Aries
March 21 to April 20
If someone tells you something outrageous today, will you believe them? The current Mercury/Neptune blend in Aries, hints that you may be receptive to new ideas. Even so, your intuition is spot on and you’ll find it easy to pick up on others’ motives. If you get a nudge to do something, or perhaps not to, act on it immediately.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
You may seem decisive but could still doubt yourself. This feeling might cause you to hold back from making a key move. The current line-up encourages you to tap into your instincts and consider why you don’t feel ready just yet. Even so, with a confusing blend of energies on the field, it’s wise to wait. In a few days Taurus, you’ll know exactly what you should be doing.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
As talk and thought Mercury merges with Neptune in Aries, it may be just as well to trust your own thinking rather than listen to others. They might mean well, but there’s potential for mixed messages. And although this is nothing personal, it could involve you in a situation that you’d be best to avoid. Want to get someone’s attention? Use your imagination and dress to impress.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Your thinking won’t be very business-like over the next day or so, and you’ll be more inclined to look after others’ needs than to do what’s best for you. You could easily be taken in by unscrupulous people. Avoid committing to anything that you don’t fully understand. Even if you think you do, wait a few days and read the small print again, as you might miss something.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
A dreamy aspect can encourage your imagination to take flight. You may be transported to places you’d love to be, enjoying experiences that make you truly happy. And you might not want to come back down to earth. Music, art and other cultural activities, could also call out to you, and you may be inspired by other people’s work to spice up your skills and have a go.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
With Mercury syncing with Neptune in fiery Aries, be careful what you wish for as you might just get it. This blend of energies could find you passionately pursuing something that may not work out well. You could even lose out, unless you keep your wits about you. In this case, vivid ideas can lead you astray, so get advice or trust your instincts if something seems off.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Avoid making any promises or commitments, even if it seems everything is perfect and nothing could possibly go wrong. With Mercury and Neptune cosying up, you may be pushed into a false sense of security. What seemed so certain could vanish like mist, leaving you in a quandary. Even if everything is still on target by the weekend, it’s still wise to ask a few questions.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Your mind is a powerful tool for change, especially when it comes to wellness. Use visualisation to see yourself thriving, strong and energised. You may want to enhance your fitness goals, initiate better habits or a healthier mindset, but picturing success can set the wheels in motion. It’s also a perfect day for some pampering. Nurture body and soul, and you’ll feel revitalised.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Fact or fantasy? Mercury’s dance with dreamy Neptune could leave you second-guessing someone’s feelings. Are they interested or is it just wishful thinking? Mixed signals can make things even murkier, so don’t jump to conclusions as you might only add to the confusion. Give it a few days and you’ll see whether this is worth your time or just a beautiful illusion, Archer.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
A lively chat could lift your spirits and add some sparkle to your day. But if you’re craving rest, a dreamy Mercury-Neptune connection may tempt you to unplug, unwind and get ridiculously cosy. Whether you’re laughing with friends or curling up in blissful solitude, go with the flow as today is about finding joy in the little moments and embracing whatever makes you feel good.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
With thoughtful Mercury lingering in the company of aquatic Neptune, you may question matters you’ve previously accepted. Something that seemed set in stone might now seem shaky and even unreliable. It may be an agreement, a planned project or a relationship that leaves you wondering. Don’t make any sudden moves but observe how things pan out over coming days.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Now is the perfect time to take charge of your finances, especially those little expenses that drain your account without you noticing. A quick review of your spending could reveal easy ways to save, giving you more control and peace of mind. But to be honest, the urge to splurge may be strong. Cut unnecessary costs where you can, but don’t forget to indulge in life’s pleasures.
