Taurus
April 21 to May 21
With the Sun in Gemini aligning with powerhouse Pluto in Aquarius, your desire for recognition is showing up. You’re craving validation not from vanity, but because you know you’ve got something solid to offer. It’s the perfect time to spotlight your strengths, step into leadership roles or get credit where it’s due. You don’t need to shout you just need to showcase what you do best.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
You’re great at making others feel at ease, which is why a little flattery can work wonders. Yet today’s line-up suggests this might backfire. The Sun/Pluto tie means someone could cut straight through platitudes and question your motives. Rather than dancing around your intentions, it’s best to be direct. Want something? Say so – don’t underestimate the power of simply asking.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Your intuition is finely tuned and you’re picking up on all the subtle signals swirling beneath the surface. Trust them, as they’re not just hunches, they’ll come directly from your inner wisdom. This isn’t luck, it’s more your natural gift for sensing what others miss. Acting on just one of these nudges could swiftly unlock a door you’ve been waiting to walk through for quite some time.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
The question of control could be on your mind over coming days. Whether it’s linked to a business issue, friendship or romantic bond, potential power battles require you to know where you stand. The current cosmic blend encourages you to reclaim your authority. If you’ve been compromising too much or feeling overshadowed, now is your chance to draw the line.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
As the Sun links to Pluto in a key sector, the coming days are all about refinement and recalibration. A personal goal or project may be reaching a turning point, making this a good time to tweak, edit or even overhaul your plan – if needed. Don’t shy away from seeking expert advice or guidance from someone in the know, as their insight could be the missing piece of the puzzle.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Any craving for something new and exciting can be strong, and daily life may not be cutting it. A chance to break free from routine could show up, and you’ll be quick to try it if it lets you stretch your talents and go for something fresh. It could be a chance to shine professionally or personally. Stay alert, as the right moment might arrive with a synchronistic flourish.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
With a Sun/Pluto aspect in potent play, one or more issues may be demanding your attention. This isn’t the time to sweep things under the rug or let pride win out. Staying on good terms with those involved and approaching conversations with a desire to negotiate is far better than not. And a compromise could be the key that opens a door, even if it doesn’t feel ideal at first.

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
You might be tempted to take the shortcut and skip a conversation to ensure fast progress, but your moral compass likely won’t let you get away with it. Your strong sense of fairness may be nudging you to do the right thing, even if it’s not the easiest route. Today’s influences encourage collaboration over solo flights, as discussion can smooth the path ahead and strengthen trust.

It’s time to treat your wellbeing like a long-term investment, because it really will be. The more effort you put in now, the more profound and life-changing the results will be. Whether it’s improving your fitness, streamlining your routines or addressing that lingering issue, small consistent steps can spark major transformation. Think of this as a personal upgrade, not a chore.

The Sun in Gemini syncs with Pluto in your sign, so you may be feeling an urge to outdo your best self. You might be ready to make a bold statement, take a daring step or launch a fresh idea that pushes you beyond your usual limits. It could nudge you out of your comfort zone, but that’s exactly where you’ll grow the most. Trust yourself, and don’t be afraid to shake things up.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
The cosmos encourages you to slow down, relax and recharge. Step back from the action and you’ll find that the inspiration you’ve been waiting for shows up. In stillness, your imagination will soar, and what once felt uncertain will click into place. Let rest be your new productivity habit. The more you unwind, the more powerfully that your next move will unfold.
