KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Assertiveness is both your best and worst trait. Some people admire your self-confidence while others consider you undemocratic. Take responsibility for yourself and allow each individual the right to make his or her own decisions.
TAURUS:
(April 21 to May 21)
In work as in play you bring motivation to the table. Some of your ideas are by definition unusual but left-field thinking is apt in the current cosmic climate. Your mentor Venus encourages quirky behaviour.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
You can stem the tide of panic by being well prepared. Finalise arrangements early and leave yourself some time for a little fine-tuning. Also, use plain language when talking to people about delicate topics.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Make good use of your verbal skills and impart wisdom or initiatives. There is a good case today for following protocol but that need not prevent you from passing on snippets of inside information.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Pride prevents you from quitting and you persevere with a situation that brings neither pleasure nor profit. Review your options and consider making a transition between the old and new. It is time to follow your dreams.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Thoughts turn to distant places or long lost loves. Reach out and satisfy restless urges, even if that means taking a giant leap of faith into unfamiliar areas. The path to fulfilment requires daring and good fortune.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
It's surprising how quickly things change. Recently you were driven to act by emotional factors and now common sense has taken over as your prime motivator. Fortunately you feel more comfortable rationalising events.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
A snag you hit late last year now seems irrelevant. Valuable lessons have been learned and you are determined to put them to good use. There is also a rosy glow around relationships and love blossoms.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
You are bloody-minded about certain issues and make your feelings known. Mars, the planet of incentive, compels you to go out on a limb for your beliefs. The majority vote makes no difference to you today.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
You are in the process of overturning a decision. At the heart of your actions is a desire for quick results in a particular plan or project. Submit proposals to people in authority rather than dealing with minions.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
As you wade through a mountain of chores do not forget to take the occasional break. Intensive energy tests your strength and it is important to pace yourself so that goals can eventually be achieved.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
As you make plans for the future, a desire for change intensifies. It is time to take a situation one step further or find a new position elsewhere. The grass is greener for you in another place.
YOUR DAY
The planetary trend is towards travel. Short or long trips are forecast and even journeys of the mind could begin around this time. Energies are intellectual and ambitious but there is also a whiff of adventure in the air.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Love makes the world go around but financial freedom is your main motivator this year. With supportive people behind you and lucky Jupiter in your sign, the wheel of fortune swings your way.
