KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Transparency becomes you. Moon in Aries heightens your need for honesty and any attempt at pretence will fail because emotion is certain to show in your face. Set aside difficult decisions until later in the week.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Your attention is drawn to an alliance. Future prosperity and lasting happiness depend on the trust you place in a business or romantic partner. The decisions you make and their timing meld together nicely today.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
When the heat is turned up your instinct is to flee. You give yourself a head start on a rival who is either out to score points or extract revenge. Venus in the expansive zone provides room to move.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
If you feel ill at ease pretend otherwise. People may play on your weaknesses or decide that attack is the best form of defence. Away from the crowd you can afford to let your guard down.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Despite your best efforts a situation seems to be slipping away. Enlist help and trust your instincts rather than listening to conflicting advice from others. New beginnings are predicted but self-faith is required.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
The dynamics of a relationship change with the passage of time. Whether you face up to personal flaws and modify behaviour accordingly or show more tolerance towards others, affairs of the heart look brighter.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
One of your decisions earns the tick of approval. There is a domino effect at work and everyone benefits from your clever take on situations. You also stay within the boundaries of good taste at all times.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You shun quick fixes and opt for steady progress. Peace of mind comes from ticking all the boxes as you go, even though it means delayed gratification. Some find your pace frustrating while others admire your tenacity.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
A feeling of freedom prevails. Venus, the planet of personal presentation, loosens inhibitions and your tongue. Even within the confines of a close relationship or firm commitment you can flex muscles of independence.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
If your space is invaded, redraw the boundaries. Others may be unaware of the intrusion and nothing but plain speaking will alert them to the fact. Colleagues are likely to be the worst offenders today.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You find a new niche and say the right words. Gracious Venus in your sign brings a relaxed and comfortable feel to life throughout the month. This is an excellent time to spread your wings.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Events speed up but the pace suits your mood. Productivity levels rise as a result of renewed vigour and your compulsion to control situations eases as progress is made. You are also popular in social circles.
YOUR DAY
Venus, the planet ruling relationships and interaction, moves into edgy Aquarius. Opposites attract and lateral solutions are applied to everyday problems. This is a good time to experiment or break out of a rut.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
A change of scene beckons. You are on a search for fun, friendship or more suitable career options. Whatever your line of business or lifestyle, some luck can be expected in 2009.
