Aries
March 21 to April 20
With your ruler clashing with Black Moon Lilith today, the spikier side of your nature may surface. This may see you debating with someone you disagree with or feeling drawn towards someone challenging. If you enjoy the thrill of the chase, this can call out to you too. If someone seems or acts as being unavailable, you can find yourself wanting to pursue them all the more!

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Chiron in Taurus is stirring questions about what you really value, including yourself. It can also make you more mindful of your approach to finances, what you spend but also what you attract. However, today, a brief but powerful aspect could see you more in the mood to live in the moment and indulge your senses. Now then, what do you fancy?

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Your thinking has been given more spark of late, as the feisty Mars has powered through your sign. If you are a Twin happy to debate for the fun of it, you may have seen yourself gleefully discussing all sorts of subjects. Mind, things could get more intense today, and you may feel frustrated if you can’t get your point across or if it’s not understood.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Your equilibrium can be knocked off balance today, when some deeper unexpected energies come up. This may be an old hurt or anger which is triggered, perhaps by someone’s pointed comment. It’s not usually your style to react, more to withdraw, but if you feel someone is deliberately trying to trigger you, step up and take them on with your own direct take.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
It’s not that every Leo requires complete attention, but a healthy dash of respect sure does help. Recently, you have pitched in and shown a talent for working in group situations. Yet with Black Moon Lilith reminding you of your uniqueness, it’s a timely reminder to not forgo showcasing your star quality. However, someone may feel sidelined by this.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
The push to get ahead can be strong, but today’s clash between Mars and Black Moon Lilith suggests someone may question your motives or methods. While you usually prefer to let your actions do the talking, there are times when you need to stand up for yourself. Equally, if you’re feeling frustrated with an authority figure, do choose your words carefully

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Relationships can show some tension. If someone has very different beliefs or opinions, you might wonder whether it’s worth debating at all. Sometimes it can be, but sometimes agreeing to disagree is the wiser option. Today can also awaken a desire to broaden your horizons, encouraging you to explore fresh ideas without feeling the need to abandon your own.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
A situation involving money, shared resources or an emotional attachment could become more intense today. You tend to sense what lies beneath the surface, and today’s influences can confirm that your instincts have been spot on. Even so, look to gather all the facts before making your next move; it will put you in a stronger position.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Black Moon Lilith in your sign reminds you that you don’t need anyone’s approval to be yourself. Even so, today’s opposition from Mars could see someone challenge your views or question your intentions. While standing your ground has its place, listening carefully may reveal that there is more common ground than first appears. A little flexibility is not selling out.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
There may be more going on behind the scenes than first meets the eye. If something or someone has been irritating you, today’s energies could bring matters to light. Rather than bottling everything up, look for a way to say how you feel. Clearing the air, tackling an overdue task, or simply taking some time out can help restore a sense of control.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Your social life or involvement with a group could become livelier; however, if differing opinions emerge, resist the temptation to play devil’s advocate simply for the sake of it. On the plus side, today’s influences can inspire bold creative ideas and encourage you to connect with people who appreciate your unique take and originality. There is only one you, Aquarius!

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
You may feel caught between your personal ambitions and others’ expectations. If someone questions your choices, don’t let self-doubt creep in. You know better than most that everyone has their own path to follow. Stay true to yours, Pisces, while remaining open to advice that genuinely supports your long-term aims rather than stifling you or holding you back.
