Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 20)

A controlling person is starting to irritate you to a point where you find it hard to hide your feelings. There's no need to tolerate this kind of behaviour from anyone no matter what their status. Insist on receiving the same respect you extend to others or walk away.

Taurus (Apr 21 - May 21)

You can usually find solace in familiar environments. However, you've recently grown tired of a monotonous routine. Use this as an opportunity to explore new ideas and possibilities. Relocating to a vibrant, emerging neighbourhood will be invigorating or join new social groups in your area.

Gemini (May 22 - June 21)

A joint effort will yield great rewards. You find it easy to connect with people no matter what their age or status. A close friend seems to sense what you are thinking without any verbal communication. Being attentive to your partner's needs will enhance your own romantic satisfaction.

Cancer (June 22 - July 23)

You’re in tune with the feelings of your friends and workmates. This helps you respond to their ideas in a way that makes them feel supported and encouraged. If you are single, seek a partner who is sensible, loving, and loyal. After a few dates, you will know you have found your perfect match.

Leo (July 24 - Aug 23)

There may be a substantial fine or tax demand to pay and you aren’t happy about this. Rather than feeling bitter, tell yourself that this money will assist those in genuine need. Letting go of your frustration can open the door to some lucrative opportunities.

Virgo (Aug 24 - Sept 23)

Are you in search of a new job? Think about applying to a company with rigorous standards. Initially, you might doubt your ability to meet these expectations. Ignore these doubts and instead of hesitating, take a chance on this. You might find it both interesting and rewarding.

Libra (Sept 24 - Oct 23)

If you're seeking financial support to launch a business, start a volunteer group or attend a university course, think about applying to a government agency. Although the application process will involve a lot of paperwork, the effort will be worthwhile. Get ready for a significant change.

Scorpio (Oct 24 - Nov 22)

Finances resemble the ocean's tides, constantly rising and falling. Just before reaching a special goal, you might meet with a costly and difficult challenge. Resist the urge to quit, even when you're feeling drained. By making one last push, you will ultimately reach your destination.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 21)

A close relationship is going through a tense time. Instead of hoping your partner will change, concentrate on nurturing yourself. By prioritising self-care, you set an example for others. As a result, your connections with those around you will become more fulfilling.

Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 20)

You might have to spend more than you had originally planned on something you have been saving for. Even so, this item will be useful for many years to come. Your romantic life is thriving. Allow your partner to shower you with love. If they give you a luxurious gift, accept it with gratitude.

Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 19)

Family life needs attention and luckily, you can now dedicate some time to your home, refreshing your décor, tidying up the garden and cooking tasty meals for your housemates. All of this will provide you with a sense of stability and help you view your professional life more clearly.

Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 20)

You love being spontaneous but this could run into a lot of expense unless you work out a budget from the start and force yourself to stick to it. A new romance will sweep into your life and take you by surprise. Succumb to the hypnotic charm of a new admirer.
