ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
Extra tact and diplomacy may be needed in a business or romantic partnership.  If you want to get an important point across, remember to argue your case rationally rather than using emotional language or subtle manipulation.

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
Rather than giving up if you fail first time around, be prepared to have another go.  Tenacity may not be a strong point, but if you put your head down and dig your heels in, success will come.

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
Because the emphasis is fun, leisure and romance, you can afford to let your hair down and show off your extroverted side.  Relationships formed or nurtured now are likely to flourish and will be long lasting.

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
People who are self-serving, unreliable or superficial should be avoided at all costs.  The planets favour self-sufficiency for your sign and suggest you will work more efficiently if you remain isolated or go behind the scenes.

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
A previous statement or decision may prick your conscience and prompt you to recant your words or actions.  On the flip side, you will empathise strongly with others and may offer a helping hand or sympathetic ear.

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
It may be time to trim your budget or increase earnings in order to make the money go further.  Avoid spending on luxurious or frivolous items and consider putting something aside for a rainy day.

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
Your artistic side may be unleashed, prompting a fresh approach to problems, projects and relationships.  You will also resent being tied down or forced to toe the conventional line.  Expect to ruffle a few feathers today.

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
You may have to overlook flaws in friends and family members in order to keep the peace.  There is an air of intolerance around your sign, suggesting the actions of others will annoy you more than usual.

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
An unexpected chain of events may bring about eleventh hour change, but in hindsight you will see some benefit.  External events play a big part in your day and it is important to remain flexible.

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
Work issues and your reputation come into sharper focus, so be aware of your image and actions.  You may have to sacrifice time spent on personal issues to protect your standing in the work place or community.

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
Moon in the daring part of your chart provides the perfect launching pad for a new venture or strategy.  The full effects of change may not be felt until mid-year, but you can start by building strong foundations.

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
A generous spirit will go a long way toward achieving harmony in relationships.  Allow the people in your immediate environment a little extra leeway and try not to impose your standards or ideals on other people.

YOUR DAY
The lunar energy continues to waver, making it difficult to choose or decide on different options.  Social activity will flourish and relationships are likely to be more cordial than earlier in the week.  However, it will pay to keep things simple and where possible avoid working under the pressure of deadlines.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
There may never be a perfect time to make a decision, but rather than procrastinating you should ask for help.  Supportive people will help steer you in the right direction this year and teamwork could be the key to success in a financial, creative or long-distance venture.
