KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Put your own house in order before assisting others. It is important to lead by example and allow a cooling off period when plans or decisions require action. A tidy mind and environment must be top priorities.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Playing by the rules comes naturally to you. But in an about face you rebel against the majority and find fault in those around you. Some people will admire your newfound spirit but others might be offended.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
You teach what you need to learn and should take your own advice. Ruling Mercury in the relationship zone portrays you as a mentor but also suggests you ask nothing of others you would not do yourself.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Chip away at daunting assignments rather than focusing on the big picture. Out of sight is out of mind and attending to details guarantees good results. If you feel overwhelmed or under qualified, seek assistance.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
You are in a winning position and can afford to set the bar higher. Be prepared to step outside your comfort zone and make choices that require a move or sacrifice. An open mind is your best asset.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Often regarded as the quiet one, your plain speaking prompts others to sit up and take notice. Moon in your sign encourages initiative and progressive thinking but also cautions against taking too many impulsive risks.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
The tide turns in your favour and an issue that once weighed heavily might be spontaneously resolved. Heart and mind come back into sync after a fleeting moment of emotional self-doubt or mental confusion.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Moon at a compatible angle relieves tension. And despite often adopting a wait-and-see approach to life, you now progress with renewed self-faith. Expect to shine socially and win over people who can be of assistance.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Any clash of interest or personality drains precious energy. Make a conscious choice to avoid contrary people and protect yourself further by behaving ethically. Some might consider you anti-social but in truth you need space.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
There is a fine line between flattery and manipulation, so keep your radar tuned to spot the fakes. Also, put your practical hat on when doing business deals and keep your eye out for a bargain.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You are easily led but clever enough to know when trouble looms. If someone wise offers advice, accept it on face value and exploit the information. Meantime, Venus enters your money zone and you crave the creature comforts.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Hostilities cease and a renewed sense of optimism kicks in. Even the simplest pastimes suddenly seem more satisfying, especially when shared with those you love. As an added bonus, your faith in someone is restored.
YOUR DAY
Analytical energy demands that issues are worked through to logical conclusions. And whether you are problem-solving for yourself or taking part in brainstorming sessions, remove emotion from the equation. Detail is important today.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
A subtle hint from Jupiter primes you for change. And while you might be reluctant to let go, you accept that life evolves and people move on. Give a project or relationship one final push this year.
