KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Being at cross-purposes with someone is trying but not a tragedy. Take more time explaining yourself and avoid putting too much emphasis on the serious side of situations. Patience ultimately brings its own rewards.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Mars, the planet of knee-jerk reactions, causes you to speak or act out of turn. Luckily, others laugh at your blunders and no real harm is done. Take a deep breath and tap into your pragmatic side.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
A one-size-fits-all approach to problems is unlikely to work. Expediency might be your motive but unfortunately there are no quick fixes today. Take your foot off the brake and treat each situation on merit.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Taking a stab in the dark is not your modus operandi. But to keep pace with the competition, you might have to think on your feet and risk making mistakes. There is a fine line between success and failure.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Whether you have underrated yourself or overvalued someone else, the reality is you emerge a winner. There is much to show or brag about for your efforts and a pat on the back is well deserved.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Be generous with your time, even if it requires putting your own needs and desires last. Someone who has low self-esteem or lacks know-how and resources will benefit greatly from your input today.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
If you want to smooth things over with someone, swallow your pride and make a move. Your ruling planet Venus comes to the relationship rescue and teaches you how to be humble without losing any of your charm.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You finally start to make progress in a situation that has been stuck in a rut. And while you might have to play catch-up, energy and enthusiasm levels receive a solid boost from the might of Mars.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Despite being driven by a need to prove yourself, others admire your achievements. An ability to concentrate for long periods coupled with your amazing outlook on life is what sets you apart from the crowd today.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Before you start something new, tie up any loose ends. A tidy mind and environment is critical to getting the best out of yourself but you must be methodical at all times.
Success is a whisker away.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Although you are thrown by criticism, you can use it as inspiration. Instead of taking comments to heart, look for the ping of truth and determine where you can right those wrongs. Help comes in many guises.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Separate thought from feeling and better choices can be made. You might have to alter a plan or wait until the timing is better but should bear in mind that analysis is the secret to success.
YOUR DAY
Those who make assumptions could be caught out. Lunar energy creates a tendency to jump in feet first and say inappropriate things at the wrong time. Slowing the tempo might help but it is unlikely clumsiness can be totally eliminated today.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Shrewd stars hint at financial improvement and career ascendency. Lead with your head not your heart in the year ahead and a trail of successes can be notched up. Matters of the heart should also be handled in business-like fashion.
