What the stars say for each sign
Aries (March 21 to April 20)
The Moon in Scorpio brings a chance to look out for hidden clues to your finances and to any emotional problems hiding in plain sight. A mystery could unravel, or a heartfelt conversation might deepen a developing connection. Dealing with awkward issues? A link to chatty Mercury suggests that approaching them with warmth and confidence can be very healing.
Taurus (April 21 to May 21)
The Moon-Mercury angle hints that relationships can be a source of insight and conversations that get to the heart of any domestic issues. If there has been a lingering issue, or you want to make your side of the matter known, it will be easy to be honest in a pleasantly open way. You’ll find this approach melts the hearts of those you’re keen to reach an agreement with.
Gemini (May 22 to June 21)
The Scorpio Moon can bring practical insights about how to revise your daily schedule and routines, as doing so could free up more time and energy. Deep reflection on a perplexing issue could bring answers that change everything. Your words might also be dynamic and passionate, so if you need to be especially persuasive, you’ll find you’re extremely effective.
Cancer (June 22 to July 23)
An intense lunar influence awakens your playful side and urges you to pursue your hobbies and romantic plans with passion and enthusiasm. Keen to spoil yourself or anyone else you’re keen to impress? Consider a spontaneous gift. Don’t go too rash though as you might regret such extravagance later. It really is the thought that counts, and little treats can mean a lot.
Leo (July 24 to August 23)
A family secret may come out into the open, but the genuine warmth of Mercury in your sign can help you discuss any thorny subject in a way that allows everyone to feel at ease. You’ll inject an element of comedy and keep it light, even if it involves talking over edgy feelings. There’s great scope for healing that brings everyone together, which is the outcome you want.
Virgo (August 24 to September 23)
Today, not every brilliant idea is worthy of your time and energy, so take a break to reflect on your deeper priorities. These are the ones that require attention, as they may be most closely related to your true needs. Something you’ve glossed over may crave expression and today’s line-up means you can share it with depth and honesty rather than rejecting it out of hand.
More signs and how to get your daily forecast
Libra (September 24 to October 23)
It’s time to acknowledge your true worth without waiting for others to do it for you. Rather than ignore your most obvious talents or belittle them, be proud of what you can do and enjoy contributing to friends and the world at large. It’s a good time to showcase an ability you may have kept to yourself and make it a big deal. Add drama and passion and others will notice.
Scorpio (October 24 to November 22)
Your instincts are razor sharp, and your presence is strong, meaning you’re very impressive. You may have to put on an act to get what you want, Scorpio, if you aren’t confident about your chances. This is an opportunity to enjoy some theatre and play your part to perfection. You’ll soon lose yourself in your performance and your abilities will wow others.
Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21)
A dream could get to the heart of an issue you’ve been grappling with for some while. It could lay out the problem and the answer in such a way that you’ll have no difficulty in resolving it. You might also find that getting away from it all gives you the perspective you need to get a refreshing overview of your life. A positive shift may be coming very soon.
Capricorn (December 22 to January 21)
The Moon highlights friendships, teamwork and long-held dreams. It’s a reminder that the right people can help you turn ambitious plans into reality. Yet Mercury in an intense zone might encourage you to bring up issues that have been on your mind and that need to be aired right now. You’ll find a way to start the conversation and bring it to a healing conclusion.
Aquarius (January 22 to February 19)
You know what you want, and someone could help you get there if you talk to them. You’ll need to appeal to their sense of importance and not be too proud to do so. A small gift or offer of a meal or other treat might also ease things along. Perhaps they will arrange things for you, but they’ll need to know you’re serious about this. Be your confident self, and you’ll do well.
Pisces (February 20 to March 20)
It’s a good day to blend practical action with imagination, and you’ll find that even ordinary tasks can lead you towards extraordinary opportunities. If you’re ready to try something different, you’ll need to get organised first. Don’t see it as a chore; see it as a chance to find new ways to accomplish your goals while staying on track with your plans.
