Aries 21 March - 20 April... Your thinking can be super sharp today. Whatever you might be grappling with, you can do with aplomb. These days we are bombarded with so much different information, but you'll have the happy knack of focusing on what's really essential. With this level of increased concentration, you can find yourself working efficiently clearing up outstanding tasks quickly.

Taurus 21 April - 21 May... You can be quick-witted but also highly creative today, Taurus. This will help you flex into opportunities with ease but also amuse people with your sense of fun. If you do have an interest that you are enjoying, things can speed up and take shape well. If you are meeting up with friends, or having a date night, this can turn out to be a particularly enjoyable day.

Gemini 22 May - 21 June... This is a day to trust your instincts as much as your intellect. A conversation, message or piece of information can prove especially useful and help you join the dots on something that's puzzled you. With the Moon aligning with the North Node, someone you meet or hear from could have an interesting role to play in your future. Your curiosity is the key to this.

Cancer 22 June - 23 July... Your ability to see beneath the surface is enhanced today. Whether you are dealing with finances, a family matter or an emotional issue, you can make progress. If you have been researching something important, you'll absorb facts with ease. A conversation about plans or shared resources can also prove particularly productive and leave you feeling uplifted.

Leo 24 July - 23 August... Today's Mercury Cazimi can shine a light on practical and financial matters. If you've been weighing up a purchase, discussing terms or organising paperwork, your mind is razor sharp. Yet with the Moon's link to the North Node in your opposite sign, look to be open to other people's perspectives. Although you like to take the lead, collaborations can work well.

Virgo 24 August - 23 September... This can be one of the standout days of the year for you Virgo. Your guide, Mercury's union with the Sun in your sign, sharpens your perceptions and gives you the confidence to express yourself with authority. Just know, however, that any desire to be more individualistic could surprise a colleague or boss, who may be more used to you quietly completing your tasks.

Libra 24 September - 23 October... Some of your best ideas can emerge when you give yourself time to cocoon yourself away, even for a few hours. You can find yourself rooting out some real gems when it comes to research or pondering your next steps. You may also think back to an old role, or a connection you once had. It may take a while to fully recall all the details, but this could prove valuable.

Scorpio 24 October - 22 November... Friends, colleagues or people within your network can provide valuable information today. But as much as this can help you to think long term, or see the bigger picture, you can apply any ideas in a practical, functional way. That's not always easy to do, but it could come from a genuine desire to get something working better, and in a way that helps others, too.

Sagittarius 23 November - 21 December... Your professional reputation has been in the spotlight this week. And today, whether you're presenting an idea, attending an interview, or simply discussing future ambitions, your words can have even greater impact as the Sun and Mercury forge a powerful alliance. However, this is one of those rare times when you can blend your intuition with those ideas too, Archer.

Capricorn 22 December - 20 January... A subject that may have once seemed hard to grapple with can suddenly become easier to grasp. Someone with experience or specialist knowledge may offer advice that helps you take your next step with greater confidence. Still, if you have ideas you want to share or promote, it can be a great time to raise your profile and reach more people, particularly online.

Aquarius 21 January - 19 February... The Moon briefly but powerfully aligns with the North Node in your sign. This can be a telling opportunity to be guided by your instincts as well as your wits. This may mean that you are single-minded, which someone could resist, but if you are looking to tease more from your resources, a mixture of your careful analysis and gut feeling can guide you best of all.

Pisces 20 February - 20 March... Mercury is not just about messages, but details. And today, as it combines with the Sun, a relationship matter can be clarified by chatting over all the different angles. So why might you doubt what's being said, or even how you feel? Well, it could be because there is a subtle but powerful planetary combination today in a more psychological chart zone, that blurs things.
