Aries 21 March - 20 April... The Sun in diplomatic Libra is moving into a very positive link with Jupiter, the planet of possibilities. This is an aspect that encourages us to extend the hand of friendship or a goodwill gesture, without any catches, and this can see serendipity exchanged. However, with Venus, the guide planet of Libra, tested by Uranus, we can't expect or demand this.

Taurus 21 April - 21 May... A little give and take can go a long way, especially where an important bond is concerned. The Sun's link with Jupiter encourages generosity and a willingness to see the bigger picture, but Venus in your opposite sign is being unsettled by Uranus. Someone may surprise you by changing their mind. Leave room for flexibility rather than assuming all will proceed as hoped.

Gemini 22 May - 21 June... There can be a welcome sense that things are beginning to open up, particularly around work, wellbeing or the practical routines that shape your day. Jupiter encourages you to think positively and not underestimate what's possible. Yet Venus and Uranus have other ideas, and a change of plan may be necessary. Don't let a minor disruption throw you off course.

Cancer 22 June - 23 July... It's a good day for enjoying the company of people who make you feel optimistic. The Sun and Jupiter encourage warmth, laughter and a willingness to meet others halfway, while the late Scorpio Moon adds emotional depth to the picture. Just don't be too quick to assume you know what someone wants. Their feelings may be more changeable than they first appear.

Leo 24 July - 23 August... Jupiter in your sign is receiving a helpful boost from the Sun, making this a time to think bigger about something you've been working towards. Someone may be willing to offer encouragement, open a door or simply remind you of your own potential. Venus and Uranus, though, suggest that a personal or domestic matter could prove less predictable.

Virgo 24 August - 23 September... You could find yourself seeing a familiar situation from a rather different angle. The Sun and Jupiter suggest conversation can help you find common ground, particularly with someone whose outlook differs from your own. But Venus in Scorpio is being provoked by Uranus, so don't assume that because you've reached an understanding, everything is settled.

Libra 24 September - 23 October... The Sun in your sign is drawing closer to a lovely connection with Jupiter, bringing a sense that goodwill can come back to you in unexpected ways. Being generous with your time or encouragement could prove rewarding. Yet Venus, your ruler, is caught in an awkward angle with Uranus, so someone may not respond quite as you hoped. Just let them be themselves.

Scorpio 24 October - 22 November... With the Moon moving through your sign, your instincts are likely to be particularly strong. You may also sense that a situation is ready to move forward, with the Sun and Jupiter encouraging greater optimism about what can be achieved. Still, Venus in your sign is having an awkward time with Uranus. However, a surprise could ultimately work to your benefit.

Sagittarius 23 November - 21 December... There is plenty to encourage a positive outlook, especially if you've recently felt that circumstances have been restrictive. Making connections with people who share your enthusiasm and can broaden your horizons. However, something behind the scenes may need your attention. Do trust your instincts if something doesn't quite add up, Sagittarius.

Capricorn 22 December - 20 January... A conversation with a friend, colleague or someone influential could leave you feeling encouraged about your longer-term plans. Jupiter reminds you that one opportunity can lead to another, and the Sun helps you approach people in a constructive spirit. But don't count on everyone being equally accommodating. Someone's indecision could alter the arrangements.

Aquarius 21 January - 19 February... You may be ready to take a more expansive view of your ambitions, and today's Sun-Jupiter energies are likely driving this. Someone may believe that you have more to offer than you realise, or a conversation could put a fresh possibility into play. Still, Venus and Uranus urge against making assumptions about where a particular arrangement is heading.

Pisces 20 February - 20 March... A chance to broaden your outlook could come through someone who sees things rather differently from you. Openness, generosity and learning from other people's experiences could be particularly refreshing. Meanwhile, today's Scorpio Moon encourages you to trust what you pick up beneath the surface. Just be prepared for someone to surprise you.
