24 July - 23 August » The warming rays of your Zodiac sign embrace the Moon today and can see you extend the hand of generosity and kindness to those you care for. But equally, you might find yourself exchanging views and news on areas of interest. Your curiosity is certainly piqued at this time, in a potentially enlightening way.

24 August - 23 September » Relationship matters may still be consuming a lot of your thinking, but today whatever has been said, or whatever your initial response, you might prefer to step back and just let all this settle in your thinking. Later this week a defining moment is going to provide clarity, even if you do decide to take the initiative.

24 October - 22 November » You might find yourself looking at a domestic matter in a new way. Altering your routines or even altering the layout of your furnishings, may figure. Someone can also give you a slice of advice or information which could prove informative. The outcome might lead to smoother organisation, as well as an easier existence.

22 December - 20 January » With Mercury close to returning to the position from which its retrograde of late January first began, but also in opposition with Jupiter, a financial problem which you have been grappling with may be closer to resolution than it might seem. If your caution can run to pessimism, now you can genuinely feel brighter.

20 February - 20 March » If you find general personal paperwork, office organisation and details a little bit of a bore, today's influences challenge you not to jump to any quick conclusions, or fob off any demands for information. With your financial stars looking brighter, it is going to be important to support this by being utterly realistic.

21 March - 20 April » If you’re about to engage in a new experience, a feeling of being out of your depth could keep you on your toes.

If you can deal with any temporary feelings of uncertainty, it will help you to make better headway.

21 April - 21 May » You may feel like retreating and hiding out in your own private world. Yet, even here you’re not immune from the ups and downs of life, as you could find yourself mulling over edgy situations or past injustices. If you need a respite from all of this, involve yourself with anything you’re passionate about and create a distraction.

22 May - 21 June » When it comes to your social life and involvement with friends or groups, stay alert to any politics bubbling away. Today’s stars can cause awkward feelings to surface which could be a starting point for tensions. Spending time with those who are more straightforward and upbeat might though have the opposite effect.

22 June - 23 July » Diverging opinions could lead to a disagreement, but then if you are prepared to challenge these openly a lively debate can swing things your way.

24 July - 23 August » Although today's Neptune influence hints that persuasion is best achieved by subtle manoeuvring rather than direct confrontation, you can still be a force to be reckoned with. The Mars Uranus link could make you rather determined, but you’ll find that the people around you respond best - if they’re gently cajoled.

24 August - 23 September » If you need to make a financial commitment or some other agreement, try not to be in too much of a hurry.

For now, it may be better to bide your time.

24 September - 23 October » Your tolerance levels may be tested, which could put a strain on a key relationship. Although you’ll have the courage of your convictions, ask yourself whether things are really as black-and-white as you might imagine. Standing back from an awkward situation can be useful as a fresh perspective might provide valuable insights.
