Today’s daily horoscopes

“They ought to know” will not tell them what you need, Aries. You have another chance to put the request clearly before your temper tries to express it on your behalf. Ordering people about until someone guesses correctly has produced remarkably poor results. I appreciate how thoroughly you have tested the method. Try a direct sentence while you still feel capable of one.

Enjoy the company, Taurus. An agreeable exchange deserves a little time before you begin investigating what the other person wants from you. The Sun is close to Venus, allowing some warmth into an old concern. You can resume looking for ulterior motives afterwards, if a pleasant afternoon leaves you feeling insufficiently vigilant.

The Moon trines Mercury, making an omitted detail easier to explain and harder to pretend is irrelevant. You know the part you have left out, Gemini. Your listeners deserve the opportunity to understand what happened before you accept their agreement as proof that you were right. Tell them while they are still inclined to take your account seriously.

Your silence has already established how little people understand it, Cancer. Another silent evening spent watching them struggle will prove the point quite reliably. There is a better chance of finding words today, with the Pisces Moon supporting Mercury. Say what is bothering you while you can explain it, before deciding they have failed another examination they knew nothing about.

What do you actually like, Leo? Something could please you without improving your standing in anybody’s eyes. Find out what it is before consulting the usual opinions about what suits you. You have listened to those so carefully that I am curious whether you can still recognise a preference of your own. An afternoon without an audience should settle the question.

They have heard the circumstances, Virgo. Try allowing your own decision a brief appearance. An explanation you owe someone is easier to put into words today, provided you do not spend the opportunity explaining why you had no choice. Your account has given every other influence a fair hearing. The person listening is still waiting to discover what you decided to do.

The Sun joins your ruler Venus, offering a little ease in company. Allow the conversation to interest you, Libra. You are liable to miss an agreeable person while checking whether they are having a sufficiently agreeable impression of you. Listen to what they are saying for a while; their opinion of your performance can remain unconfirmed until the evening ends.

You have waited for someone to confess to a grievance you have barely named. Consider how much time this ingenious arrangement requires from a person who thinks you are discussing something else, Scorpio. It is easier to explain the matter today. Make use of that clarity before offering another hint and settling in to judge how badly they have missed it.

Let them finish, Sagittarius. Preparing your reply throughout the explanation is a reliable way to keep your opinions exactly as they are. Mercury’s dispute with Jupiter leaves you attached to the larger argument, but there is room to understand an unfamiliar account today. Someone whose view you dislike might have a point. You will need to hear it before deciding.

One civil conversation is unlikely to destroy the reputation for severity you have taken such pains to establish, Capricorn. A well-judged kindness might get this exchange further than firmness. Try it before explaining why the other person should listen. They may be more willing once you stop making agreement feel like something you intend to enforce.

Before explaining the whole arrangement’s shortcomings again, decide what you would like to happen. You have described the problem in remarkably abstract terms, Aquarius. A plain preference would give somebody a better chance of answering. It involves a little more exposure than an analysis, which may explain why we have heard so much more of the latter.

Say less than you understand today, Pisces. An accurate impression gives you no special permission to announce what somebody is not ready to discuss. The Moon in your sign favours Mercury, bringing feeling and understanding within reach of one another. Be discreet with the advantage. Proving how perceptive you are would mostly reveal how much you enjoy being right.
