be very tuned into how other people feel about you, which could be very revealing. You might want to get some quiet time to think things through. Venus in your home zone encourages you to make this the highlight of the day, so enjoy some pampering.

Cancer 22 June - 23 July... Have a yearning to get away from it all and bask in a place of peace and renewal? Even so, Venus in your sector of talk and thought encourages you to attend to your tasks and responsibilities first. It's best not to leave anything hanging in the air. Thinking of a quick getaway? Then prioritise those important jobs, so you can really relax when you get there.

Leo 24 July - 23 August... The Moon in an intense zone can stir up feelings that you may have been trying to ignore. It's better to acknowledge them and even embrace them, as it will be so much easier to let them go. You'll feel much better too. As it faces Venus in your personal money zone, you may be tempted to buy something special for yourself. A treat could leave you feeling especially upbeat.

Virgo 24 August - 23 September... You may be torn between attending to your own needs and helping someone else. While it's natural for you to do what you can to make others' lives easier, you're encouraged to put yourself first today. Do what's necessary to make yourself comfortable and happy. Yet this is also an opportunity for a heartfelt conversation that can heal and resolve any issues.

Libra 24 September - 23 October... A dream may need some deciphering, and there's a sense that it could be very important in helping you know what to do about a situation or relationship. Don't let your work take over; push it to one side. Your inner wisdom is trying to give you a message, so take time today to consider what it's trying to tell you. The insights will be revealing and inspire change too.

Scorpio 24 October - 22 November... Sometimes it's nice to potter around doing your own thing in a relaxed way, but friends may have other ideas and could be quite determined that you'll join them for a social occasion. In this case, it could be good for you to make the effort, as an encounter or conversation could clear up a matter that's been bothering you. A friend's expert advice might open the way.

Sagittarius 23 November - 21 December... Venus in your sector of public image means her presence can help you present a polished appearance that can't fail to impress. As the Moon faces off with this sociable planet today, a desire to totally relax may conflict with a need to give your best performance. Make allowances for both situations, as a chance to refuel can help you make the best impression.

Capricorn 22 December - 20 January... The wisest people are often those who keep learning, and you'll have a reminder of this today, as a local encounter could be the reason you decide to expand your outlook. An idea or suggestion might lead you to look abroad for new travel experiences or to study as a way to increase your knowledge. Zeroing in on local developments can also fire you up.

Aquarius 21 January - 19 February... It's time to pay attention to what nourishes you, and the current Moon-Venus aspect can give you a clue. Yet it might not be what you think. Yearning for something that can help you to feel better? Tempted to rush out to buy something? Pause, as it might be something deeper, such as connecting with someone you haven't heard from for a while or healing a lingering rift.

Pisces 20 February - 20 March... The Moon in your sign makes you aware of your needs, while its tie with Venus in Virgo can find others drawn to you because you leave them feeling better. You'll want to accommodate them too, but don't leave yourself overwhelmed by others' demands. Carve out some time to do your own thing and give yourself the respite you deserve. You won't regret it, Pisces.
