KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Moon in the social sector allows you to delay practical decisions and focus on friendships. There might be moments you treasure because they are special or rare and serve as a reminder life is all about love.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Your inherent goodness makes you especially protective towards special people. The stars help you strike the perfect balance between nurture and nature today, so that nobody feels manipulated or molly-coddled under your watch.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Rewards have been a long time coming but are probably worth the wait. You are on the cusp of change and although life might by necessity becomes more structured, there will be less emphasis on pleasing others.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Ongoing concerns about a business issue are resolved with ease. Similarly, current tensions in the home are relieved by the gentler lunar energy. Your best work and experiences come during the calmer moments.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Expand awareness by observing as well as listening. The energy is passive and your role subtly changes as the day progresses. You might also feel a renewed sense of belonging or become a mentor to someone younger.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
A slight shift in boundaries allows you to expand your influence. You are drawn towards tolerant people and situations that call for creativity or lateral thinking. Use this special energy as a temporary means of escape.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Moon in your sign illustrates the essence of who you really are. Dealing with events in an uncomplicated way not only impresses people but also reduces personal stress. As usual, you are a lover not a fighter.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Self-discipline is a strong point but empathy wins the day. Interpreting the feelings of others without asking questions is a talent not many possess. To top it off, you identify with their pleasure and pain.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
With mixed energies at work, you are either touched by kindness or suffer censure. Fortunately good-hearted Venus helps you laugh off criticism and gracefully accept the generosity of others. You give back what you receive.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
You satisfy others without depriving yourself. And while deft juggling of duties might be required today, you relish the challenges life throws up. Ruling Saturn provides personal empowerment while visionary Jupiter broadens your scope.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Knowledge is power, so research topics carefully before commenting. Half-hearted opinions could expose your weak points and leave you vulnerable to attack. Like it or not, extra effort is needed at this time.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
After biding your time you reap the rewards of patience. You can now make a compelling case for support or wheedle your way back into someone's good books. The emphasis right now is on redemption and relationships.
YOUR DAY
Balance empathy with self-preservation. The energy is benevolent and taking everyone's problems on board could prove emotionally draining today. Let instinct guide you through the minefield of matters relating to romance and platonic relationships.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Start out as you mean to continue in your new birthday year. There is a sense of urgency and while your wits are sharp, the devil could be in the detail. Make it your policy to double-check.
