KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You show respect by considering both sides of an argument. There are no right or wrong answers but your ability to mediate helps bring about compromise. Take your cue from other people today.
TAURUS:
(April 21 to May 21)
Levels of satisfaction vary from situation to situation. They peak when your mood is upbeat and bottom out if your needs are neglected. Curb self-indulgence during this over-hyped period and remain humble.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
You are generous to a fault. Driven by a desire to satisfy loved ones, you willingly make sacrifices and glean pleasure from gift giving. Whether you donate time, money or advice others appreciate the gesture.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
You flee an awkward situation rather than face the music. Turning a blind eye is acceptable in the current cosmic climate but sooner or later a decision must be made. Give thought to your next move.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
A sense of belonging helps lighten your mood. Group situations are emphasised and you work the room like a pro today. People from varying walks of life each bring something different to the table.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
You try to understand where others are coming from but occasionally miss the mark. The key to successful relationships is having absolutely no expectations. If you start from that base, disappointment is not possible.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
If someone is critical of your methods, be open to alternatives. There may be a more efficient way to operate and practical thinking is the key. Life lessons should be seen as challenges rather than chores.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You feel comfortable and happy in the company of those on the same wavelength. Brainstorming ideas or networking contacts can lead to exciting new ventures and unexpected profit. Mix business with pleasure.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Lame excuses may not stand up to scrutiny. It is almost impossible to project blame onto others or talk your way out when backed into a corner. Tell your story honestly and accept the consequences.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
You stay on top by presenting a positive image. Moon in the maverick sector of your chart boosts confidence and gives you a charismatic or authoritative air. People are drawn into your web today.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
To keep the winning edge you must push yourself harder. Competitive situations require a combination of discipline and good timing, and if you can achieve both you will cross the finishing line before anyone else.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
You hold tightly onto the reins. The objective is to stop a situation or relationship from spinning out of control. If you remain resolute and realistic, chances are things will work out just fine.
YOUR DAY
Smart and savvy ideas can be converted into money-spinning schemes. A shift in energy stirs ambition but lateral thinking is required for maximum gain. Everyday issues may be lost in the excitement.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
You are restless but not a risk-taker. When impulsive urges strike you lean towards partial rather than full-scale change. Variety helps put some of the zing back into your life in 2009.
