KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Children or romance lightens the mood, as you reconnect with your playful side. Instead of searching for greener grass, you accept that what you want lies in your own backyard. For pure enjoyment keep things simple.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Despite being thrown off balance you quickly find your feet. With adrenaline pumping and a determination to succeed, you jump back into the fray before momentum is lost. Also, the harder you work the sweeter the victory.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
You create your own luck by actively chasing new prospects. Outside support is unnecessary now that your public relations skills and drive are at a peak. Be diplomatic but determined when dealing with people in power.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Someone acting of character might have personal issues and should be given a little latitude. Take time to nurture relationships and set yourself up as mentor to those in trouble. Your past experience could prove invaluable.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Delighted with positive feedback your spirits soar. The time you spent slaving over a lengthy task seems worthwhile and the light at the end of a tunnel looks increasingly inviting. Now it's time for a brief escape.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
With your head in the clouds and feet on the ground, you have the perfect balance between idealism and pragmatism. Ideas can be implement with greater ease, while admiration from others makes you more self-assured.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Events play right into your hands as the wheel of fortune spins in your favour. Bear in mind that the window of opportunity opens only briefly and you must act quickly to capitalise. Complacency is your enemy.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You operate well in a supportive environment but wilt in the company of critics. Stick to what you know today and as a further form of self-protection close ranks at work, home or socially.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Your patience with someone runs out but your love never wavers. And while this leaves you vulnerable to exploitation it also keeps your conscience clear. For the sake of fairness, try putting your foot down occasionally.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Mars barrels through the money zone, fuelling your obsession to penny-pinch. Budgetary cuts could come from unexpected places but the crazier the scheme, the more you save. Your vision for the future never falters.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Mars in your sign drives you to extremes. Fortunately, your all-or-nothing approach goes according to plan and the flurry of activity leads to success. Spectators are likely to be tired just watching you.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Your head buzzes with thoughts but they are mostly confusing. Try to shut out the voice within and use your imagination for useful purposes. Take heart in the fact issues gradually become clearer as the week progresses.
YOUR DAY
Moon in loyal Leo implies a reluctance to take sides. But however well intentioned people are today, trying to be everyone's friend has its drawbacks. Decisions might be difficult to reach or emotional energy could dry up in the process of keeping others happy.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Past misuse of money or opportunities haunts you. As a consequence, you make it your mission in the year ahead to consolidate finances and cement your position. Your work ethic improves, along with relationships and your domestic set-up.
