This week we’re helping you align your planets with paintings. Check out the artist whose style suits your star sign!

Taurus (20th April – 20th May) – John Constable

You’re a realist Taurus, and so was Constable. No blue sky thinking in his paintings.

Gemini (21st May – 20th June) – Norman Rockwell

Stop gossiping Gemini, you might end up in a Norman Rockwell painting …

Norman Rockwell knew how to deal with gossips. #normanrockwell #arttok #arthistory #edutok #americanart

Cancer (21st June – 22nd July) – Mark Rothko

You’re an enigma Cancer, reading you is harder than reading a Rothko painting.

Leo (23rd July – 22nd August) – Marina Abaramović

Virgo (23rd August – 22nd September) – Johannes Vermeer

Your patience is a virtue Virgo, and Vermeer knew it too, he was known to spend years working on a single painting.

Libra (23rd September – 22nd October) – Florine Stettheimer

Stettheimer’s dainty artworks are almost as charming as you Libra!

Scorpio (23rd October – 21st November) – Paul Cézanne

Cézanne was loyal to his subjects (he painted 81 versions of Mount Sainte-Victoire), like you Scorpio, sometimes he just couldn’t let things go …

Sagittarius (22nd November – 21st December) – Hilma af Klint

Take a break from all that overthinking Sagittarius, let Hilma do the philosophising instead.

Capricorn (22nd December – 19th January) – Piet Mondrian

Take a leaf out of Mondrian’s book Capricorn, channel that pragmatism into a pioneering art movement.

Aquarius (20th January – 18th February) – Georgia O’Keeffe

Hopefully, your pals won’t take your need for alone time personally Aquarius, maybe you just find inspiration in solitude, like Georgia O’Keeffe.

Pisces (19th February – 20th March) – Natalia Goncharova

Your intuition is powerful Pisces, like Goncharova, you know there’s usually more to a situation than meets the eye.

Aries (21st March – 19th April) – Jackson Pollock

Pollock turned his passion into paintings, leave that fiery energy on the canvas Aries.

I take my time at each installation, finding comfort in noticing that many older women have brought along young girls to the Women in Revolt! exhibition at The Whitworth
The Whitworth’s latest exhibition, Turner: In Light and Shade, features a decent-if-hampered collection of the 19th century great’s works
Art galleries are a place to walk in silence together or alone, seldom feeling lonely. They are some of the most romantic spaces I have been to. As February is the month of Valentine’s, I took the liberty of going on a hunt to find the most romantic pieces of art in Manchester
Opening its doors for one day and night only, the Interim exhibition will mark a new beginning just before the anticipated end for third year photography graduates at MMU
