21 March - 20 April » There are major changes unfolding for us all, and today's link between the planet of idealism and the planet of evolution brings this into focus. Yet just as Neptune and Pluto align, so your ruler, Mars, and the Moon forge a testing opposition. This could see some frustration creep in, but particularly if you are ready for big changes and someone close is simply not.

21 April - 21 May » That side of you that likes to work through things in a way that gets lasting results could be challenged. Tension is in the air, whether this comes from you or someone you interact with. Anticipate that you and they might not see things the same way. Then, before you even engage with the other person, you're already accepting that this is possible, but don't need to react.

22 May - 21 June » Mars in your sign has given you a tremendous amount of drive, and you may have felt physically recharged by his presence. Even if you're not usually outspoken or active, the chances are you have been more so of late. Just know that those you encounter today may not be going at the same speed. Rather like driving up behind an ambling driver, this can be exasperating.

22 June - 23 July » The Moon is your guide planet, and so you feel her interactions with other planets keenly. Today, she goes face-to-face with the strident Mars but also squares off with Venus. This can see an issue which has been lingering in the depths burst into the open. What can rile is that, despite your best efforts to be diplomatic and understanding, someone can still be dismissive.

24 July - 23 August » If you are travelling anywhere, it may be best to take the scenic option. If you are using busy routes or transport links, just anticipate that people may seem less tolerant. That said, you may decide to treat yourself or someone close to something cool. Your generosity is a big part of your nature, and over the next year that will show up more clearly, as it does today.

24 August - 23 September » Venus in your sign is very much in the celestial mix today, with both Mars and the Moon. This combination could see your pragmatism and appreciation for keeping things steady tested by someone's overbearing or demanding attitude, which could rankle. However, it may be better not to react, but instead to starve this situation of attention and turn the other cheek.

24 September - 23 October » A conversation could be brusque. Generally, you prefer, even if superficially, for things to be kept on an even keel and pleasant. Unfortunately, someone you encounter may not share your mantra, and issues may arise that surprise or amaze. These are likely to be old strands, but the angles being fired at you could seem so unrelated to reality that they're hard to hear or relate to.

24 October - 22 November » Your traditional ruler, Mars, can see you blunt and, at times, impatient. This can see you tell it how it is, and whilst others can find your rasping, to-the-point take testing, you don't easily compromise. Today, you may have a choice of delivering an unvarnished truth or using diplomatic tact. If you choose the peaceful route, try to ignore someone's imperfections.

23 November - 21 December » The Moon in your sign shows up your need to be in touch with your personal needs. Mars in opposition suggests you might not hold back from telling someone that this is the priority. Be sure of who you apply this to and how. At work in particular, a line manager or colleague could take issue with your single-mindedness. Be careful about who you choose to take on.

22 December - 20 January » It can be one of those days when things get prickly. Three planets interact, but each has its own celestial agenda. A side of you that may want a bit more personal space and freedom is challenged by another that needs to take care of obligations. This can create resentment. And the Moon in the tenderest of sectors sees things get into your psyche more easily.

21 January - 19 February » You often spot trends in advance, be it in music, fashion, tech, food or design. As Pluto in your sign aligns with the mysterious but inspirational Neptune, this talent can show up handsomely, and you can see how you have been ahead of the curve. However, at a more human level, you could have a tussle with a friend about how you spend your free time today.

20 February - 20 March » Pluto, the planet of change and transformation, is rooted in the most protected part of your chart and links to your modern ruler, Neptune, in the earthiest of areas. This is a call to action to dig deep into your reservoir of past experiences and use them in a new and imaginative way that creates practical results. If anyone can turn base metal into something precious, it's you.
