Aries

If you're a typical Arien you already know that you've got quite a temper, and it's certainly on show today. What's wrong? You're operating with hair-trigger reflexes, so if someone annoys you you'll immediately let them know. Be careful when handling financial matters because they'll make you especially impatient and irritable

Taurus

Today  promises you a host of benefits and treats.For a start, there could be some wonderful news about someone who's very special to you. And a close relationship could also go from strength to strength. If you're looking for a new love, you might meet him or her any day now, so keep your eyes peeled

Gemini

You're feeling impoverished, emotionally or financially. Something seems to be lacking in your life, and it's making you miserable. Try not to imagine that things are worse than they really are, because that will be a recipe for making yourself utterly miserable and also casting a damper over the mood of everyone around you

Cancer

If you don't want to waste your time, you would be well advised to avoid starting any new domestic projects, because they won't amount to much. Instead, concentrate on ideas that are already in the pipeline. Ideally, you should also set aside plenty of time in which to rest and relax in some favourite and familiar surroundings.

Leo

There's a certain amount of friction between you and a loved one today and it looks as though money is at the root of the problem. Maybe one of you wants to buy something and the other one disagrees, or there's a clash about the cost of a social event. Try to stay calm and keep things in proportion, otherwise you'll soon get very agitated and take it all very personally

Virgo

The more reliant you are on your daily routine running smoothly, the more likely you are to feel jangled when things go wrong today. Yes, it's one of those irritating days when plans fail to work out in the way you hoped, and even simple tasks have a tendency to go haywire. Maybe you should give in to all this and do something totally different for a change?

Libra

This is the perfect day for having a good look around your house and garden and deciding whether you need to spend some money, if you have any! For instance, you might realize that it's time to shell out on some DIY or renovations. You don't have to spend masses of money, but this is definitely a good time to make some wise investments

Scorpio

Once again you're in a rather tetchy mood, and ready to lash out whenever you feel that someone's getting at you. You're using words like weapons, but do you have any idea how sharp and penetrating some of your comments can be? Think before you speak or at least apologize if you hurt someone's feelings by being too critical

Sagittarius

Confusion reigns today, so beware.... You're so susceptible at the moment, that you'll be heavily influenced by what people tell you, even if you'd normally ignore every word they say. Concentrate on creative matters, in which you'll excel, and ignore anything that calls for careful thought because that isn't the way your mind is working

Capricorn

This is one of the nicest days of the month, with social activity and some very enjoyable encounters with special people. It's perfect for any sort of party or get-together, and there's no doubt that you'll be one of the stars of the show. If you've been wondering whether to take a modest gamble, it could pay off surprisingly well now. Good luck!

Aquarius

You're drawn to the unusual today, especially if you see it in a shop or on an internet site. You're in the mood to splash out on impulse buys and items that you wouldn't normally want, and it will be very hard to stop yourself handing over your cash. Some of these purchases could turn out to be great fun or highly innovative, but they may also be rather expensive.

Pisces

The key to happy partnerships is to do your utmost to meet others halfway. Be kind, considerate and ready to compromise when you think it's necessary, and see the difference it makes to your relationships. So instead of being all geared up to stand your ground come what may, make an effort to understand the other person's point of view
