Aries 21 March - 20 April... The Moon continues in the practical Capricorn, but it could be that you encounter someone who is much more adhered to how things have usually been, just at a time when Mars in Aries, your ruler, is pushing you to lead your life very much on your own terms. And that could create a tension point between what you really want to do and what they expect of you.

Taurus 21 April - 21 May... One of the things that the free-spirited Uranus in your sign has encouraged you to do over recent years is to really appreciate what makes you unique. If you find yourself suddenly unsure today of which path to take, it's important not to overthink it and just trust that what feels right will work out for you. And today, that could relate to a key financial decision.

Gemini 22 May - 21 June... You're going to become more discriminating about who you're friends with over the next couple of years, Gemini. Indeed, today could illuminate a situation in which you become much more conscious of someone who tends to be controlling, just when you are in the mood to break free of such people. Yet there needn't be a big scene, just quiet withdrawal.

Cancer 22 June - 23 July... You may have been a lot more assertive recently, be it in your worldly dealings and professionally, due to the bold Mars working through a dominant zone. However, even if it is important to be businesslike, being brusque in a personal relationship today may create tension. The big picture here is your desire to get things done, but diplomacy is also key.

Leo 24 July - 23 August... You could find yourself at a little bit of a crossroads. If you really enjoy your current job or life role, the chances are you can complete all your tasks efficiently and in an upbeat manner. But if you are finding things are running on the dull side, and you're feeling restless, it may be much harder to concentrate, and your mind can wander to other possibilities.

Virgo 24 August - 23 September... Your ability to scrutinize situations with great astuteness is one of your key gifts. And today, as Saturn, the planet of structure, forges an excellent and constructive angle to Mercury, your ruler, your concentration levels can be really strong. But not only can you decipher what's important you can also bring a slice of wit to things, too, the perfect mix, Virgo!

Libra 24 September - 23 October... The Moon and Jupiter go face to face today, and it's one of those oppositions that can have an upside, and you may find yourself being generous to someone within your family, or being encouraged by someone you're close to, around your hopes. But as much as your worldly prospects are boosted, you're gently reminded to stay in touch with your personal needs.

Scorpio 24 October - 22 November... The Moon in a convivial part of your situation is linking well with the Sun in your relationship sector. Therefore, conversations could flow beautifully today - as long as you don't rush things or try too hard. The reason I say this is that the Moon's brief square with the pugnacious Mars could make you a little bit impatient to power through all you want to achieve.

Sagittarius 23 November - 21 December... Your guide planet Jupiter continues in a very positive location for your long-term finances, shared resources, or entrepreneurial ideas right through to the end of June. But today, its link to the Moon could see you make a spontaneous decision to treat yourself to something really rather nice, and why not? A slice of indulgence, however modest, can lift you.

Capricorn 22 December - 20 January... Your astrological archetype suggests you're someone who runs on the cautious side, but the Moon in Capricorn today, linked to the bubbly Jupiter and the radiant Sun, gives you a fabulous opportunity to showcase just how charismatic you can be. Interested in someone? This combination can give you more confidence when speaking with them.

Aquarius 21 January - 19 February... If you find yourself wanting to spin out today, even if it's just for an hour or so, and just gather your thoughts, then why not? As much as you can be very social and one of the friendliest of people, you do have another part of your nature that appreciates space and time to reflect. This is a passing phase, and soon enough, you'll feel more outgoing.

Pisces 20 February - 20 March... A conversation earlier this week may have shed light on an old issue you're still digesting. With the North Node in Pisces continuing in your zodiac sign right through to the end of July, trusting your instincts on situations is really very important, but particularly if you're tuning into your needs and not getting too caught up in others' expectations of you.
