KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You begrudgingly handle high expectations. The cosmic climate is incompatible and there is a sense you are out of step with other people. A stoic approach sets you up well for the immediate future.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
As you make a seamless transition from one situation to another, attention to detail is your strength. With a keen eye and mind like a steel trap, your chance for successful outcomes looks particularly good today.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
A tendency towards impulsiveness could leave a trail of disasters. Venus, the social indicator, is hidden at the base of your horoscope and dealing with others is not a strong point. Duck for cover today.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
You relate well to people with similar interests but are intolerant towards contradictory types. Remember that you have nothing to prove and are master of your own destiny. Fitting in is not compulsory today.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Draw the line between curiosity and prying. One tactless question is all it takes to cross the boundaries of good taste, so think carefully before you speak or act. Thin-skinned people are easily offended.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
A me-first attitude prevails. Indulgent Venus in your sign makes self-satisfaction a top priority but it also heightens your popularity with other people. If you are happy, loved ones feel the benefit.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
You rediscover what it is you originally found appealing about someone. As a result, new levels of awareness enrich the relationship. You can expect an impasse to be broken or a suitable compromise to be reached.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
As you take carefully considered risks your confidence gradually grows. Trust your instincts at this time and if something does not ring true shun further involvement. A financial deal might soon be sealed.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
A conflict between head and heart causes you to grapple with a problem. Whenever moral or ethical doubts arise, opt out of a situation altogether. Putting principle above profit earns you plenty of respect.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Talking yourself up does not always come easily. During this period of self-promotion you can sell your wares by becoming more visible, playing to your strengths and using self-deprecating humour as a foil.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You confront a problem head-on and save yourself heartache. Dealing in the here and now helps prevent any build up of hard feelings or complexity. Use direct but diplomatic language when addressing others.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Lowering your defences takes the hostility out of situations. Venus, the planet of interaction, sits in your sector of social activity and partnerships. Getting along with others is of paramount importance at this time.
YOUR DAY
Criticism will be thinly veiled. Venus the relationship planet is in analytical Virgo, suggesting a propensity to pick people apart. It might be difficult to look beyond how situations affect us on a personal level.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Pressure is positive as it helps maintain momentum. There is much to be done in months ahead and the rewards ultimately make your efforts worthwhile. Be business-like but remain approachable.
