Aries

March 21-April 19

★★★

Your financial security feels stable until a persuasive friend or compelling social encounter introduces an alternative way of thinking.

Taurus

April 20-May 20

★★★

You start the morning confident and comfortable in your own skin — then an ordinary work day tests your emotional resilience.

Gemini

May 21-June 20

★★★

You’re in your Zen zone, alone and unbothered, but intellectual intrusions will create some healthy friction for spiritual growth.

Cancer

June 21-July 22

★★★

Friendships and social gatherings offer the potential for unanticipated intensity. Everyone has a backstory, and sometimes the facade drops.

Leo

July 23-August 22

★★★

You power ahead at work but not everyone is comfortable with your steady progress. Acknowledge others as is appropriate.

Virgo

August 23-September 22

★★★

When your health and daily responsibilities make life complicated, you look for comfort and reassurance in your spiritual beliefs.

Libra

September 23-October 22

★★★

Superficial relationships are often the easiest because we can default to shared cultural conventions. Today brings you emotional depth.

Scorpio

October 23-November 21

★★★

Your enduring feelings for a partner give a glimpse of the obsessive undercurrents you prefer to keep hidden.

Sagittarius

November 22-December 21

★★★

Daily life is humming along smoothly until a disturbing word or thought intrudes and distracts. Settle yourself with a snack.

Capricorn

December 22-January 19

★★★

Play can be serious business. You show no mercy playing Monopoly with the kids as a brutal lesson on capitalism.

Aquarius

January 20-February 18

★★★

You have planned a perfect day at home but, try as you might, you can’t relax in such relentless stability.

Pisces

February 19-March 20

★★★

Comfortable words and familiar conversations lull you — then a psychological truth drops through the small talk. Silence follows.

The flavour of the day:

An uneasy calm.

Your birthday message:

Friendship is an emotional anchor.

Key: ★★ Challenging ★★★ Encouraging ★★★★ Excellent
