ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
The jury may still be out on whether you should cut your losses or attempt to salvage a situation. Allow time to ponder options and possible implications so that you have the best possible chance for success.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
An issue that has been uncertain is likely to be resolved in your favour soon, allowing you to move forward in life. This is a fitting time to reassess your goals and discuss plans with loved ones.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
The cloud of pessimism that has been hanging over your sign will gradually begin to lift. Some of you may reach new levels of understanding with a loved one while others receive positive feedback from their peers.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Sudden developments in a close relationship mean you will see a loved one in an entirely different light. You might make a commitment or promise, or perhaps sever ties, but a burden is likely to be lifted.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
A shift in attitude has you looking at situations differently and you will begin to unwind as you put a problem behind you. Expect new information to come to light that helps in the resolution of an ongoing issue.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Affairs of the heart figure prominently in your chart, with some saying goodbye and others welcoming a new addition to the family or re-establishing contact with a person from the past. New relationships will be long lasting.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
If there has been a problem in the area of communication, tensions will soon ease. Someone who has been withdrawn may come out of his or her shell, or you will have a sudden change of heart.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
This is a good time to consolidate finances, make career decisions and counsel younger people. The planets foreshadow a breakthrough and provide the motivation, know-how or element of luck that has been missing for your sign.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
There may be implied criticism from a loved one or a hint of disapproval from your peers, but you will take comments in good faith. You have a knack for seeing the best in situations and people.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
With planetary energy favouring expansion, there may be new avenues or relationships to explore. Ambition and success go hand in hand in the months ahead, so initiate changes confidently and exploit your natural talents.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
After some initial teething problems, a new venture will begin to show positive signs. Your doubts and fears are likely to fade away as you begin to grow in confidence and become more proficient at a task.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
With the accent on partnerships, you may form a new business or romantic relationship in the weeks ahead. As a team, your talents will complement each other, ideas should flow freely and mutual benefits are likely to result.

YOUR DAY
Thinking through decisions and gauging the feelings of others could prove difficult today. The idea is to slow down, watch for subtle signs and avoid impulsive moves. Try to put on a polished performance when in public, but do not be afraid to let your guard down in the privacy of your own home. Look at the big picture.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
It may seem to others you are deliberately skirting issues or avoiding change. In reality, you are probably pondering your options before making a move. The planets see you being both deliberate and cautious, even though you sense a life chapter is coming to a close.
