KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
A change of pace emboldens you. Rather than taking the safe option and working slowly towards targets, you speed up processes and cut corners without compromising outcomes. Innovative ideas and practical application are your strengths.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Idealism makes you more alluring and people fall under your spell. Use your influence wisely but soak up any extra attention that comes your way throughout the week. If you have it, flaunt it.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
The difference between success and failure could simply be self-promotion. Put opinions and ideas forward but paint rosy pictures rather than using mundane language. Quoting past experience can also help sell your message.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
As your diary fills so does a vacuum. Lunar energy converts you into popular companion, prized confidante or practiced advice-giver to others. The less time you have to think, the more content you feel.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
An urge to play devil's advocate or dogmatically express opinions could earn you black marks. Stubborn influences make you reluctant to compromise and keen to have the final word. Expect to meet your match today.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Minor concerns pale into insignificance as the bigger picture emerges. This is an excellent time to create your own destiny by meeting ambitious targets and seizing back the upper hand one or more relationships.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
You are enterprising and can afford to make snap judgements. The speculative planets allow you to take a few cautious chances but also warn against risking more than modest amounts of your time, energy or money
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Your immovable faith in someone is justified when the payback comes. You have every right to gloat about trusting your instincts and can subsequently back yourself whenever similar situations come to pass.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Positive thought patterns help you see the glass half full. Now you can pass on your optimism to help boost someone's low self-esteem or impart wise advice to people who hang on your every word.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
As much as you prefer to fly under the radar, inherent curiosity keeps you in the spotlight. Moon moving away from the cerebral area of your chart makes it almost impossible to discount topics of interest.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
An urge to express your own identity produces creative results. And whereas a show of rebellion may have drawn criticism in the past, it is now deemed fashionable. Give free reign to some of those offbeat ideas.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
You avoid intentionally hurting others but an off-the-cuff comment could offend. Go on the charm offensive and remember that a little flattery will go a long way when attempting to smooth troubled waters.
YOUR DAY
Self-belief and pride are the two key factors in success. Aim for excellence and refuse to settle for second best in the areas of work, relationships or presentation. You get out what you put in.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Idealistic ventures may have cost you in the recent past but common sense prevails in the immediate future. Use your imagination for practical reasons and stop expecting people to jump on your bandwagon.
