KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
It is easy to trip yourself up on elaborate excuses. The closer you stick to the truth this week the more chance you have of escaping other peoples' wrath. Keep life simple and organise your environment properly.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Results fall in your favour and deliver tangible rewards. Moon, the emotional indicator, and Mars the results-based planet fuse together, allowing events to fall into place with less effort than usual. You balance heart and head.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Sharpen your wit and watch your back. Moon at the base of your chart implies people who fight dirty could cross your path and turn discussions into disputes or events into competitions. Forewarned is forearmed.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Personal problems take top priority and you tackle them with passion. A relationship might be put back on track after a shaky period or you will establish a firmer financial footing. It's a win-win situation.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
No-nonsense energy provides you with a sense of authority and quiet strength, so nominate yourself in the role of peacekeeper. A situation that has reached an impasse can be resolved through clever mediation.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Hidden needs or desires surface. Moon and Mars in Virgo stir your juices, breaking a dry spell in your life and snapping you into action. The law of attraction works well and you receive what you give out.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Your life may feel slightly out of kilter. Ruling Venus at an odd angle prompts you to redress the balance and confront certain issues you have been avoiding. Just ignore any temptation to achieve a quick fix.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You are learning to put the past behind you. Resolute energy makes it easier to live in the moment and avoid berating yourself for events beyond your control. One particular encounter could lead to a lucky break.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
There is more to situations than meets the eye. Question each person's motives, look behind the façade and avoid being too trusting. A little scepticism could go a long way towards protecting your interests today.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Ambitions are aroused and you search for new opportunities. Confident energy encourages you to go against the tide of popular opinion and make decisions based on instinct. Others are swept up in your enthusiasm.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You are prepared to compromise but only so far. Forthright influences in the stubborn part of your chart prevent you from fully co-operating with others. The more demanding people are, the more detached you become.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Moon in opposition sees you subconsciously adopting certain Virgo traits. The advantage is a more down-to-earth approach to life and personal problems. On the other side of the ledger, you could be a nitpicker.
YOUR DAY
Moon in earthy Virgo favours substance over style. There must be a practical reason or sound argument to justify situations and attention to detail is vital. People are less concerned about appearance and image today.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Life is fulfilling rather than thrilling. Home and affairs of the heart dominate, although career and finance also move along at a rapid pace in the months ahead. Saturn teaches you some salutary lessons.
