Opening up and sharing something personal could be the key to deepening an important relationship. Honesty and connection will help bridge any gaps and bring a sense of harmony to the bond.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
The idea of escaping to somewhere pleasant for a few hours could give you something to look forward – especially if work and life have been demanding. With other influences urging you to aim higher and embrace wider opportunities, it may feel like a lot to juggle. And yet a plan to eat at a restaurant you know or to head out to a more exotic venue could prove really uplifting.

Need a break from your daily schedule? Give yourself some leeway and consider breaking up tasks with activities that can energise and inspire you. A stroll in pleasant surroundings, or a coffee with a friend can make the day more interesting and enjoyable.

August 24 to September 23
This can be a day of loving gestures and pleasant outings. You may feel like doing something for others that will give them a boost. Sending flowers or taking that special person out for a meal or to an exhibition could lift your mood too. This is one of those times when you won’t expect anything in return, but your thoughtfulness can make everyone around you happier and uplifted.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Wish your life was easier? If you are currently experiencing difficulties, then it may be because you need to set firmer boundaries. The Sun’s link with Neptune suggests you may feel guilty for saying no to those who may have been way too demanding recently. A combination of influences tells a different story, suggesting it’s much healthier to be honest and say it like it is.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
A sensitive approach to an issue will allow for a solution that works for all. You may be clear on what you hope to gain, yet taking others’ needs into account could send a positive signal that you are thinking about them too. Your caring and respectful attitude can make way for uplifting developments. Yet, there’s one matter you won’t compromise on, which is as it should be.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
This is no time to be too modest by keeping your talents hidden from the world. As 2025 gains pace you may benefit from being enterprising and offering your services to others, even if only on a volunteer basis to begin with. Once your confidence develops you might feel justified in charging and enhancing your cash flow. A vivid dream could inspire you with a brilliant money-making idea.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
If you have tended to keep your feelings to yourself recently, the coming days can see you being more open about them. With the Sun aligning with the ethereal Neptune, it can even seem you have gone too far, leaving you prone to criticism. And yet your openness could cause a positive shift in a situation that others are reluctant to discuss. It could encourage them to speak out too.

January 22 to February 19
If you’ve been busy helping others, then a delightful blend of energies hints that it is time to turn your attention to yourself. The stellar backdrop suggests doing something that lifts your spirits and nurtures your soul. When you give back to yourself you may notice how revitalised you are and how this simple act can leave you feeling more enthusiastic about the days and weeks ahead.

You could feel a connection with someone that seems to go deeper than usual, even if you have only just met.
