KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Someone acknowledges your efforts and provides a much-needed ego boost. After months of input and selflessness, you deserve the praise and reward coming you way. Accept it graciously, but also put it into context.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
As you make the transition between old and new, expect some nostalgic moments. The timing is appropriate, but because you typically resist change a settling-in period should be allowed. Take baby steps and remain optimistic.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Put indecision aside and honour a plan or promise. There may be a tendency today for you to sit on the fence or chop and change plans to suit your own whims. Loyalty in relationships is priceless.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Despite being caught in the middle, you will be an excellent mediator and negotiator. In a departure from the usual state of affairs, yours is likely to be the lone voice of reason today.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
The people you team up with have a bearing on your happiness. Gravitate towards like-minded friends and avoid those who are bossy or negative. Some wonderful ideas may come from casual conversations, so pay close attention.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Rather than seeking an escape your problems, confront them head-on. It needs to be said that wherever you go, your troubles follow and the sooner you face the music the happier you will ultimately be.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Keep your composure and repeat positive thoughts to yourself. Your ruler Venus is trying to stir up trouble in the domestic area, but with a cool head and self-belief you can nip potential problems in the bud.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
If you are anxious about deadlines, draw up a timetable. Moon in laidback Venus makes it more difficult than usual to concentrate, but by tackling assignments one by one you can achieve all your aims.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
You hold sway over others and can call in favours. This is a special time in your life and the future looks rosier now than it has for a
couple of years. Enjoy it with a clear conscience.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Encouragement to speak from the heart sees you opening up to others. Somewhat reclusive by nature you are unaccustomed to airing your feelings in public, but with help from Venus you are steadily gaining confidence.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You have every reason to believe the future is looking brighter. Nonetheless you must continue working towards change, letting go of worn out situations and relationships in the process. Nothing in life lasts forever.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Rather than taking directions from others, march to the beat of your own drum. Mars prompts you to break free from those negative influences and take a stand for the principles you truly believe in.
YOUR DAY
The energy is lazy, but there is also an air of goodwill. Today's key to harmony is listening to what others have to say without imposing your own prejudice. Take a reality check occasionally, especially if there are pressing deadlines to meet and chores are piling up.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
You have learned the hard way that nurturing yourself is important. Putting the past year's difficulties behind you, exploit the positive energy from Jupiter in your sign to further your own cause. Make formal rather than casual commitments and expand your current boundaries.
