A touch-and-go day is in prospect as the Moon angles tightly to the heaven's current mighty stand-off between Saturn and Pluto. Tensions which have been simmering can burst to the surface, and you'd be wise to try to quell these. Someone may resent it if you try to organise them so it's definitely a time to take the line of least resistance.

People see the same subjects in different ways. Obviously our views are coloured by our past experiences, which vary from person to person, and this can naturally make us more subjective. If you think you are right about something today you are unlikely to want to back down but do you want to be seen as being holier-than-thou Taurus?

Do you see yourself as being evasive? No, of course not, you're just very, very quick-witted and people can take this the wrong way, yeah? However, you might surprise yourself and others today by being much more direct. In fact you can have an uncanny knack of focusing on what folk want to avoid. You can also find yourself wanting to uncover a mystery.

Will you take too much notice of people today or tend to read too much into their reactions to you? Or perhaps you'll want folk to sit up and take greater notice of you instead. Finding a balance between these two poles is going to be the trick. Do be sure not to be oversensitive, but you can't demand that others drop everything for you either Cancer.

If there is a perfectionist streak to your nature, it could come out today Leo. However, this can work positively and give you the push to roll up your sleeves and get stuck into a cleaning job or to get your paperwork up to speed. Others may pitch in to help too, but be less prepared to do so if you demand it of them. You may also feel more critical.

If you have children, especially younger ones, the state of relations between you, for good or bad, can be amplified. If it is good, you can feel heartened by their happy chatter and cheeky ways. However, if you are dealing with a wayward teenager, your frustration can be clearer. Yet, there is hope for a calmer phase - and sooner than you think.

The Moon passes over the powerful Pluto. This can intensify all sorts of emotions and for a more logical zodiac sign like yours, even remind you that not everything should be worked out through the mind, so do embrace your feelings. If you are happy in your home or work environs, the sense of this can intensify. If you're not, the same can also be true.

It is said that the pen is mightier than the sword. And it is true: words really do live on. After all, who will ever forget "Yes we can!" and this is something you will need to become more conscious of not just today, but for many years to come. Sometimes your words may get challenged, at other times you may want to challenge those of others Scorpio.

Even if you are an easygoing Archer, something can exercise you today more than it might normally do. This may be the whacking cost of postage on an item brought online, or a price rise on a commodity in the supermarket which seems totally unjustified. However, perhaps it's no bad thing that you are looking to make a stand or vote with your feet!

You can show great perception today and be very sympathetic too. Yet you probably will want others to reciprocate. If you just feel it is all one-way traffic you can soon lose interest. This is not you being egotistical but simply recognising that your needs are as important as anyone else's. You will also be able to soak up the atmosphere around you more readily.

If you have been mulling something over or preparing things on the back burner, a sense of change is in the air. You may be closer to beginning this new chapter than you realize, with the very fact that you have turned the page from the past suggesting that the future is the important thing now. Your mental energy is also set to increase many times over.

You can be particularly idealistic today. You'd like people to be as you'd wish, but this can make it harder for you to accept them as they are. Few of us are fault-free, and a friend can have an attitude that you don't like or appreciate. Yet you can have a powerful drive to choose your personal destiny. This can see you quite driven Pisces.
