It's about experimenting, sketching possibilities, and trusting sparks of inspiration. Like any creative masterpiece, the first step is to begin.

It's not always easy to know how much to trust the voice inside our heads. Although its murmurs and subtle whispers are sometimes unmistakably clear, often there's more than one - each with its own perspective. And they often contradict one another. Aargh! The challenge today isn't about deciding whether to trust your inner voice; it's deciding which inner voice to trust. As your ruler, Venus, connects with Mars, your instincts and desires are aligning. If one thought keeps returning, it's the one worth listening to today.

'Stop banging your head against a brick wall.' It's the sort of advice we offer people when we think they're wasting their energy. Often, it's sensible guidance. But what if you find yourself backed up against a solid surface, with every other avenue closed - and you know, absolutely, that what you want lies on the other side? Should you just wait and hope the wall crumbles by itself? Or is it time to pick up a pickaxe? With your ruler arriving in Aries, before you walk away from something give it one final, wholehearted attempt.

These days, there are a mind-boggling number of ways to make coffee. Does a quick instant cup do the trick? Or do you buy from a specific roastery, and grind the beans yourself?

With so many opinions and options swirling around today, try not to get lost in theoretical discussions about minor details. In the Dark of the Moon, if you focus on what truly satisfies the need in front of you, you'll make excellent, exciting progress.

You're good at giving compliments to other people; but not so good at directing them towards yourself. And you're slower too, to cut yourself slack. Surely you deserve better than that? Some self-indulgence wouldn't go amiss either. But neither are likely to happen unless you make space for them. Under the Dark of the Moon, it's time to take credit for a recent achievement. The result might not be perfect. But if you give yourself some encouragement, you'll be in the right frame of mind to accept the gratitude heading your way.

Sherlock Holmes' brilliance was based on his extraordinary eye for detail. He'd notice grains of sand on a trouser leg, a faint bruise on a hand, or the suggestion of ink on a sleeve, and from these he'd construct an entire narrative - usually the correct one. With Mercury, your ruler, arriving in Aries, you've got all the information you need in order to make an astute assessment of a tricky situation. You haven't jumped to the wrong conclusion. So stop doubting yourself. Today brings a clue that reinforces an exciting idea.

No one has a perfect memory. Neither is it possible for us to remember every detail, consider every possible angle, or anticipate every possible setback. Nor can we catch and correct every accidental oversight. Yet this simple fact of life doesn't stop some people from acting as if they know everything. With Venus, your ruler, linking to dynamic Mars today, it's time to stop berating yourself for something that was never truly within your power to control. Instead, use that energy to focus on something that fulfils you. You deserve that. If today resonates, your full chart goes deeper. Discover what's shaping your path. Unlock your Personal Profile.
They say laughter is the best medicine. That the act of smiling triggers an inner shift. Even if we're dealing with a difficult situation, and the smile is forced, somehow it enables us to look at things from a different perspective. With Mercury (intellect) in Aries encouraging you to see from a fresh viewpoint, this approach could prove surprisingly helpful. If you feel as though you're dealing with something that's no laughing matter, try looking again. Find even a glimmer of humour, and clarity about what to do next will follow. Your timing matters. Your birth chart reveals when to act and when to wait. Get your chart today.
According to the law of averages, if you pursue enough eccentric ideas for long enough, eventually one is bound to succeed. That's the theory less-adventurous souls prefer to follow.

With Mercury, planet of ideas, in Aries, despite a recent wobble of self-doubt, you're about to see that the choice you made was inspired. Are you tired of guessing what's next.

There are days when we function at our best, and others when we can't seem to get into the right gear. In a perfect world, the cosmos would take these fluctuations into account, and only present us with challenges when we're ready to rise to them. But hey ho! Sometimes, it seems to do the exact opposite. Today, you'll be relieved to know that the Venus/Mars link brings a sense of calm. Phew. You've been dealing with a fraught situation. And even a brief moment of respite will be enough for you to see what to do to resolve it. You're more than your Sun sign. Your full chart shows why life feels the way it does.

There's such a thing as over-preparation. If we think something through too thoroughly, we can end up talking ourselves out of a genuinely inspired idea. And no one wants to do that. The problem is that it's not always easy to recognise brilliance while it's forming. With Mercury moving into fiery Aries, be prepared to think boldly today. You've been considering abandoning a plan. But before making that decision, give yourself a little more time. The idea you're questioning stands a very good chance of success. Give it a go!

If your prediction is supposed to tell you what's going on in your world, when the planets suggest your day's going to be challenging, would you prefer not to know? The truth can be uncomfortable; which is why there are so many ways to obscure it. The legacy of Mercury in your sign is gifting you with the clarity to see through a source of confusion. But to make progress, you need to acknowledge that a situation isn't working out as you hoped. Once you stop wishing it right, you can start to positively influence it. Understand yourself properly.
