  Aries21/03 - 20/04

  We're never going to know whether (or not) the chicken preceded the egg. So why bother thinking about it? Such philosophical quandaries make great brain puzzles, but in terms of intellectual endeavour, there are better ways to use our time! Talking about questions we're better off avoiding, the big one, today, involves blame and responsibility. Since nothing positive will come from pointing fingers, take a deep breath and rise above a contentious issue. Do so, and you'll smooth the path towards a Happy New Year.

  Taurus21/04 - 21/05

  We know the words to the most successful charity singles. They've gone down in the annals of music history. When a pop star lends their name to a worthy cause, it's a great way to garner support and raise funds. But there can sometimes be a whiff of self-promotion about these endeavours. If not embarked on in the right way, they risk turning their cause into their own advertising vehicle. And that doesn't look good or feel right. As your ruler links uncomfortably with Mercury, ensure any generous gestures are heartfelt.

  Gemini22/05 - 22/06

  You sometimes find yourself having an internal argument with an inner persona. You ask yourself a question, and give yourself the answer. Then you respond to what you think you've heard. Yet no actual conversation has taken place! This might sound slightly ridiculous, but it's something we all do. It helps us prepare ourselves for real conversations. Today brings an opportunity to have an honest, real life dialogue about something you really care about. Just make sure you don't second-guess what's being said.

  Cancer23/06 - 23/07

  One of the effects of feeling anxious is that we can end up identifying potential problems in simple situations. Opportunities start to look threatening. An invitation turns into an obligation. Since a recent event has made you feel defensive, it's important to take a moment to remember that you're a sensitive, yet courageous individual who's entitled to expect a good outcome to every mission you embark upon. There may be obstacles in your way, but you can rise above them. Don't worry. You're definitely on the right track.

  Leo24/07 - 23/08

  Why does it sometimes feel like Groundhog Day? That no matter what changes, or how many positive steps forwards we take, we don't make progress? We seem to be repeating the same gestures and just hitting our heads against a brick wall. We might not even notice this pattern for a while. It takes repetitive disappointment to make us notice there's a problem. If what you're doing isn't working, it's time to rip up the rulebook. It might not be obvious, but there's an innovative way to proceed. Look hard and you can find it.

  Virgo24/08 - 23/09

  Would you object to being 'big upped' today? Could you sit down and enjoy hearing your praises being sung as your qualities and attributes are acknowledged? Don't worry, I'm sure anything 'less-than-perfect' would be overlooked. What's that? You don't think you deserve to be seen in a positive light? I'm not trying to flatter you, or encourage you to indulge in a moment of self-glorification. But as your ruler Mercury makes a challenging link to Venus, if you experience a misunderstanding, you need to stand up for yourself.

• 

  Libra24/09 - 23/10

  Do you need a hug? Don't panic! Not from me of course! Oops! That doesn't mean I didn't want to give you one! Have a hug! Under the influence of Mercury's tricky link to your ruler, Venus, there's a possibility of misleading signals today. And you could do with a physical display of affection. Fortunately, as long as you're aware that signals could easily be misread, there's a very good chance that you'll get the support you need. If you're as clear as you can be, a generous gesture, from a surprising source, is possible.

  Scorpio24/10 - 22/11

  Many self-help philosophies work with the idea that if you can imagine yourself in a situation, it will manifest in your life. Picture yourself owning a house with a swimming pool, and before long you'll be living in one. In true life, of course, it's not quite so simple. Yet there's still an element of truth to this approach. If you focus on how poor you feel, you become more aware of your limitations. And less able to see the opportunities. Since generous people always have something to give, be generous (even if you don't feel it) today.

• 

  Sagittarius23/11 - 21/12

  How is it possible to be right and wrong at the same time? Think about the dreadful conflicts we see on our screens. War is wrong. Yet, many of the people going into conflict believe they're fighting for a just cause. To them, not taking action is inconceivable. They believe they're risking their lives for a right and fair reason. It's a huge dilemma, which regrettably we still wrestle with. And sometimes, even though we're plagued with doubt, we have to commit ourselves to a course of action. You might have to do that today.

• 

  Capricorn22/12 - 20/01

  Do you ever do something and then wonder why you did it? It happens to us all. We try to explain it away. We tell ourselves that we meant to do it. That it was what we planned to do. We don't want to admit we made a mistake - because that would, we think, make us look weak. Yet, since we all experience such errors of judgment, you'd think we'd be able to get over our embarrassment and be honest about what really happened and how we really feel. You can take steps to make good on a past error of judgment today.

  Aquarius21/01 - 19/02

  The comedian Harry Enfield shot to fame playing a character with the catchphrase 'You don't want to do it like that'. He played on traditional stereotypes - the kind of people who can't resist finding faults with everyone else's decisions; while pretending to give them helpful advice, he would make them look ridiculous. The joke always finished with the victim reacting to his patronising methodology. Under the effect of the tricky Mercury/Venus link, make sure you don't fall for a similar set up today. Keep your wits about you.

  Pisces20/02 - 20/03

  'We come into this world alone, and we leave it alone'. This saying has been repeated by great thinkers and philosophers over the years. But why? I mean, it's not completely true is it? For starters, we require at least one other person to make it into this world! And our paths are intertwined with other people's from our first day to our last. You're perfectly positioned to influence the path a key relationship takes. Even in this tricky cosmic climate, your will, and your ability to shape and share your future, is greater than you think.
