Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
Someone who knows you well will express concerns for your strong emotions and quick temper. Keeping control over these feelings will be crucial for your professional life. You might not be enjoying a difficult assignment but you will rise to the occasion. Some people seem to get away with doing nothing. Let go of any grudges.
Taurus (Apr 21 – May 21)
Do your best to stay calm at home or in a situation that’s going on behind the scenes. Give yourself time to take in everything that is going on. It would be easy to make mistakes by picking up the wrong end of the stick. Think things through before making a final decision.
Gemini (May 22 – June 21)
Happy news you have been expecting will be received early-on. Enjoy ongoing positivity as the day wears on. Just don’t let everyday chores pile up. When you do notice your home or workplace could do with a tidy don’t worry. You will swiftly bring back some order to your space.
Cancer (June 22 – July 23)
It might feel at first as if this will be another typical day with nothing particularly remarkable expected. That’s why news of a bonus, cash prize win, mortgage or loan will suddenly change your feelings about this day. You can look forward to a more enjoyable time ahead.
Leo (July 24 – Aug 23)
Even if you have responsibilities you can’t get out of, this won’t stop you from daydreaming about a fun holiday in the future. While indulging in these happy thoughts you won’t have any problem staying on top of everyday commitments.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sept 23)
Spending quality time with your family will lead to unexpected surprises. An older relative will offer you both gifts and valuable life lessons. The success of your day hinges on your ability to find common ground. Approach all situations with the intention of focusing on harmony and understanding.
Libra (Sept 24 – Oct 23)
Whatever you have taken on now, you are focused, realistic and ready to put in the effort. Ignoring distractions will be surprisingly easy when all you really want is to get your life in order. Once everything is out of the way, you will have a better idea of your next plans for the future.
Scorpio (Oct 24 – Nov 22)
The mood around you early on isn’t exactly cheerful. There is tension in the air when a family related issue needs resolving. If you refuse to get involved, plans will be made without your input. An older relative’s interference could lead to some confusion. A youngster having a meltdown will not help.
Sagittarius (Nov 23 – Dec 21)
Practice the art of listening to what others say. It won’t be easy communicating with a colleague or neighbour who finds it hard to express their ideas. Even a family member is struggling to find the right words. Being able to listen and find a middle ground is essential in all interactions.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20)
Make it your aim to spread a little happiness. Don’t hesitate to go all out in your intention to do something special for someone you care about. You won’t mind it if you have to spend a lot of time at home as this gives you a chance to focus on family as well as nurture your mental well-being.
Aquarius (Jan 21 – Feb 19)
Steer clear of financial matters if you sense this is going to cause an argument. It isn’t a good time to start new projects, invest in strange-sounding schemes or embark on new business ventures. Instead, look to tie-up loose-ends. Finish what you start.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
Whether you’re working solo or quietly in the background, you will get a lot done. Consider ways to increase your income and look further into these ideas over the days ahead. If someone tries to drag you into an ongoing dispute or conflict, refuse to get involved.
