Aries

Progress demands effort, and time – and it’s easier today to see the best direction to target these. So any sense that your work is wasted can fade. Speaking with love always in your heart means you may need to say tough things, but you will do it in a tender way. If you’re single, spot passion potential in a long thread of amusing comments.
Taurus

Prizes line up for all kinds of pairs, from couples to business partnerships – even if you’ve never seen yourself as one half of something, you can start to see the benefits. Mercury helps you to start up, or wind down, initiatives with all the right words to leave everyone feeling positive. Lucky locations can be by riverbanks.
Gemini

Family time can be fun time when you set some concerns aside, to focus first on what you can change, instead of what you feel you should. This can ease any sense of expectations overload. As for love, with Venus so hot on security, you can pick and choose key dates. But the ideal partner may be last to put themselves forward.
Cancer

You’re the kind of friend people line up to have – because you are loyal, but also real, and you speak from the heart. But do remember to check back in, to make sure everyone understands what you are really saying. Passion has a mysterious air all day, try to accept this and just let yourself enjoy it – without pushing to know everything.
Leo

Your star skill is Mercury conviction plus persuasion powers – so you can talk your way into so many special situations. But it’s your deep moon wisdom and trust that is most in demand. You can see all sides of a situation, and select the best way through. Turn this power on yourself when you’re faced with a sudden, surprising, love choice.
Virgo

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VIRGO – A personal moon means there’s so much that’s hard to pin down about you – and this intrigues both strangers and familiar faces. So it’s a good time to start talking about a dream you’ve been holding deep inside, start springing surprises on those closest to you. Mars fires up self-esteem, is it time to let yourself take charge again?
Libra

Your chart is shifting from sensing what’s right to putting it into practice. Close to home, this can mean separating yourself from one established group – and reaching out to a different one. But this time you can stay in control. In love, drawing a line and starting again in a future plan can give everyone who matters a chance to get involved.
Scorpio

Progress demands effort, and time – and it’s easier today to see the best direction to target these. So any sense that your work is wasted can fade. Speaking with love always in your heart means you may need to say tough things, but you will do it in a tender way. If you’re single, spot passion potential in a long thread of amusing comments.
Sagittarius

A moon of emotional ambition adds lightness to love, and laughter can be the glue that connects strangers together, or keeps partners in tune. So do say yes to any comedy conversations or events. Yes, Uranus may push a team plan in a totally unexpected direction. But you can keep up – even stay one step ahead. Luck wears neon yellow.
Capricorn

Your Saturn nature is steady but sensitive – the moon magnifies this even more today. So you tune in to all kinds of feelings and fears – and can create a role for yourself genuinely helping other people on their journeys. But later in the day, it’s time to be emotionally and physically selfish, and put personal pleasure top of your priorities list.
Aquarius

Taking charge in terms of change need not mean big plans – but today you are ready to tackle tricky facts and figures and this time, really understand them. New freedom can await you, when you do. Your love chart suggests someone now in the Friends Zone can shift into the Fantasy Sector, and your key clue can be an old-fashioned name.
Pisces

As Jupiter’s golden glow lights your surprises sector, your name can appear more than once on a prize list – or a selection of names that are selected for a creative project. Yes, there can be more fun, and fulfilment, in store for you in the future – and later tonight, you can get some great cash news, too. A family U-turn is approaching fast.
