Today’s Mercury-Uranus pattern is one of those supremely magical planetary alignments that favours dreams and imagination, but lays out banana skins for those who allow confusion to creep in. Poetic aspirations come first and practical goals may have to wait.
Venus, your ruling planet, is teaming up with Saturn in a pattern which gives all sentimental, self-indulgent and creative Taureans a welcome shove in the right direction. But you may have to voluntarily renounce one commitment, if you are to make the space for a much better one.
GEMINI HOROSCOPE TODAY: your main priority should be extra self-control
We’ll start off with the good news: your stars are extremely prosperous. But here’s the downside: romantic chaos and inspired confusion may be great fun but could result in costly mistakes. That’s precisely why your main priority should be extra self-control.

CANCER HOROSCOPE TODAY: you can still be easily provoked
The typical Cancerian is a peace-loving creature, but you can still be easily provoked.

SCORPIO HOROSCOPE TODAY: you may rub your hands with glee at what is just around the corner
You’ll soon have a new and brighter perspective on the immediate future. In fact, if you’re a typical mainstream Scorpio, you may rub your hands with glee at what is just around the corner.

You have little understanding of other people’s intense feelings. You may even be rather bemused by this week’s emotional events and general air of hysteria. Unless, that is, you have been here, done that and got the tee shirt. Experience counts for a lot!
CAPRICORN HOROSCOPE TODAY: Take other people at face value
Your emotional and romantic stars could not be better, so, if you’re in difficulties, the key lies in your own complicated expectations and too high standards. Take other people at face value and assume that they are being straight with you, at least for now.
AQUARIUS HOROSCOPE TODAY: winds of change will be blowing, gently at first but then with great force
The winds of change will be blowing, gently at first but then with great force. By all means relax, but retain a guarded approach to all developments, not just those which are obviously dodgy.
