Aries

March 21-April 19

★★★

You’re feeling vulnerable so your attention turns to questions of responsibility and who is contributing what to an emotive situation.

Taurus

April 20-May 20

★★★

You are strongly driven by the need for connection and understanding today. This affects casual interactions as much as partnerships.

Gemini

May 21-June 20

★★★

You are deeply connected to your work and personal responsibilities, which can bring meaning and purpose if not taken to extremes.

Cancer

June 21-July 22

★★★★

Look for a suitable outlet for all your vigour and vim. Your children or a romantic partner will appreciate your attention.

Leo

July 23-August 22

★★★

A quiet, self-reflective day best spent at home with those who know you best. Give yourself space for introspection.

Virgo

August 23-September 22

★★★

Slightly out of your comfort zone, you’ll rely heavily on your intuition today to help pull together group ideas.

Libra

September 23-October 22

★★★

You are reminded that a key reason for your ongoing emotional involvement with a work matter is financial self-interest.

Scorpio

October 23-November 21

★★★★

Emotional power is dripping off you today, and wise ones will bend to your will. This is but momentary magic.

Sagittarius

November 22-December 21

★★★

A strange and potentially useful day as unseen helpers offer gentle direction and uncanny synchronicities. Send gratitude to your guides.

Capricorn

December 22-January 19

★★★

Swim with a school of fish rather than hunting like an apex carnivore or being a lone wolf. Belonging is beautiful.

Aquarius

January 20-February 18

★★★

You have ambitions and you care about your reputation — that much will be obvious. Less obvious is your emotional labour.

Pisces

February 19-March 20

★★★★

You recognise that your creativity arises not just from within, but from beyond, and has greater meaning than your personal expression.

The flavour of the day:

Moody but fruitful.

Your birthday message:

Deep roots support higher branches.

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