Aries 21 March - 20 April... Although there is one of astrology's most vibrant influences in play today, between the practical Mercury in the earthy Taurus and the optimistic Jupiter in the caring Cancer, as the Moon in your sign passes over the cool Saturn, this combination, though brief, can bring a more serious dimension. This can though, be a good collective for business matters, however.

Taurus 21 April - 21 May... Past memories can have quite an impact on you currently, Taurus. However, if you're consciously working on processing these, that can be a good thing, helping to liberate you from whatever is at the root of them. These experiences can also help guide your course in a realistic way, so with today's exuberant Mercury/Jupiter link, you'll unlikely over promise.

Gemini 22 May - 21 June... You may find yourself reflecting on your long-term plans, connections, and friendships today. Although you are often drawn to sparkling personalities, it is the deeper strands within them that capture your attention today. And those who have shrewd insights, are quietly supportive, have instinctive skills, and, most of all, are rock-solid and reliable.

Cancer 22 June - 23 July... The exuberant Jupiter links brilliantly to the quick-witted Mercury. This is a perfect aspect to learn new skills, or to network or socialise with friends. However, as your ruler, the Moon also aligns with the serious Saturn, you might want to use this vibrant vibe at work as much as socially. This can help you add imagination and flair, as well as tangible gains.

Leo 24 July - 23 August... If you've been thinking a lot recently about pursuing a new interest, taking a weekend away, or going on a holiday, your daily demands can close in if you have many practical demands. Being a fire sign, you can be adventurous and certainly need to feel that life has a spark. Although progress is possible at work, feeling stimulated by changing challenges calls out now.

Virgo 24 August - 23 September... Variety is the spice of life, so it's said, but getting it isn't always easy. Yet with your brilliant ruler Mercury expansive and supported by a warm and friendly Jupiter, sharing plans with friends today can spark enthusiasm to do something off the cuff, and live in the moment. Equally, stimulation can come from signing up for a course or learning a new skill.

Libra 24 September - 23 October... Over the last five weeks or so, Mars has been assisting you around relationships, giving you more confidence to assert your boundaries and know when to say no. With the Moon moving through this area today, that part of you that prefers harmony to friction can be illuminated. If you are managing work ties, stand your ground but use wit to sweeten the message.

Scorpio 24 October - 22 November... Your interactions with others today can see you show in sparking form, by hearing others' points of view, or enjoying discussing a mutual hobby or interest, or planning something with a close friend or partner. Between now and the end of June, you may decide to get a new mode of transport, learn a language, or travel somewhere exotic. Whichever, it can be uplifting.

Sagittarius 23 November - 21 December... Your ruler can make it harder for you to grapple with details, as Jupiter's exuberance gives you so much pleasure in surveying life's broad canvas. However, today you can have the happy knack of grappling with the minutiae of something, whilst being mindful of the big picture and its potential. Thus, you can make meaningful and lasting progress.

Capricorn 22 December - 20 January... A playful, social, and potentially flirty link between the chatty Mercury and luck-maker Jupiter can make this an excellent day to link with friends or one special person and enjoy some fun. It's just that with the Moon gliding over your ruler, the sensible Saturn, you may just get a nudge not to forget to attend to one important chore or demand before you head out.

Aquarius 21 January - 19 February... You're going to experience one of the most exciting last ten days of May for many a Moon. A time when your natural but unique charisma can sparkle beautifully. However, from now until then, the planets are asking you to focus most on the inner workings of your world, your emotions, your home, and your family situation, yet your words still carry extra heft today.

Pisces 20 February - 20 March... Your phone could ping with an invitation, or it could be you who instigates a meet-up as the planets are enabling you to have a really bubbly time. Yet you may just be unsure whether to accept, especially if your focus has been on working on keeping everyday finances in order. Whilst understandable, some bright escapism could, though, be worth its weight in gold.
