Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Home is where the heart is, as the old saying goes. Yet despite your appreciation of familiar comforts, and the improvements you have been making, it’s your connection to the wider world that may be altering most of all. Whether you are reluctant to seize the limelight or perfectly happy in its gaze, openness to fresh approaches can advance your goals most of all.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Mars has been blazing a trail in your sign for a month. You’ve another ten days of its feisty presence, urging you to be decisive and power forward with confidence. Your passion for writing, music or the arts are all showcased. However, today, his clash with both the Moon and Venus could see you encounter someone cruising at an altogether slower speed.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Jupiter can reinforce your self-worth over the next year and help your bank balance too. The trick will be to balance this against your appreciation for the good things in life and your desire to have them. Yet over the last week, someone’s opinion may have been impacting you in an unhelpful way. Look to block out any negative thoughts and keep on being you.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
This is your time, Leo, with the Sun travelling hand in hand with the expansive Jupiter. Whether you’re looking to make a personal breakthrough or simply enjoy life more fully, the next three weeks hold genuine promise. Even so, today’s lunar influence suggests someone close could have needs that require your attention too, so do be mindful of this.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
You prefer to have well-thought-out plans before making your moves, but not every opportunity comes as we expect. Behind the scenes, important developments are gathering pace, even if this isn’t obvious. If you’ve been carrying an old disappointment or regret, this is a good time to let it go. Making room within yourself can open the door to new possibilities.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Friendships, shared ambitions and new connections all receive an encouraging boost. Someone you meet, or hear from, could inspire you to think much bigger about your future. Yet today’s celestial line-up hints that not everyone might share your enthusiasm. Don’t seek approval; trust your judgement. The people who matter will recognise the value of your ideas.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Professional matters and long-term ambitions can gather welcome momentum during August, so look to showcase your abilities. But recognition may come unexpectedly. Yet today, a clash can occur between your personal obligations and career aspirations. Resist feeling that you must choose one over the other. Instead, look for a workable compromise, Scorpio.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Your adventurous spirit is stirred by the prospect of new experiences, whether through travel, study or broadening your outlook in some other way, and this can see you at your expansive best. Still, today’s energies hint that someone else’s caution may frustrate you. If so, rather than push harder, look to excite them too. Your optimism is likely to prove infectious.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Some of the biggest changes now taking shape are the ones happening beneath the surface. Financial arrangements, shared commitments or emotional bonds can all become stronger if you share how, you really feel. While today’s influences could lead to an awkward conversation, don’t shy away from it. A frank discussion can actually ease any burden.

Relationships of any type are under the cosmic spotlight, and the weeks ahead can bring encouraging developments through cooperation and mutual understanding. Someone may surprise you by being more supportive than expected. Mind you, today’s energies suggest that mixed signals could briefly create confusion but believe that you can soon unravel them.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Small improvements to your daily routines could have a surprisingly positive effect over the weeks ahead. Whether it’s your work, wellbeing or simply how you organise your time, progress will soon become evident. Today itself may tempt you to compare yourself with someone else. Try not to do this and do know that what people project is not always the rosy reality.
