Aries 21 March - 20 April... The fizzing energy of yesterday's quite stunning New Moon can see your mind stirring with countless buzzy options. Yet as much as your excitement can be high, today's energies bring a subtle shift, one that is best embraced by slowing those thoughts and letting your instincts nudge you towards the one that will galvanize your fiery Aries enthusiasm the very most.

Taurus 21 April - 21 May... Your gift is to stay grounded, even when life can be unpredictable. Last year also saw you being drawn towards deeper, more healing strands, whilst maintaining a push to crystalise your worldly opportunities to the fullest of your ability. Today's Moon/Mercury merger in nurturing Cancer can see you enjoy one special conversation that reasserts the path you're on.

Gemini 22 May - 21 June... Your mind often works at the speed of sound, amplified by yesterday's quite brilliant Gemini New Moon. Anything you are starting afresh can feel all the more positive and sparkling because of this. Today, as she merges with your ruler Mercury in the watery Cancer, the trick is to blend ideas with your senses. The more aligned, the more your instincts will guide you.

Cancer 22 June - 23 July... Your appreciation of atmospheres can be acute. That's why conversations are not always needed for you to read a room. However, at times this sensitivity can lead to overload, and you can be unsure exactly what's what. Today, with your ruler, the Moon, back home in Cancer and her connection to the thinker Mercury, you have a chance to cut through to what's key.

Leo 24 July - 23 August... Friendship and social planetary energies remain exceptionally strong for you, Leo. Still, you may find yourself stepping back over the next day or so to consider your options. Think of that old maxim of quality over quantity. For as the Moon connects with Mercury and Jupiter in the deepest, tenderest of chart areas, what will appeal most of all is sincerity, not flattery.

Virgo 24 August - 23 September... Connections spark in different ways. Someone you once worked with can come to mind, or one of you can reach out. This may be a surprise, but in a good way. If you work somewhere with an okay atmosphere, this is something to appreciate. However, the current lunar backdrop could also spur you on to search for a new role - if you find some colleagues challenging.

Libra 24 September - 23 October... Your emotional intelligence really shines out now. If you work in a public role or are involved in local activities, people can appreciate that you speak skilfully but also with feeling. As one of the four Cardinal signs, your leadership credentials can blossom. Someone can notice how you remember past conversations and their situations, creating greater trust.

Scorpio 24 October - 22 November... Anything that sees you investigate or express deeper themes can prove compelling. Whether you are preparing something at work or embracing a gripping interest, your talent for getting to the nub of things can come to the fore. Why? Well, your imagination can be just that more vivid. A faraway place or person could also come into your thoughts and stir your senses.

Sagittarius 23 November - 21 December... The energy of renewal from yesterday's airy Gemini New Moon gives you an opportunity for a reset around relationships, connections, boundaries, and competitors. You're probably experiencing heightened excitement from this. Today's more emotional vibe can now see you be that much more direct and honest, in a totally unvarnished way, around these strands.

Capricorn 22 December - 20 January... Just because you can be more in control of expressing your emotions doesn't mean you need to control others. Today, though, gives you a chance to just relax a little and let the flow between you and people go back and forth in a natural way. This can lead to some lovely conversations, ones that are very much two-way and gratifying for those you speak with.

Aquarius 21 January - 19 February... With many astrological placements currently supporting you, your creativity is likely really flourishing. As fabulous as this is, ideas and talent will need to be applied with hard work and persistence. Today gives you the chance to embrace the detail and find the application that shapes these into something more tangible and lasting. Classic form and function, Aquarius.

Pisces 20 February - 20 March... Your home can become a hub of activity or a place of zen-like calm. It really is a choice just now, but whatever you decide to embrace, you will have the happy knack today of making things enjoyable. Have young children? Hosting a gathering with other parents can be a lot of fun. If you prefer cool solitude, you'll find imaginative ways to invent, make, or design.
