Aries
March 21 to April 20
If you’ve been working hard to keep a relationship on track, then it could reach a key point where conversation becomes essential. And if feelings are tender, then tread carefully. What can make a difference is letting go of the need to be right. You may not be the one who started this and having the upper hand won’t help, but understanding why they feel as they do, could.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Despite your lively exterior you do have a sensitive side, and this may show up if someone seems annoyed. This could occur now or over coming days, and you’ll be more likely to say what you think. It might involve a domestic issue and household expenses, or the cost of a makeover or other DIY projects. Get an outside opinion from a friend or expert, as it will quickly resolve this.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
With Mercury and Mars aligning, your mind may be spinning as you attempt to find a solution to an edgy social issue. And it could be difficult to know what to do next. If there are powerful feelings involved, it may make things more awkward. Just let your instincts take over. Even if what you’re dealing with is embarrassing, you’ll know exactly what you should say, and why.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
It can seem there’s no way out of a financial dilemma, but you may have more options than you realise. If you’ve been thinking of cutting back on essentials and sacrificing those little treats, hold fire. Even if things are a little tight just now, avoid feelings of helplessness. A chat with someone you trust could give you fresh options, one of which might be perfect for you.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
With Mercury in Gemini linking to Mars in your sign, a conversation can be constructive – if you aren’t too critical of what someone is doing to help you. Be thankful that they’re caring enough to reach out and lend a hand. You’ll have a supportive lasting friendship if you show your appreciation with kind words or even a gift, rather than picking at any irrelevant details.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
You may be feeling an inner push to speak up, and what you say now could shift the course of your career or job situation. Whatever you have in mind, your words carry weight. Don’t second-guess yourself, as this is your chance to communicate with confidence and enough conviction to make an impact. Today calls for a dash of daring. Say it like you mean it, and watch doors swing open.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Your social life can be busy, and you might be asked to contribute time and energy to a key event. This may not chime with you any longer though, especially if you’ve been the go-to person who does all the hard work behind-the-scenes. If you sense that others are taking you for granted, then set firmer boundaries. Let others know how you really feel about this matter.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
With Mercury in Gemini aligning with Mars in Leo in your goals zone, you could become very vocal. If you have something to say you won’t back down, and if you have an idea to share, others will quickly hear about it too. You can use this aspect to highlight the positives or to criticise. Focusing on achieving something good and worthwhile may be far better though.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
If someone riles you and you talk back, it could start something that lingers. If you can shrug this off, then it may sort itself out over coming days, which is likely the best option. You may find that channelling some of this energy into exercise or physical tasks leaves you calmer. Or if you enjoy competitive sport, this too will help you to unwind and feel much better.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 20
Intense feelings may seek an outlet, and with Mercury in Gemini aligning with Mars in an intense sector, you might be keen to get something out into the open. Doing so could be a relief, especially if you’ve held onto this. But try not to be too hard on yourself. If you let your inner critic take over, you can feel a dip in confidence. Besides, it always helps to be kind to yourself.

Aquarius
January 21 to February 19
You and a partner or friend may have some lively conversations that could include everything you’ve wanted to say to each other for a while. This can be a great day to clear the air – as long as you don’t focus on all that’s wrong and forget to mention everything that’s good. Too much criticism might make things worse, but a constructive chat will be like pressing the reset button.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Lively debate may be par for the course today, as a Mercury/Mars tie can encourage you to say it like it is. You might want to let someone know how you feel, but if the atmosphere is really charged, then any conversation could become very emotional. Getting out and doing something different and unrelated like exercise will help you calm down and feel much less pent up.
