Aries
March 21 to April 20
They get much less attention in astrology than perhaps they should, but each month has two Quarter Moons, and that is when the Sun is at a right angle with the Moon, which provides a backdrop energy for a week. And today suggests that when it comes to a financial matter, or even a point of principle, your best tack is to be as flexible as possible.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
The Moon in Aquarius forges a tense right angle to Mercury and the Sun in your zodiac sign today. They’re giving you a lot of encouragement to be very single-minded in your approach, but someone you need to work with, and it could be in the family, or someone professionally could prove to be more unyielding than you expect. A stubborn standoff is possible.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
As an air sign Gemini, you often process emotional situations through your thoughts and a degree of logic, but something might come up today that quickly amplifies a sensitive issue in an unexpected manner, and you may find yourself feeling more affected by this than usual. It’s probably not the best day to get into big debates, especially around thorny subjects.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
You may be reviewing your life direction, and if you’re not quite sure you are on the right track, the restlessness that you are feeling suggests you may need to pause and try to figure out what’s going on at a deeper level. Do be open to more unusual options, especially if juggling your resources and earnings is impacting your decision to plump for what you really desire

Leo
July 24 to August 23
The Sun and Mercury in your sector of ambitions are urging you to raise your profile and push forward with confidence with your talents and skills. And as much as you can do this, it is the relationships that impact these hopes that are highlighted strongly today. Not entirely a case of who you know, as much as what, but tact will be helpful.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
That part of you that can be very conscientious, Virgo, is challenged by celestial energies that are encouraging you to explore a more free-spirited approach to your life. It’s a tension, but one with real potential. What you may need to do at first is juggle this, but don’t feel you can’t take steps towards a freer, more liberated future.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Some deeper passionate desires are being triggered within you, but if you don’t currently have a love interest or a special project to engage you, your frustration can be palpable. Or is it that one situation is riven with too much politics? The great news is that as this month unfolds, you are likely to get a lot more opportunities to spread your wings and find new paths.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
You could find yourself playing the role of mediator today between two friends or family members who aren’t getting along so well. Another strand that could come up is whether you should speak up about something you’re not entirely happy with or just keep the peace, but if you do that, it could develop into longer-term resentment.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
You could experience quite a lot of nervous tension today, but it can be very productive, pushing you to pack in as much as possible and get a lot done. But don’t try to be too conscientious, Sagittarius, because you could end up feeling wired up. Instead, just take a moment to write out a to-do list, and prioritise the things that need tackling most.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Sometimes it’s nice to just live in the moment and be more carefree about what we do socially, who we meet up with, or even if we splash out on something that would give us a lift. And over the next week, that’s precisely the type of energy that unfolds for you, Capricorn. You could be very disciplined, and resist or will you embrace this, and if so, then why not?

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
The Quarter Moon in your zodiac sign today could see you being more outspoken, but particularly about home, family, or emotional issues over the next week. But if it helps ventilate an issue that’s been niggling away within you, even if it is uncomfortable, it could be for the best. Another way you can use this energy is to try changing things up at home.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
We’re bombarded with so much information these days, and much of it, although amusing or informative, can overload our senses. This may be something you want to fence out over the next few days and be more protective around, which is good. Equally, be cautious about oversharing personal details. Someone who tends to gossip can relish this.
