Confidence meets compassion today, as a powerful Leo line-up encourages bold ideas, while the Moon’s move into Cancer reminds us not to ignore our feelings along the way.
At the same time, Mercury’s connection with wound-healer Chiron creates tension between what we say and our deeper insecurities.
Investigating the root of this self-doubt is a key step towards vanquishing it — especially for Gemini, Taurus and Virgo.

April 21 to May 21
The Moon is very supportive of you today, helping you to align your thinking and feeling. This is helpful for your personal situation, as you can more easily attune to others.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Ever since Chiron moved into Taurus in mid-June, this has been asking you to value your vulnerabilities. As the zodiac’s arch communicator and being quick, agile and smart, fears and anxieties can be concealed by your razor-sharp reflexes, fast pivots, and sense of fun. However, today, try not to fend off someone or mask in this way. Celebrate the inner you, too.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
The Moon in your sign heightens your sensitivity but reminds you just how good your instincts can be. Thinker Mercury’s awkward angle to Chiron suggests someone in authority or a professional matter could momentarily test your confidence. If so, don’t dwell on this too much. Trust your judgement, be composed, and believe your natural gifts will shine through.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Mercury’s arrival in your sign is sharpening your wit and desire to express your ideas. However, its link today to Chiron hints that you could question whether others truly appreciate your ideas. Resist the temptation to overcompensate or seek reassurance. This is a fleeting influence, so know that for the next two weeks, the celestial stage really can be yours

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Over the next fortnight, your guide, Mercury, encourages some peaceful contemplation. This need for inner zen could now be challenged, if briefly, by its link to teacher Chiron. This asks you to consider whether old beliefs are limiting what you think you can achieve. So, if doubts surface, don’t see them as facts but as an opportunity to update your outlook.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Friends and associates can prove especially supportive today, but Mercury’s square to Chiron suggests someone may unintentionally touch on a sensitive subject. Your need for equilibrium is being heightened by your ruler Venus’s arrival in your sign, and as fabulous as it can be, one downside is that you might believe others will match your diplomacy. They may not.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Professional matters can move forward positively — especially if you really believe in your ideas. Yet Mercury’s angle to Chiron suggests another person’s reaction could make you question your approach. Avoid taking criticism personally. Every successful person refines their methods over time. Stay focused on your objectives, and let your actions speak loudest.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Mercury encourages you to widen your horizons, learn something new, or share your knowledge enthusiastically. Chiron, however, reminds you that growth sometimes means admitting what you don’t yet know. There’s real strength in curiosity. Approach today with an open mind, and an unexpected insight could prove every bit as valuable as certainty.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
You’re usually most content when everything feels organised, yet today’s influences suggest emotional strands deserve as much attention as practical ones. Mercury and Chiron may expose an old insecurity connected to family or personal happiness. If so, acknowledge it, don’t judge it. Doing this can help you retain your usual sense of control.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Relationships will benefit from being open today, although thinker Mercury’s tense angle to shrewd Chiron suggests old family patterns or sensitivities could have a bearing. Ask yourself whether the present situation warrants a response or is better left unaddressed. You can keep a sense of detachment while remaining open to connecting without getting riled up.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Your attention can focus on your work, routines, or your wellbeing. Mercury encourages practical moves and conversations, while Chiron reminds you that the way we think about ourselves is so important in preserving our positivity. For example, if you find yourself over-analysing or feeling picky and self-critical, give yourself some latitude. No one’s perfect.
