ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
If someone else has been calling the shots, now is the perfect time to seize back control. Assertive stars encourage you to stand up for your rights and demand more respect from the people in your environment.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Moon moving through your house of health, work and daily routine acts as a reminder that the right balance of work, rest and play is vital for your wellbeing. Be self-disciplined and set yourself a strict agenda.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Variety, love and friendship are there for the taking, but first you must work out personal priorities and then you must reach out to your loved ones. Deeper intimacy and greater pleasure will result from your efforts.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
A highly evolved sense of right and wrong guides you through the maze of moral choices. One decision you make soon is likely to have repercussions for the remainder of the year and you must act intuitively.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
An intriguing offer, ingenious idea or inspiring person could be the catalyst for a subtle change in direction soon. Fortunately your powers of observation, quick thinking and good judgement should ensure you make all the right choices.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
A project put on hold, stalemate in a relationship, or personal indecision could frustrate or worry you. However, life looks set to move forward next week and whatever ails you now will no longer be a problem.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
After a frustrating few weeks you may finally find your feet and will feel more optimistic about the future. Lunar energy inspires you to make long overdue changes and seek the happiness you so richly deserve.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
With the Moon poised to enter your sign, you must try to clarify your feelings and future direction. In the next week or two you will either make a fresh start or resolve to break bad habits.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Thanks to benevolent Jupiter and the sensitive Moon, you finally come to grips with an issue that has thwarted progress or the path to personal happiness. Once you feel more content, there will be greater family unity.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
The planets challenge you to bring a problem out into the open and resolve it once and for all. For months you have been burying your head in the sand, but finally you will face your demons.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Rather than accepting advice or going along with the majority vote, you will march to the beat of a different drum. And while your actions may cause conflict, there is nothing anyone can say to change your mind.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Although you may prefer privacy or autonomy, today's planets promote teamwork. Accept that you may have to reveal inner secrets or take orders from others, but bear in mind that success is forecast for your sign.

YOUR DAY
Current planetary trends work in favour of those who approach life in a light-hearted way or can laugh at themselves. More serious types may be frustrated their inability to get a message across or find an outlet for pent-up feelings. Creative, artistic and pleasurable pastimes will bring the greatest fulfilment, while mundane chores are likely to offer the least sense of satisfaction.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Whether your heartfelt desire is to travel, change your image or find a satisfying relationship, your chances are better now than in the past few years. Just remember that opportunity will not come knocking and you must pursue personal goals with a strong sense of purpose and self-confidence.
