Aries
March 21 to April 20
If making a move seems one step too far today, then a strong alignment could help you blast through any complacency. As Mars in Leo forges an awkward angle with Pluto, you’ll notice a new determination that brings energies together like a laser beam. If you know what you want, then no one can stop you. Avoid arguments though Aries, as they won’t do you any good.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
A Mars/Pluto tie reveals you may have to show your more ruthless side. And if this is the case, it means something or someone has already made you annoyed. It pays to nip this matter in the bud, but it’s also wise not to lose your temper. If you can channel this energy into a vigorous workout or a task that’s been a cause for procrastination, you’ll fare so much better, Taurus.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Keen to mix in new circles and make supportive new friends? With an edgy link also showing up, assessing one social connection objectively may help you see it in perspective. If there’s a lingering issue with someone that highlights certain insecurities, you’ll give a lot of thought about what to do next. Perhaps this is one association that you’re better off without, Gemini.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Need to spend some time with people who you don’t really get along with? This is down to the temporary and uncomfortable Mars/Pluto aspect, which suggests that if you’re to keep your cool a lot of patience may be needed. You could always see this as a test of your ability to be kind and tolerant in a difficult situation. And if you can empathize even a little, you’ll do very well.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Don’t just go with the latest fad, Leo. With the Moon in your exploration zone, it’s time to take the path less travelled and start a new trend. With a potent line-up on the cards, you may wonder if you’ll experience a backlash if you refuse to conform. You’re a natural leader and innovator, and this is your chance to make your mark. Others will believe in you, if you believe in yourself.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
There may be more to a difficult matter than meets the eye, which is why it’s best to keep your thoughts to yourself and observe things from a distance. While it might be tempting to wade in and get involved, it can make matters worse. Intense emotions such as jealousy or resentment could play a part Virgo, so only say something if you can remain unaffected by such feelings.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
You may be pushed into facing up to issues that you’d hoped to avoid, Libra. The sooner you deal with this, the happier you’ll be. And although you might face an awkward time for a day or so, you’ll know that you’ve done the right thing, and this can spur you on to continue taking action until it’s resolved. A constructive conversation could see you making rapid progress.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
If you need to connect with someone in authority, then making a bold move and reaching out to them can serve you well. What might hold you back is the fear of being rejected. And yet if you don’t ask you’ll never know, and your sense of frustration at failing to do anything will leave you feeling worse. This is your chance to prove yourself and so go from strength to strength.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
Ready for new adventures? You might feel frustrated if you can’t stretch to a more exotic vacation. But there may be hidden treasures closer to home that are waiting to be discovered. For a lot less you could find a way to enjoy a break that allows you to unwind and relish new adventures and experiences, and it can be so enjoyable you’ll want to repeat the experience.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Resisting change can be a futile exercise, as clinging to aspects of the past may keep you stuck. Embracing fresh ideas could seem audacious Capricorn, and yet be very freeing. This is the situation that you may find yourself in. And if so, it can help to be flexible and to consider other possibilities. Something new may be ready to blossom, but first the old needs to be released.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
The present blend of energies can be both intense and pleasantly engaging, and it all depends where they are directed. You may be being far too hard on yourself regarding one matter though, and this could divert attention away from more uplifting activities. Give yourself a break and perhaps be a little gentler with yourself. Sparkling company may help in this regard, Aquarius.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
The angle between Mars and Pluto can certainly shake things up, and you may find that even the most innocent remarks or incidents could turn into a drama. All this might seem unnecessary, but with such intense energies on the go, minor incidents can become major conflicts. Involved in something that threatens to boil over? By being quietly disarming and charming it will subside.
