> STARS: MECCA WOODS

Mecca Woods, a New York City-based astrologer and author, has taken over as Torstar’s horoscope writer.

If we’re in need of some cheering up and some good vibes, the opportunity arises for us to fulfil that need, as the day is ripe for fun and we’re urged to make playtime a priority in our busy schedules. Romance looks promising, too, as love bugs may be in the mood to cuddle up and singles in the mood to flirt. Creative efforts are also encouraged, as the day is abuzz with inspiration. Although, we’ll be most successful if we’re open to revisiting a missed opportunity, reviving an old idea, or rethinking our approach to a current goal.

ARIES

(March 21 to April 19)

You might be tempted to reconnect with an ex today. Sometimes revisiting the past can help you get clear on what you want for your future.

TAURUS

(April 20 to May 20)

As you continue to upgrade your way of life, your home calls for some attention, too. Holding a yard sale or thrifting some new decor may improve your space and peace of mind.

GEMINI

(May 21 to June 20)

If you’ve been creatively blocked, the wheels begin turning again. Progress also flows when you follow up with folks due for a check-in. A second chance could reveal itself.

CANCER

(June 21 to July 22)

A pending money matter could finally be resolved, especially if you’ve been waiting on money owed to you. If making a financial decision, don’t rush it.

LEO

(July 23 to Aug. 22)

Reuniting with an old friend brings you the mood boost you’re seeking. Nourishing your friendships nourishes you, too. A misunderstanding with a friend could be amicably resolved.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)

Expect to press pause on a project or goal, as you need more time to prepare or gather info. Taking time out to rest can be productive.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)

You might have a vastly different viewpoint from everyone, but that’s a good thing. Don’t just stick with the status quo. Be the individual you are.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)

As you focus on your goals, finances are spotlighted. Look to renegotiate a job contract or an agreement with your bank. If partnered, it may be time to revisit a money conversation.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)

You might be ready to hit the ground running with a big idea. Get feedback or help from someone you trust before you take off.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)

It’s a good time for clearing out the clutter, emotionally and environmentally. The attention you give to your well-being matters just as much as the attention you give to work.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)

Love is spotlighted as you’re called to pause and reconnect with your sweetie. Attention from an ex could be fun but short-lived. A savvy collaboration could bring a creative breakthrough.

PISCES

(Feb. 19 to March 20)

If you’ve been putting something off, it’s a good time to tie up loose ends and handle any outstanding business. A family member could use a helping hand; reach out.
