ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You may find people more intolerant than usual, but will circumvent trouble by being diplomatic. And despite wondering what all the fuss is about, it seems unlikely that you will encounter too many setbacks today.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
You might be adept at laying down the law, but you could be tempted to bend the rules when it suits you. As luck would have it, others will be too self-involved to spot the double standards.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
A quick reassessment of a business or romantic partnership will help highlight any areas that need fine-tuning. Fortunately, answers come easy and one or two minor adjustments should have things running smoothly in record time.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Now that you have found your voice, you will boldly make predictions, statements or requests. And because you are acting out character, others will sit up, take notice and quickly comply with your wishes.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
You may be much more aware of the affect you are having on others, but will avoid playing it to full advantage. However, because you are melodramatic by nature there may be times when you exaggerate events.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
An issue you have been avoiding may suddenly require your full attention. And because you are blessed by an inquiring mind and ability to persevere, you will not give up until a problem is properly resolved.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
If you are faced with a situation that makes you feel uncomfortable, put on a brave face and fake it. Think positive thoughts and bear in mind that others probably have no idea what you are thinking.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
It may be a photo finish, but you will just manage to beat someone over the line. Your competitive streak is at a peak and winning is likely to be much more of an issue than usual.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22) The Moon in your zone of reflection motivates you to reassess personal goals and the more intimate aspects of your life. You will surely find there is room for improvement or change and should act without delay.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Although you could be inclined to look at the promising aspects of a situation rather than examining the detail, your positive attitude will help create good results. You can afford to relax the pressure on yourself and others.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
A person who shares similar dreams and beliefs may endorse one of your decisions or provide practical assistance. With the emphasis on chemistry, an invisible and unexplained bond will connect you to a few chosen associates.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Rather than stating the obvious or looking for easy answers, dig deeply and try to get to the bottom of issues. You could also brainstorm ideas with others and put together a plan of immediate action.

YOUR DAY
Fixation on one particular course of action could prevent people from finding appropriate resolutions. Be expansive, creative and step outside the usual boundaries of thought. Similarly, obsession in relationships will put others off rather than making them feel desired. On the upside, adversity will be a challenge not a chore.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
While you may feel sympathetic to someone's situation, you will be reluctant to have a millstone around your neck. In a free-spirited frame of mind, your greatest desire in the year ahead may be to take flight and make changes whenever the fancy strikes you.
