TAURUS
April 21 - May 21
You want to be effective. You're trying to assess a situation, figure out why it's not working, and come up with a plan that will set everything right. Then, you'll be able to move onto your next project. So the pressure is on. You don't have much time. And people have high expectations of you. Well... if only it was that simple! Annoyingly, you seem to be dealing with more criticism than support. Be patient with anyone who doesn't understand your idea. And keep explaining. You'll win them round to your way of thinking soon.

GEMINI
May 22 - June 22
If we close our eyes and ears, we can't see or hear anything. And we've all got situations we don't want to deal with, facts we don't want to face, memories we want to keep stored away, and issues we don't want to talk about. But if we're stopping ourselves dealing with reality, it's inevitable that we'll run into communication difficulties; we dance around sensitive topics and emotional issues. Today, your retrograde ruler's link with Venus brings the confidence to share an important issue with someone who can relate and understand.

CANCER
June 23 - July 23
As retrograde Mercury links to Venus, pay close attention to what you hear today. Someone in your world is trying to tell you something important. And if you don't pay close attention, you might miss it. But listen too, to a voice with a similar message that's coming from your heart. It's easy to look at what's happening and think you've understood; it seems to follow a familiar pattern. But if you're attentive, you'll see it fits a different pattern too. It's by staying open-minded that you'll get the clarity to make a perfectly-timed decision.
There are powerful changes in store for you soon. What are they? How can you best prepare for them? Find out in a full horoscope birth-chart. It's full of amazing predictions about you and your future. Get yours now.
LEO
July 24 - August 23
Truth is relative. We might both witness the same event, but our accounts of it will differ. Factors such as our role in the proceedings, our view of what happened, even how we were feeling at the time, have an effect on what we perceive. So, since no one knows what the complete truth is, the best we can do is be true to our own sense of it. The dilemma you face would be much simpler if everyone agreed on what's good (and what's not). If you know it's impossible to arrive at a 'true' picture, you can encourage a good compromise.

VIRGO
August 24 - September 23
Sci-fi writers use a literary technique which enables creatures from different parts of the cosmos to communicate. They might not speak the same language, but they find ways to understand one another. When human beings find themselves in unfamiliar territory, unless we find someone to talk to, we feel unsettled. With your ruler, Mercury, retrograde in your sign, you're having some communication issues. As it links to Venus today, you can find someone to share with. And that will have a big effect on how you're feeling.

LIBRA
September 24 - October 23
We were talking yesterday about the dangers of sticking to a successful formula; that sometimes our tried, tested, comfortingly familiar methods get in the way of us experimenting with new ideas. These entrenched behaviour patterns exist in all areas of our lives. Remember the game kids play when they won't walk on cracks in the pavement because the monster will get them? When the monster doesn't appear, it seems to prove their plan works! You can banish an imaginary monster today. Be bold and playful today.

SCORPIO
October 24 - November 22
Social media, and TV/movies idealise people's lives. We want our world to be like the world we see on screen. And when we compare ourselves to people who appear to be leading a charmed existence, we come up short. Not only that, but we create our own narratives; sometimes we ignore our problems and pretend things are better than they are. But if we refuse to see a problem, how can we fix it? Today's Mercury/Venus link encourages you to take a reality check. A tricky situation is easier to solve than you think.
Now is the right time for you to take an in-depth, up close and personal look at your life. To get your full horoscope based on your date, time and place of birth, click here.

Are they basing their judgement on facts? Are they being fair? Today's link between retrograde Mercury and Venus brings a chance to change a relationship dynamic. By giving someone a chance to tell their side of the story you'll be able to reassess your feelings about them. You might be surprised by how much you have in common.

CAPRICORN
December 22 - January 20
When you ask people for their opinion and you receive different advice, how are you supposed to work out which guidance to follow? They all seem to know what they're talking about. And they all seem to know what you should do. But communication is a complex process. It's about sensitivity as much as certainty. Think about who listened most closely to what you said. With retrograde Mercury linking to Venus, you can take time to digest the info you've received. This decision is yours to make. Don't respond to pressure.

AQUARIUS
January 21 - February 19
Someone's got the wrong end of the stick. No matter what you say, you can't make them see the truth of what's going on. What's more, they're so convinced that what they know is 'right' that you're starting to doubt yourself. Yikes. Yet their inability to grasp the reality might end up working in your favour. Don't lose sight of what you know. And suppose you try seeing this issue as a blessing in disguise? Somehow, in the process of having to recheck your own approach, something positive, that you haven't considered, will unfold.

PISCES
February 20 - March 20
Sometimes an inability to communicate arises because we're too tired to listen. Or we're too busy to properly explain what's going on. And if life's so hectic that we can't find time to say that we've got no time to talk, we can seem rude. Today's Mercury/Venus link brings a chance to explain your behaviour to someone you've been struggling to talk to. Somehow, with so much going on, you've been less sensitive than usual. By showing them understanding, and daring to be vulnerable, you'll find a good way forwards.
