KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Feelings of excitement enliven your day. Last-minute invitations or offers lead you down a different path, or alternatively someone might show renewed interest in you. The energy is compatible with your pleasure-seeking side.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
An unexpected chain of events throws you off course. You can either embrace the altered circumstances and vary your routine or resist to no avail. Monotony might be comfortable but change is good for the soul.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
As you link up with different people a sense of belonging permeates. This ripple of change boosts your self-esteem and sharing with others becomes more important than it has been in the past.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Since you confronted a sticky situation a renewed sense of self has emerged. And while results for past effort might have been slow filtering in, you can proudly take credit for your part in a successful venture.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
The paradox today is that good things come from bad situations. If you allow events to unfold naturally, exhilarating experiences or encounters are likely to occur. Your assorted relationships cater to different personal needs.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Your sympathy is endless but tolerance is finite today. People who wallow in self-pity test your patience, while stoic types capture your attention. In other words, you are happy to help those who help themselves.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
By happily settling for compromise you endear yourself to others. Past difficulties seem to dissolve as you break an impasse through a combination of clever negotiation and unmitigated charm. Few people possess your PR skills.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Remember that once you make a pledge there is no turning back. Those relying on you for practical support or shrewd advice deserve commitment and loyalty, so step up to the plate and perform.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
An aspect of your life is back on track after several dead-ends. The next step is to draw up a plan of action that fulfills your own needs without putting a strain on those around you.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Loving Venus and lucky Jupiter form a powerful partnership. Relationships, your image or financial affairs can all benefit from this aspect but what you have to do is make yourself visible. Fame and fortune now beckon.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Show yourself in the best possible light. First impressions count, so look your smartest and pour on the charm when introductions once made. Street smarts are also important today when dealing with people and issues.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
People who lack a sense of urgency frustrate you. If you are kept waiting, let down or left out of the loop, chances are deadlines will be missed. The message coming through is to be self-reliant.
YOUR DAY
Rather than taking a punt, cover all bases. There could be hidden pitfalls and in-depth analysis coupled with attention to detail is important today. The energy is buoyant and outcomes look good but timing is critical.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
A narrower focus saves you from scattering precious energy. Seek quality not quantity in your relationships and enterprises, keeping in mind that 2008 is a year when haste leads to waste. Invest time wisely.
