Aries
March 21 to April 20
The Moon in your sign and its positive tie to the lovely Venus can bring lightness, joy and a sense of fun into the midweek mix. If you’re doing something today, make it a leisurely or romantic activity you’ll truly relish. Get stuck into a hobby you love, go on a fabulous date, enjoy a cultural experience, but don’t take work home or do anything that saps your energy.

You may feel an urge to disappear and enjoy some alone time today, so don’t feel bad if you need a break. Feeling exhausted, burnt out and just need some peace? Then do take this seriously. Give yourself the time out you need and make it a regular habit. Don’t feel bad; instead, enjoy any chance you get for some self-care and pampering. You really deserve it.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
You’ll find joy in solitude as a lunar tie hints that dreams and quiet reflection could help you unravel issues around finances, business, and emotional entanglements. Relaxing to music might also help you accept something that has been difficult to embrace. You’ll realise you can’t change everything, and sometimes it’s not necessary. Be happy with what you have.
