ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
An air of allure or confidence means others will gravitate towards you and follow your lead. Just be mindful that the example you set is a good one and that you get good value for money spent.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Venus provides the feedback you crave and helps fill an emotional void. You are entering a period of renewed hope and optimism, and will either speculate on a business venture soon or embark on a personal journey.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Adaptable by nature, you will happily fall into line with suggestions and changes made today. And with Mars dominating your adventure zone, some may take up an unexpected offer while others capitalise on a lucky break.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
With the Moon at odds you may be overly sensitive to the actions and words of others. You can either detach yourself from the crowd and engage in solitary pastimes, or try to develop a thicker skin.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
As you wrestle with an issue of choice or calculate your next move, think carefully about loyalties and priorities. Time may be of the essence and a sense of duty or responsibility could hold you back.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Avoid knee-jerk reactions and corner cutting, opting instead for a steady-as-you-go approach to situations and problems. You must also try to keep a lid on your emotions as fiery words could lead to emotional regret.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Moon in your sign puts you in the box seat emotionally, but may deplete your physical energy. Fortunately, you will know instinctively which moves or decisions to make and which people or situations to avoid.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
While you may be keen to explore an issue further, you will be reluctant to get involved with people or situations you know little about. With several planets at compatible angles, you can afford to be more adventurous.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Inspired by your passion for a particular person or project, you might call in favours, stimulate discussion or delegate duties in order to get some momentum going. Others may accuse you of over-enthusiasm.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
As the implications of a commitment, change or speculation sink in, you may start to lose your nerve. However, the potential you see in a new venture will help allay your fears and prompt you to continue.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Approach people in a conciliatory manner rather than being provocative. Moon in your magnetic zone suggests you will get what you want and garner more support if you turn on the charm, tact and diplomacy.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
You will thrive rather than wilt under day-to-day pressures, but may take exception at the way someone treats you. There could well be some underhanded tactics used to manipulate you or undermine your fragile confidence.

YOUR DAY
In a business sense this is a good day for negotiation, mediation and compromise. People may be more willing than usual to work together for a common cause or broker deals that have something for everyone in them. On a personal level, it might be difficult to get motivated or exercise willpower and as a result, deadlines and expectations will not be met.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You may be happy to drift along in life, but a wake-up call in the second half of the year reminds you what you are missing out on. Consult a romantic or business partner about the prospect of change, relocation, or a new venture and take the plunge.
