Aries
March 21 to April 20
This is a fine week for turning flair into something structured and tangible. Practicality is the key, Aries, but this offers a fantastic chance to see solid progress, following on from the original ideas you’ve had of late. And if you are someone who finds the domestic side of life a tad dull, you may discover a new burst of enthusiasm to catch up on outstanding chores.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
There has been such a focus on home, family and personal affairs of late, and with the Moon squaring off with the dour Saturn today, it would be understandable if you felt tentative about the new week. However, as the days unfold, a refreshing burst of lively, playful energy comes through, which can see you keener to connect and socialise. This can prove to be inspiring.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
As the Moon glides through the business-like Capricorn, it’s a good chance to consider close connections. The ruler of the sign, Saturn, squares the Moon, and after such a busy time of late, nudges you to weigh the value of some of your friendships and associations. So today, you may feel happier to step back and appreciate your own space, and process things.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
With the Sun’s arrival in practical Virgo, the next month can see your mind stepping up a gear. However, you may also feel restless but find it hard to pinpoint exactly why. Might the root of this come from your worldly responsibilities or work? If these are too mundane or lack a people dynamic, this can get you thinking about different options, but this can be good.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Your focus can now shift towards making the most of your talents. Today’s Moon-Saturn square may raise questions around responsibilities or longer-term goals, but this can help you see what really matters. By giving your ambitions firmer foundations now, you’ll be in a much stronger position to build lasting success. Managing money carefully comes up too.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Now the Sun has entered your sign, a fresh personal cycle begins, inspiring you to organise, improve and embrace positive changes. Yet as the Moon and Saturn briefly clash, it may make the start of the week feel serious, but don’t let this dent your confidence. Refining your plans now is much more likely to lead to lasting success, and to workable outcomes, Virgo.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
You have entered a quieter, more reflective phase, but after last week’s bubbly and social energies this can be an excellent time to recharge and tie up loose ends. The Moon in Capricorn can focus your attention on home or family matters, but know if someone seems quiet, look to give them a little bit of personal space. You can support them if asked.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
The Sun’s arrival in Virgo is set to shine a light on friendships, teamwork and your future aspirations. Some relationships will likely strengthen, whilst others may naturally run their course. Trust your judgement on this and focus on quality over quantity. You may start to see something different in the dynamics of one situation also today, Scorpio.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Career matters and longer-term ambitions come into sharper focus with the Sun now in the precise but practical, Virgo. If you are not enjoying what you do, it could show today, with the Moon impacted by the cautious Saturn, seeing the downside more than the up. As this week goes on, a more restless but rebellious side of your nature could start to show up.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
With the Moon in your sign, you may feel more aware of your emotions and responsibilities. Its square to your ruler Saturn asks for patience, but the Sun’s move into Virgo is encouraging you to think positively about future opportunities. Looking beyond today’s immediate tense planetary energies is urging you to see the big picture, and it can be bright, Capricorn.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
The next four weeks are going to see your attention turned towards shared resources, deeper commitments and planning. People often talk about your idealism, but it is more likely your realism, particularly around financial or emotional obligations, that show up most. However, your talent for spotting trends before others can still see you shrewdly spot an opportunity.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Relationships and connections of all kinds are emphasised from now as the Sun enters Virgo for the next four weeks. Yet as much as you may be prepared to meet someone halfway and work collaboratively, it may be around an existing close or family bond that you can feel more rebellious. It may be that you feel they are not being as upfront about a financial matter.
