Aries

Even if you are normally lacking in confidence, the planetary influences now can give you a boost. There is a silver lining in every cloud. Everyone will be happy to pitch in together, without too much aggravation. Don't get carried away by your enthusiasm or promise more than you can deliver.

Taurus

The atmosphere around you now stimulates your intellectual curiosity. If you want to talk, exchange ideas or travel, you will find that you get better responses than usual. You want to flirt, have fun and aim for pleasure and entertainment. Your self-confidence and social charm are extremely heightened at the moment, so makee the most of it.

Gemini

As Mercury dashes into your sign all kinds of communication -- talking, writing and listening to people -- will go very well. Whizzing around a lot, it's hard to settle down and pore over boring details. Personal space is very important in your domestic environment. However, being a Gemini, you simply must have an open house policy, so that your extended family and friends can come visiting on a more informal level.

Cancer

You want to be flexible and meet new, stimulating people and this is a morale-boosting time for you. Suddenly you are able to see that what has held you back in the past has been your own narrow outlook. It wasn't down to ill luck or life being difficult as you thought. Your confidence in your ability to communicate well is growing. Your everyday life and contacts are easier as a result. You will be amazed at your new tolerance.

Leo

You are coming up with some good ideas and acting on intuitive hunches which turn out to your advantage, as Mercury enters clever Gemini. With Mars in Virgo, money has been easy come, easy go. Are you spending as extravagantly as you acquire it? Try to be more disciplined and save a little so you can be more financially secure in the future.

Virgo

Everything in life seems more fortunate than usual because Mercury starts to twinkle in your 10th house of career and public standing, counteracting some of the trouble that Venus might stir up. With Gemini on the cusp of your 10th house, you will always have more than one career path to go down, so follow your bliss and let the Universe take care of the rest.

Libra

There's a great deal of good conversation going on, now that Merc has cruised into chatty Gemini. Inspiration and strength are appearing now which you never knew you possessed and these will help you through the stress and strains of everyday routines. There are wise ones who can help you understand yourself better -- you just have to find them.

Scorpio

You are attracted now to loftier subjects such as philosophy or religion which look at society in a much broader kind of way. You have a real knack for putting others at their ease and your happy optimism makes you very popular. Just be aware that new friends can be of the fair-weather variety and may not last through stickier times. So keep a firm grip on old friends whose loyalty is tried and tested. They may not be so vibrant but they will always be there.

Sagittarius

Mercury heading into Gemini brings a sense of confidence and optimism now, Archers. You are feeling good about yourself and about what you are saying to other people. Look ahead, there's a rosy glow on the horizon. Anything you turn your hand to should work well, though the more effort you put in the higher your rewards will be. Stay out of the law courts if you can.

Capricorn

As Mercury sets off into your sixth house you'll be ready to focus on improving your health and working environment. Venus retrograde may create some difficulty in your relationships with co-workers, making it even more important for you to find positive ways to release stress and stay balanced.

Aquarius

Mercury zips into your fifth house of romance and creativity, introducing you to a phase of artistic inspiration. This is also a good time to communicate with the children in your life, who may experience difficulty as Venus turns retrograde.

Pisces

Your enthusiasm is lovely and infectious, but don't get carried away. Earth to Pisces, hello... Try and be sensible if you possibly can. You expect everyone to be as honest as you are, which can set you up for disappointment. Mercury's move to Gemini helps you communicate with your household. This will be helpful as Venus moves through her retrograde phase, making it even more important for you to share your thoughts and ideas clearly and openly with your family members.
