Aries 21 March - 20 April... Gorgeous Venus enters the most nurturing of zones, perfect for getting paint charts, redecorating, and adding an extra comforting dimension to your home or outdoor space. Linking back to the energetic Mars newly arrived in Taurus, she gives you the desire to bring extra sensual pleasure to your senses. Enjoy home cooking? Some new ideas can appeal.

Taurus 21 April - 21 May... As your guide planet, Venus glides into your sector of ideas and buzzy conversation, your ability to share your thoughts diplomatically is aided by an extra layer of charm - perhaps even sophistication. Now that Mars has joined you, you are also feeling reenergised and more self-assured, and people will notice. Expect to draw lots of extra attention from now, Taurus.

Gemini 22 May - 21 June... Your ideas have been sparkling brightly, and one could start to bring you a return, with your everyday finances boosted by the lovely Venus. Some serendipity could be on its way to you, so be open to its gift. Yet, if you have been on any kind of diet, you may find calorific goodies that much harder to resist for the next four weeks, with your discipline tested.

Cancer 22 June - 23 July... Although you have had some moments of needing extra space lately, your senses can be revived beautifully by the lovely and alluring Venus joining your sign. This is perfect for giving yourself a glamorous makeover, but it's her link to the dynamic Mars that can prime your networking instincts, Cancer, and urge you back out into the social whirl.

Leo 24 July - 23 August... Connections to your past can be vivid, and you may feel nostalgic. However, you may link up with old schoolmates, college friends, or colleagues for a reunion in the weeks ahead. Indeed, reconnecting with a former workmate could be helpful if you are looking for a new role. Unsettled in love? You enter a time of deep review and may need to collect your thoughts.

Virgo 24 August - 23 September... With work and worldly commitments dominating of late, the newly arrived planet of charm, Venus, in your sector of socialising, and her link to the assured Mars in the most daring part of your horoscope, can be just the spark you need to reignite your interactions with others. Soon enough, you can find yourself discussing a group outing or holiday together.

Libra 24 September - 23 October... Your worldly and professional prospects are boosted by your ruler, the suave Venus, moving into the most powerful sector of her annual journey. Be it through job applications, presentations, or projects, your skilful handling of contacts and influential people can bolster your reputation and see you seize a big opportunity with a new job or contract within your grasp.

Scorpio 24 October - 22 November... Travel plans can take on more allure for the next four weeks. Visiting places rich with exotic foods, history, and architecture that you can immerse yourself in can stimulate your senses. Nearer to home, the arts, music, and philosophy can capture your imagination. In romance, you want to know exactly where you stand, or if single, be drawn to someone very different.

Sagittarius 23 November - 21 December... You can be freedom-loving, but your need for space can be impacted by two delightful planetary influences. One could see some friendly banter and perhaps a surprise invitation to connect. The other can be deeper and more thought-provoking when someone with a mysterious vibe catches your eye. You may also find one item rather hard to resist buying.

Capricorn 22 December - 20 January... Some sharp edges may have come up in the last day or two and today offers an opportunity to get things onto a more harmonious level. It may be difficult to ignore a niggling matter yet letting it go or stepping back to get a broader perspective will be your best tack. Sometimes the things we get so caught up in are, in the grand scheme of things, really rather trivial.

Aquarius 21 January - 19 February... Your love of different and unusual ideas is highlighted, and you can feel really creative. You can channel your ingenuity into making positive changes in your home. Tasks that have been neglected can now be cleared away with impressive drive. And as much as getting things working practically may be your first focus, sharing domestic chores can increase bliss at home.

Pisces 20 February - 20 March... The Moon connects with the lovely Venus in the most playful and affectionate of ways, bringing warmth and uplift to your day. If you have children, their achievements can make you glow. However, it's Mars' energy that can really give you the push to share your ideas or interests with greater conviction and panache. People can be responsive, Pisces.
