Aries
As the Sun cruises into chatty Gemini, you are likely to get involved in a spirited discussion in which you can explain your beliefs and values to other people. Not only will this help you to clarify what you think, it will also give others a useful insight into what really matters to you. On a more mundane note, this is a good day to return something faulty to a shop because you'll be able to put your case well.
Taurus
If a friend has been bugging you recently, you are likely to have a few sharp words with them today. However, least said soonest mended, so don't labour the point or turn them against you. Besides, you have better things to do with your time now, such as taking part in a big gathering of likeminded people or having a long chat with one special person.
Gemini
Even if you've been a bit of a wallflower lately, there'll be no stopping you now, especially if you're hoping to blaze a trail or act on your own initiative. The Sun in your sign for the coming month will also see a great time to bolster your self-confidence with activities that make you feel good.
Cancer
Your mind is working well, so give it plenty of exercise. You could get involved in an intellectual discussion that forces you to think things through for yourself, or you might have to do some serious thinking about a forthcoming travel plan. If you're often wary of saying what you think you'll feel much braver about speaking up today, which is good news if you want to fight your corner or express your point of view.
Leo
You'll benefit from spending time on your plans and dreams for the future. Instead of always thinking of these as things that might happen one day if you're lucky, alter your attitude and start thinking of them as things that will definitely happen. And maybe you could start the ball rolling by turning a modest wish into reality?
Virgo
Concentrate on your long-term ambitions and goals dear Virgo, especially if these will advance your career or enhance your reputation. This is your chance to be in the limelight and get yourself noticed, so don't be modest about showing off your talents and abilities. Your self-confidence will also get a boost, which could come in handy.
Libra
There's a real thirst for adventure as Venus and Mercury zip through lively Gemini, but the burning question is how are you going to satisfy it? Maybe you fancy taking off on a journey, whether it's through a holiday, a day break or a long weekend. Or perhaps you have got to stay put, but you're going to send your brain on its travels instead by increasing your knowledge. Opportunities are never far away, either, so grab them whenever you spot them.
Scorpio
You're in a spirited frame of mind today, making it easy for you to captivate people and make the conversation sparkle. This is just what you want if you're hoping to dazzle a certain someone or you want to impress a whole crowd of people. If you get drawn into a discussion or negotiation you'll have no problems in sticking up for yourself.
Sagittarius
With the Sun in your seventh house, the astrological emphasis is on your relationships, making the coming weeks a perfect opportunity to concentrate on partnerships and other associations. It's a great chance to take part in some teamwork, even if this isn't your usual style. It's also a marvellous time to make an emotional commitment to someone, such as moving in with them.
Capricorn
You're quick off the mark today, not only physically but mentally too. There are no flies on you, Capricorn, and anyone who tries to get the better of you in a discussion will soon have to retire to lick their wounds. It's not that you'll be rude or aggressive, simply that right now you can run rings around other people with a clever answer to virtually anything.
Aquarius
Your love life will blossom during the next few weeks, whether that means falling in love with someone new, enjoying a happy phase in an existing relationship or simply enjoying the company of some of your favourite people. There could be good news about a child or a forthcoming celebration, too, which will lift your spirits.
Pisces
Your mind is razor sharp today, making it easy to reach decisions and put your thoughts into words. Make the most of this articulate and brainy phase, especially if that means taking part in a discussion or putting your ideas down on paper. If you need to defend your opinions you'll manage to do so without sounding aggressive or dictatorial.
