KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Driven by a need to prove yourself, you are able to concentrate for long periods of time. Other people admire your achievements and the positive approach you take. These traits set you apart from the crowd today.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Before commencing a new project, you tie up loose ends. A tidy mind and environment is critical today but only one task at a time should be undertaken. Success is only a heartbeat away.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
If you are stung by criticism use it as inspiration to be better. Detach yourself from comments and look for the grain of truth they contain. You can right all wrongs by being honest with yourself and others.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Separate thought from feeling and better choices can be made. It may be necessary to change plans or wait until the timing is better but remember that personal scrutiny is currently the secret to success.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Being at cross-purposes with someone is trying but not a tragedy. Take more time explaining yourself and avoid putting too much emphasis on serious situations. Tolerance helps you understand where people are coming from.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
You speak or act out of turn through by mistake rather than with malice. Luckily, others laugh at your gaffes and no real harm is done. Take a deep breath and tap into your discriminating side today.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
A one-size-fits-all approach to problems is appropriate. Expediency counts for more than perfection and quick fixes should not be frowned upon. Take your foot off the brake and treat each situation on merit.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You take a stab in the dark and come up trumps. Keeping pace with the competition is almost a full-time occupation but your quick thinking saves the day. The line between success and failure is thin.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Whether you have underrated yourself or overvalued others, results are less than anticipated. Now you know that the rose-coloured glasses must come and future forecasts should be based on realistic estimates.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
You are generous with your time. Putting your own needs and desires on hold is easy if it makes other people happy or helps ease their practical burdens. Your self-esteem and expertise have a calming effect.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Your ruler Uranus stands still and as a result life becomes more predictable. You can stop scattering your energies and confidently start making plans for the months ahead. Partnerships are more prominent at this time.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
You progress to a point and then plateau. This is where you are meant to be in the short term and refuge can be found in the company of placid people. Rest and relaxation are important today.
YOUR DAY
This is not a time to make assumptions. Lunar energy generates a tendency to jump in feet first and worry about the consequences later. Use rushes of adrenaline in situations that require quick thinking.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Having notched up recent successes you can afford to take stock. Whether you have new ideas or prefer to take a break, support comes from those around you. Mind, body and soul need nurturing.
