Aries

March 21-April 19

★★

Saying no to someone you love and admire is difficult, but a mature partnership asks you to honour your limits.

Taurus

April 20-May 20

★★

When you pour your heart and soul into every day, it’s hard to receive negative feedback — or worse, silence.

Gemini

May 21-June 20

★★★

Joy is rarely pursued for its own sake — and that’s a shame. Be patient with those who miss the point.

Cancer

June 21-July 22

★★★

Your home offers a peaceful sanctuary away from the heavy-handed rules of public authorities — but they both need each other.

Leo

July 23-August 22

★★★

Some institutions are so strictly regulated that even your finest manners will not be able to soften the perimeter.

Virgo

August 23-September 22

★★★

It would be a delight to keep everything you earn, but you have obligations to others and must share.

Libra

September 23-October 22

★★★

If a partnership feels like its dimming your shimmer, an objective evaluation of the exchange is fairer than the vibe.

Scorpio

October 23-November 21

★★★

You are forgetting that you are an amazing magical unicorn and seeing yourself through greige-coloured glasses. Take them off.

Sagittarius

November 22-December 21

★★★

The social invitations and collective accolades mean nothing if you feel you must contain your individuality. You can have both.

Capricorn

December 22-January 19

★★★

Your professional relationships have exposed some personal concerns around ethics and responsibility. Perhaps this is the price of success?

Aquarius

January 20-February 18

★★★

Upholding one’s principles is easy until that position is questioned by a disgruntled challenger. Ivory walls don’t always reflect light.

Pisces

February 19-March 20

★★★

A penny saved is a penny earned — or a penny to pay down your loan. Hard limits offer delayed reward.

The flavour of the day:

Justice versus authority.

Your birthday message:

Optimism creates opportunities.

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