Astrologer Kerry King says turning to the stars during periods of uncertainty can help you understand your strengths and weaknesses.

So how will your sign influence your lockdown experience and which are the best signs for you to be isolated with?

Kerry goes through the zodiac and reveals all to Jenny Francis.

Aries

YOU swing from having mad bursts of energy to feeling tired and unable to focus.

You go from following a Joe Wicks workout, while simultaneously hosting a Zoom chat, to flopping into despondency on the sofa with a giant-size bag of cheesy puffs.

Finding the happy balance between the two is proving tough.

13

Your potent Mars energy just hasn’t got anywhere to go right now.

Channel it purposefully.

Competition gets you excited, so try online challenges.

This situation is a marathon not a sprint.

QUARANTINE COMPATIBILITY: Libras are oil to your troubled waters.

You liven them up while they calm you down.

And they know when you need a bit of help during those periods of low energy.

QUARANTINE CLASH: Virgos will be tough for you to isolate with.

They can be judgmental and critique bold ideas, which will make you defensive.

Taurus

HIBERNATION is not a problem for you because you love being at home anyway.

You are embracing it with hours of online shopping, takeaways, wine and scrolling social media.

So far, so good.

13

But you should beware of falling into a pit of indulgence, because after a while it could easily become the new normal.

Force some order into your day.

Try to get up at similar times every morning and make a meal from scratch a few times a week.

QUARANTINE COMPATIBILITY: Capricorns are protective of their things so they should respect your personal space and your belongings.

And you will do the same, preventing too many arguments.

QUARANTINE CLASH: You have no filters and are high-energy in lockdown.

This can disrupt your “me time” and drive you nuts with their relentless attention-seeking.

To get some peace and quiet, try taking a bath so you can shut them away for a portion of the day.

Gemini

ISOLATION is not something Geminis find easy especially as they hate boredom.

You will probably try to beat this by taking on too much.

13

Learning a new language, doing every Zoom quiz you’re invited to, impossible jigsaw marathons, 5k challenges, cake baking . . . the list is endless.

But while boredom is banished, you are finding you are somehow busier than ever.

Take a load off and allow yourself this time to fit in some sort of relaxation.

Get into something which helps time pass without you having to strain so hard ­such as free yoga videos online, chill-out apps or reading a book.

QUARANTINE COMPATIBILITY: Libra is a well-balanced sign and should be able to even you out and stop you being so go-go-go.

QUARANTINE CLASH: Cancer.

This star sign is clingy and needs attention.

During lockdown you will find them annoying and struggle to find your own space.

Cancer

YOU are a homely soul and love feeling cosy in your pad.

Whether it’s a slow-cooked meal, a nap with blankets or a cup of hot chocolate, you love that snuggled-up feeling – especially if you have a friend or partner to share the experience with.

13

Your inventive and lively imagination will always keep you company.

You are a natural care giver and enjoy looking after the other people in your home, but be careful not to smother them too much.

If you’re isolating on your own, share your empathy.

Volunteer as a phone buddy – people love talking to you, and you love talking.

QUARANTINE COMPATIBILITY: Pisces.

You both love sitting down for a good chat and are open about emotions making you very comfortable with each other.

QUARANTINE CLASH: Aries are jokers which means their boredom could see them making fun of you and playing tricks.

They also have no time for periods of calm.

Leo

YOU don’t like being at home for long periods of time, but if you have no choice, you are going to go for it.

TikTok dance routines every day? Check.

Virtuous living on Instagram? Check.

Zoom pub nights with your BFFs? Check.

13

Your social life has never been better and if you are set a challenge, you will go for it.

Use this time to sing, dance, prance and exercise your way through lockdown, and curb your craving for a social life by sharing it online and enjoying the interactions you get.

QUARANTINE COMPATIBILITY: Aquarius people are cool, detached and analytical – a personality that intrigues you.

Bonding over real-life crime dramas will be a nightly ritual.

You’ll learn a lot from them too.

QUARANTINE CLASH: Scorpios can cause problems.

They are super-confident but can be a little self-absorbed, and in close confinement this persona could rub you up the wrong way.

Virgo

ISOLATION? It’s more like a military operation for you.

You know how to get a good food delivery slot, you have a schedule of activities for each day, you have Marie Kondo’ed everything that’s not nailed down in your home and you’re up to date on Netflix.

13

But try to chill. Your mercurial mind needs more time and space to catch up on the emotional impact of recent events, rather than constantly distracting yourself.

QUARANTINE COMPATIBILITY: Other Virgos.

They understand how you can be hard on yourself – and a bit judgemental of others.

You can leave critical Post-it notes to each other every day and no one will get too upset about it.

QUARANTINE CLASH: Leos.

You both have busy schedules but they clash.

Neither of you likes it when the other wants to do something that interferes with yours.

It’s quite a mess.

Libra

DOES being in lockdown dampen your spirits?

Don’t be silly – of course it doesn’t.

Not while there is Wifi anyway.

You will use this time to socialise and share your skills with the rest of the world, whatever they are.

13

And you will do your best to find a positive to the situation – even if you are finding it tough.

If you are single, you will use this opportunity wisely to find love online.

Keep that positive mindset, but also allow yourself to feel sad or low sometimes.

It doesn’t mean you are failing.

QUARANTINE COMPATIBILITY: Like you, Geminis enjoy talking.

Whether it’s ranting about work or gossiping about neighbours, they will keep you busy and sane without you feeling as though you are bugging them.

QUARANTINE CLASH: As a Libra, you are known for procrastinating.

Capricorns will make this much worse by encouraging you to do everything possible.

Scorpio

YOU love a conspiracy theory and are filling your time making predictions and learning everything via the media about the crisis.

It’s good to have an interest in these events, but come out of the bunker a bit more to stop it becoming an obsession.

13

Chat, gossip and laugh with your friends and family a bit more on general aspects of life.

QUARANTINE COMPATIBILITY: Scorpio and Cancer are both water signs so you understand each other’s deep emotions as well as your need for privacy.

Ride the waves of everyday life in tandem.

QUARANTINE CLASH: Aries won’t enjoy your constant reminders of the situation unfolding, and their up and down moods can annoy you.

Sagittarius

YOU are the most social star sign, so any kind of confinement dampens your spirits.

You don’t feel yourself so are activating differently, trying new things as well as having periods of feeling low.

13

Go on a virtual global world tour. Get a map and pick the places you would love to visit.

QUARANTINE COMPATIBILITY: Leos are a high-octane, high-energy sign who can bring you up when you are feeling down.

Enjoy their energy and feed into it with your exciting future plans.

QUARANTINE CLASH: Pisces will hang on your every word.

It can be cute at first but annoying after a few days.

Capricorn

YOU are all business and, if still working in lockdown, will be beavering away at all hours.

You see life through a practical lens and are using your time, whether working or not, to brush up on professional skills, reinventing your career plan, or overhauling your home and garden.

13

You’ve got a big engine, big ideas, and need to keep busy.

Just make sure anyone you are isolating with doesn’t feel neglected.

QUARANTINE COMPATIBILITY: Taurus folk appreciate your need for tidiness, order and comfort.

They won’t interfere with your schedules and will be impressed with your work ethic.

QUARANTINE CLASH: Leos are creatures of fun and spontaneity but you will see this as chaotic.

They will get on your nerves and clashes will be inevitable.

Aquarius

YOU will be knee-deep in the human impact stories of this crisis and busy getting involved in improving life in your community.

You are worried about the future but are keeping busy to prevent it from getting you down too much.

13

Put your clever brain to good use by campaigning, communicating and feeling good about what you can do to help.

Just try not to over-worry.

QUARANTINE COMPATIBILITY: Leo, because it’s good to get out of your head and enjoy the physical world with delicious food and fun games.

QUARANTINE CLASH: Pisces can overwhelm you when you are feeling anxious or worried.

Pisces

YOU are not OK with lockdown.

Of all the star signs, you are the most thoughtful and empathetic, not only feeling your own emotions deeply but absorbing other people’s too.

You feel you’ve got a whole planet’s worth of angst on your shoulders.

One minute you are volunteering to deliver food, the next you are worrying you should be staying home instead.

QUARANTINE COMPATIBILITY: Cancerians mirror your emotions.

You can talk about your feelings rather than holding them in.

QUARANTINE CLASH: Geminis do not respond well to tears so you might find you are unable to be honest with them.

You will struggle with their need to be constantly entertained.
