Aries

If there’s something you want to get off your chest, saying it straight may be harder than usual. It brings up new territory between you and someone close, so don’t force it. Stick to cheerful banter or a spirited debate with friends instead. Better still, get the endorphins pumping with a new group exercise class. The people you meet could be the best part. Pick lottery numbers with a Leo.

Taurus

Tonight favours a date night at home. Experiment with your partner’s favourite meal, giving it a healthy twist and earning extra points by remembering what they do and don’t eat. Set the mood and it’ll be easier to connect with each other, starting a whole new chapter. If a project has ground to a halt, leave it for now. It’ll come back to life when the time is right, probably in a form you hadn’t expected.

Gemini

Feeling out of sorts? Pick up a pen and see what comes out. Writing or drawing reconnects you with your creative side, but don’t turn it into another job. Do it purely for pleasure. The New Moon brings a fresh start at home, whether you’re tackling housework or bringing some order to the chaos of everyday life. Planning on growing your family? Now’s the time to start having serious conversations.

Cancer

If differences have created distance between you and a relative, today is a good day to extend an olive branch. Don’t expect an immediate reply or for everything to be forgotten overnight, but it’s a start. Get away this weekend if you can. Even a day trip will do. Stuck for somewhere to go? A neighbour has a great suggestion. A seashell is a lucky sign.

Leo

If you’ve been waiting for news on a job or project, today’s New Moon gets things moving. You may spend more money than planned getting yourself ready for an interview or speaking event, but consider it an investment. Just don’t go overboard. If your lover can’t celebrate the good news with you, make your own fun. Head to your local or earmark somewhere new to explore this weekend.

Virgo

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIRGO – With the New Moon in your sign, it’s a great day for a fresh start of all kinds. Rewrite your to-do list and you’ll see what really matters. If earning more is a priority, take the first step towards a new income stream or learn a skill that could boost your prospects at work. Walk tall and hold your head high. There’s no chance you’ll go unnoticed. Lavender brings good luck.

Libra

Something clicks into place today that could help you realise what, or who, you’re ready to let go of. Don’t bottle up any emotions that follow. Scream into a pillow if you have to! With fast-moving Mercury in your sign, the right words won’t be far behind. A young person’s change of direction sparks a new idea in you, too. Seeing roses is a reminder that you’re always supported.

Scorpio

If there’s something you want to get off your chest, saying it straight may be harder than usual. It brings up new territory between you and someone close, so don’t force it. Stick to cheerful banter or a spirited debate with friends instead. Better still, get the endorphins pumping with a new group exercise class. The people you meet could be the best part. Pick lottery numbers with a Leo.

Sagittarius

A new work opportunity could land in your lap, or you can put the feelers out for new opportunities. Either way, any leads today are worth following up, especially from a friend or colleague. In your love life, there’s uncharted territory to explore. You can still have your freedom without feeling tied down. An arrow is a sign you’re heading in the right direction.

Capricorn

Today’s a great day to venture outside your comfort zone. If doing it alone feels too daunting, rope someone else in. A new and unusual experience has a way of bringing you closer. A course or retraining opportunity could capture your imagination. Don’t dismiss it because you’re short on time. Be choosier about who and what gets yours. Whose company leaves you inspired, and whose leaves you deflated?

Aquarius

Something important could take an unexpected turn. It may not be where you thought things were heading but give this new direction a chance. If you’ve been biting your tongue with someone, Mercury, planet of connections, helps you speak up today. Clear the air rather than let resentment build. Money you’re owed, whether it’s a bonus, refund or overdue payment, could finally arrive. There’s luck in the colour blue.

Pisces

Today’s New Moon marks a turning point in a relationship. Something new could start to feel more serious, while something that hasn’t felt right for a while may finally run its course. Even if it’s goodbye, you’re one step closer to the kind of closeness you really want. A conversation about money or property could move faster than you think. Keep your bottom line firmly in mind.
