KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Energy is stirred in the social sector. And while your preference is for mixing with the young-at-heart, you are equally at ease engaging in serious conversation. Success breeds success during this fertile phase.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Wide-innocence could get you into trouble today. Think twice before taking someone's word as law and watch out for people with hidden agendas. Time spent checking facts might save face or money and prevent silly mistakes.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
You are both a rebel and diplomat today. Mars provides the audacity needed to challenge authority while lunar energy moderates your tone and approach. Somehow you slip under the radar and get your own way.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Silence the self-talk by keeping yourself active. Once you allow doubts to creep in, opportunities can easily be lost and confidence quickly eroded. Practice makes perfect during this busy but potentially rewarding period.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Moon and Mars in Leo balance your yin and yang. Relationships are an outlet for your feminine side, while masculine energy is expressed through mental and physical tasks. Others eagerly seek your objective opinions.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Your say-so carries weight today. You lead the pack when decisions need to be made and at times almost reach guru status. Although not entirely comfortable in the spotlight, deep down you enjoy positive feedback.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Having been bitten in the past you have learned a salutary lesson. Now, rather than jumping impulsively into situations your approach is cautiously optimistic and protocol is followed. Be open to input from other people today.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
A domestic decision must be made in consultation with family members. Keep a lid on your emotions during discussions and use logic to seal your arguments. You must earn the right to lead not take it for granted.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Analysis is your specialty today. Mercury the auditor triggers attention to detail and you evaluate each situation before expressing an opinion or making a promise. Getting back to basics helps ensure the best possible results.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
The relationship planet Venus encourages self-preservation. Use your acting skills to feign false bravado and that way no one can exploit your fears. Wherever possible, interact with people who have no axe to grind.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You balance self-rule with reliance on others. Mars in the zone of cooperation is an indicator that teamwork brings the best results, while stand-alone Saturn encourages independence at the appropriate times.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Gentle Venus bestows the gift of empathy on you. Others lean on you for support and sustenance but you must keep some emotional distance to preserve your own well-being. Look for the right balance today.
YOUR DAY
The benefit of Moon in Leo is that bold decisions can be made. People tend to come down from the fence during this period and take sides without compunction. Success flows from the power of positive thought.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
As a situation draws to a close, you start lining up new opportunities. Smooth transitions are forecast for the year ahead, primarily due to preparation but also because you know when to let go.
