Aries 21 March - 20 April... Your ruler Mars has given you a real fillip since powering into the flamboyant Leo, late last month. This has enabled you to showcase your appetite for life, and enjoyment of doing things on the spur of the moment, but with plenty of pizzazz thrown in. Today, you can find yourself in scintillating form as you punch through ideas with refreshing honesty.

Taurus 21 April - 21 May... Your ruler Venus is travelling through the deep and complex Scorpio and is joined now by the communicator Mercury. Whether it is a business proposal you need to write, or reaching out to someone you are attracted to, this combination can be powerfully helpful. Involved? This is an excellent opportunity to jointly talk through where things are between you.

Gemini 22 May - 21 June... The heavens are giving you fabulous support the next few days, Gemini. Your physical vitality can be high, and the desire to do something with it strong as well. This could make you creative, perhaps impulsive, but definitely full of spark. With your ruler aligning with the peaceful Venus, even practical conversations can go well - if you can concentrate on the details.

Cancer 22 June - 23 July... You may not see yourself as someone who easily acts on impulse, but today, you just might. This may see you snaffle a great deal online, perhaps for something you've wanted for some while. Yet then again, with Venus and Mercury aligning delightfully, getting together with a friend to enjoy a night out, or perhaps even enjoying a date night, may call out to you.

Leo 24 July - 23 August... How are you finding Mars in your sign? It's a very potent energy, and you may have noticed an increase in vitality but also self-assurance over the last week. Many famous people have this planet in their birth charts, and you could find yourself in charismatic top form. Equally, with a sweet link between Mercury and Venus, a family get-together can call out.

Virgo 24 August - 23 September... A past work connection could suddenly come up. Will this be a case of back to the future? Possibly. Then again, you may see something or someone in a different light, which could be revealing. Conversations over the next few days hold rich promise when you can balance your eye for sharp observation with a silky, diplomatic delivery. Your words land!

Libra 24 September - 23 October... Serendipity could strike today, but not necessarily as you imagine. That doesn't mean a slice of financial fortune won't come your way, but equally it could show up by appreciating some of the small earthly pleasures you might enjoy. Then again, someone may be generous indeed or by way of a thoughtful gesture or gift. Whichever, enjoy!

Scorpio 24 October - 22 November... Scorpio people often have a powerful presence, even without speaking, which can prove magnetic. Don't be surprised if someone beats a path to your door today. This aura is amped up by Mercury and Venus aligning perfectly, and this could give you a nudge to showcase your creative talents or push forward with a business idea that has a stylish dimension.

Sagittarius 23 November - 21 December... You may be an Archer who thinks the past is past, and it's only future and present involvements that truly count. However, with the edgy Uranus bringing an unpredictable vibe to your relationships, things might not quite unfold as you imagine. And it could be someone you used to work with or a college friend who makes contact, as much as an old flame.

Capricorn 22 December - 20 January... You have a reputation for sticking with the tried and trusted, but is that entirely true? Many Capricorns are very savvy about business and resources, but your shrewdness knows that even safe shares can open the door to emerging possibilities. Someone could give you a great tip today that you may heed, or will you just enjoy a friendly meetup?

Aquarius 21 January - 19 February... You can be progressive and practical. People often talk about your unique take, but being the communicator, you are, you know how you deliver your ideas is as important as the gem itself. Today, you can be quick to connect, but if you do get to speak to someone important to you, chances are you will be pitch-perfect in the actual conversation.

Pisces 20 February - 20 March... You may have found yourself restless in recent days. That doesn't mean you haven't turned this to your advantage, be it moving the furniture around, decluttering or getting more physically active - you've likely been no slouch. Today, however, you may crave a little escapism, a chance to see a show, book a show, or plan a trip away to look forward to.
