April 20-May 20

Even if you don’t drink coffee Mercury whizzing through your sign will give you a caffeinated buzz. Your mind and mouth will be firing on all cylinders and although you usually hate rushing it’s other people who will have trouble keeping up with you! Make sure you have a structured approach especially with work and don't be slapdash.

Gemini

May 21-June 21

You usually love doing many things at once while holding a conversation. Over the next few weeks though ruler Mercury is in your sector of imagination and mysticism. This is your comic cue to slow down, meditate and give your overactive mind a break. Get in touch with your spirituality and let silence foster inner peace.

Cancer

June 22-July 22

You’ll be inclined to do something over the top, when it’s buying an expensive handbag or giving yourself a fringe. Rein in any impulses as you’ll more than likely regret it later. Instead of doing something wild and daring focus all of that pent up energy on discovering new exercise apps, chat rooms or doing something for a charity.

Leo

July 23-August 22

There’s a difference between having a bit of fun by playing a trick on someone and hurting their feelings. Today a prank could go horribly wrong if you don’t properly gage the mood of your target. Someone who usually loves a joke may be having a rough day or simply isn’t in the mood. Read the room!

Virgo

August 23-September 22

Reconsider your methods. The tried and true is a safe and comfy path, especially for an earth sign, but amid these crazy times perhaps you should try a different approach. We all have to adjust to the 'new normal' which means a big overhaul when it comes to your regime. Go with the flow and look at what works.

Libra

September 23-October 22

Two heads, pairs of hands and, for that matter, bank accounts are better than one. If you’re struggling to make a purchase or reach a financial milestone you might like to think about finding investors, getting a loan or pooling your resources, especially now that quick thinking Mercury is in your sector of joint resources.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 22

Face it. You have pretty high expectations. And why shouldn't you? You're loyal, loving and would take a bullet for those you love. Are people letting you down or are you asking too much? Not everyone has your intensity and depth of character and while some may disappoint you'll also be pleasantly surprised by those who make the grade.

Sagittarius

November 23-December 20

As the sign associated with philosophy and open-mindedness you’re usually the one dishing out pearls of wisdom. Today though practical and seemingly simplistic advice could come from the most unlikely source. Listen to everyone whether it's neighbours, grand-folk or children. Even innocent eavesdropping could trigger an epiphany which could soften or change your stance on a particular issue.

Capricorn

December 21-January 19

Intellectual, witty Mercury has entered your area associated with joint resources but also sexuality and intimacy, so you’re bound to place more emphasis on this part of your life.You'll want to get to know your partner or love interest on a much different level and will find scintillating conversation and humour to be the perfect aphrodisiac.

Aquarius

January 20-February 18

A power struggle could give rise to heated words and hasty developments but only if you let reactions get the better of you. This could be a challenge given you're under the spell of feisty Mars. If you feel yourself becoming defensive at an offhand remark step back and breathe deep. Don’t let anyone get under your skin.

Pisces

February 19-March 20

If you’re feeling lethargic or lack-lustre it’s time to get up and move, even if it has to be in the confines of our own home. With the Sun and Mercury shining brightly in your sector of intellect and everyday machination you’ll have the motivation, energy and stamina to, ahem, go the extra mile.
