THURSDAY FEBRUARY 26th

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)

As Mercury prepares to turn retrograde, you begin to feel the strain and delays kick in on a work issue which you were so very close to completing. Don’t be afraid to ask for help from those who have been where you are before you. It’s what can make what you dabble in temporarily something permanent.

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)

You are not sure if you can rely on others to live up to their words spoken, but you know you have to try. Try not to confuse what others did to you in the past with what is happening now. The two faces concerned could not be more different if they tried.

GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)

You’re not sure whether to love or hate Mercury at the moment. He helps you but makes for a rough ride and one where you have to live on your instincts. Money that others can’t give must be sourced from elsewhere, while you still have the time to find it.

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)

Don’t pretend that you can accept a version of what you’ve asked for. You’re lying to yourself if you do. News of a change in a younger person's life gives you reason to want to step in and guide them and you’d be right to. You play the role of counsellor and parent.

LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)

If you set a standard for others, then it must be one which you are also willing to live by, or you’ll be cast as a hypocrite. Others plans change at the last minute, which opens up the chance for you to mix business and pleasure as never before.

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)

Mercury stations retrograde in Pisces and you need to prepare yourself mentally for what’s ahead. You know that there will be the unexpected but that doesn’t mean you can't be ready. You prepare by doing what’s possible and by being ready to do the impossible too, especially in the name of love.

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)

Yes, it is possible for a sign such as you to love someone but not like them all the time. It’s the reason why you haven’t parted ways. Today, a close one walks a thin line if they don’t keep respect and manners to the fore.

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)

Believe you can and you’re half way there, Scorpio You tried working to others’ beat, but it didn’t bring out the best in you. The more alternative paths you take in your life, the more success you will find as you finally feel your way to the life you want. Work you do for free helps you rank better professionally.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)

You’ve found it hard to focus on what’s needed in recent days, as a personal matter takes precedence in your heart and mind. You can’t get the answers you want just yet, but that doesn't mean you won’t get them. Beware asking others what they think when you know you see things from your own angle.

CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)

Mercury forces you to slow down and pay attention to detail. Beware looking for faults, but instead look for the good in what others are doing. It’s how you’ll avoid turning a minor difference into a major one today.

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)

Friends can tell what you’re thinking just by looking at your face, so don’t even think about giving them a version of events today. Standing strong with and for who you work for, does much to cement your place professionally in the days ahead.

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)

You’re not going to apologise anymore for who you are, or what you want. You see with ease now that those who are meant to follow…will, and those who do not, were never meant to be the whole story. Easy money links to a gift you gave up using, but which is your key to choice and freedom.
