KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Events bring you back down to earth but life it is not wholly serious. Ruling Mars remains the ace up your sleeve, instilling energy and ideas whenever you run dry. Balance realism and recreation equally today.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Draining people and situations leave little energy remaining for self-nurturing. The key is to follow bouts of interaction with solitary moments of rest and reflection. The upside is Mercury provides answers for awkward or unexpected questions.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Despite generally seeing the glass half full, doubts creep into your psyche. They may pass as quickly as they come but could still erode your confidence. Stick to subjects and situations you are familiar with today.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
The time for sharing and caring has come. The odds are currently stacked in your favour, so let down your guard and open your heart to others. Relationships move onto deeper levels of understanding and tolerance.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Bottled up resentment eventually erupts. The secret is to let off steam as soon as an incident occurs, thereby taking the sting out of it. Confrontation can be healing and shows all concerned exactly where they stand.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Keeping everyone happy is a worthy but almost impossible mission. Be yourself and if you must, pay lip service to people without becoming enmeshed in their problems. There are subtle ways of working around situations.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Situations you dread might turn out surprisingly well. Give yourself permission to embrace different people or pastimes, even if that means leaving foregoing familiarity or a few home comforts. Robust energy makes you much more resilient.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
The missing spark returns and you take measures to avoid a relationship relapse. Your philosophy or outlook undergoes subtle change for the better, courtesy of planets angled nicely to your sign. Put on your diplomatic hat today.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
This is a day when actions speak louder than words. Display kindly gestures, lead by example and repay a few favours. Life seems more relaxed but at simultaneously there is a sense of excitement in the air.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Bite your tongue and bow to an authority figure. Playing power games proves futile at this time and unless issues of integrity are on the agenda, you would be best served taking a back seat today.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
A new life plan gradually crystallises with the planets providing subtle hints about which direction to take. Take a break from someone you love but have seen too much of lately. Time spent alone can be healing.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Give love unconditionally and watch it boomerang back to you. Venus the planet of affection casts a rosy glow over relationships, prompting you to lead with your heart rather than your head. Cast your social net wider.
YOUR DAY
High expectations keep the majority on their toes. The minority who lag behind risk losing the planetary momentum that has been building all week. Aim for excellence today but avoid getting caught up in detail or obsessing over issues beyond your control. Life is all about accomplishment.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Jupiter instils positive thought and makes you more inclined to see the glass half full. If you are hamstrung over a decision, you will come down on the side of risk rather than caution. 2007 kicks off an exciting note, then gradually steadies.
