Aries

March 21-April 19

★★

Making headway on your sweeping personal plans slows as domestic activity clouds your vision. Attend to urgent matters first.

Taurus

April 20-May 20

★★★

Forget about finding answers today. Sit (somewhat uncomfortably) with the questions and you might find a lost piece of yourself.

Gemini

May 21-June 20

★★

Keep a close eye on your personal details, including your credit card number. Your generosity may be taken advantage of.

Cancer

June 21-July 22

★★

Just when you were feeling more confident and capable, doubt creeps in via work or another public forum.

Leo

July 23-August 22

★★★

Thinking is not how you escape from a soggy paper bag. You just instinctively rip and clamber your way out.

Virgo

August 23-September 22

★★

Your friends have no shortage of enthusiasm, but you already know their actions will be fruitless. Kind of awkward.

Libra

September 23-October 22

★★★

It looks like you’ll be pursuing that leadership role without the support of your sidekick. Not your usual style.

Scorpio

October 23-November 21

★★★

You know where you’re heading but how you get there remains elusive. Breathe hot frustrated sighs to lift your vision.

Sagittarius

November 22-December 21

★★★

A tricky entanglement demands action but there doesn’t seem to be an obvious solution. Work towards the best-case scenario.

Capricorn

December 22-January 19

★★

You thought you knew where you stood with a partner but they are sending mixed signals, and now you aren’t sure.

Aquarius

January 20-February 18

★★★

Scale back on your plans today. You aren’t fully present, and that’s OK. Your feelings also deserve time and attention.

Pisces

February 19-March 20

★★★

There’s a hot rush of inspiration but an inability to direct it towards a tangible outcome. Catch what you can.

The flavour of the day:

Emotional impulses lead to confusion.

Your birthday message:

The tide carries you to your spiritual home.

Key: ★★ Challenging ★★★ Encouraging ★★★★ Excellent
