Aries
March 21 to April 20
Feeling a hint of jealousy or envy from a friend? It might be wise to give them some space, as Venus facing off with Pluto can stir up intense emotions. This cosmic clash can leave you puzzled about the root of these feelings, and you might never fully uncover the mystery. If so, try not to fret as this storm is likely to blow over quickly and things should return to normal by next week.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Emotions could intensify, and it may be over something quite trivial. For some reason someone might be getting under your skin and causing you to get worked up. Mind, a more benevolent influence can help take the sting out of things by encouraging you to see the lighter side of the situation. Ask your friends what they think, especially if it all seems to become too serious.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
Sometimes the art of letting go is more beneficial than you might think, and right now the stars are nudging you to drop what’s no longer serving. You may be inspired to say goodbye to a long-held belief or a project into which you’ve poured your soul, but trust that this is a necessary release. Clinging to what’s fruitless only denies you the riches waiting just over the horizon.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Feeling pressured by someone? Compromise isn’t your only option. Stand your ground and insist on respect before you proceed. There should be no concessions without courtesy. Today’s intense Venus/Pluto alignment might also stir up a deep desire for something or someone that you can’t resist. Take a step back, as sometimes the best insights come after the storm, not during it.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Your sunny nature might encounter unexpected hiccups today, as an aspect can remind you that life isn’t always a party. You could find yourself wrestling with passionate emotions due to situations beyond your control. Don’t let this dampen your spirits, as this too shall pass. Very soon things will become more advantageous, proving that every cloud has a silver lining.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Some of your relationships are blossoming beautifully, showing vibrant promise and just ripe for further nurturing. Focus your energies on these fruitful connections that fill you with optimism. Even so, if someone’s motives feel murky or overly controlling, trust your finely tuned instincts. Your instinctive feelings are your best guide. You know best who deserves your time and energy.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
You may be tempted to take on someone who’s no pushover but with a challenging and harsh aspect to the fore any tussle you have may not work out to your advantage. This is one time when your diplomatic side could be of great use to you. Whether you back off or try to negotiate, do so with as much grace and tact as you can muster. It’s possible they’ll be a lot friendlier if you do.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Caught in the web of worry over a slip of the tongue or a mistake? It’d be easy to spiral into a fretting and envisioning a disastrous fallout. But take heart, as things are likely not as dire as they seem. It’s possible that despite your concerns, the person you’re fretting about likely isn’t bothered. It’s time to release that breath you’ve been holding and let any pent up anxiety dissipate.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
You may be edging towards an obsession. If so, the trigger, Venus’s showdown with Pluto, is a fleeting cosmic event and what feels like a burning inferno could cool to an icy indifference quite soon. This aspect might also reflect your fluctuating enthusiasm for a coveted item or goal. One moment it’s the object of your desire, and the next it’s just another trinket. Stay cool – the tide will turn.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 20
Desire may clash with financial reality, so you might find yourself scheming to snaffle that must-have item, regardless of the cost to you. An intense cosmic tug-of-war could push you to try creative, yet risky gymnastics, tempting you to juggle your budget in dangerous ways. Take time out to reflect. Before you leap into fiscal recklessness, consider the aftermath first.

Aquarius
January 21 to February 19
Someone close might be blowing up a minor issue, perhaps viewing it through a distorted lens. While you may be tempted to clarify things, consider if intervention is truly worth your energy. If they seem overly confrontational, it can be smarter to sidestep the drama altogether. You have far more enriching ways to spend your time than dealing with any unnecessary conflicts.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
As Venus opposes Pluto across your work axis, you may be prone to fears, doubts and compulsive ideas that aren’t based on reality. And it’s possible to be so competitive that you end up making a task a chore, rather than what can be enjoyable. This intense aspect can make you prone to worrying what others might think out you. If you want to do well, you need to relax.
