KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
An issue of conscience may arise. Integrity overrides self-interest but resentful energy suggests you are not completely happy taking the moral high ground. The adage short-term pain equals long-term gain applies.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
You show mercy to needy people. If marks for effort were being awarded, you would be amongst the highest ranked today. Your example is likely to be a valuable lesson for insensitive and self-absorbed types.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
If you feel like a square peg in a round hole, celebrate your uniqueness. Nebulous energy makes it difficult to fit in, but your ideas and creative endeavours are second to none. Act on your hunches today.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Escapist tendencies see you making daring moves. Moon in the daredevil sector prompts you to go along for the ride or break out of a mould. Your strong powers of persuasion bring others on board.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
You douse the flames quickly when anger is ignited. Containment is your way of avoiding confrontation, while instinct provides you with a reliable warning signal. You protect yourself further by ignoring criticism and crass comments.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Compatible lunar energy makes it possible to squeeze the last bit of juice from a pleasurable situation before moving on. The swings and roundabouts of life are accepted with good grace and a sense of humour.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
A problem is put into perspective. Either you physically distance yourself from the issue or wise advice from someone restores your objectivity. If you see things in a different way, adversaries can become allies
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You believe anything is possible but fall short on motivation. The energy is dreamy and what initially seems like a good idea turns bad when you realise the work involved. Stick to routine tasks today.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Your language may be contentious but the message is plain. Despite taking no pleasure at all in the discomfort of others, your preferred method of dealing with troublemakers is by means of tough love.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Normally you err on the side of caution. Now risks seem almost sensible and even the most ambitious targets are worthy of your commitment. The mix of daring, dutiful and dreamy energy is a winning formula.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You place someone on notice and ignore implausible excuses. There are no halfway measures at this point in time and you believe people should put up or shut up. Your actions surprise some and please others.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
You give freely in order to win hearts. There is also a need to ease your own conscience in light of recent past mistakes. Begin the day with good intentions and try to remain consistent throughout.
YOUR DAY
Empathy and earthiness blend into one. There is a way of looking at situations that is sensitive without being wishy-washy. It is impossible to separate heart and mind, so decide with both.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
You rely less on luck and more on individual effort. In the process you create your own destiny and secure a better future. Long-standing friends and faithful family members are your rocks.
