Aries 21 March - 20 April... The Sun and communicator Mercury have forged an alliance known as a Cazimi in the practical Taurus, that's helping you to decipher and plan anything to do with resources or everyday finances with an extra crispness and acumen. Indeed, with the planet of opportunity, Jupiter, still in touch with both, this can also be a time when positive family news can arrive.

Taurus 21 April - 21 May... Your natural appreciation for continuity has been challenged in recent years by the restless Uranus, which has pushed you to be more experimental. And even if not everything has worked out, you've probably enjoyed experimenting. Today is another one that gives you an opportunity to showcase your unique talents and do so with added confidence.

Gemini 22 May - 21 June... Your guide planet Mercury's closeness to the Sun in a thoughtful part of your situation, which could see you have some powerful inner realisations or decipher key events from your past. But their link together to the expansive Jupiter suggests a hunch around a business idea could prove to be lucky - if you trust your instincts and act boldly and decisively, Gemini.

Cancer 22 June - 23 July... You can enjoy lots of bright and breezy chats today, particularly within your group, considering an idea that you can all work on together. Then again, someone could give you valuable input on a future hope. With everyone pitching in like this, it can cheer you to know that your circle is supportive. Past connections that disappointed can start to fade away.

Leo 24 July - 23 August... If you are thinking about or talking about retraining, learning new skills, or applying for another job, your mind can be super agile, but also focused on what the practical benefits may be. Mind with Jupiter, the planet much to do with faith, in an instinctive part of your situation, whatever the logic tells you, do be open to listening to your hunches too, Leo.

Virgo 24 August - 23 September... Whilst you may find yourself especially restless today, you can also find yourself super curious, and that's not a bad combination. It's just that often your preference has traditionally been for regular structures and routines in your everyday world, but currently exploring fresh horizons and new people just seems so much more stimulating - how good is that!

Libra 24 September - 23 October... Being one of the three air zodiac signs, you have a natural appreciation of communication and thinking carefully about situations. Some may feel that you overanalyse, but today you are going to have a fabulous opportunity to get beneath the surface. Excellent if you're researching, seeking extra value, or even enjoying watching a TV programme on forensics.

Scorpio 24 October - 22 November... You can be very candid in your observations of people, but what others can really appreciate about you today is the time you take to listen carefully to what they have to say. With your listening skills so sharp, this can help you to perceptively tune into their situation, even if you don't necessarily make a comment. Planning a joint travel jaunt? Things can shape up nicely.

Sagittarius 23 November - 21 December... If you're wanting to get to grip on your personal paperwork or catch up on the domestic chores, today can see you determined to be precise and productive in all you do. Much as your nature can find such demands a little dull, you can just take on these tasks with a great deal of application, and once you have completed all you set out to do, feel quietly content.

Capricorn 22 December - 20 January... Encounters today can be warm, friendly, and amusing. Your dry wit is one of your great qualities and rarely gets talked about in the astrology archetypes of your sign, but it should be. Also, if there is someone that you're getting to know that you really like, things can just flow very nicely between you. Even if this is not outright flirty, it can still be rather lovely.

Aquarius 21 January - 19 February... If you have a home office, as many people do these days, today is an excellent opportunity to think about whether it's working as effectively as it might. If it's squeezed in a corner and has to compete with other domestic demands. It might be worth considering if moving things around would create a little bit more of a quiet cocoon and the chance to concentrate better.

Pisces 20 February - 20 March... There is little doubt that you can be one of the most intuitive of the zodiac signs, but today your mind can be as sharp as a pin, able to dextrously whirl different concepts around with ease, but also amuse people with your sharp observations and playfulness. With the weekend racing up, and a bubbly New Moon, this can see you keen to arrange fun social possibilities.
