Aries
March 21 to April 20
Today’s Quarter Moon in Capricorn suggests a decision in which there could be very different ways of handling such matters. Practical and ambitious plans can clash with a need for diplomacy, and you may be uncertain which approach to take. Yet, patience could win the day. Feeling stuck? Advice from someone who has an impartial viewpoint could be very helpful.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Craving adventure? You may be held back by a pile of paperwork that needs attention. The key is balance. Find a way to delegate, take a closer look at where your priorities lie and make decisions that will allow you the leeway you need. Today’s lunation enables you to stand back and consider how your routine may be cramping your style more than you think.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
A potent lunar phase could ramp up the stakes in a budding romance or creative collaboration. Getting more deeply involved with a certain person might come with a financial or emotional price tag you’ll want to consider. Clarify expectations and ask any awkward questions upfront. You can do so tactfully, but at least you’ll know where you stand.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Your partner’s needs may clash with domestic priorities, and this can require a compromise rather than impulsive actions. A pause for thought could turn things around very fast, as might putting yourself in their shoes. You’re a naturally sensitive sign and you tend to pick up on others’ moods and feelings, so tuning in can give you insights you can act upon right away.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
There may be too much going on today as work or life commitments might be affected by urgent meetings, unanswered emails and one or two important conversations. To make any headway, you’ll need to separate what is crucial from what can wait until another time. Take stock as early in the day as possible so you get organised and even get ahead of yourself.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Something or someone delightful may tempt you to splurge without a care. But having fun doesn’t mean you have to spend a lot of money. You may want to get more deeply involved in a hobby or relationship, but costs can spiral unless you take a practical look at how to prevent this happening. It’s easy to make sensible adjustments without cancelling out all the fun.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
You’ll have plans and goals, and with the Sun now in your sign you’ll be fired up and eager to implement exciting ideas. Someone in the family might need help just as you’re about to take that first step. It can be very tempting to make everyone happy by abandoning your own priorities. Don’t do it, as you can still hold key conversations without losing sight of yourself.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
You may feel torn between speaking up and keeping something private until you understand it better. A conversation, message or information could require some reflection or processing before you respond. Check facts and choose your words carefully rather than thinking the worst and saying all the wrong things. The timing of a discussion can also be very important.

Sagittarius
A social invitation, group plan or even a bold project could clash with your financial reality. It’s easy to get carried away and hope everything will work out for the best, but what if it doesn’t? Before you agree to anything or take that first step, you’ll need to be honest with yourself. It helps to know what you can reasonably afford without stressing yourself out.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
You like to put duty first, but today’s Quarter Moon in your sign encourages you to put your personal needs higher up on your list of priorities. Keen to get ahead? You might be tempted to push hard to get where you want to be, leaving your own plans behind in the dust. Take some time today to consider your own wishes for more joy, recreation and good relationships

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Have the travel bug and eager to journey far? Another side of you may be ready to explore your inner landscapes through meditation and reflection. It could be that you’ll gain inspiration from your dreams or have an intuitive nudge about somewhere you should visit. A silent worry or lingering doubt could come up for review, so it’s time to do something about it.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Do you have a secret you’re keen to reveal? Be careful, as you could go one step too far and let something slip. Share a snippet, but don’t go the whole way. Someone may also be asking too many personal questions. Remember, you don’t have to answer them. Make excuses and get away. Still, someone might offer you an opportunity that could be worth a lot of money.
