Aries
March 21 to April 20
Your friendships and social situation are supercharged today as the Moon glides into the friendly Aquarius and links with the potent planetary powerbroker, Pluto. This can give you a lot of incentive to connect with those who are really meaningful to you, but it can also make you much more mindful of when group politics unhelpfully complicate things.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
There’s a paradox today. On one hand, as the Moon climbs into the most visible part of your chart, this may make it more difficult to disguise your emotions, and yet it’s link to the planet of secrets, Pluto, may mean that you feel more scrutinised by people. Just when you thought staying a little more low key is your preference, will you share something quite personal?

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Your passion for a particular holiday destination or somewhere linked to the arts can be amplified today. Will it push you to actually make a booking? Well, it could do. You could certainly speak passionately and enthusiastically about these areas. And if you are thinking of visiting with a friend or partner, your powerful energy can prove infectious for them, too.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
The influential Pluto is helping to transform your psychological understanding. As your ruler, the Moon, passes him today, the things that you’ve been working through recently can seem more vivid. Whether you’re considering long-term finances, a deep connection, decoupling from something that isn’t working, or any old control issue, they’ll be hard to ignore.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
The Moon has entered the most harmonising part of your situation, but also a zodiac sign where she can be that much more outspoken, in Aquarius. As much as you may want to keep certain alliances on an even keel, her connection to the transformational Pluto may nudge you to discuss something that you may have been avoiding, but it can be positive to do so.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Metronomic routines often make you feel safe, Virgo, but for the last couple of years, a deep transforming energy has been slowly making you more aware that some kind of reset could actually be therapeutic. Be open to this, because with the disruptive Uranus in your work sector now, it may be a case of change being as good as a rest.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
If someone is on your cosmic radar, Libra, your fascination with them can get amped up quite considerably today. But with Neptune, the planet of dreams, in your sector of relating for many years to come, it’s also important to decipher, in a practical way, who would make a good match against who captivates your romantic imagination.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
You have a knack for working out the politics of situations without even saying a word. But it could be around family dynamics today that there’s some complexity. This could be for the good; it could be perhaps more challenging. But if someone does tend to dominate the domestic scene, that could be what brings all this into focus.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Bright and bubbly conversations can be a major part of what makes daily life enjoyable and fun. Yet today, whether it is a discussion, a text message, or an email, your words and ideas can seem to carry that much more weight. And if you are discussing something that’s important to you, people will recognise this and appreciate your take.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
That old saying about earning respect rather than demanding it comes to mind as the Moon merges with the planet of power, Pluto, in the sometimes rebellious sign of Aquarius. If you don’t feel your efforts are valued as much as they could be, you may become more outspoken. That in itself is not a bad thing, but if you push too hard, someone can resist as stubbornly.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
You possess an intriguing blend of energies, Aquarius. Some people see you as very different and progressive, whilst you may see yourself as much more traditional. But today you are being given a bit of a push to have the confidence to demonstrate how you can see life in your own inimitably unique way, so why not shock and awe!

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
It’s said in astrology that mutable signs like yours, which have an ability to flex and evolve, can actually spend quite a lot of your time thinking about past events and people. And if someone, or some music from your distant past, comes up in your thoughts today, this could have a very evocative impact. Equally, an old talent you have could be recycled now.
