KEY POINTS:

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Let a strange scenario play itself out before judging the impact. In
the spirit of today's energy, events need to be put into context
rather than adjudicated on every detail. Patience pays off in
significant ways.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
You have what it takes to lead and teach. Put gifts to good use by
initiating plans or inspiring others to chase their dreams. Mercury
the messenger leaves your zone of interaction soon, taking some of
the impetus with it.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
To develop a healthy rapport with others look for common ground.
Your affable nature and non-stop ideas help you put people at ease
but remember to curb your impatience and tendency to mock.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
A tendency to overblow issues or emotions captures attention.
However, if you lay it on too thick people might quickly turn their
backs. You must avoid crossing the line between eliciting sympathy
and crying wolf.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Prepare yourself for possible confusion by double-checking details
and messages. Once you take your finger off the pulse, mistakes are
likely to be made. Adopt a hands-on approach today and try to avoid
delegating duties.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
You outshine your peers in certain situations and happily play
subordinate in others. Moon in your relationship sector makes you
more responsive, so that you know exactly when to step up or take a
back seat.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
If a request seems inappropriate, refuse to give an answer. Despite
your principle of peace at all costs, the line must be drawn when you
feel uncomfortable in situations. Nobody will judge you harshly for
honesty.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Pay attention to pertinent points but avoid getting bogged down
detail. Instead use your eagle eye and steel-trap mind to conquer
the big picture issues today. You can still aim for perfection but
on a larger scale.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Someone who has tricked in the past should be made to work at
regaining your trust. You are innately forthright and forgiving but
need to learn that not everyone shares these idealistic tendencies.
Show some cynicism.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Breaking an impasse requires both mercy and cooperation. Swallow
your pride and listen to explanations, bearing in mind that an
adversary's reasoning might be as valid as your own. Once free, you
can move on with life.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Contentious issues arise and whilst you love a good debate you are in
no mood to argue. Remember, everyone has a point of view that is
worthy of a hearing but the tone must be kept civil.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Touchy-feely stars add warmth to relationships of all genres. And
having someone to share those special moments or celebratory events
with can make your life so much sweeter. Stick with the crowd today.

YOUR DAY
The Moon in passive Pisces is at odds with Sun in lively Leo. As a
result, head and heart are in conflict and second opinions should be
sought. The chance for major personal problems is relatively low,
provided ego is set aside.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You rediscover hidden talents and exploit them for new ventures. You
have given your best to others now the time has come to take care of
yourself. Be brazen and if mistakes are made see them as learning
experiences.
