ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You will go directly to the heart of problems and may have little time for wishy-washy people. In fact, your drive and directness could result in faster than expected progress with, or greater profitability from a venture.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Someone with innovative ideas or a rebellious streak may inspire you to make a few quirky lifestyle changes. You will be curiously drawn towards unusual people and your mood is likely to be more defiant than normal.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
It may be difficult to pin people down and you should be wary of those who make misleading promises. You must research facts, check information and keep your finger firmly on the pulse to stay on top.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
As you leave a person or situation behind, you will quickly find someone or something else to fill the vacuum. You may move outside your usual circle soon and venture into unfamiliar but exciting new territory.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
A sensitive subject requires discretion and diplomacy, so be extra judicious when dealing with others. Your stars suggest a gentle approach will work well and less is best when it comes to revealing thoughts or feelings.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Comments or events may be taken out of context or the lines of good taste will be crossed. Despite the fact you are naturally cautious, you should be even more discerning today about the company you keep.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Your imagination may run riot and your emotions are in danger of bubbling over. Try to remain disciplined at all times and show others you are serious by following through on promises. Restraint and loyalty are the keys.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Use your intuition when dealing with people professionally or in private. There may be more to a person or situation than meets the eye, but an uncanny sixth sense helps you see through the pretence of others.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Although you may not achieve all your aims, the scales are slightly tipped in your favour today. Despite a recent setback for your sign, changing fortunes will gradually restore lost confidence and renew your faith in others.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Take a difficult situation one step at a time and the bigger picture will gradually emerge. Some of you may be given a second chance to prove your worth, while others embark on an ambitious financial venture.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
A strong sense of justice and fair play is needed when dealing with others. You normally have an innate ability to see situations from both sides, but it seems you will have to overcome bias and emotion today.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
There will be wins and losses for your sign, but overall you should come out ahead. You must avoid sweating the small stuff and attempt to make decisions from a rational rather than emotional standpoint.

YOUR DAY
It is important to play tough but clean today. Those who take a soft stance or fail to see the significance in situations will almost certainly be left behind and may lose face. Be professional and methodical in your approach, but stop at nothing to achieve the desired result. It may not seem fair, but most people will be judged on their achievements.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Your never-say-die approach to life will give you the winning edge over others in the next twelve months. You may persist with a venture until it is successful, persevere with a relationship that has been on rocky ground, or build on an asset base that was meagre at best.
