KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
The dawning of a different era has renewed your zest for life. And while you are under no false illusions, the opportunity for change is viewed in a positive light. Desire and duty meld nicely together.
TAURUS: (April
21 to May 21)
Resisting temptation is never easy but your conscience and common sense win out. Flattery comes in several different guises and you must be discerning in order to separate genuine people from the fakes. Keep your radar tuned.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Despite all your time and effort, the net result achieved in a venture falls short of expectations. The good news is you are better prepared for next time around and know all the viable shortcuts.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Letting go of stagnant situations works in your favour. It creates an opportunity to start afresh in an area of life and allows more leisure time for the pursuit of hobbies. Shed the dead wood without hesitation.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
A person who appears charming takes you under his or her wing. However, your thinking could be murky and once the clouds clear a mistake becomes glaringly obvious. Avoid falling prey to flattering remarks today.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
The actions of a friend, loved one or colleague could be cause for concern. But before making snap judgements about others, look for underlying reasons behind their behaviour and anticipate offering sympathy rather than criticism.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Celebrate differences and absorb the opinions of others. The nonconformist lunar energy brings eclectic groups together and offbeat ideas or campaigns can be generated in the process. Get your creative juices flowing today.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
It seems the simple things in life are the most complicated. Glitches occur at unexpected times and in ways you never really factored into your thinking. Keep a contingency plan up your sleeve for those surprise situations.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
One of your favourite people brings unanticipated pleasure. It would be a waste to take such a relationship for granted and you might consider expressing love or gratitude straight away. Memories created now are priceless.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Your talent for reading between the lines is heightened by Mercury's presence in your people sector. The good news is you use this second sight for good rather than evil and impress others in the process.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Those acting out of self-interest could dent your faith in human nature. Nonetheless, you could learn a thing or two from hard-nosed people who handle life better than you. Tone down idealism with a reality check.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
The outlook is brighter and optimism overrides any lingering pessimism. You can expand your interests while still working within personal limitations and prove to others how clever you are. Take it up to the competition today.
YOUR DAY
Keep a cool head but press for your personal rights. Arguments are won by playing fair but without backing down on matters of principle. The greatest satisfaction comes from thinking through issues before presenting an airtight case.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
There is an outside chance you can salvage a situation. However, once you have exhausted all avenues it would be wise to bow out gracefully. In affairs of the heart, you might consider adding spice to a relationship.
