Horoscopes

Aries

True, you could get hot under the colour when it seems that you're being asked to clear up after someone. But you might also get satisfaction from knowing that your recent contribution to a new system actually speeds up a process. It may be that you now have to master the fine art of delegation. To do that might require showing someone (for the last time) how to deal with a mess. With your energy levels rising (OK, and occasionally driven by anger), a friend's suggestion that you both take part in a physical work-out, could be just what you need.

Taurus

It's just possible that something's got 'under your skin'. Sensitivity to a domestic product is possible. It might also be that a younger person has managed to tread on a few nerves. All this seems to boil down to finding a way to deal with day-to-day tasks and keep within a schedule. Perhaps a clock needs to be set a few minutes fast? Speed could be an issue generally: if you can't be cloned, then you may need to find ways of shortening journey times.

Gemini

It could take until early June before your mental and physical energies are working at similar pace. For now, you may want to do more than you are really able to do. A friend's suggestion that you make lists might sound boring. It could work though. It's perhaps also the case that a little exercise would do you good. A friend's suggestion that you build in a competitive element, might be just what's needed.

Cancer

Perhaps you sense that next month will be unlike any other - and perhaps you need to savour the last gasp of January before you move on. It seems your tempo is very different to those of others: they may feel urgency where you experience anticipation. Might your goals be different? Perhaps you need some time in sanctuary: in contacting your inner voice you might hear something valuable.

Leo

You could feel 'sandwiched' between two friends: a Virgo and a Libra. It's unlikely that you'll feel torn in two - but could feel bolstered and supported. The big question is why this is so appreciated. It may be that you know you've gone over the top somewhere and that you now need help to clear up a misunderstanding and a charm offensive put in place to get a project (and probably a relationship) back on track - and that these two friends are aware of your predicament too.

Virgo

Interestingly, both your physical and mental energy levels could be raised. You may have been enthused by someone with high energy levels. The art now may be to ensure that there's no more time-wasting and that tasks are cost-effective. Early success here could bring you to the attention of colleagues born under the Fire signs (Aries, Leo or Sagittarius), who may need your help. The team-work involved could pave the way to networking and, possibly, a particularly meaningful introduction.

Libra

An administrative 'tiger' could get into your fuel tank. Determined to reach a target, your focus is likely to be at its best. However, this could result in strained relationship - particularly with someone usually known for their iron will and who's unused to seeing you in 'battle mode'. True, this could be turned into a charm offensive used on behalf of someone who's got into a scrape. This same energy could have great effect in a partnership that's been in danger of growing stale.

Scorpio

You could so 'hit-the ground-running'. You might be launching a charm offensive (and so come across a few other zodiac types trying their hand at this manoeuvre). The difference between you and others is that you are probably pre-set to win this one. Wordsmith skills may be required. Where others aren't sure how to tell a personal story within an official form, you might know exactly how to get salient points across. You might also decide that a discreet word in someone's ear could make a difference.

Sagittarius

You may be required to defend a system. It's possible that you're thought of as less than efficient and/or that you've been carrying too much information in your head. It may be necessary to complete a form - again. It's probable too that a timetable is not going to fall into place quite as you would have wished. At a meeting, you may be struck by how forcefully someone insists that a job be done in a certain way - which might cause you to consider if you really want to continue working in this way.

Capricorn

A letter may be chasing you. Its contents might give you a headache. They might also leave you at odds with someone who could have alerted you to this earlier. It's unlikely that you'll be much more than irritated: you've perhaps had enough of crisis management. It may be that the communications this incident creates, actually works in your favour by giving you an excuse to call someone you haven't heard from in some time.

Aquarius

Challenging someone who thinks they know everything could amuse you. You're unlikely to be deterred by a charm offensive and far more interested in 'cutting to the quick'. The need to see action could be near overwhelming. You could hit a snag though. In your haste to see improvement, you could harm yourself - either through using sharp words that rebound on you, or by cutting yourself.

Pisces

Where a research project or mini-investigation is concerned you could be recharged. It's possible that someone has dropped an inadvertent hint and set you thinking differently. Though impatient to get on with the quest, you might also know that you need assistance. For this reason, you might be unusually willing to cultivate a friendship with someone who can be relied on to follow a script to the letter.

Horoscopes

Aries

You could strike lucky. Not only could your imagination be in excellent condition, it might also be working so well that the positive vibes you send out, attract benefits. Your popularity’s likely to increase with someone making a forceful request to have you as part of their team. Whether match-making or playing sports, you could so, so deliver.

Taurus

A window-shopping trip could have quite an effect. Sure, you might be attracted to something really expensive: thanks to a good friend, you could also attract a bargain. It’s not so much that you’re exceptionally ‘lucky’ today, it be more a case that you’re with people who think positively and can turn situations around. The potential for romance is considerable too.

Gemini

Friends and colleagues are likely to feed you with more information than you can handle and yes, there is a danger that you could forget half of what you’re told or even end up in the wrong place. But like a butterfly blown off course by gentle breezes, you might enjoy where you land up – particularly if that’s with someone who’s dressed for an occasion and seems bent on making your day special too.

Cancer

You could fall into romantic mode so, so easily. You may be attracted to someone who looks as though they’re dressed to take part in historical drama. The past could have effect in other ways too: you might experience a ‘deja-vu’ through which you arrive at a decision that effectively draws an item into your nest: a feat that could be memorable for others too.

Leo

You might feel as though you’re walking down a magic carpet laid-out by a friend. Yes, romance could come your way. You’re also likely to be actively seeking the more pleasant side of life. True, that might also result in you being lured into an expensive shopping area. The effect of music and the arts could be no less special – and could bring you into contact with a fan who’s more than a little smitten.

Virgo

You’re far more likely to be tuned in to possibilities than any day in the last few months. You could show someone younger the benefits of positive thinking. It’s as likely that you’ll find the right language to convince a relative that a solution to a long-held problem is closer than they think. The way you ‘paint the future’ could affect a few people for the better.

Libra

Romance – or reconnecting with someone who usually lives far, far away is likely. You might just be discussing and planning a return trip – perhaps even flexing a credit card and going ahead with a booking. The urge to create may be stronger than usual, resulting in you starting a project (painting, music??) and gaining admiring glances from someone who wishes they had similar talents.

Scorpio

Others could experience you as a magician: they might even think they’ve fallen under your spell. It might appear that you know exactly the right food or drink to give someone to calm them down. Your own nerves may be in interesting condition too – perhaps because you’re dressed for a special occasion and in the process discovering that there’s an inner you that quite likes this image.

Sagittarius

You could allow someone close to think they’ve come up with an idea – the seed of which you planted some time back. Sure, it could be the other way around. Either way, you and someone close could be playing mind games as you work out a way to celebrate a special event. Love could be in the air in other ways, with news from neighbours or close friends that show they too are into future planning.

Capricorn

You could ride the crest of a financial wave – possibly through good news or perhaps because you’ve found a bargain. Someone who’s lived their four score years and more could give you a valuable tip. Curiously, this person might simply appear in a photograph or newspaper article. The train of thought prompted could lead you to asking questions of an Aquarius who might have access to valuable data.

Aquarius

You may be considered the ‘keeper of secrets’. What someone close would like to know might surprise – and delight you. The past could affect you in a myriad of pleasant ways: with a very old (cathedral-type) place providing the setting for an event that takes you on a magical mental journey. The effect on others could be considerable too: you might be particularly amazed by someone’s generosity.

Pisces

The making of a fantasy could excite you. You may be involved in planning a surprise party – or even a marketing campaign. Illusion could affect you in other ways – and could result in you being lured into non-clothes but fashionable stores – or even an art gallery. A suggestion by a relative of an adventure you could incorporate into your life might cause you to laugh – yet be greeted with enthusiasm by someone close.

Horoscopes

Aries

New friends, new goals, and new attitudes could all appear on the scene, Aries. Unexpected developments within a group are likely to require reevaluating a course of action. This is probably a positive development, and it could be exciting, but it’s going to mean some immediate adjustments. As your mental energy is still sharp, this shouldn’t be too difficult.

Taurus

If you’ve been aiming for a specific career goal, Taurus, it might suddenly manifest with the current planetary energy. You could be catapulted into the public eye in some way. The possibility of an increased income could arise, although it might be speculative at this point. Your mental energy continues high, so you should be able to easily grasp all the ins and outs of your situation.

Gemini

This should be a stimulating day, Gemini. The possibility of a journey might arise unexpectedly. This could be exciting as some close friends or a romantic partner might accompany you. A new turn in your intellectual or spiritual interests could have your mind going a thousand miles an hour. You will want to learn more about it. The internet could have useful information. Make the most of it.

Cancer

Unexpected economic developments might make a sudden and positive difference in your situation, Cancer. Perhaps your field becomes more competitive, and people with your skills are more in demand. Whatever it is, you can expect more money to come your way in the future. Legal papers could be involved, as could some interesting people you haven’t met before. Your mind is likely to be buzzing.

Leo

Your social life might suddenly be busier than you expected, Leo, perhaps because of the appearance of some interesting new people. This could involve a group with which you’re affiliated, perhaps one with a humanitarian focus. Expect to be busy over the next few weeks, as this trend isn’t likely to slow down soon. Stimulating conversations could set your mind going a mile a minute.

Virgo

Books and conversations with friends could take up most of your day, Virgo. The intellectual stimulation could have positive and negative effects on your health. Positive because it raises your enthusiasm and puts you in an enthusiastic state of mind, and negative because it might get you so excited that you forget to eat or rest. Enjoy all the excitement but don’t forget to take a break.

Libra

If you’re currently romantically involved, expect your relationship to reach a new understanding and sense of unity, Libra. If you aren’t involved, you could meet someone special today, and it might be like love at first sight. An instant bond could form between you because of mutual intellectual interests. You might have a lot to talk about, as your own projects are going better than you’d hoped.

Scorpio

An old friend you haven’t seen in a long time could turn up. This should be a pleasant surprise, Scorpio, as you will have a lot of catching up to do. You might have good news, as you’ve been busy and could have come across some very exciting information. Take a walk at the end of the day or you might not be able to sleep.

Sagittarius

Some great news could come today that turns your life upside down momentarily. Sagittarius, you will find it very exciting. New neighbours could move in and you might spend some time getting acquainted. Much of your day could be spent seeking information in a field that interests you. Expect a busy day, but remember to rest now and then. A walk in the evening might be a good idea.

Capricorn

News might bring exciting opportunities for increasing your income, Capricorn. Perhaps you will learn of ways to start your own business. Maybe the demand for people with your skills has increased. You might discover the efficiency some new technology for managing your finances. Discussions with others should bring many new ideas your way. Make the most of them.

Aquarius

Discussions could bring some exciting information your way that alters your thinking slightly. You tend to be oriented toward social, political, or humanitarian issues, Aquarius. Today you might have the chance to put your talents to work. Someone could ask you for assistance. You have the mental and physical energy to go for it, so it’s likely that you will, though perhaps not right away.

Pisces

Today you may take up the study of astrology, numerology, alchemy, or other occult discipline. Your intellectual abilities are particularly sharp, Pisces, so you may want to combine them with your tendency toward mysticism. This should keep you busy for much of the day, but you need to watch out for intellectual overload. You don’t want to forget what you’ve learned. Take notes.
