Aries 21 March - 20 April... With the Moon passing your ruler, Mars, located in Gemini, you may feel a strong urge to speak quickly and say things exactly as you see them. However, with the planet of relating Venus located in practical Virgo opposing the North Node in sensitive Pisces, be mindful not to let impatience turn into criticism that masks your own deeper vulnerabilities.

Taurus 21 April - 21 May... It's a rare Taurus that doesn't have an appreciation of the good things in life, and today you could make a snap decision to splash out on something that really catches your eye. Some new tech could appeal. Then again, you may be generous and buy someone a gift. The next four weeks can also see you enjoying a festival, watching a band or attending a stage show.

Gemini 22 May - 21 June... You may be surprising yourself, almost by the day, with how much more outspoken you're becoming, or with how much you are asserting your need for personal space. Those people who know you well might still be getting used to this, and it may take a while. It's not that you can't be tactful, but it's as if you're being supercharged to be your most authentic version.

Cancer 22 June - 23 July... Many Cancerians prefer to avoid showing frustration obviously. Your natural quest for self-preservation leads you to withdraw rather than verbalise inner turbulence. However, today this may prove more challenging. If some irritation comes up, don't judge it. It may be that something quite historic could be triggered, perhaps by someone's careless remark.

Leo 24 July - 23 August... With lucky Jupiter now finding its way in Leo, your leadership qualities are likely being ignited. Today, with the passionate, if edgy, mix of the Moon and Mars in the most sociable of areas for you, when it comes to weekend plans, you can seize the mantle on arrangements, corralling friends into a plan, and injecting enthusiasm into them. You'll likely relish the buzz.

Virgo 24 August - 23 September... Someone may frustrate you today, and it may be difficult to disguise. Just be sure that with Venus now in your sign and face to face with the North Node, you are not expecting more from them than they are able to give. It doesn't mean you aren't right to feel they could do better, as far as you are concerned, but their perspective just may be very different to yours.

Libra 24 September - 23 October... The Moon in Gemini energises your communications. Talking about travel plans or past trips can really see your enthusiasm bubbling up. Then again, you may want to head out and do something more active, especially if you enjoy physical activities. In a relationship, if there have been any tensions, you may prefer not to sweat these and enjoy some personal space.

Scorpio 24 October - 22 November... Deeper thoughts today may leave you feeling mentally restless and engaged in intense internal dialogue. With Venus opposing the North Node, be mindful not to mask any emotional vulnerability with sarcasm or detachment. You can analyse emotions with almost frame-by-frame scrutiny, so a good counterpoint would be to link out to a jolly friend.

Sagittarius 23 November - 21 December... With the Moon in Gemini opposing your sign, relationships and conversations may feel fast, direct or slightly confrontational. Then again, if this does occur, at least your boundaries will have been set, which is always the upside of a frank exchange. However, equally, today's energies can give you the push to reach out to someone you are very attracted to, Archer.

Capricorn 22 December - 20 January... You may be minded to multitask or respond to others' needs. If so, try to clear away these practical demands in your well-ordered way, and free time to enjoy the day later. Your connections and conversations with others will grow in importance over the next week, and social invites will pick up. The chance to spend more time with friends can prove welcome.

Aquarius 21 January - 19 February... You can find yourself buzzing with energy and generating lots of brilliant ideas. Whilst your dual nature of being both practical and ingenious can see you looking to value and qualify your creativity based on whether you can monetise them or not, today, enjoy the moment. There could even be a flirty spark with someone.

Pisces 20 February - 20 March... The Moon in Gemini, aligning with the restless Mars, could see you feeling pulled between intuition and overthinking. However, with Venus opposing the North Node in your sign, be mindful not to absorb criticism too personally or lose sight of your emotional base. Venus will work best for you over the next month if you extend as much trust as possible to others.
