Aries
March 21 to April 20
We get a repetition today of a planetary influence that occurred earlier in the month. This happens when planets connect, one speeds away, smugly looking in the cosmic wing mirror, only to find that due to a heavenly diversion, known as a Retrograde, they meet once more. The effect could be similar, a temptation to be impatient when tact will work best.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Your ruler Venus has reversed back into the other sign she guides, Libra. Though the Retrograde can see you humming and hawing about some practical issues, perhaps linked to your work or a relationship. If it is to do with a professional matter, whether you like or don’t like a colleague, be guided by your sixth sense. The North Node will help this, nudging you along.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Things could get a bit tense today if you decide to take that route. Because there will be a choice, Gemini. This can be to try to cram too much into your day, be too efficient to the point you feel wound up, or you can decide to embrace the fine link between the peaceable Venus and the Point of Destiny, gently steer you by trusting that all will be well, by relaxing.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
If you are tempted to indulge today, you might find buying an item for your abode one of the things you are drawn to. Home comforts are often important to many Cancer people, and this can be especially true from now until early December. Comforting fabrics, warming colours, and rich textures can all call out to you, so why should you resist. Now then, what’s it to be?

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Mars in your sign can be self-assured and very, well, single-minded. So, if you find yourself talking to someone you know well, and they are not quite getting your drift as quickly as you’d like, you may find yourself getting rather quickly frustrated. However, another planetary aspect today gives a different option, where not sweating the small stuff is best.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
How have you found the third and final retrograde of your ruler this year? If you recall, it began a week ago, but all of them this year have been in water signs, which can dilute, literally, the clarity and cool analysis that you like. That said, rethinking things can be an opportunity, as much as the snags they create. If you have had tech issues, this is likely why!

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Your ruler has gracefully and gently eased back into your zodiac sign and will continue her once-every-eighteen-month rewind for another two weeks. If you have been thinking of doing something different with your personal image or look, this is a fine time to action it, but your creative juices can also start to bubble away. A previous idea could re-engage you.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
If you are needing to deal with any kind of authority figure today, just be mindful of who really holds the celestial cards, particularly if you feel they are failing to recognise your genius. That part of you that really does get frustrated by any kind of games could show up, and with the Moon in Cancer in a brittle clash with Saturn, you may want to cut to the chase.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
You may find yourself having to hold back frustration, particularly if someone is being obtuse. Mars and Mercury clash and can create a combustible mix, where words are spoken before they have been properly considered. Yet gentle Venus and the North Node suggest another way. And anyway, a little diplomacy could achieve more than an exasperated reply.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
There is quite a mixture of influences around you today, Capricorn. The Moon’s tense link with your guide Saturn could see responsibilities weighing heavier than usual, while Mars and Mercury may stir things up around joint finances or arrangements. Don’t let someone else’s urgency become yours. Take a step back and decide what truly needs your attention.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
With the North Node in your sign forging a lovely link from Venus, there can be a feeling that something is gently falling into place, and this can unfold over the next year or so. This is especially helpful if you’ve been reconsidering a relationship or wondering whether to revisit a previous idea. Just don’t allow someone else’s impatience to hurry you into a big decision.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
You could be especially sensitive to the atmosphere around you today, Pisces, nothing new perhaps, but you might be more conscious of what someone isn’t saying. Part of the issue is context, and theirs and yours may not align. Beguiling Venus offers a softer vibe, so if you can avoid getting drawn into any drama, do. Gain quiet satisfaction by letting this pass you by.
