KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
As you wrestle with an issue of conscience, think carefully about where your loyalties lie. You might be doing yourself or a loved one an injustice by taking the wrong side and underestimating possible outcomes.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Avoid rash responses and corner cutting. Results today are dependent on choosing your words carefully and paying close attention to detail. As the powerful Sun approaches your sign, the emotional scales start tipping your way.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Moon in your sign puts you in the emotional box seat. Apart from being attuned to your loved ones and zooming in on their needs, your own desires are more easily met. Just be wary of excess.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Now is the time to explore some of those intriguing issues. Your sector of social awareness is activated, pushing you to extend the boundaries and mix with a more diverse group of people or adopt worthy causes.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Inspired by passion you play favourites with people and pursue pet projects. And while at times your choices might be fickle, a renewed sense of purpose propels you forward. Expect to be the envy of others today.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
If a venture or relationship needs a kick-start you can count on assertive Mars. Refuse to take no for an answer and throw your weight behind whatever you believe in. Teamwork is your strong point today.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Be diplomatic rather than provocative when mounting an argument. Belief in your own opinions is admirable but you must also maintain a healthy level of respect for opposing points of view. Balance is the key today.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Generally speaking adversity brings out the best in your personality. While other people wilt under pressure you thrive on it, meeting daily deadlines with remarkable ease. Your single-minded approach is simply icing on the cake.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Bolster promises with action to illustrate how committed you are. A cause or relationship deserves your full attention, especially if you have let yourself or others down in the past. Take pride in everything you do today.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Events happen in random fashion but gradually the big picture falls into place. There is method in today's madness and despite the fact you prefer an orderly existence, flexibility is important if you want to succeed.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Gentle Moon and Venus have a positive effect on your relationships. An ease of communication brings better understanding, while newcomers who enter your life might provide that missing emotional link. Embrace differences between people today.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
You are the master of understated style and impress others with your subtle self-assurance. However you must try to keep your stubborn streak in check or the recent progress you made with someone will promptly be eroded.
YOUR DAY
Moon in Gemini produces quirky behaviour in even the most predictable people. And despite the fact brilliant ideas are formed during this lunar phase, they rarely come to fruition. There might be an abundance of creativity but common sense is in short supply.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
This year you prefer joint enterprises and shared experiences. Being part of a twosome brings a sense of belonging and rather than taking loved ones for granted, you feel privileged to be in their presence. Shouldering extra responsibility comes naturally.
