KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You refuse to take no for an answer. Moon in the go-getting sector is your driving force and you remain upbeat despite the obstacles placed in your path. It is your way or the highway right now.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Using verbal skills cleverly, you put forward a persuasive argument. Not only is your vocabulary and tone appropriate, but you also deliver the message in a silky smooth manner. People fall under your spell
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
A red flag warns of trouble ahead. Luckily you are on the ball and can identify problem areas before others are even aware they exist. You are hyper attentive but refuse to go on wild goose chases.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
By changing the dynamics in a relationship you achieve greater equality. The power is more evenly spread and blame can be apportioned to everyone involved in a situation. Personal responsibility is rated highly.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
There is a buzz of excitement around special occasions. You take on impossible tasks, lead from the front and happily experiment with different methods. There are no coincidences today, only superb timing and courage.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Acting on impulse brings instant gratification but prolonged problems. The planetary patterns emphasise cause and effect, so delay all decisions until you have methodically thought them through. Caution can be a lifesaver.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
You keep a tight grip on people or possessions. Rather than this being a reflection of your insecurity, it highlights the value you place on special things. Micro-managing situations suits your current mood.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Quick thinking is your forte today. It puts you a cut above others and helps in the solution of personal problems or family arguments. Your witty retorts are also a hit with the social set.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
You seize on an opportunity to make amends. Moon in your sign encourages closure of outstanding situations and allows you to move ahead with a clear conscience. Peace and harmony mean more to you than usual.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
In the lead-up to your birthday social events multiply. People you meet are not only on a similar wavelength but also play a part in the direction you travel next year. Savour the special moments.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Straight talking helps you put a salient point across. The content of your message may not be music to everyone's ears but the truth does set you free. Take the good with the bad today.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
You prefer useful dialogue to idle chitchat. Mercury, the planet of interaction, compels you to focus on serious issues and make those important decisions. Your problem solving ability is potentially second-to-none today.
YOUR DAY
Those looking for feedback may be pleasantly surprised. The planetary essence is honest and praise or credit is freely given where due. There is also an element of goodwill and safety in numbers.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
You make a rare connection with someone. 2009 looks promising for relationships, travel or reaching special milestones and targets. Let your mind wander and be open to a change of scene.
