Aries
Today is a subtle, sensitive and very sympathetic day. You'll be putting yourself across to people in a way that makes them understand where you're coming from. What's more you will have an almost magical way of understanding what they're all about. Though muddles may occur in more practical areas of your life. Since you are concerned with confidential matters at the moment especially joint finances you will have to be careful not to get the wrong end of the stick.
Back
Taurus
You will want to be talking more than usual to close partners at home and at work. You do want to get certain things straight as simply and quickly as possible. Though truthfully today is not very great for concentrating on specialised tasks, since you will have your head in the clouds, or be a bit vague or uncertain. Let yourself dream, listen to music or just be a little more imaginative. You may not even notice if someone tries to pull the wool over your eyes. You will just look the other way.
Back
Gemini
You know you have to cope with detail and more specialized information than usual at work now. You need to have your mind sharp if you are to re-organise your daily routines. Just don't get too critical with workmates. Avoid being directly confrontational with people, or leaping in with provocative comments. Since you will more than likely end up losing words and not knowing how to finish what you started. Pause before you reply to criticism, since you may be responding to something you did not quite understand.
Back
Cancer
No one will miss your presence for the next few days. You will want to put on quite a show of wit. Certainly today anything which feels too clashing, difficult or harassing will not suit your laid back mood. You will want things to be soothed and smoothed and wound down. Your intuition will be working well, so trust your instincts. Just don't try to make cash decisions or add up the budget since your concentration will wander.
Back
Leo
Although Mars continues to rev up your engine and make your everyday schedule quite pressured, really you want to slow down more often to spend time with loved ones. Today you will be sensitive to the subtle aspects of the world, so everything around feels dreamy, romantic. If really doesn't match your dreams, then you will want to disappear into your day dreams. If you are in contact with other people, you'll be picking up their problems without even having to ask.
Back
Virgo
Racing around you will be chatting brightly about a million different things. Though if you attempt any tasks that require a huge amount of clear-thinking or attention to precise detail, you won't do them well. Then you'll end up in a bit of a muddle and have to go back and redo them later on. So just push dreary chores to one side. If you go with the flow you will get where you want to go just as quickly.
Back
Libra
Get yourself better informed over the next few days about money matters. Then you can keep everyone else around you up to scratch as well. There could be an absolutely charming message coming your way, or a chance encounter that leaves you feeling rather ethereal. Maybe it will just be a passing moment, but it will bring a deeper sense of connection to a better world. Remember it when you get back into the hassle and hustle.
Back
Scorpio
Chattering more than usual at the moment, you have a bright, curious turn of mind as well as an active tongue. But truthfully today is less about words and more about images or pictures. Mercury in aspect to Neptune makes it a day to pen a love letter, read poetry or even write one. Forget the accounts or the more unpleasant sides of reality. Anything that's harsh, sharp-edged or too strenuous, Neptune slides round. Let others do the rushing around.
Back
Sagittarius
Maybe you are hesitating to voice your opinion because you fear you will not be heard. Listen rather than talk, absorb and keep your own counsel. There are some days when making a determined push is the right approach. Then there are days when doing nothing at all seemingly ends you up in the right place at the right time, saying the right thing to the right people without making too much of an effort. Contrary, but pleasant when it happens all the same.
Back
Capricorn
Definitely out in the swing of things at the moment, you feel popular in team relationships at work or in your leisure activities. But find mates today who share your alternative interests. You will, more than usual, be fascinated by rather mystical things. You want to get away from the rational, logical and practical world, to float off, not quite on a little pink cloud, but heading that way. You know there are more things on heaven and earth than normal life lets in.
Back
Aquarius
Much in demand for your views at work, you are the one who has all relevant info down to the last detail. Just don't drown everyone in too many facts and figures. Especially today when no one seems exactly in focus. Neptune around is a great healer, not in a dramatic way but by gently soothing. It disappears very quickly in the hurry and scurry of modern living. If you can connect to it then you find not just that you feel physically better but that you also a deeper sense of meaning and purpose.
Back
Pisces
You do want to have a wider range of interests and to get your life out of rut at the moment. But that requires an effort of will, determination and perhaps more physical energy than will come easily. Today you will be painting pictures in your mind, which is delightful. Though not so easy when you try to express what you are thinking or feeling. Try to draw your important messages, or even write a poem about them. Pictures and images will speak volumes.
