Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Today’s positive energies encourage you to trust your instincts. There are times when taking the initiative and doing something because you sense it’s a good move is the best approach. If someone offers you an opportunity that may not be around for long, then consider going for it. Do check out all the details first though, as Mercury continues to rewind for a few days more.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Mercury is retracing its steps for a little longer, but now makes a positive aspect to Venus, which paves the way for a conversation that you can build on. It’s a chance to exchange ideas that could develop into something promising. This is the ideal time for teamwork and collaboration, but it’s also perfect for enhancing your network, both online and off. Plant the seeds of great ideas now.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Solo? You may feel more adventurous when it comes to romance and be keen to explore the possibility of meeting someone who enjoys the same things as you. Even so, it’s best not to be in too much of a hurry to get a relationship off the ground, as Mercury is still Retrograde until early next week, which can see some glitches. But then an unexpected reconnection could be a high point too.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Going on a special outing? Mercury in Sagittarius suggests making the most of it. If your mind has been preoccupied with other pressing matters, this can be a breath of fresh air and a chance to unwind in delightful company. Equally, a discussion could highlight sparkling possibilities that you hadn’t considered, adding sparkle to a plan or creative project that might be a success.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
With a buoyant blend of energies, you could get swept up in a whirl of social activities. And arranging an event at home or accepting an invite, may be something you would truly enjoy. Solo?

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Mercury is well-placed, even if it’s in reverse, giving you the edge when it comes to developing ideas and connecting with key people. And a positive link with Venus may encourage you to pool resources and ideas regarding a plan that’s in the discussion stage. If you can slow down enough to focus, you might do very well. Even so, you’ll also benefit from relaxing and enjoying life.

October 24 to November 22
It’s unlikely that you’ll be indifferent to an encounter today and especially if you sense there’s chemistry between you. A fascination can encourage you to connect, even if you have different ideas and values. And although you may challenge each other, this could be a positive. Whether this relates to a new friendship or budding romance, you’ll enjoy this chance to liaise with a kindred spirit.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
A desire to get away from your everyday surroundings and experience something different could find you on a new trail. A restless urge might encourage you to explore new possibilities, or an encounter may set you on a path that truly energises you. This is also a great time for seasonal gatherings, especially if you haven’t seen certain people for a while. This can be good for your soul.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
What’s the one thing about your life that you’d like to change most? Whatever it is, a potent influence can act as a spur to making it happen. First though, you may need to let go on mental and emotional levels before you can release it for good. This means separating those strands that keep you tied to this situation. Once you’ve done this, then freedom can be yours.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
A sparkling alignment between Mercury and Venus may coincide with an encounter you’re thrilled about. It could lead to a new friendship or to this person becoming a romantic interest, especially if you have a lot in common. You’re also very astute, so if you feel that taking things further would benefit you in more ways than one, then it’s the ideal time to break the ice.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Can you afford to be more flexible today? If so, influences suggest avoiding over-planning and giving yourself more leeway. You may want to forgo tried and trusted options and see where your desires and yearnings take you. For now, consider doing something a little bit different that engages your curiosity and gives you a boost. You likely won’t regret it.
