ARIES March 21 to April 20 DON’T promise or spend too much, as simple friendships matter most and will lead you to the right people and places. Clear space around you, both emotionally and practically. Passion is neutral on the surface but underneath it sizzles. An audience for your words is coming closer as each day passes. TAURUS April 21 to May 21 Prepare for a hot romance as Venus moves into your sign and gifts you with the moves to win (or win back) the lover you need.

Retailer seeks to cut fashion waste with children’s coats featuring reusable name tags John Lewis is tackling fashion waste by launching a hand-me-down drive with extended name labels attached to children’s coats that can be easily amended by parents. The department store chain is introducing organic cotton labelling inside its own-brand children’s coats so the new owner can cross out the name of the last person and write a new name. Coats have been chosen to test this labelling because they have a long life and are often the most costly garment for parents.

So this can be your moment to start a conversation that neither of you will want to end. A journey takes an unexpected turn and the way you handle it can open career doors.
