KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You rely on your wits when negotiating difficult passages. Ruling Mars urges you to keep your head up and eyes on the horizon, but most of all remain composed. Very little escapes you today.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
A fortunate turn of events brings closure to a situation. There is a more light-hearted feel to life and recent tensions ease as you tie up loose ends. Put new ventures on hold until the timing is right.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Even when your bubble bursts you have a contingency plan. The focus is on home, family and domestic issues but career is also on the agenda. There may be a balance of wins and losses today.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Your social life revs up but the happiest times are spent in familiar company. You are approaching that point on the calendar when communication peaks and dreams are realised. Make the most of your chances.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
You search for a suitable forum to air grievances. Follow your heart and go with what works for you rather than trying to please others. Once on your soapbox, the words are likely to flow freely.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
You battle through hardship and come out the other side unscathed. Tenacity and toughness are the foundations for success but further development is needed. Take a step-by-step approach to life.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
It appears time is your enemy. Moon in the sluggish sector sees you dragging your feet or relying on others to finish what you start. Stick to a strict agenda and tick off the boxes as you go.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You reopen the lines of communication with an estranged acquaintance. Compatible lunar energy softens your attitude and allows you to forgive others more easily. Wipe the emotional slate clean and start afresh.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Rather than rushing through life, you stop to take stock of events. Not only is it important to savour each moment but there is also a need to review personal plans. Fate is leading to a particular point.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
You make commitments and promises with your eyes wide open. Loved ones or peers have high expectations but you are up for the challenge and keen to keep the peace. Start as you mean to continue.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
A desire to paper over the cracks in a relationship is well founded. You have invested a good deal of time into achieving harmony and are reluctant to take risks with the future. Timing is everything.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
You enjoy listening to differing opinions. Moon in your social sector opens your mind, heart and soul to others, and you embrace alternative ideas or methods. Collaboration is the key to successful outcomes.
YOUR DAY
A tendency to resist authority is borne out of ego rather than rebellion. Everyone believes his or her way is best during this self-absorbed cycle but discussions tend to go around in circles.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
You define yourself by achievements. 2009 is an edgy time and moving from one venture to another soothes restless urges but leaves less leisure hours in the day. Ask for help or advice.
