Taurus 21 April - 21 May... If you have been seeking a way to accomplish something, you may feel like redoubling your efforts to find a solution.

Gemini 22 May - 21 June... Ideas can flow regarding your personal plans, inspiring you to look to the bigger picture.

A few words might be in order just to let them know that you don't intend to wait too long for a response.

Leo 24 July - 23 August... If you have found yourself undecided about a relationship, then something can happen today that pushes you to make a move one way or another Leo.

Libra 24 September - 23 October... If you are looking for progress regarding an issue and nothing is happening, then it is likely down to an awkward tie between communicative Mercury and hazy Neptune.

Capricorn 22 December - 20 January... You could feel bad about wanting something as much as you do Capricorn.

Aquarius 21 January - 19 February... As Mercury aligns with beguiling Neptune in your money zone, take extra care when purchasing items or doing anything that involves sums of money.
