KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You are equally a pragmatist and visionary. Use these traits to turn clever ideas into moneymaking ventures or organise a celebratory event. With your wings no longer clipped you are now free to experiment.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Seeking counsel from a wise person is not a sign of weakness. On the contrary, it shows maturity and a willingness to learn. You might have to make an unpopular decision soon and need to be informed.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
You fall under the spell of a charmer. Your own unique identity remains intact but the flirtatious side of Gemini becomes more pronounced. At the heart of your actions is a desire to be liked or loved.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
You throw caution to the wind. Big ideas, lavish spending and impulsive actions are the hallmarks of Moon in your material sector. Common sense is neither relative nor desired at this hedonistic time.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
As a high flier you demand the same from others. Luck is on your side today and if you lead by example or use persuasive techniques, everyone is likely to jump on board. Get the ball rolling immediately.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Settling for second best seems counter-intuitive. Quality is more important to you than quantity but time could be your enemy and corners must be cut. Consider the occasional indulgence a gift to yourself.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
A defensive attitude is your chosen form of self-protection. Some see through your façade but others are fooled into thinking you are strong. Anxiety sits just below the surface but it can be contained.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
A difficult decision puts you in two minds. Caught between duty and desire, you want what is best for everyone but must ultimately choose what is right for you. Loving Venus in Scorpio eases you through.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
You revel in unique experiences and wonder why you waited so long. Moon in the pleasure section brings both enlightenment and satisfaction, while the gift of good communication proves icing on the cake.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
If you remain rigid, bad habit patterns become ingrained. But if you keep and open heart and mind, positive influences can filter through from outside sources. There is always a more expedient way of doing things.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
A proposal seems promising but needs closer scrutiny. Avoid putting all your eggs in one basket until you are certain long-term prospects look good. Luck is on your side but you cannot be too vigilant.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Instead of trading insults place yourself above petty arguments. Respect comes from setting a good example, as well as displaying poise in painful situations. Avoid dwelling on what might have been and move forward.
YOUR DAY
Spirited stars ruffle feathers but keep life interesting. It is important to fight fair and confine anger to manageable levels. Better yet, you could channel pent-up passion and energy into productive pastimes.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Begin your new birthday year with a positive mindset. Life is about to change and you can move with the times or hang on by your fingernails. Push personal boundaries and be futuristic.
