Today’s daily horoscopes

You are annoyed, Aries. The decision can wait. The Moon squares Mars today, shortening the journey from an unpleasant feeling to something you will have to explain tomorrow. Leave the matter alone until you can say what would improve it. Somebody noticing how much you dislike the present arrangement is unlikely to be the entire answer.

Check the size of the indulgence against the actual disappointment, Taurus. A difficult mood can make compensation look wonderfully reasonable. The Moon clashes with Jupiter today. You may get some pleasure from spending more than you intended; the original irritation is unlikely to contribute anything towards the eventual cost.

Somebody’s enthusiasm needn’t be matched by a larger promise, Gemini. Listen without adding something you’ll have to provide later. Today’s Moon–Jupiter square encourages a generous response. You can be delighted for the person while leaving the practical consequences of their good mood safely in their own hands.

The Moon squares Mars, and a small intrusion could feel remarkably personal. Say what you need, Cancer, before making somebody guess why their company has become unwelcome. They may be able to give you some space. Requiring them to recognise the need without being told will mainly give you another reason to remain irritated.

You’ve been challenged less than you think, Leo. Somebody has a different priority, which is inconvenient enough without treating it as an assessment of yours. The Moon clashes with Mars in your sign. Give them room to continue with their business. Your attempt to restore the proper order could become the most embarrassing part of the exchange.

Wait until the irritation settles before deciding how much work needs redoing, Virgo. A small defect can look like evidence that nobody has paid attention. You might make the repair quite quickly. A full account of how it could have been avoided will take longer and is unlikely to leave the result appreciably improved.

The occasion has been arranged, Libra. Find out what is actually missing before enlarging it for somebody who sounds disappointed. Today can make an adequate effort feel oddly insufficient. If the missing part is merely more enthusiasm, consider whether supplying it must always involve another expense of your own.

Your displeasure has been noticed, Scorpio. Congratulations. You could let the useful objection be heard now, before demonstrating how much more unpleasant this exchange might become. There is very little distance between feeling and action today. A stronger demonstration will certainly give everybody something to discuss, though perhaps less about the matter you raised.

A poor hour doesn’t require a better version of your whole life, Sagittarius. The Moon squares Jupiter, making dissatisfaction expansive. Deal with the modest thing you can change today. You’ve sometimes planned a very impressive departure merely to avoid admitting you were tired of a commitment you had been delighted to make.

Keep the mistake in proportion to the work still going well, Capricorn. Somebody’s irritating choice may deserve a correction. It hardly requires you to reconsider whether anybody is capable of being trusted. You can give a clear instruction without making the afternoon a demonstration of how difficult everyone makes your responsibilities.

The person enjoying something you dislike has not asked for a defence of your taste, Aquarius. Leave them their pleasure. Today’s Moon–Jupiter square can turn a difference into an unnecessarily large judgment. You’ll have a much better chance of enjoying your own afternoon if you stop appointing yourself to improve theirs.

Let them be a little disappointed, Pisces. You can hear the response today without making an immediate offer to compensate for your answer. Their feelings may settle quite adequately on their own. Then you would have to explain why you were so eager to revise a decision you had finally managed to make clear.
