April 20-May 20

Experiencing a degree of information overload is likely today. You tend to have a natural curiosity about people, places and things which can be sated with eclectic company, stimulating conversation and learning from others. Siblings or childhood friends will be good company as you have a shared history which you can delve into and chuckle about. You may find it difficult to concentrate on one specific task so don’t take on too much.

Gemini

May 21-June 21

The way you deal with people is likely to be quite provocative today. Being more assertive and opinionated could come across as aggressive. You may even be inclined to needle someone for a response, whether it’s positive or negative, so long as you get a reaction. Just acknowledge that everyone’s idea of fun isn’t the same as yours. In other words, know when to stop and don’t cross the line.

Cancer

June 22-July 22

Before Mercury, the planet of communication, leaves your sign tomorrow, it’s important for you to say something you’ve been harbouring for a while now. Your needs usually play second fiddle to everyone else’s so it’s a good time to let them be known. If you’ve quietly resented the way a friend has treated you or let a hurtful comment slide you should bring it up and wipe the slate clean.

Leo

July 23-August 22

Let your instincts override logic. All of the clues may point towards a direction or person but your gut is telling you otherwise. Don’t be persuaded by other people’s arguments or hearsay and trust your intuition. Normally you don’t mind being the centre of attention but you’ll feel more satisfied and comfortable working behind the scenes. You have faith in your abilities and don’t need a pat on the shoulder as proof.

Virgo

August 23-September 22

An optimistic mindset and enthusiastic attitude will have a wonderful knock-on effect. You’ll feel very sociable today, so spreading the sunshine will be effortless. There are several places in which you can showcase your affable attitude but you’ll most enjoy the company of close friends. You’re in the mood for a good laugh and some hilarious antics are sure to form indelible memories and the basis of entertaining stories for years to come!

Libra

September 23-October 22

As the social butterfly of the zodiac you are in your element when in a room full of people. One of the many great things about you and perhaps the secret to your success is that you share the wealth often acting as a conduit. Today you’ll enjoy working the room trading contacts, obtaining information as well as giving others a helping hand knowing full well there’s plenty of room at the top.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 22

Garnering support and help amongst colleagues and friends will be easy which is just as well, because today a wonderful opportunity could emerge. However, you need the insight to recognise it as such and the courage to act quickly, and with confidence. As mentioned you’ll have all of the encouragement you need to succeed so don’t second guess yourself. After all, if you snooze, you lose - simply go for it.

Sagittarius

November 23-December 20

Business matters that may require joint signatures or at least mutual agreements are best handled today. You need to be on the same page if you wish to expand and it’s important you seize the moment. If a meeting isn’t scheduled make sure you squeeze one in. If a more intimate topic with a partner has been looming it too is best tackled today while the atmosphere is ripe for discussion.

Capricorn

December 21-January 19

Inner strength and faith in your judgment comes naturally to you. Today, however, you weigh up the pros and cons whether it’s big or small stuff. You’ll also take a much longer time to reach a decision which may drive you, and others, a bit mad. Ignore pressure. These choices aren’t time sensitive or even important, and you deserve to take your time perusing a menu or signing on the dotted line.

Aquarius

January 20-February 18

It’s likely that you’ve been more sociable than usual but today solitude and some well-earned down time look very appealing. Cut your priorities right back and take a moment, or the whole day, to unwind, reflect on your thoughts and plan for the future. It will be time well spent. If you are in the mood for company it will be in a more intimate setting with people who are understanding and low-maintenance.

Pisces

February 19-March 20

Artistic endeavours have been percolating over the past three weeks. Yes, you’ve given them second thoughts, memorised what your path of initiative for the next day, and even made a mental note to keep a diary nearby to pen your epiphanies. What have you actually done though? If the answer is a fat zero make your creative brainchildren a priority. Bump it and like an inspiring dream it will be forgotten by the morning.
