ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
A tendency to project blame or avoid responsibility could damage your reputation and put pressure on close relationships. Be accountable, harness restless energy and you will be well on your way to reversing negative planetary trends.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Make sure your work, words and promises stand up to close scrutiny. The faultfinders may be out in force today and if you want to guard your good name, attention to detail is the most critical factor.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Someone special is waiting in the wings, eager to be brought into the fold. Once you embrace this particular person, you will become aware of the depth of feeling and respect he or she has for you.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Somebody may give you a dose of your own medicine, prompting you to change your approach or outlook. Karmic influences suggest old debts will be repaid while good deeds are likely to be rewarded. Heed your conscience.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Life may not stay the same, but rather than fearing change you can look on it as refreshing. Some Leos will take an important financial step soon, while others adapt to variations in routine or relationships.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Your mood may be indecisive or you will be worry unduly about an upcoming event. Fickle energy can be blamed for an attack of nerves, but the good news is your future looks rosy. Slow the tempo.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
As you enter an altruistic phase, random acts of kindness may see you giving or receiving special gifts. You might also take interest in a person or project outside your usual area of appeal or expertise.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You may achieve more in practical terms with your brisk and business-like manner, but should draw the line at complete emotional detachment. There is a standoffish aura around your sign that may give others the wrong impression.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
While it may seem anything is possible, you should be wary of hidden pitfalls. Your sign is gullible right now and rather than questioning people or situations, you could be inclined to take them at face value.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
You may think you have the upper hand in a situation, but should beware of acting smugly. Mistakes could creep up on you this week, or you might be caught unawares by a cocky or cunning opponent.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Someone close to you may have a conflicting opinion, but perhaps you can learn something by listening to what others say. You are the master of spin, but occasionally cross the line and tell white lies.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Rather than pushing thoughtlessly ahead with plans, consult colleagues, friends and loved ones. The stars render you ambitious, but at the same time you are urged to consider the consequences your actions may have on other people.

YOUR DAY
Rather than conforming to the agendas set by the people around you, act independently and accept the consequences. The stars favour creative solutions and those prepared to think outside the square or thumb their nose at society are likely to achieve the best possible outcomes. Conversely, a pack mentality will probably produce lacklustre results.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Your calm and gracious manner is reassuring to those around you. And in the year ahead you will play the role or adviser, mediator or teacher with confidence and composure. Meantime, Jupiter in the financial zone encourages you to think big when it comes to investments, family and holidays.
