Aries

They say that travel broadens the mind, so if you find yourself restless today, you may visit holiday websites or a travel shop. Or perhaps you’ll want to kick-up your heels in some other, more spontaneous way. Planning a get together with friends, can also be a theme. Your ruler Mars is also stabilizing this week, suggesting that any plans made, can stick.

Taurus

This is a week for you to lick your lips in anticipation. Why? Your guide planet, Venus moves into one of the most positive of areas, a place where it is exalted, or shines radiantly. This is the planet of love and attraction and in this new location it can help you to feel more "in love" or soon draw new affection or social possibilities your way - just how can surprise.

Gemini

Jobs linked to sales, higher education, travel or digital activities can prove lucky for you now. Even if there has been a shortage of positions available generally, your professional star is set to be in the ascendant, so don’t be passive, put out your feelers and contact recruitment agencies and your job centre. The web can also throw up a possible role.

Cancer

The Moon holds a lot of sway over all of us, but perhaps no more so than a Cancer person. Today she asks you to get practical and to focus on the odds and ends that may have drifted off of your radar. Yet much more exciting plans or people can compete for your attention, understandably, so don’t try to do too much, you probably won’t finish it all.

Leo

You can feel reasonably upbeat and also take comfort that the nervous tension which has never seemed very far away this year, can start to lessen. Also take another look at everyday finances. You may see an angle to save money that you haven’t thought of before. Premiums can be reduced or utilities or broadband brought less expensively elsewhere.

Virgo

Exciting connections can be made, perhaps with people who share your current interests or those who can introduce you to new ones. You can become more interested in hearing the views of others, perhaps even people that in the past you haven’t always found it easy to get along with, so a time to put past frictions behind you. Try to be as availing as you can.

Libra

The playful side of your nature can bubble back to the surface this week, perhaps as soon as today and this could see you make some witty or sardonic comments. This can help you to deal with the daily grind with a lighter mindset. This is a good thing, because opportunities do abound – especially for implementing novel improvements to your home.

Scorpio

Uranus is a sign closely linked to Aquarius, and yet a little known fact is that this planet has a great affinity to Scorpio subjects, and especially if you are one of these on a roll and keen to make your life that much more exciting and vibrant this year. Today’s Mercury link to Uranus can only help this, but if you're stuck in your ways, it can act as a wake-up call.

Sagittarius

You can be a lively minded person, and this side of you can be particularly prevalent. Your tendency towards independent action is also strengthened. Yet if you change things at home before discussing this with those you live with, they may not buy into this with the same enthusiasm. However, a family member can enjoy a nice slice of financial luck.

Capricorn

An idea or concept that you've been enthusing about all year has up until now, received less support than you would have liked. But don’t be disconsolate, the very people who seemed so cynical can now come around to your view point - and how so. The sense that these are gaining traction can really take hold. By the middle of this week feedback can come.

Aquarius

Keep backing your hunches. You may not know exactly why you think something will work, but it can. It may require further research and a good deal of energy to finally get it off the ground. Another project you've been busy with can start to shape up nicely. If money has been a bit stretched Aquarius there can be a welcome lessening of pressure this week.

Pisces

This could turn out to be a magical week for you Pisces, but it does have the potential for some pitfalls too. Trust continues to be a big issue in relationships, so if you find yourself drawn to someone new, if you are already involved, ask yourself if this is something that will ultimately bring happiness or not. Some old paperwork can also be revealing.
