ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Rather than setting unrealistic goals or insisting on all your own way, adopt a more relaxed attitude to life. The energy is fairly light-hearted and you will fare better if you skim the surface of situations today.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Keep the big picture in mind rather than getting hung up on trivia or detail. You may find it difficult to work or interact with certain people and it may be better to play a lone hand today.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
If your ego has taken a battering or you have fallen from someone's good graces, expect to regain the upper hand. As the powerful Sun enters your sign, anticipate a popularity boost, improved communication and greater clarity.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Rather than taking an aggressive stand on a particular topic it may be in your best interests to back off. Even if you win a battle, there is no guarantee you will be the long-term victor.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
A chance encounter or unexpected offer may have a significant impact on your life. Look below the surface and you will see that seemingly ordinary events could actually be important turning points for you and your family.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
A shift of emphasis to the material sector means there could be talk about money, your creature comforts or intimate relationships. The key is to balance common sense with extravagance and be reasonable with others people.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
One of your relationships may be strained, but this is not a good time to confront loved ones. The lunar energy makes you more sensitive and suggests you will say or do the wrong thing.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
With Moon in fair and just Libra, you may be more prepared than usual to give others the benefit of the doubt or a second chance. However, you could also be inclined to gloss over important issues.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
If you are bored by your routine or a relationship, try making small adjustments to add variety. Someone in your close-knit circle may make a timely suggestion or will motivate you to capitalise on a talent.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Avoid promising more than you can deliver, despite the pressures placed on you by others. You should just work steadily at your own pace and make decisions that have been rationally thought out in consultation with an expert.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
A surprise or sudden turnaround in a personal relationship may help boost your flagging spirits. And if you have fallen into a rut recently, the compatible planetary energy will encourage you to spread your wings.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
You may be reluctant to express your emotions, yet will expect others to reveal innermost thoughts and feelings. Give and take is important in relationships, and the setting of double standards will almost certainly backfire on you.

YOUR DAY
Moon in Libra may make people hesitant, but it also promotes happier relationships. Where possible, major decisions should be deferred until next week and more time should be spent fine-tuning details. Keep interaction with others on a polite or superficial level and try to avoid unpleasant subjects or controversial topics. Creative pursuits and artistic talent are highlighted in today's stars.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Your competitive spirit may be stronger and you will strive to make an impression or win a contest. There is also restiveness in your chart and the next few months might see you taking a trip, changing jobs, or relocating. At the very least you will add variety to your life.
