KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
An awakening brings about a u-turn. You conclude the old approach worked best and happily head back down a previous path. You are now more knowledgeable, street smart and willing to take a chance.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
You back down but do it with diplomacy. A half-baked promise or incompatible venture no longer suits your purpose and extricating yourself is made easier by Moon in your popularity zone. Judgement is sound today.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
The closure of a situation sets you up for a smoother and happier future. Your actions bring better balance to life and lessen the emotional anguish that has tormented you in the recent past.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
An adrenaline rush prompts you to try something new. There may be a slight element of risk or danger but you are up for challenges during this daredevil cycle. Entice others to join in or lend support.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
You emerge from the ashes of a situation and reinvent yourself. As the powerful Sun moves into a fellow fire sign, there is a belief you can now make positive internal and external changes.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
If you say something regretful in the heat of the moment, apologise immediately. The energy is forgiving and problems must not be allowed to fester. Honesty is humbling and endearing at this point in time.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
You are in demand as companion, adviser or mentor. But as hard as you try to give everyone equal attention, spreading yourself around could prove draining. Humour helps diffuse tension and breaks the ice.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You enter new territory but quickly spot the potential. The planets indicate a change in routine or interests and suggest you will soon find your feet. Remember that an ordered environment helps cut down distractions.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Play with a straight bat and show deference to others. Personal space is important, so keep a respectable distance in your business and social dealings. Matters of principle also come into play today.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
A reluctance to commit sees you exploring a variety of possibilities. Having been bitten in the past you are loath to act on impulse or without family consultation. Getting your own house in order is critical.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Your survival instincts kick in when situations seem risky. Fortunately you land on your feet without any real harm being done but forward thinking is the best antidote to danger. Slow down and ponder all options.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Outwardly you appear confident but hidden insecurities may haunt you. Moon in the sociable zone gives you a higher than usual strike rate and most people see you as strong and self-assured.
YOUR DAY
Reverse psychology can be successfully employed. Rather than using honesty to snap others into line, play opposites and have them eating out of your hand. People love to think they are right.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Your confidence or coffers are boosted by a bonus, legacy or promotion. Life is less of a battleground and more a safe haven in the upcoming year. Relationship-wise, strong bonds are forged.
