Aries 21 March - 20 April... The Moon glides into your sign later today, and blends with the atmospheric vibe of Neptune. This combination can heighten your perceptions but lower your vitality. With the Sun in your home sector, also squaring off to stern Saturn, your physical energy can be at a premium. The best approach is to attend to only key tasks, and pace yourself. Don't take anything extra.

Taurus 21 April - 21 May... Astrology and life throw up some unexpected synchronicities and today could be one of those times. You could find yourself thinking about someone from your past, and sure enough they can pop up on social media. Your memory can also be vivid about old experiences that have tested you. Don't dwell too much but acknowledge their impact and know where you are now.

Gemini 22 May - 21 June... You're a person with many contacts. And part of you likes the way you can connect to a varied group of people, so well. However, this is a day when you may get a clearer insight into who doesn't quite meet your expectations. For even if these are not very high, someone could still disappoint with their unreliability. Also be careful about buying and selling online.

Cancer 22 June - 23 July... You've a genuine chance to improve your finances, but though that may be within your grasp, it is likely going to take a firm commitment. This could be around a new job, a property opportunity, or in your own enterprise. However, all these will require hard work and application. That's something you within your gift, but it needs to really feel right for you.

Leo 24 July - 23 August... How have you found the first week of the expansive Jupiter in Leo? Along with the glamorous Venus, the two planets of fortune are with you together for the first time in many years. Opportunity can show where you're open to alliances where you are bold and innovative. So why might you feel uncertain? It may be years of caution also being triggered today.

Virgo 24 August - 23 September... If you've found yourself doing so deep reflection, it would be of little surprise. Part of this can be because your ruler Mercury is retrograding in your sector of long-term plans and social connections. Both of these areas may be subject to pivots, but with the Sun in your idealistic zone, challenged by the scrutinising Saturn, some life realities may be show up.

Libra 24 September - 23 October... Your skilful appreciation of interpersonal dynamics can be amplified and help you to navigate some work-based politics. These may not be totally avoidable as the demands of a boss may test your virtue. Try to insulate yourself from all this, by thinking of brilliant new strategies. With Jupiter and Uranus in a glittering angle, you impress even the dourest of managers.

Scorpio 24 October - 22 November... You could find yourself being more aware of tiresome daily routines, chores and obligations. All of us do things which are more dutiful than pleasurable, but today those workaday demands can just seem that much duller. This mood will shift, but the bigger picture of why you feel penned in is because testing Saturn applies to your Sun, a draining aspect for sure.

Sagittarius 23 November - 21 December... With your ruler Jupiter picking up momentum in the most dynamic and adventurous part of areas - the first time in eleven years - what's not to like? And especially as his developing link to the brilliant Uranus can soon propel some properly interesting people into your spectrum. You may just be slowed by overthinking how this may all unfold. Try to stay in the moment.

Capricorn 22 December - 20 January... There have been such a lot of positive influences of late, but the retreating Mercury and tender Full Moon in your sign at the end of last month may have slowed things down and seen you reappraise. As your ruler Saturn, the zodiac's most serious influence, applies to the Sun in a heavyweight square, it may "feel" more challenging but perhaps just more settled.

Aquarius 21 January - 19 February... You may have given yourself a list of the things you want to tackle. That's impressive but do you really need to put yourself under pressure so early in the week? Whilst the planets are cheering on your connections to others, anything more virtuous might seem like a good plan, but today's celestial headwind suggests just focusing on getting through the basics, Aquarius.

Pisces 20 February - 20 March... The same set of circumstances can look very different depending on our frame of mind. Today sees the Moon align with both your ruling planets in quick succession but in different ways. Neptune can be the celestial shape shifter bar none, so if something seems uncertain, embrace the faith of Jupiter, which can affirm and support. Ultimately, what you think is key.
