KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Sometimes you rush through life without taking stock of how far you have come and where your life is heading. However if you retrace your steps it will become clear why destiny has brought you to this point.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Make commitments and promises with an open heart. Loved ones expect the most from you during the holiday period and if this means sacrificing some of your own needs, at least others will be happy.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
If a crack appears in a close relationship, fix it straight away. You may have a blind spot today and it will be easy to overlook what appears obvious to others. Be more objective in your assessments.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Someone who thinks differently deserves a hearing. Moon in your zone of partners encourages you to lend a sympathetic ear and work on finding practical solutions to problems. Your innate sixth sense also comes in handy today.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
You may have to rely on your wits to navigate difficult passages. Keep your head up and eyes on the horizon, but most of all remain composed. Moon in common sense Capricorn is the ace up your sleeve.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
A fortunate turn of events brings closure to a crisis. And with the powerful Sun poised to enter your zone of enjoyment, life will be more light-hearted in the days ahead. Tie up loose ends.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Your bubble may burst, but better times lie ahead. Take time to recover from a drawn-out situation and you will emerge with your sanity intact. There are subtle differences today between genuine grievances and self-pity.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Social activity revs up, but the happiest times will be spent with people you have known a long time. You are almost at the point when your communication with other reaches its peak for the year.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Look for a suitable forum before airing your dirty laundry. Inappropriate behaviour will be frowned upon today and there is a danger others might lose respect if you speak out of turn. Mind your manners.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
If you fear missing a deadline, call for help. It may be in your nature to battle on and maintain independence, but stubborn pride can be counter-productive in urgent situations. Lower your defences today.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Make the most of your opportunities or time will beat you. Moon in hard-working Capricorn encourages you to take care of practical tasks and also make decisions on behalf of others. Adopt a hands-on approach.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Reopen the lines of communication with a lost friend or loved one. This is an excellent time to get relationships back on track by taking the initiative and practicing forgiveness. Others will appreciate your efforts.
YOUR DAY
Moon in high-minded Capricorn brings people to heel. Protocol should be properly followed today and ethical behaviour in relationships is a must. However, the line between principled and pompous behaviour will be a fine one and extra care must be taken not to cross it.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
A person or past experience that conjures up wonderful memories could suddenly come to mind. And while history can never be rewritten, there is nothing wrong with retracing your steps in an attempt to recreate happiness. Contact with a lost love is on the cards.
