Horoscopes: Friday, March 20

ARIES: (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
The fact that Venus, the planet of love, is parked in Aries, puts a spark in your brain that makes it easy to transcend situations that would normally derail you. This is good, because you must now be practical as well as inspired.

TAURUS: (Apr 21 – May 20)
It is your job to ensure that what you are doing, is done not just so expediently that it makes the bean-counters happy but so beautifully that it makes you happy. Short term gain is long term pain. Get it right the first time round.

GEMINI: (May 21 – June 21)
The inner guidance that you need, is buried under a layer of mental chatter. Consider where in your life your monkey-mind gives you a break. It could be in being very physical, or in music - or in nature. Wherever it is, go there.

CANCER: (June 22 – July 22)
The Moon is standing directly opposite you in Capricorn, reinforcing a completely different set of values to the ones you take as yours. It is not about home and hearth. It is about climbing the distant mountain. Adjust and embrace.

LEO: (July 23 – Aug 22)
The Moon is in Capricorn, implying that it if there is anything you actually want to get done, now is the time. The Goat Moon inspires you to climb – to set your sights, take a deep breath and get somewhere. Keep it playful.

VIRGO: (Aug 23 – Sept 22)
By getting physical, you open up the kind of peace in your heart and mind that allows you to start putting your pet project in order. With the Moon in earthy Capricorn, doing is a whole lot more important than talking about it.

LIBRA: (Sept 23 – Oct 23)
You are on a journey with a destination. As lovely as the scenery is out the window, to be completely entranced by it isn't helping you move on. Look at where you are spellbound and bring yourself out of it. There is more to be had.

SCORPIO: (Oct 24 – Nov 21)
Results aren't all that matters. You might have to kiss an expectation good-bye. In the process, you reclaim a lightness of heart. The weight of seriousness has been slowing your progress. Laughter brings both effectiveness and ease.

SAGITTARIUS: (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
To expand, you must communicate in such a way that you create both hope and community. That which you want to achieve, can't be achieved through you being a lone wolf. In having friends, explore what it means to be a friend.

CAPRICORN: (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
In testing yourself against the facts, discover your strengths, your blind spots – and your capabilities. The Moon is in your sign, making your quest a passionate and emotional one. Get your hands dirty - and have fun along the way.

AQUARIUS: (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
The Moon in Capricorn is reminding you that physicality brings you into the moment, revs up your joy and inspires you to makes the most of your aims. By starting off on the right foot, the next steps will be all the more satisfying.

PISCES: (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
There's no point in trying to fight your way out of a situation that isn't responding. Your whole approach needs a revamp. Walk away and do something that puts a spark in your heart. When you return, the whole game will be different.

YOUR DAY
The Moon is in Capricorn, planting our feet on the ground. This is a moment for putting aside 'ifs' and 'buts' and 'maybes'. Step into the fray. More learning happens in a moment of doing, than happens in an aeon of thinking about it.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
There's no point in thinking about how to celebrate. There is only the act of celebrating itself. That said, celebrating in awareness is very different to doing it with your eyes jammed shut. Go to where the greatest joy resides.
