Horoscopes: Monday, March 30

ARIES: (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
The chance you have taken has got you in the position of receiving your first reality check. Flesh and blood reality takes over from disembodied passion. Check your facts. Also check your pleasure levels. Are you having fun?

TAURUS: (Apr 21 – May 20)
You aren't overly inspired by what you can't see, even if it's beautifully explained. The Moon is shining on your back. She is making you sure enough of yourself to be able to ask the right questions – and to expect the right answers.

GEMINI: (May 21 – June 21)
To have an untenable but unshakable faith in what you cannot see is serving you well. The truth isn't there for all to see. Untruths are however, sticking out like prickles on a prickly pear. A power greater than logic is at work.

CANCER: (June 22 – July 22)
The Moon in earthy Taurus warms the cockles of your heart. You feel held, nourished and supported. There is earth beneath your feet - and enough normality around for you to let out a sigh of relief. Re-establish your footing.

LEO: (July 23 – Aug 22)
There is a chance here to get philosophical, without causing too much of a rumpus. We all need to feel integrated in our hearts. You are no different. Whilst on the move, have a good ponder about where it is you are moving.

VIRGO: (Aug 23 – Sept 22)
Saturn, who is resident in Virgo for some time, was originally a deity that represented the law and order of nature. His name comes from a root that means 'to sow'. Whatever you are reaping has a source - and you are it. Consider.

LIBRA: (Sept 23 – Oct 23)
The Moon in Taurus comforts you because it promises pleasure. That is a language you can understand. Beauty and harmony are greater motivating factors than climbing hills just for the hell of it. Where reason fails, love succeeds.

SCORPIO: (Oct 24 – Nov 21)
Relationship is bringing all the ructions in your being to the surface. It would be easy to lay the cause on mitigating external factors but that would be amiss. Somehow that which has been in the dark is being brought to light.

SAGITTARIUS: (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
All your grand and beautiful foibles are being brought to light by the immovable mirror of practical reality. Whether you succeed or fail doesn't matter half as much as whether or not you manage to stay lovable in so doing.

CAPRICORN: (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
This is a peculiarly sensitive moment. You aren't being who all the astrological textbooks say you should be. Thin of skin and touched to the quick by a feather, you are in no mood to be pushed around. Embrace don't analyse.

AQUARIUS: (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
The Taurus Moon is making sure you don't remain cool and aloof. It is feeding you muffins, pouring you hot baths and generally pampering you into submission. If you aren't getting it, check to see if you are refusing the offer.

PISCES: (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Your drive is presently to nurture. There is plenty around that is calling out for it. There are also numerous simple ways near to hand that can easily deliver the promised affection. Be loving, sensual and alert to your dreams.

YOUR DAY
The Taurus Moon is functioning like a gravitational pull on our aspirations. For those who would rather their aspirations remain pies in the sky this will feel like a downer. For those who really want to make hay, it is a feast.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
There is plenty in the air that spells nourishment. Let your senses get into the act, along with your natural gifts of perkiness and enthusiasm. Call on all that you know of love and courage, to express your interests abundantly.
