Aries 21 March - 20 April... A flamboyant link between the planet of relating Venus, and the planet of bubbly optimism Jupiter, has been to the fore this week, and it may have seen some upbeat interactions. As Venus moves to oppose the sensible Saturn, a more cautious vibe prevails. And whether in developing connections or ongoing relationships, things can feel more restrained.

Taurus 21 April - 21 May... Your appreciation of quality is unlikely to change, but your decisions to purchase them could take a rain check today. You can be in a thrifty mood, and keen to get maximum value. However, this can be a good thing, helping to ground all sorts of financial decisions, and introduce a stronger appreciation of what you have. Shared finances may, though, cause tensions.

Gemini 22 May - 21 June... Even if you have found someone great fun recently, perhaps even very attractive, the sparkle may just seem to be muted today. This needn't be terminal, more a slice of realism, which is what everyday relationships routinely possess. The Moon helps this, however, bringing an appreciation that some detachment, and a chance to tune into other friendships, is helpful.

Cancer 22 June - 23 July... The planets have been giving you great encouragement to value your qualities, and where you've wanted, to pitch your talents to those in the know. Today you may prefer to hunker down and appreciate the more homely side of your situation. This could arouse a wider train of thought about whether your work-life balance is as you'd like, and what is being compromised.

Leo 24 July - 23 August... Your personality power has been supercharged of late, but it's always good to be watchful when things are powering along, and today is a case in point. Something you say, which is perfectly fine, could just jar on another person for no apparent reason. To handle this, just be that much more circumspect about how you say things, but equally don't disguise your vibe.

Virgo 24 August - 23 September... Shared finances could throw up some differences of perspective. And it could be one of those situations where neither of you are wrong, but just looking at the same scenario in a slightly different way. You are in a phase of the year when your appreciation of the spiritual dimension can get stronger, or you feel more cautious, and that could be informing your perspective.

Libra 24 September - 23 October... When Venus, your ruler, is at home in your sign, as she now is, it really helps you to glow up and show what a class act you can be. Further, with such a powerful cluster of energies in the most social part of your chart, others have been aware of this. So why today might you feel a touch despondent, Libra? Well, it could be because someone is more direct. If so, keep the faith.

Scorpio 24 October - 22 November... With your worldly interactions receiving extra planetary support, relationships may not take a back seat as such, just less of your focus. However, the busyness you have experienced may seem to someone close like disinterest. Even if this may be unfair, given the wider circumstances, it can be the perfect time to step back from the demands and let them know you care.

Sagittarius 23 November - 21 December... Is that sparkling friendship disguising a developing attraction? Well, the truth is, Sagittarius, only you can decipher this. For today's stars could see what seems like a flirty connection be confirmed as nothing more than banter, or the beginning of something deeper. However, you might want to be a little bit cautious if you do hope for more, as Venus and Saturn clash.

Capricorn 22 December - 20 January... With so much planetary emphasis around shared aims, deeper bonds and the bigger picture, you may have been looking at how you fit into wider plans. Today, Venus opposes Saturn, and this can bring a more realistic tone to ambitions or friendships. Don't mistake a pause for a setback, as some things need time to develop fully, something you appreciate more than most.

Aquarius 21 January - 19 February... The current Leo emphasis has been shining a light on your relationships, and where you stand with important people. Today, you might become more aware of where effort is mutual, and where it is not. A more serious conversation may be useful, but don't let a moment of reserve make you overlook where genuine affection has been gaining a foothold in your situation.

Pisces 20 February - 20 March... Your daily routines, wellbeing and working patterns have been under a spotlight, and today, as Venus and Saturn face off, this suggests reviewing what is sustainable. You may need to be realistic about what you can give, especially if others have been relying on you rather too much of late. A little restructure now can help you to restore a better sense of balance.
