Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
Your upbeat attitude today has a lot to do with some great financial opportunities and shopping finds. A fantastic deal will give you some extra cash but it’s not just about the money. Activities like reading, writing, gardening and listening to music help you connect with your inner self.
Taurus (Apr 21 – May 21)
Plans are suddenly changed and this will take you by surprise. It will also open up an opportunity to quietly address a family or property issue. Working on a major project will be enjoyable despite those issues that crop up that mean spending more on this than originally intended.
Gemini (May 22 – June 21)
Your day may not go as you had imagined it would. You could find yourself unexpectedly caught up in chores or responsibilities that are usually left for someone else to do. With so much happening around you, your help will be appreciated by others.
Cancer (June 22 – July 23)
At the start of the day it might seem as if desire and duty aren’t blending harmoniously. With duty taking the lead, there will be complaints from a disappointed friend or partner. Yet you can’t let this chance to showcase your creative skills pass by.
Leo (July 24 – Aug 23)
Due to some recent behind the scenes discussions, you have gained an edge over your business rivals. Romance will take a creative turn. Share your thoughts and your partner will be delighted by your imaginative suggestions.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sept 23)
You have a knack for sensing the thoughts and feelings of those around you. This can help you steer things in your favour. A sudden burst of creativity will inspire you to come up with some great travel ideas. Take advantage of this chance to escape for a while or reconnect with a few old friends.
Libra (Sept 24 – Oct 23)
Steer clear of risks and keep to familiar business routines. Those who made commitments earlier in the week may not keep to their promises. This could disrupt plans and joint arrangements. If some tasks feel overwhelming, focus on the smaller ones instead.
Scorpio (Oct 24 – Nov 22)
Friendship and social activities will be enjoyable and beneficial. A good friend will have news they’re keen to share with you but remember not to take their comments seriously. Even so you will have a lot to think about. Any time spent chatting and gossiping will be time well spent.
Sagittarius (Nov 23 – Dec 21)
You find yourself drawn to physical activities such as sports, walking and spending time in nature. This might lead to some tension within the family as someone wants you at home. Positive news regarding a career project will call for a small celebration.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20)
Recently you have enjoyed some exciting romantic developments and today will be no different. Your partner has a delightful surprise in store for you. Be sure to show your gratitude with kind words and loving gestures. It will feel good to know you are valued by the people who mean the most to you.
Aquarius (Jan 21 – Feb 19)
Achieving true mastery of a skill can take months or even years. Even so, if this is something you want to do, the hard work will pay off. You may have the opportunity to win a grant or scholarship. Despite some tough competition, you will make incredible strides of progress.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
You’re suddenly keen to embark on a new adventure even if someone close objects to your ideas. You would never class yourself as being a natural risk-taker but it would be fun to enjoy a change when life has started to feel too settled and stifling.
