Aries

March 21 to April 20

Your imagination is your superpower right now. But even so, it’s wise to pair it with a practical approach. While your dreams and ideas may soar, touching base with the facts will keep things grounded. A plan could veer into “too good to be true” territory if you don’t rein it in. So, focus on the essentials before adding those dazzling extras, and you’ll be ready for fresh challenges.

Taurus

April 21 to May 21

Be careful what you discuss, as a piece of news or secret shared can twist and change as it goes from person to person. It may be unrecognisable by the time it finishes the rounds. Mercury’s awkward tie with confusing Neptune suggests it’s best not to talk about anything crucial, as the chance of a misunderstanding and of the facts being skewed is so much higher than usual.

Gemini

May 22 to June 21

You’ll be so pleased if a dream is about to come true. And yet with the Sun in Capricorn aligning with dutiful Saturn in Pisces, it helps to be realistic about your chances. Aim high but keep your feet on the ground. Need advice? Check your sources and don’t take anything for granted. Neptune’s influence means you could seize on a piece of information that turns out to be pure fantasy.

Cancer

June 22 to July 23

Your plans for a new project or travel adventure might hit some unexpected snags. That exciting journey or creative vision could spiral into confusion as details shift. Stay flexible and double-check facts, schedules and your own assumptions. While the stars suggest some chaos, they also encourage you to embrace spontaneity. Sometimes detours can lead to the best destinations.

Leo

July 24 to August 23

Mesmerised by someone? Today’s ethereal blend of energies hints that it’s best not to be in too much of a hurry to get to know them, even if they seem irresistible. Very soon you’ll realise they have flaws, as everyone does. The same applies if you’re drawn in by a get-rich-quick scheme. Give it a wide berth. Fairly soon, you’ll discover even better ways to increase your income.

Virgo

August 24 to September 23

Mercury’s angle with Neptune means you need to be careful when it comes to family decisions. Miscommunication or faulty information could lead to costly misunderstandings, so take a moment to fact-check and confirm before moving forward. While you might be tempted to go with the flow, your sharp eye for detail is needed now, especially if exciting plans are ongoing.

Libra

September 24 to October 23

Plans may veer off course – despite your best efforts. You may be eager to get everything just right, but a misunderstanding could throw a spanner in the works. Don’t worry about it. With your natural diplomacy, you’ll quickly find a way to turn things around. Adaptability can be a real asset now, and what seems like a hiccup could lead to a surprising and positive twist.

Scorpio

October 24 to November 22

You could be drawn to something or someone that seems perfect. But with a nebulous influence in play, it’s wise to pause before diving in. If an offer, opportunity or connection feels too good to be true, trust your intuition as it just might be. Give yourself a day or two to reassess the situation. You never know Scorpio, there might be something even better just around the corner.

Sagittarius

November 23 to December 21

Although matters seem to be moving in a promising direction, not every experience will be right for you. Be careful over the next day or so, as Mercury’s sharp tie with Neptune could cause you to be dazzled by something. This might not be a problem with small matters, but if you’re set to spend money on your home, then check every angle and make sure you aren’t caught out.

Capricorn

December 22 to January 21

You might feel caught in a tug-of-war between intuition and logic – especially if a key decision looms, but confusion may cloud the path forward. Should you trust your gut or stick to the facts? The sky advises that you don’t rush it. Take a step back, breathe and let the dust settle. Both intuition and logic have their place, and given a little time, they’ll align to give you the response you need.

Aquarius

January 22 to February 19

Something could get lost in translation. So, if you need to communicate about a matter of importance, make sure you get the facts right. A confusing blend of energies might make a mess of everything unless you keep your wits about you. Double check that other people get it too. This way, there’s less likelihood of things turning out the opposite of how they were meant to

Pisces

February 20 to March 20

You may think that what you’re saying makes perfect sense, but it might not. There are confusing cross-currents around, which means others could take your words the wrong way. Need to make a decision related to your job or business? Don’t let first appearances fool you. Wait a day or so before you go ahead. You’ll find it easier to go deep into this matter and make the right choice.
