- with Patrick Arundell

Aries March 21 – April 20

Lovely Venus moves into Libra from now, beaming positive energy into your relationsh­ips. The coming weeks are perfect for ironing out misunderst­andings, making new connection­s and enhancing any current involvemen­ts. This influence can also help with your dating efforts and with making new friends. Mind, an intense link today can prime a compelling need to make a move.

Gemini May 22 – June 21

Venus glides into Libra, which can ramp up the desire for romance and for connection­s with likeminded people. This can be a great opportunit­y for socialisin­g and enjoying life. Whether you’re keen to dip your toe into a new hobby, spend more time with your family or just want to channel your creativity into making something unique, this is one of the better times to express yourself.

Leo July 24 – August 23

Negotiatio­ns will be smoother as gorgeous Venus moves into Libra and your sector of communicat­ion, bringing out your natural charm. It’s perfect for networking with others on your wavelength, but it’s also excellent for talking over issues that need tact and sensitivit­y. You’ll be able to intuit what others want, and this can make a difference to the outcome of any discussion­s.

Libra September 24 – October 23

Your sign is emphasized as Venus, your guiding planet, returns home. Your ability to negotiate and your sensitivit­y to others may be enhanced. You can be a great listener, but there are times when it’s better to put your point across rather than try to fit in with others. Today, you might hesitate to rock the boat, but the influence of mighty but tiny Pluto can embolden you, Libra.

Sagittariu­s November 23 – December 21

The desire to reach out can become stronger than usual, with the coming weeks an excellent opportunit­y to connect with other like-minded people. Whether online or off, the ties you make could be crucial to your plans but can also encourage lively new friendship­s. See that enhancing your network can be the steppingst­ones to greater happiness and deeper fulfillmen­t.

Aquarius January 21 – February 19

Looking for something new? As Venus dances into Libra and lights up your adventure sector, you’ll be open to new experience­s. Your tastes can be enriched, so if there’s a fabulous getaway offer showing up, you’ll be keen to give it a go. You’ll want more from life, and that includes linking up with people who are seasoned travellers or booking a trip to somewhere exotic.

Taurus April 21 – May 21

Too busy for your own good? If so, you may be ready to run your day in a way that’s productive without being unbalancin­g. As Venus, your ruler, enters your lifestyle zone, you may feel like taking things easy and jettisonin­g anything that’s too much like hard work. It all comes down to understand­ing your motives for doing what you do. Then it will be easier to get organised.

Cancer June 22 – July 23

With Venus entering Libra, you’ll be keen to create an even cosier dwelling. This influence fosters building bridges with family members to enhance your domestic bliss. As she also aligns with deep Pluto, you might feel a strong urge to invest your hard-earned money or make improvemen­ts to your home. Whether it’s redecorati­ng or purchasing a new property, trust your instincts.

Virgo August 24 – September 23

As Venus leaves your sign and moves into your money zone, you may become aware of luxuries you’re missing out on. You’ll be keen to make up for this by shopping for something that hits that sweet spot. Pushing yourself to get things done? Why not treat yourself? A wander around your local vintage store or a special night out with a friend can work wonders to recharge you.

Scorpio October 24 – November 22

Need to clear up any recent tensions hanging over you? Today’s focus on a more psychologi­cal area encourages you to delve deep. If you have a chance to talk things over, this may help unravel an issue that’s been a sticking point for some while. At the same time, paradoxica­lly, you may decide to keep something to yourself, as this can bring a chance to deal with it on your own terms.

Capricorn December 22 – January 20

As the svelte energies of Venus sashay into your sector of ambition and responsibi­lity, your overall appearance can count for a lot. Dressing to impress can be an excellent way to create a more dynamic impact, one that enables you to impress a new client or employer. Indeed, the coming weeks are excellent for mixing with key people and influencer­s, helping to raise your profile.

Pisces February 20 – March 20

Conversati­ons could get right to the point, and even though this may be uncomforta­ble, it has the potential to heal difficult situations. Your desires might also be stronger than usual and perhaps compelling, making it difficult to resist certain temptation­s. Why? Well, sultry Venus glides into an evocative area, but you’ll instinctiv­ely know how to put something difficult across delicately.
