KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Put constructive criticism to good use. Others offer insight or expert opinions and all you have to do is look, listen and learn. Working your way to the top is a slow but gradual process.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Venus, the planet of beauty and style, moves through the domestic sector. Home improvements and re-decoration could be talking points or a family feud will be resolved graciously. You have the tools, so use them.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Others know you are impulsive but those who care hold you back. Take advice on board and write a checklist before committing yourself to any new ventures. Pitfalls lie in being ultra-conservative or mega-rebellious.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Mercury the thinker makes difficult mental tasks easier. You shrewdly fill in the blanks for others and come up with best-case scenarios when planning ahead. Socially, you charm and disarm the people in your circle.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
You are at your charming best in company. Venus, the planet of magical allure, attracts people and situations that bring love and luck into your life. A sense of completion, contentment or confidence oozes over you.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Recent mood swings even out. You realise that change comes from within and taking your feelings out on others is futile. Once your conduct changes others begin treating you with more love and respect.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Chores take up much of your time but working alongside others makes life more bearable. You enjoy bouncing ideas around and leaving details to the pragmatic types. Take on the role of leader rather than follower.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
An argument goes around in circles but eventually a breakthrough is reached. Intelligent Mercury in the truth-seeking zone puts the onus on you to prove every point. Like a dog with a bone, you never give up.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
You cause is noble but is it necessary? Let others take responsibility for their own actions and focus on problems closer to home. Mars, the planet of action, motivates you to get off the merry-go-round.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
The pieces of a puzzle suddenly slot into place. Moon in Capricorn resolves issues and results are likely to exceed your modest expectations. A partner may be instrumental in helping you achieve inner peace.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
If you have difficulty finding your niche or style, seek advice. Venus in the area of public relations and personal trends leaves the door open for mentors to enter your life. Habits can be changed in a heartbeat.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
As quickly as you find answers, the questions change. Mercury the swift-footed messenger mixes things up and the lines of communication or good taste can easily be crossed. Avoid putting pressure on yourself to perform.
YOUR DAY
Venus in generous Leo puts an end to penny-pinching. Quality takes precedence over quantity and kindness is more evident in relationships. Those with a point to push should be well received at this time.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
You pare a situation back to the bare bones. And once the trimmings have been removed, it is possible to rebuild on existing foundations. A minimalist approach helps you see what lies ahead.
