KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Someone pours cold water on your ideas. Attempts to dampen your enthusiasm seldom work but there are limits when it comes to self-faith and patience. Avoid negative types wherever it is possible today.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
You come from a position of quiet strength. Positive emotional energy keeps relationships on an even keel and you happily interact with people from all walks of life. Affection flows back freely, completing the circle.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
The expectations of others weigh on your heart. Practice dealing with the varying demands by emotionally detaching yourself and sidestepping people with an axe to grind. Words are used as weapons today.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
A sudden about face changes your view. You go from perceiving a situation as negative to seeing events in a more positive light. Some of the magic returns to your life and relationships flourish.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Your conscience dictates the moves you make. Taboo issues are avoided and high ideals prevent you from acting unjustly in your business dealings. Moon in a practical zone keeps you on the straight and narrow.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Hard-to-please people keep you honest. Loyalty is at the core of your relationships and you give others what they want but expect nothing in return. Moon in Virgo keeps you attuned to your loved ones.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
You keep in constant touch with people and happenings to avoid being left out. Practical thinking is the key but to cover all bases, let your imagination or sense of humour kick in occasionally.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
An unexpected break is the catalyst for change. You maximise your chances by getting out and about, partly in order to create your own luck. Your deft handling of people is a bonus today.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
You stick to what you know best. With Moon at the top of your chart playing to personal strengths makes sense and ignoring personality flaws is wise. Remember that life is sweeter when shared with someone.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
What began as a low-key affair gradually snowballs. The planets indicate a flurry of activity but imply you feel excited rather than overwhelmed. Give free rein to some of your creative and financial aspirations.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
There is safety in numbers. Sharing territory, burdens and happiness eases stress but also keeps you emotionally satisfied. Take pleasure in being part of the crowd rather than living your life as a loner.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Your demeanour is reassuring and others confidently approach you. Lunar energy in the social section urges you to take charge and show kindness towards those around you. Life rewards good deeds in subtle ways.
YOUR DAY
The devil is in the detail. Read the fine print, check facts and keep a level head when dealing with others. Unnecessary criticism may be levelled at people who lack focus or act frivolously.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
You set goals and work steadily towards them. A change in temperament makes you more practical, diligent and less likely to scatter your energies. Others rely on you for sustenance and support.
