KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Alienation from others leaves you feeling dispirited. Make more of an effort to keep in touch, whether by e-mail, phone or face to face. The mood is sociable and you have plenty to offer family and friends.
TAURUS: (April
21 to May 21)
You often come across as cautious but dreamy energy makes you more of a free spirit. Everyone has a shadowy side, yours just happens to be a preoccupation with romantic and artistic themes. Let it loose.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Burn off excess energy in healthy ways. A temptation to lash out at others or resort to old habits might strike but there is nothing to be gained from such outbursts. Meantime mind, body and soul benefit from exercise.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Apart from a slight hiccup in a partnership, the planets are primarily in sync. You are best suited today to role of troubleshooter or go-between, offering your expertise and words of wisdom to others.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Like a fish out of water, you feel uncomfortable in certain situations. However, a little research and effort on your part will help you cope with current problems and adapt to changing circumstances. Nothing stays the same.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
A sudden change in tactics gives you a distinct edge over others. However, there could be jealousy or ill feeling if someone thinks you have stolen his or her thunder. Be humble in both victory and defeat.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
New faces and places help dispel restless feelings. Inject variety into your life, even if that entails stepping outside your usual boundaries. When it comes to social interaction and small talk, you are the zodiac's master.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
By taking a step back you allow others to work through their own problems. And while you are often inexplicably drawn to the affairs of others, there is more to be gained today from sitting on the sidelines.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Put your executive hat on and make those ruthless decisions. It seems those around you are incapable of thinking for themselves and you must play the part of mediator. Amicable agreements might take a while to reach.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Planets at odds muddy the waters making it difficult to see the immediate future. Take small steps towards your goals and resign yourself to the fact that uncertainty lurks but it is only temporary.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You are kept abreast of events because of your curious mind. Just be careful not to invade other peoples' space or hog the limelight for lengthy periods. Moderation in all things is advised at this time.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
The truth sets you free and once you speak honestly, fantastic progress can be made. You might be pleasantly surprised by positive feedback or heartily relieved once a burden is lifted. Life is currently on a roll.
YOUR DAY
Complex issues are best deferred for a few days. However, this is an excellent time for creative activities and because empathy is in abundant supply, being of service to others brings satisfaction. Good karma comes from selflessness and even the smallest gesture of kindness counts.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Confidence wavers but you never lose sight of the bigger picture. At times this year you might want to retreat and reflect. At others you will single-mindedly follow a mission. The lessons you subsequently learn should prove invaluable in the long term.
