KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Your softer side emerges and you attract like-minded types. Relationships receive a big tick from the planets, as does your social life and joint ventures of all kinds. Forgiveness comes easily during
this phase.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Ask probing even if you fear the answers. It is important to find out where you stand and what others are up to, particularly in light of the mysterious influences affecting your sign. Play it smart today.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Before expressing a contentious point of view make sure your beliefs stand up to scrutiny. Just when you think you have all the answers someone is likely to trip you up with an awkward question.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
You value privacy but love being included. Cater to both needs by allotting separate times for each and working co-operatively with others. Jovial Jupiter in the partnership sector puts a more positive perspective on life.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Be proud of the choices you make, regardless of what others think. The proof is in the results and it might not be long before people are jumping on your bandwagon. Expect to have the last laugh.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
You refuse to take your eyes off the ball or give up. Ruling Mercury not only keeps you on high alert but it also brings your tenacity and hidden talents into play. Success is almost inevitable.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Divided loyalties prompt you to please two sets of people. It pains you to disregard those who have been faithful in the past but matters of principle also come into play. Your fence sitting is perfectly justified.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Your thoughts spin and reaching conclusions is difficult. Mercury the theorist throws up different scenarios and because of its presence in your secretive sector, you are reluctant to discuss problems with others. Bide your time.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
You enjoy greater freedom while still making a valuable contribution. The culmination of recent efforts allows a little breathing space without stopping the momentum already built. You can now coast along for a while.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
The more you struggle with a choice the quicker self-doubts creep in. Make bold decisions, own your mistakes and take heart in the fact more wins than losses are forecast. Jupiter cushions your falls.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
A standoff sees you staring someone down. And while you are unlikely to blink first, today's victories could have any empty feel to them. Bear in mind that giving in is not necessarily a sign of weakness.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
At first glance a person or idea appears seductive. However, you must look deeper before falling prey to false flattery and or seeking quick solutions to problems. Use your analytical powers in the decision-making process.
YOUR DAY
With Moon moving into romantic Libra, idealism creeps in. If used positively, this energy can bring out the goodness in people. On the negative side it creates a fine line between self-belief and wishful thinking.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Use creativity to put your own unique stamp on events. Jupiter in the cultural zone encourages lateral thinking and lures you away from your comfort zone. Overseas contacts prove important in the year ahead.
