Horoscopes: Tuesday, April 21

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)

Taking a holistic approach to health matters makes sense. Saturn in your zone of general well-being regulates the balance between mind, body and soul. As you begin to feel the benefits, self-discipline takes over.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)

A spirit of co-operation wraps itself around you. Others are willing to compromise and in response you go along with the consensus of opinion at work or home. The value of mateship cannot be underestimated.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)

Modesty becomes you during this laidback period. You are admired for your principles rather than productivity levels, yet you happily deflect praise on to others. Pragmatic thinking reduces the risk of mistakes today.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)

Your decisions are based on ethical considerations. Sun in the zone of truth elevates personal standards and helps protect you from the wiles of others. In addition, a sense of belonging fills an emotional void.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)

Behind-the-scene efforts begin to pay off. Whether you have been lobbying quietly on behalf of yourself or others, results and feedback start filtering in. You keep the momentum going through continued hard work.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)

A couple of false starts have not dampened your enthusiasm. Persistent planets are perfectly placed for second and third efforts in a project. Finding a new niche and learning from mistakes are part of your destiny.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)

In general you long for peace and harmony. More specifically, there are matters to settle with particular people and now is the perfect time to get aimless relationships back on track. Co-operation is your key word.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)

Trust is less of an issue today. Compatible forces merge and you take people or circumstances at face value rather than reading between the lines. Spontaneity provides some memorable moments and good social contacts.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)

Humility and humour help diffuse tension. You put the needs and feelings of others above your own rather than risk rocking the boat. Your mood and responses mirror those of people around you.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)

You look on competition as a personal challenge. The planets provide what is needed to succeed but you act quickly and decisively to maintain that winning edge. At best you're resourceful and at worst ruthless.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)

An initiative launched earlier in the year begins to reap rewards. You enter a less diverse cycle and become more business-like in your approach to people. Your mind resembles a steel trap today.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)

Absurd ideas seem to work. You are a pioneer in one particular field and despite the low probability of success, manage to achieve results others only dream of. When situations become murky, instinct guides you.

YOUR DAY

A little innovation goes a long way. People march to the beat of their own drum and throw ideas into the mix rather than working as a team. Personal space and privacy must be respected.

YOUR BIRTHDAY

You come full circle and start thinking about the immediate future. You believe change is inevitable but with time the luxury of time on your side, steadily set your own goals, tempo and standards.
