Aries 21 March - 20 April... Venus, the planet of relating, returns home to Libra today, and the next four weeks can be a time of greater harmony for all sorts of connections. If a personal relationship has been strained, it will get easier to let go of the niggles and focus on the harmony. Single and seeking? You can draw more attention and possibilities your way now, Aries, as you radiate warmth.

Taurus 21 April - 21 May... If your job has an element of personal service or creativity, your enjoyment of this is enriched from now. If you are a maker or crafter, these too can see you shine. You can add extra finesse to what you produce, and the textures or fabrics you choose can be stylish too. Any love of animals can also be amped up, whether with an existing pet or a new addition to your home.

Gemini 22 May - 21 June... You can be a sociable person, but you are entering a particularly sparkling time. Your natural quick wit, added to a healthy slice of charm, can see you at the top of people's invitation lists. Your sense of fun, often mischievous, takes on an added dimension with your easy-going approach, making you comfortable and attractive to be around. Your love life can start to sparkle too.

Cancer 22 June - 23 July... Your appreciation of your home and family life is very much threaded into your very being. However, you can find yourself minded to grab some paint charts or paper swatches and look to add a stylish freshness to your abode. Playing host could appeal, or then again, you may appreciate most, being with people you are very familiar and comfortable with, friends or family.

Leo 24 July - 23 August... In the weeks ahead gracious Venus encourages you to express yourself with warmth and tact to get your message across. Whether in local connections, or online, conversations can flow more easily. If you have something important to negotiate or promote, the coming weeks can help you find exactly the right words and use subtle persuasion.

Virgo 24 August - 23 September... Venus leaves your sign today, Virgo, but think of the creative things you have been developing in recent weeks. There is an opportunity to convert your flair to something more tangible, which gives you a genuine chance to boost your income. If you enjoy growing your own vegetables or cooking from scratch, this can appeal, but in contrast so can a slice of luxury.

Libra 24 September - 23 October... With lovely Venus returning to your sign, you can feel more at ease with yourself and ready to embrace the next chapter with confidence. Others are likely to notice your charm and easy-going manner, making this an excellent time for romance, socialising and refreshing your look. Don't be surprised if more than one person is drawn to you in the weeks ahead.

Scorpio 24 October - 22 November... You may enjoy a little more peace and privacy over the weeks ahead. Gentle Venus glides into a reflective area, encouraging you to step back and take the time to pause. Creative pursuits, quiet reflection or simply enjoying your own company can prove surprisingly rewarding. You can also start to feel nostalgic for someone or people from your distant past.

Sagittarius 23 November - 21 December... Your social world can become busier as charming Venus highlights friendships, clubs and shared interests. New connections may open doors, while existing ones become warmer and more supportive. This is the perfect time to celebrate the things you have in common with people, rather than what sets you apart. One friend can become more important.

Capricorn 22 December - 20 January... Your steady application and consistency often mark you out, Capricorn. However, as the image-conscious Venus ascends to the most visible part of your chart, you might start to think more about how people perceive you and perhaps bolster your wardrobe. However, this isn't about power dressing or strutting your stuff as much as adding a subtle extra dimension to the impact you make.

Aquarius 21 January - 19 February... Life can seem full of fresh possibilities as Venus from today for four weeks encourages you to broaden your horizons. Travel, study or exploring different cultures could prove especially enjoyable, while conversations with people from varied backgrounds may inspire you in unexpected ways. If you have your own channel, or want to publish anything, your reach can increase.

Pisces 20 February - 20 March... If you have been enjoying a rapport with someone new recently, as Venus dives deep into the most committed and sensual part of your chart, the attraction can grow more meaningful or passionate. Equally, shared finances, long-term investments or close business collaborations can all benefit from your shrewdness. Yet a lack of a real connection can also show up.
