ARIES March 21 – April 20: Venus glides into Taurus, so it’s also time to invest in a few luxuries and enjoy some of life’s finer things. You’re worth it! Plus, Mercury’s move into Cancer enhances your emotional intelligence, making your conversations richer. You’ll sense what others need before they say it. A very sociable vibe is also showing up and you’re perfectly placed to be unexpectedly lucky.

TAURUS April 21– May 21: Ready to seal an agreement or keen to discover that rare bargain? It’s all down to intuition and timing. With Venus also stepping into your sign, a makeover or an image refresh could do wonders for your confidence. And Mercury’s move into Cancer makes you aware that what people say and what they feel aren’t always the same. Read between the lines and trust your gut.

GEMINI May 22 – June 21: You have the green light to mix, mingle and make new connections. Say yes to invites and reach out to old friends too.

You’ll be very alert when it comes to saving, spending and spotting bargains others could easily miss.

CANCER June 22 – July 23: Your intuition is working well, so use it to zero in on golden opportunities as they float by. Plus, a stroke of good fortune could be much closer than you think.

LEO July 24 – 23 August 23: Ready for a quick getaway? Teaming up with friends could make it all worthwhile. Plus, Venus saunters into Taurus, so your charisma goes into overdrive around those in positions of power. Flash that smile and doors could open to bigger and better opportunities. Even so, you might prefer to keep certain thoughts under wraps for now. You’ll know when it’s time to speak.

VIRGO August 24 – September 23: Taking on board wise advice could be the secret ingredient to edging closer to a major goal. You don’t have to do it all alone, even if you’re perfectly capable.

Don’t be shy about showcasing your talents as it’s time they were noticed.

SCORPIO October 24 – November 22: Your social life looks good as Venus in Taurus helps smooth over any past tensions, making this a brilliant time for deepening bonds, or if you’re feeling adventurous, diving into dating. In addition, Mercury’s move into Cancer invites you to review your beliefs and notice how feelings and thoughts shape your path. A small tweak can make a whole world of difference.

SAGITTARIUS November 23 – December 21: The temptation to indulge in life’s pleasures and skip the gym will be strong, so enjoy, but balance that extra treat with a walk.
