KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Contacts provide timely help or advice. Put out feelers when problems arise and wait for your network of associates to get back with the answers. Favours granted in the past might be repaid in remarkable ways.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Debate over a sensitive issue could cause tension. Remember to mount a rational argument when having your say and try to speak in a diplomatic way. There is nothing to be gained from badgering people.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Take a breather before throwing yourself into yet another fray. Life is about to become busier and with more demands on your time, finding the right balance is important. Listen to your body and rest when necessary.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
A sympathetic ear might be hard to find. Keep trivial complaints to yourself and only ask for assistance when the going gets really tough. Your credibility must be established in order to earn respect from others.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
The romantic in you overshadows your practical side. People respond positively to your advances and in turn you see only the goodness in others. Quirky ideas and out of the ordinary companions are especially appealing today.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Recycle an idea or pick up where you left off in a relationship. Despite disappointment or poor timing in the past, a second chance allows you to turn things around. The good news is fate works in your favour.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
You have ironed out flaws in a relationship but still suffer frustration. Bear in mind that nothing is perfect and compromise on minor points could be the key to harmony. Trust both your instincts and associates.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Rebellious behaviour is applauded rather than criticised. Knock down those walls of opposition using left-field ideas or methods and you will succeed where nobody else can. There are more wins than losses forecast.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Mercury the messenger becomes the bearer of good news. A financial windfall, physical breakthrough or the celebration of an achievement could be just the tonic you need to lift your heart and spirit.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
The planets challenge you to adopt a different style. Rather than throwing your weight around you could try a more subtle approach and show some compassion. There is nothing to lose from being nice to people.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You trust your instincts and ignore the detractors. That inner voice rarely lets you down and there is more chance of victory today if you go against the tide of popular opinion. Try not to gloat.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Because you see situations subjectively the big picture sometimes escapes you. Look outside your own environs and you might be surprised by the opportunities on offer. New experiences can light up your life.
YOUR DAY
Altruistic energy influences people to act for the greater good. Working for a worthy cause can bring deep satisfaction, so make a bona fide effort on someone else's behalf. Charity actually begins outside the home today.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Accept that nothing stays the same and roll with the punches. You cannot halt time or progress, so learn to love yourself and accept current circumstances. Some spiritual sustenance might help you understand life better.
