Aries
March 21 to April 20
As Venus continues to retrace her steps, you may experience a case of déjà vu. Think back to what happened in mid-September. Venus clashed with Pluto, which may have amped up the intensity around a personal relationship or finances. Today, with the Moon combining with Pluto, a repeat is possible, with jealousy or possessiveness rearing their heads.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
If you feel that, however much you are prepared to flex into a situation and do all you can to maintain harmony, someone turns this generosity into their opportunity to gloat, dominate or play games, rightly you could feel enough is enough. If so, maintain your dignity and refuse to get embroiled in this. Instead, look to gracefully pass on by, Taurus. It will prove powerful.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
You might find yourself conflicted today. One part of you may want to spin out to do your own thing, another feels the pull of obligation. The thing is, Gemini, if you are not enjoying a situation or commitment, don’t try to mask it. It will be better for all if you stand up for how you really feel. It may get a little tense, but things can get a lot clearer in the process.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
You may find yourself thinking carefully about one involvement. Is this the first time? If not, you may need to consider whether this is becoming a pattern. If so, what is the underlying dynamic? If you keep being drawn into the web of something which is draining or dispiriting you, it may be time to find a way to the door marked exit. Don’t feel you have no choice.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Something may be getting under your skin today – or is it someone, Leo? This can be particularly so if they want to control the narrative or have the upper hand. You don’t need to prove a point by matching their intensity. The Moon’s more fluid links suggest there is another way through this. Step back and choose your moment rather than reacting in the heat of it.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
You could be looking rather closely at the practical side of a situation today. Have you been overly accommodating of someone else’s needs, while yours have quietly slipped down the list? If so, don’t dismiss the inner voice telling you something needs to change. You don’t have to sort everything out immediately, but you can stop pretending it isn’t bothering you.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
You may have reached the point where keeping the peace is stealing your peace of mind. As your ruler retrogrades in Scorpio, financial dynamics are once more under scrutiny and today could expose a previous irritation which you thought you’d dealt with. Don’t be tempted to smooth it over simply because confrontation feels uncomfortable.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Today sees a cosmic Groundhog Day. Emotions run on the raw side, and the Moon’s contact with Pluto, clashing with Venus in Scorpio as they did a month ago, could see you find yourself wondering why a particular person or situation still has such a hold over you. Rather than judging yourself for this, recognise that the pattern is deep, but it is theirs, not yours.

Sagittarius
You may be tempted to make a dramatic break from something today. This is actually a very natural response of yours when you feel hemmed in. But before you slam the door, give yourself a moment to pause. The positive connection between the Moon, Neptune and Uranus suggests that a fresh perspective can arrive when you stop wrestling with the issue.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Today there could be a tension between what you feel responsible for and what you actually take responsibility for. Someone may assume you’ll pick up the pieces, as you so often do, but that doesn’t mean you have to. If something has quietly become one-sided, acknowledge it. You can be dependable without making yourself indispensable to everyone.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
With the Moon and Pluto meeting in your sign, emotions may have rather more force than usual, even if you don’t immediately show it. Something could hit a nerve, particularly where romance, money or control are concerned. Yet the Moon’s helpful links to Uranus and Neptune offer you an escape route from getting mired in the intensity.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Your intuition could be particularly sharp but be careful not to fill in every blank with your imagination. Someone else’s mood doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with you. Give yourself permission to observe rather than absorb. A little emotional distance could help you see what is really happening, rather than what you fear might be happening.
