Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Your abode really can be a place of refuge today. Some new soft furnishings can tempt too. The Moon in your sector of escapism and gentle healing could also see you in the mood to book a therapeutic treatment, a spa day, or to luxuriate later in the day in a deep, hot bath, with all the candles and personal care goodies to make it particularly soothing and nurturing.
Taurus (April 21 – May 21)
A sense of flow can just seem to smooth your path. Things that can sometimes snag likely will not, and even the usual awkward things that can snare can just go your way. The lovely thing about today’s celestial influences is that you may be in the mood to share the vibe with friends or a loved one, and you may be fortunate to receive a really thoughtful gift or text.
Gemini (May 22 – June 21)
You can be one of the most effervescent of signs. But today, you may be happier cocooning yourself away with your private thoughts and ruminating on recent events. That does not mean to say you will not necessarily be busy. Your mind can still be active, perhaps processing sensitive issues or, in a more practical sense, conducting much-needed research.
Cancer (June 22 – July 23)
Cancerian people can often be among the most effective leaders, as you have an innate gift for managing both people and practical matters astutely. So if you are collaborating with others today, you may find yourself being in demand because others can be keen for your important perspective and perhaps even guidance. Mind, there can be some fun in the mix too.
Leo (July 24 – August 23)
The Part of Fortune is a very influential point in any person’s unique birth chart. And today, it is in a beautiful embrace with Venus, the planet of charm, in the part of your ‘scope to do with quick communication. This connection could be just as much in your professional or worldly interactions as in a social or romantic context, but it could prove helpful.
Virgo (August 24 – September 23)
There is a really bubbly set of influences impacting your zodiac sign at the moment, Virgo, all of which are encouraging you to socialise, plan exciting adventures, holidays, or big nights out. And it can be just the tonic you need, as you are often so very conscientious. Give yourself permission for some escapism; it can recharge you for the daily grind.
Libra (September 24 – October 23)
If you work in a business role, either for an organisation or in your own enterprise, your acumen can be particularly good today when a balance of shrewdness and positivity could see you make some very astute decisions. You may also be alert to developing trends, yet as much as this can be financially beneficial, it may also show up in fashion and music too.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
The Moon, in the most social part of your chart, links to the upbeat Jupiter, in the most enthusiastic area. Perfect if you choose to get together with friends. However, your relationship sector continues to sparkle, and this bubbly vibe can give you extra confidence if you meet someone new. You can be cautious in these situations; today, though, you may more than likely just go with it.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Your ruling planet, Jupiter, is the traditional guide of Pisces, where his role is largely about faith and emotional wisdom. Currently domiciled in the homely Cancer, he is helping you to think about long-term finances, property, and family hopes. Yet with your practical sector supported by the Sun and sharp-eyed Mercury, your grasp of details is heightened too.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 21)
Every now and again, the planets align to give us a wonderful platform to sparkle. We do not have to embrace it, of course, and particularly if we are concentrating on important worldly or practical strands. However, if you do get some space today to connect with friends, spend quality time with a partner or family members, and enjoy some jolly exchanges, then do.
Aquarius (January 22 – February 19)
Your home or family time can prove to be productive. Whether it is catching up on neglected domestic chores, a DIY project that has stalled, or decluttering and freeing up more space, it can be very therapeutic. You may want to turn up the music, or you may want total peace and quiet, but either way, if you put your mind to it, you can get a lot done and feel good for it.
Pisces (February 20 – March 20)
The Moon in your sign angles towards your traditional ruler Jupiter, in a really harmonious way. He is in Cancer, another Water sign, and he can give you a sense of fun or an appreciation for the arts and creativity. And with the Sun and Mercury joining in the chattiest part of your Solar chart, there is likely a lot for you to enthusiastically share or discuss.
