Aries

The clarity of Mercury is working hard in your chart, helping you make swift, clear choices when you need to. So this is a day to face challenges head on, and have confidence you can cope. If you’re in love, focus on fun and flirtation, to make a bond feel brand new. If you’re single, you sense something special about a new neighbour…
Taurus

Your ability to work hard, but also smart, is increasing today – and deserves to be used. So instead of holding back, do consider sharing those ideas you have, to boost productivity or to use personalities better. A moon of family insight could bring back a niggling sense of someone slipping away – it’s not too late to stop this if you act now.
Gemini

Your knack for seeing creative solutions and finding the fun in even mundane tasks, is such a valuable thing, both in your personal and professional life. But it’s important to narrow down choices, don’t try to do everything for everyone. An “S”-facing goal that’s been delayed or stopped several times can get moving again by the end of the day.
Cancer

More honesty about the home you have, compared to the one you want, may feel a daunting prospect but your chart suggests this is the only way forward. By facing your fears, you can neutralise them, and start setting some practical future goals. Where money is concerned, trust in your own judgement may wobble – but deep down it is sound.
Leo

A conversation you keep re-running in your mind, perhaps with regret, can get a chance to be repeated. And this time, with Mercury’s guidance, you can say everything you want, and need, to. Then deal well with the response. The shyest person in your circle may have something so daring they want to say to you – do prepare the ground.
Virgo

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIRGO – You are always so hot on cash calculations and estimates – and now, as the manager planet takes charge, this skill can grow even stronger. A role in the money field, even unpaid at first, can tap into skills and help them grow. But it’s also important to respect the people whose shoes you walk in. Passion is mysterious and full of sexy potential.
Libra

Mercury joins your star space, where Mars is already making a mark – and you should feel the boost to your inner confidence. A time of doubting decisions can end, but you also manage to express difficult feelings in simple, generous words that encourage a team to pull together again. In love, as your heart opens, an old friend can move in.

Sagittarius

A time of feeling puzzled by friends’ or family’s actions or words can end when you set up just one conversation, but make sure it is 100% honest. If you give instructions today, do doublecheck they are clear, and taking the right direction. Mercury helps you identify potential sticking points and deal with them. Love is ready to learn – are you?
Capricorn

Denying what or who you truly want may make for a peaceful short-term – but can lay down long-term issues going forward. So this is your moment to examine all your motives, not just the ones you judge “acceptable”. Your communication chart has a bias towards Saturn silence, but you can overcome this with thoughtful actions instead.
Aquarius

Shortcuts in life and love are so tempting – but deep down you do know they are not right for you. Resisting is easier now as you have support from the fastest-learning and quickest-thinking of all the planets. A togetherness moon can help you forgive and forget, but do remember this must be 100% sincere, not just a surface pretence.
Pisces

Now you can get to grips with wayward thoughts and feelings that have been ambushing you when you least expect it. You may assume you don’t know where love is going, when in fact you are pushing too hard in one direction. Give this some thought, and maybe ease off a little. At work, keep your inner voice calm, confident, and kind.
