KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Be prepared for criticism from the perfectionists. Because you are so focused on big picture issues, details could escape you and the usual near-enough-is-good-enough approach might not work today.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Someone who overstepped the boundaries of good taste or common sense can now be forgiven. You are in the mood to make allowances for less principled people, especially those who are well intentioned at heart.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
It pays to be extra vigilant with people today. Someone might try to confuse or deceive you and unless you remain aware, he or she will get under your guard. Use your natural powers of analysis.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Moon in your sign endears you to others. You can be vulnerable without fear of being hurt and honest without offending anyone. Practical assistance could come from unexpected sources during this helpful period.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
A fragile truce holds but you must play a passive role to maintain the status quo. Keep feelings of resentment or jealousy at bay and tell others what they want to hear. Pretence protects relationships today.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Sensitive lunar energy brings emotions to the surface. You mood might be nostalgic or nurturing and if loved ones hurt you are likely to feel their pain. Draw the line at being responsible for everybody's happiness.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
You consider an elaborate excuse acceptable, so it seems unfair when others refuse to believe your explanation. Try to avoid seeing yourself as the victim and bear some responsibility for a delay, disappointment or slip-up.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Having dug a hole for yourself the challenge now is work your way out. Unfortunately for you time is of the essence and some quick thinking is sorely needed. Lead with your head not your heart.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
You are driven by a desire to point score. And while not normally the tenacious type, you persist until a message is hammered home or a job you started is completed. Winning equates to success.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Recap events of the past six months and marvel at how far you have come. Now you can build on the foundations laid and set yourself up for personal or professional success in the future.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Venus in the public relations sector renders you the master of spin and self-promotion. Once your profile is raised and people are listening, getting your message across becomes much easier. Take advantage at every turn.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Criticism cuts deeply so be tactful today in your dealings with others. And if you are on the receiving end of someone else's scorn, try turning the other cheek. Tit for tat is a waste of time.
YOUR DAY
Mercury in Scorpio makes the memory sharper and mind more focused. Direct energy into tasks that require research or diligence and to better understand people, peel away the layers of their personality. The only real downside today is furtiveness.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Create your own luck by branching out. The more opportunistic you are, the greater your chance for success. Jupiter opens up new paths of communication and brings influential people into your life at exactly the right time.
