While you may want to strengthen family ties and focus on domestic issues, an equally strong urge could find you craving adventure.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
A casual chat could uncover something surprisingly meaningful but it’s also wise to avoid reading too much into every sentence. The Sun’s awkward angle to Pluto suggests that open conversation can pave the way for true healing and resolution to any issues that might show up today. There’s a possibility for personal growth and transformation if you’re ready for it.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
It’s time to recognise your brilliance and true value as the Sun’s edgy angle to Pluto suggests certain relationships might challenge your priorities, finances or even your sense of self-worth. Even so, someone’s strong opinion doesn’t have to affect your decisions or outlook especially where money is concerned. Be open to ideas, but stick to your principles too, Leo.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
The Sun in your sign hints you’re naturally keen to improve yourself in all ways, but with Pluto in the mix there’s no need to exhaust yourself in the process. Work or health routines may need a few tweaks and adjustments so that you don’t burn yourself out. There’s no need to control every detail, and it’s okay to let things slide a little. You don’t have to be perfect.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
The Sun in a private zone is a call to tie up loose ends and to spend more time reflecting on life and whatever may be holding you back from succeeding at your plans. Today though you’ll notice how passionate you feel about your creative and romantic life. Use your ability to step back before diving into a relationship or project that can take more than it gives, Libra.

October 24 to November 22
You may feel even more intense than usual as a potent aspect suggests that family issues take up a lot of time and energy, especially if a key issue needs to be resolved. You may have to reschedule social events if things become too hectic or pressing. At the same time, a friend may have wise advice they can share that puts your situation in a more helpful perspective.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Your ambitions for the future may be strong, but any communications associated with your job, professional life or with career decisions could be fairly complex. There may be so much more involved than you think, with layers and levels that need careful consideration. You can go far if you make the right choice, but don’t jump into anything without researching it first.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
The benefits of travel and study could seem appealing and something you’d like to look into further. Even so, the presence of Pluto in your money zone can make you very aware of how you spend your money. And you’ll want a good return on your investment. You can’t always put a price on adventure or experience though. Sometimes you just have to take the risk.

January 22 to February 19
You’re in the middle of a major personal reinvention which is going to last for some time. The Sun in an intense zone can bring your attention to deeper matters that need some teasing out, so you can begin to resolve them. This is not a quick process, but today you’ll get a sense of what is possible and how much freer you can be when you let go of any buried feelings.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Hidden worries or ingrained emotional reactions could be affecting your outlook and decisions more than you realise. As Pluto continues its journey through a private zone you could have stronger reactions to others than is usual, because these patterns are being brought out into the open. If you’re tempted to say something a bit sharp, step back and reconsider.
