21 March - 20 April » One of astrology's most positive planetary angles occurs today between the enthusiastic Jupiter, and the planet of conversation, Mercury. This could see a lively chat or connection light up your new week, especially with someone who shares your passion. With the Moon also aligning with the powerful Pluto, this could hold more significance than it first seems.

21 April - 21 May » Something concerning your work or a local group you are in could feel more emotional today. If you feel someone is not playing fair, it could stir a powerful response, but will you be as in control of your emotions as usual? If you can use the detachment of Mercury in Libra and the generosity of Jupiter in Leo, you can step back and cut this person some slack.

22 May - 21 June » When things people say affect you, you can often deflect this, be it with a quick one-liner or a witty response. Yet something you feel very strongly about, and it may be a point of principle, can be amplified as the Moon reaches towards the potent Pluto. That said, the other side of your nature, which is so articulate, is also activated, as someone will likely find.

22 June - 23 July » Something could get into your mind today, and it may be hard to shake it. Obsession? That may be a bit strong; perhaps more like compelling. It could be a person, an issue, or even a perceptive financial idea. And yet, if you do find this whirring around your mind, don't ignore it, for there is a reason this situation is calling out for your undivided attention.

24 July - 23 August » This could be a day for a fated encounter, a powerful connection, or just some very amusing but uplifting dialogue. The thing is, Leo, it can be whatever you want, because two incredibly powerful and potentially brilliant influences will need your input to really make them come to life. Yes, astrology can bless us, but only if we take the action to work with its prompting.

24 August - 23 September » Sometimes we can have flashes of inspiration that seem to come out of the ether, but they are not always completely fresh ideas; more often, something that has been locked deep in our subconscious comes up again, which we connect with and see a way to take forward. In other words, a process, and today, something could gain some lovely traction like this.

24 September - 23 October » People are drawn to you for many reasons: your charm, brilliance, style, and great taste amongst them, whilst some would mention your listening skills, others your diplomacy. And all of these qualities can sparkle brightly today. Indeed all will do so even more from the middle of the week when the Sun bursts into your sign with the Autumnal Equinox. Exciting!

24 October - 22 November » The last couple of years have seen your modern ruler Pluto, the planet of transformation, ask you some serious questions about some very personal parts of your life, where you live, who with and how. Your emotional roots and family dynamics have also come into focus. Expect all of these strands to be amplified later today, but do see how far you have come, Scorpio.

23 November - 21 December » Your ruler Jupiter gives you a wonderful platform in the year ahead to express your ideas with enthusiasm and passion. Your love of travel, interesting topics and philosophy are being boosted. Today, this potential is magnified by Mercury's quick wits, suggesting your talent for connecting with others will shine even brighter. Know your words can land well, Archer.

22 December - 20 January » Your commercial acumen is highlighted today. That's not to say these are not there when you need them, just that an opportunity could arise that calls out to you, and particularly this evening, when your appreciation of solid foundations can meld with the chance to explore something more speculative. Either way, your business nous can work well with this.

21 January - 19 February » The Moon arrives with you later, Aquarius, and each month as she does, she merges with the powerful Pluto. This, in turn, is making you increasingly aware of your own emotional needs and outlook, but in a more vivid way. This can stir deep feelings, but just as easily you could have a brilliant conversation with someone who has an exciting and broad world view.

20 February - 20 March » A memory can be stirred today. It may be quite evocative and even come up completely randomly whilst working or watching TV. Is there something vaguely unresolved that is bubbling up from the depths? More routinely, your traditional ruler Jupiter's link to the savvy Mercury suggests you could make a shrewd move by marshalling your finances carefully.
