Have plenty of ideas to be working on? If so, it could mean you get to interact with some fascinating people. Is a project running behind time?

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Money could burn a hole in your pocket, and with the Sun journeying through Leo, there may be many tempting things to spend it on. You might be mesmerised by something a friend has bought and desire a similar thing yourself. If you must shop then opt for a small treat, as with Mercury currently rewinding, anything you want could fail to satisfy in the way you hope.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
With the Sun in your sign, you’ll feel more in control. Have the chance of a new experience? If so, jump at it. It could be an opportunity for a new experience which may be just the thing. And yet a lively focus can also incline you to feel restless, and you might need to push yourself to get important things done. Divide big projects into slices and they’ll likely be finished sooner.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
As communicative Mercury aligns with Venus in your sign, get ready for an interesting day which might include a key connection. This could be planned or unexpected, but either way it gives you a chance to catch up. And if this was a romantic bond or friendship that went wrong, you’ll see it in a new light. Perhaps you’ll both be ready for a talk, and this may lead to a gentle healing.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
If you’ve created a scheme in cahoots with someone, then it may need a reality check. This might come from friends who will likely have no qualms about telling you what they think. And although it could be easy to laugh off their advice, a little bit of reflection can reveal a key weakness. Resolve this and even if it is still not absolutely so you’ll still have a much better chance of success.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
No matter how much you want something to happen, the chances are this may not manifest as you want, and this is something you might need to accept over the days ahead. Instead look to be as pragmatic as possible and work with what is to hand. And edging forwards in a step by step and practical way, can see you be pleasantly surprised at what you achieve, Scorpio.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
An idea may sparkle with potential, and it could seem crazy not to go for it. You might be under an illusion though, even if it’s a pleasant one. Step back and tune into your intuition as it can have a different story to tell, and one it would be wise to listen to. A social group or club may attract your attention too, and joining might make for some uplifting and special times ahead.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
As Mercury and Venus connect in an intense chart area, you may question something you’ve wanted for a while. The desire to have and to hold could fade away and disappear altogether. This can be because you find something better to replace it. It may also be because you’re evolving and other options are more appealing – due to the fact that you’re gaining new insights.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Need to explain something? Be sure to get it right, as a mistake could lead to confusion and snafus further down the line. Make any instructions crystal clear and you’ll be fine, but if you fudge them, then you may have a lot of work on your plate to undo what ensues. Yet with lively lunar ties in play, a sparkling encounter might brighten your day, making it all feel worthwhile, Pisces.
