Aries
March 21 to April 20
It’s quite the day in the heavens, and one that could lead to a frustrating start to the week. The best way to handle this is to focus on essentials. If you try to take on too much, and if things don’t go at the pace you hope, frustration can boil over. Look to narrow your attentions Aries, for the determination you can show, targeted in a specific focused way, can see you progress.

April 21 to May 21
Every so often the planets can align in a way which is more testing. Today is one of them. With Mars urging you to find your voice but in a tight right angle to both the Moon and Saturn, an old issue could suddenly come up, but so could any resentment about it, that may be lingering. If you can, share quietly but firmly how you feel. It will ward off frustration.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
As the Moon merges with Saturn, you can view your prospects and friendships, more seriously. With the impulsive vibe of Mars in the mix, this can give you the desire to do as you wish, especially around your finances. However, if you need to work closely with others, different approaches can show up more strongly, and this can be true in a group situation too.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Your protective instincts are being toughened up by feisty Mars’s journey through your sign, Cancer. And whilst it is sensible to be aware of where challenges can come, today they may be around work, or worldly demands. As much as you prefer to avoid direct conflict, someone very demanding, perhaps even blunt, could push you to firm up your boundaries.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Two distinct influences compete for dominance, and strict Saturn is involved in both. The link between Jupiter in your sign and Saturn, is excellent if you have a well thought through plan, that can draw from your enthusiasm but also discipline. However, with Mars forging a more challenging link, it you feel unmotivated, look to do something more creative Leo.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Practicality is one of your greatest strengths. Today this can serve you well. Emotional reactions from others may seem stronger than usual, especially around shared responsibilities or finances. Rather than trying to solve everything at once, focus on what you can realistically influence. This is probably not the best of days to mix business with pleasure, though.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Mars is occupying a dominate role in your situation and can encourage quick and bold moves. His square with steady Saturn though suggests balancing honesty with diplomacy. Jupiter’s supportive influence on the day can see your appreciation for developing mutual respect and listening carefully, can though strengthen an important partnership or friendship.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Your determination is often incredible, but today’s demands may feel heavier than usual. Whether at work or in daily routines, look to pace yourself rather than relying on willpower. And it’s one of those times, when everyday responsibilities and obligations may also feel testing. However, if you can focus on one key strand, and apply yourself, you can progress.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Jupiter, your ruling planet, continues to prime up a fine platform for you to share your ideas, inspire, teach or train. Although details can bore you, grappling with these can help support your big idea, all the better. Mars and Saturn, however, conjure up a more testing challenge. These energies may impact more on a personal relationship, especially over shared finances.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Home or family responsibilities could require more attention than expected as the Moon passes over your ruler, the planet of discipline, Saturn. While your instinct could be to shoulder all the burdens yourself, look to share how someone can do their bit too. If you are involved in any kind of property transaction, the portents are brighter, with realistic hopes.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Conversations may carry greater significance today, and differing opinions could show up more readily. Mars can see you focus on the details but how you share your ideas matters most of all. Fortunately, the upbeat Jupiter suggests that as long as you don’t rush, you will be able to do this particularly well today. Someone can also appreciate your sincerity.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Being cannier with your resources can call out to you today, as the Moon and Saturn combine in Aries. However, temptation can still knock in the guise of Mars, which may see you wanting to snaffle a must have item, but these two contrasting energies can create a conflict. Still, your ruler Jupiter can help you to cut through and find a balance.
