Aries 21 March - 20 April... It's an energetic start to the week, one that gives you a solid platform to set your goals and then go for them. However, to really make this work for you, think about what you want to achieve. As much as your ability to share inspired ideas with others is to the fore, precision will be important too. Otherwise, your energy may end up getting scattered and get wasted.

Taurus 21 April - 21 May... The Sun is our core energy; Mars gives us the desire to express our passions. Today's link between them is an opportunity to be both enthusiastic and persuasive. Your words can carry more clout, but it's where you are completely gripped by something that they'll land best. A further bonus is that your mind can be agile, and all this sees you creative and productive.

Gemini 22 May - 21 June... Your ruler, the celestial winged messenger, sparks brilliantly. The original idea you have could enthuse you and motivate you to move forward at speed. Not your usual fare for a Monday, true, but if something has been capturing your imagination, do believe it is worthy of working with. Another energy can also see you attend to delayed practical chores.

Cancer 22 June - 23 July... Fiery Mars may not naturally thrive in your sign, but today, his link to the radiance of the Sun gives you a great platform to be single-minded about a project or plan that requires stamina and drive. If someone doesn't quite get the merits of this, don't be deflected. You may even need to let go of some vague self-doubts but truly focus Cancer and go for it.

Leo 24 July - 23 August... The Sun's rulership of your sign confers many possibilities. At its best, it gives you a great platform for individualism, self-confidence and passion. With Jupiter, the planet of optimism, continuing with you until next year, you can and will showcase many talents. Yet past issues or hurts may still have been calling out for your attention. Now you can make sense of why.

Virgo 24 August - 23 September... There are two dominant planetary influences today, and you are one of the signs that can benefit most. They give you a great opportunity to focus on an individual plan with a firm eye on your future horizons, while also collaborating where needed. Your talent is for precision, but when melded with innovation and your abundant drive, things look even more promising.

Libra 24 September - 23 October... Mercury in your sign appreciates fairness and open communications. It can also emphasize your skills as a listener. Equally, it can give you a push to believe in any new ideas you are developing. Today these are supported by the planet of innovation. Just know that even if these are not gaining immediate recognition, you're paving the way for future progress.

Scorpio 24 October - 22 November... You might find yourself wanting to push back against the usual routines of the new week and scanning faraway places or holiday packages. If you are fortunate to be enjoying some free time, you may even do something completely spontaneous. Yet if a restless spirit does show up, you can also use this to do some deep thinking or meaningful research, Scorpio.

Sagittarius 23 November - 21 December... The Sun is pushing you not so much to seize the spotlight, but to appreciate your worldly value. Intriguingly, his link to the driven Mars, in the part of your chart to do with shared resources or long-term finances, could prime up action around where you live. And if this is something you want to change or use as a base for a small business, do push forward.

Capricorn 22 December - 20 January... A fun friend, but who you spark off, may have featured over the weekend. Whatever pursuits you enjoyed together, you can enter the week keen to repeat the moment. However, this expansive vibe can be one you turn to your personal advantage. Don't hold back from thinking outside the box either, Capricorn, but do embrace the spirit of competition.

Aquarius 21 January - 19 February... Your modern ruler is encouraging you to showcase your more progressive and creative ideas, and its link today to the communicator and planet of precision, Mercury, gives you a fine chance to express them with added charisma and sparkle. Yet that doesn't mean that they are airy, for there is every chance you can also align this energy with business-like nous.

Pisces 20 February - 20 March... Sometimes planets align where we need to pause and reflect; at other times, we need to put our foot to the floor and go for it with all our might. With the sky's two energy maestros of the combining in such a supportive way now, if there is something or some you feel excited about, don't hold back from pushing forward at pace. Whatever happens, it will be a buzz.
