KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Once the guesswork is taken out of a situation you feel in control. Systematic and shrewd stars signify a desire to stay inside your comfort zone. Setting agendas and adopting a hands-on approach helps achieve that aim.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Tying people down could be your biggest challenge. To avoid frustration, put forward suggestions and wait for others to absorb information before getting back to you. Let your natural patience and practicality shine through today.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
By picking the eyes out of a situation you can turn negatives into positives. Lukewarm feelings about a person or proposition should not deter you from making a commitment. Surprise outcomes are forecast at this time.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Be discreet and keep answers to questions succinct. Too much information rob you of advantage, so retain an air of mystery and tell others only what you want them to know. The less said the better today.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Animated conversations and bright ideas enliven you. Indulge in whimsical pursuits or interact with people who are normally considered your opposite. The rebel within is most likely bursting to get out and create a little mischief.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Whether you love or loathe a person, everyone is in your life for a purpose. Tolerate the foibles of others and take what is necessary from every relationship. Levels of intimacy differ at varying times of the day.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
There are no limits to what you can achieve. Self-belief, good timing and intellect are plus points today, so use them to advantage and set some ambitious goals. Goodwill from others is an added bonus.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Achieving targets on time brings a soul-deep sense of satisfaction. The bad news is you could put too much pressure on yourself and end up feeling weary. Avoid being too competitive and accept assistance from others.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
By taking a situation one step at a time, the bigger picture unfolds slowly and appears less daunting. Focus first on details and as each part of the puzzle is complete move on to the next.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Your sense of fairness compels you to do the right thing by others. And while not everyone shares your even-handed approach, you retain a clear conscience and untarnished reputation. Pedantic energy also drives you today.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Accept both wins and losses because on balance you should come out ahead. Your communication skills are steadily improving and you might soon switch from making emotionally charged decisions to using sound logic.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
By cutting to the heart of issues you save both time and energy. And with lunar power crossing the peak of your chart, you could soon be transformed from rambling narrator to concise speaker. Be self-disciplined.
YOUR DAY
Avoid fretting over trivia and conserve energy for bigger issues. It is important to work in a systematic fashion but also to heed what others say and learn from their words. Stubbornness could prove counter-productive.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Nail down your concerns and modify circumstances or behaviour accordingly. The year ahead favours peaceful solutions but also encourages further expansion. Get the formula correct and good results are likely to follow.
