KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
The paradox today is that good things come from bad situations. If you leave yourself open to events as they unfold, exhilarating experiences or encounters could occur out of the blue. Different relationships bring out your diverse qualities.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
While you feel sympathy towards someone, you also want others themselves. Perhaps you should teach or lead by example rather than carrying the burdens for others. You simply do not have all the answers or expertise.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
By happily settling for compromise you endear yourself to others. Past difficulties seem to dissolve as you break an impasse through a combination of clever negotiation and unmitigated charm. Few people can turn it on like you.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Remember that once you give your word there is no turning back. Those relying on you for practical support or shrewd advice deserve your commitment and loyalty, so step up to the plate today and perform.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
An aspect of your life is back on track after weeks of dead-ends. The next step is to draw up a plan of action that fulfills your needs without putting a strain on your health or resources.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Self-discipline and honesty feature strongly today. Aim for excellence in every venture and expect nothing of others you would not do yourself. If you play with a straight bat you have nothing to fear from anyone.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Show yourself in the best possible light and show support for those around you. A sense of adventure strikes and you are prepared to take up challenges, as well as do your best by other people.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
People who lack a sense of urgency frustrate you today. Apart from being kept waiting and feeling let down, you are also mindful of the fact a deadline looms. The message is not to rely on others.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Feelings of excitement liven up your day. Last-minute invitations or offers could lead you down a different path, or alternatively someone showers you with love. The energy sits comfortably with your pleasure-seeking nature.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
An unexpected chain of events throws you off course but can add variety to your day. Embrace change and leave yourself open to suggestions from others. Routine is comfortable but not necessarily good for the soul.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
As you link up with different people a sense of belonging strengthens your self-esteem. There is a ripple of change in the relationship sector and sharing becomes more important than it has been in the past.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Since you recently confronted an unpleasant subject your sense of self has intensified. Also results for past efforts are slowly filtering in and you can now take credit for the part you played in a successful project.
YOUR DAY
Lunar energy indicates increased levels of optimism. Those prepared to take a punt on a groundbreaking idea or venture can be buoyed by the fact outcomes look good. It is important to make the most productive use of time and keep a contingency plan at hand.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
In this year of consolidation your focus narrows. And as you aim for quality over quantity and plan for a secure future, others follow your lead. Haste makes waste in 2007 and a steady-as-she-goes approach is highly recommended.
