ARIES

March 21 to April 20

Family contacts may feel a little uncertain with Neptune’s influence, but ripples can signal currents underneath that it’s good to tackle early.

So asking questions, kindly is better than staying silent.

Love words you have always used benefit from a refresh and rethink – so you can really make your romantic mark.

GEMINI

May 22 to June 21

Mercury layers security and common sense into cash dealings, so if you have to go against the flow at home, or at work, you can make your case so fluently.

But do stick to any lines you lay down, don’t let yourself be pushed.

A song that’s been looping through your memory all week can carry a luck connection with it.

CANCER

June 22 to July 22

Where, and how, you fit into your deepest dreams is changing and this can be a positive thing.

VIRGO

August 24 to September 22

Just how well do people closest to you know you?

Mercury asks this question but reminds you that holding back information leaves relationships lacking.

If you start the day single, an enigmatic Aquarius is equally tempting, and challenging.
