KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You take an emotional breather away from needy people. Moon in your sign saps energy and it must be used sparingly for a day or two. Self-nurturing is more important than being of service to others.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
A sideways step may not change results but it keeps life interesting. Reaching the top is a slow process for Taureans and consequently the journey must be enjoyable. Speak your mind but be diplomatic today.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
From your current vantage point the overall picture looks clearer. Moon in the partnership sector suggests a secret alliance is starting to pay dividends and shows your social star is on the rise. Enjoy the exposure.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
A rowdy domestic tone is set by the lunar energy. Out of the chaos you eventually find order but in the meantime personality clashes are likely to occur. Give and take provides the only way forward today.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
There is a sublime difference between optimism and rashness. If a deal or person seems too good to be true, it probably is. Temper your enthusiasm and give yourself time before taking on any new commitments.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Confidence receives a boost and relationships are more harmonious. Sun in your sector of secret thoughts lightens up self-talk and generates optimistic ideas. You zero in on what is really important or pleasurable.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Your mood is decisive and constructive. A gathering of people or collection of ideas stirs up interest and you act without hesitation to produce results. Self-imposed limitations can be comfortably breached at this time.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
People you identify with offer empathy in return. In contrast, where there is no personal connection sympathy is difficult to muster. Wherever possible, stay on your own turf and mix in familiar circles.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
You bluff your way through tricky situations. People are unlikely to notice your lack of confidence or know-how, primarily because you put on such a convincing show. Very little daunts you at this point in time.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Your first impulse is to argue. However, on second thoughts you decide that debating the point is an exercise in futility. Time is actually better spent catching up on the backlog or taking care of personal problems.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
A lesson learned is a humbling experience. Moon in the message zone recommends you put pride and ego aside to focus on profound matters. When it comes to compassion you are a cut above the rest.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Praise might be faint but it is welcome. A desire to impress drives you and despite others being lost in thought, eventually your endeavours are acknowledged. There is money to be made from astute investments.
YOUR DAY
Haste makes waste in this high-powered lunar period. Slow the tempo and consider each move in a calculated way. Rushes of adrenaline can be used for physical activities or games of mental gymnastics.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Fads come and go but a few catch your fancy. During this capricious year you experiment and ultimately find a new niche for yourself. Life also throws up romantic interludes or exotic pastimes
