ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You may stand out from the rest, but will be reluctant to use popularity to your own advantage. With the Sun poised to enter your sign, work prospects, your social life and health are due for a boost.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
You should actively chase your dreams and pursue ambitious goals. The window of opportunity opens briefly for your sign and timing will be the key to your ultimate success. Use your network of contacts cleverly.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
You will relate better to and gain more from your casual contacts. Some of your close relationships could be suffering under the strain and past sins may catch up with you soon. Make amends slowly but surely.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
There may be extra activity at home or work as the Sun and Moon weave their own brand of magic. You may begin to feel closer to a loved one and will be keen to heal relationship rifts.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
With an emphasis on emotional issues, you could be inclined to over-analyse a relationship or your own actions. However using your intuition and taking notice of your dreams is the best way to solve personal problems.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
You may hold the balance of power in an argument, but should avoid taking sides. There are many black and white issues in your life at present, and it may be difficult to see the gray areas.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
A casual relationship may grow into something more meaningful or a long-ago romance could easily be rekindled. The spotlight falls on affairs of the heart, an area that has long been neglected and needs more attention.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Because you are a loving, loyal and empathetic friend, you will be prepared to overlook faults in others. However, you must avoid mixing with people whose negative energy may dampen your spirits or influence your mood.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Someone with a sting in his or her tail may hold a grudge or will actively seek revenge. Bitterness is not usually in your nature and you will find it difficult to understand this particular person's motives.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
While nothing will come easy, you are likely to get a kick out of pushing yourself to the limit. This pumped up attitude can be blamed on the moon opposing your sign, but Mars is also a contributing factor.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You could be inclined to distance yourself from someone in order to protect your heart from hurt. But despite using defensive tactics, you will eventually come to realise that taking emotional risks is the way to go.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
There may be a few unexpected twists and turns, but nothing you cannot handle. Fate is trying to steer you in a different direction and in all probability a decision will be taken out of your hands.

YOUR DAY
With the energy turning watery, there may be some knee-jerk responses today or people will over-react to seemingly innocuous situations. Take a backward step when confronted with a problem, issue, or challenge and allow time to investigate or explore the matter. Decisions that are made after much deliberation are likely to bring the best results and greatest peace of mind.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You could be inclined to ignore the advice of others and make your own way in the world. This pressing need for greater independence does not mean you will be anti-social or exclude your partner, but it may entail a fresh start. A new venture or get-fit campaign will be your priority.
