KEY POINTS:
         ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)   
Rather than taking the soft option, confront challenges head-on. 
Adversity brings out your best qualities and the thrill lies in the 
chase.  If necessary, be prepared to exercise authority over those 
further down the pecking order.
 
TAURUS: 
         (April 21 to May 21)   
Your reputation as a straight-talker is enhanced as the Moon moves 
away from your sign.  You become the soundingboard for people with 
personal problems, yet are also on the receiving of good advice or 
welcome affection.
 
GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)  
If you are high on hope but low on resources, the scales of success 
could swing either way.  Act decisively and rally support from people 
who have influence or good contacts.  Your communication skills are 
always a plus.
 
CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)   
A gentle nudge or timely reminder pushes you in the right direction. 
If you are given a rare chance to blow your own horn or redeem 
yourself, grab it with both hands.  Opportunities could be fleeting 
this month.
 
LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)    
Having drawn the short straw in the recent past, you now get to pick 
and choose commitments.  This luxury comes courtesy of powerful 
planets in your sign and heralds the beginning of a much luckier life 
cycle.
 
VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)   
Blurting out every thought is insensitive more than honest.  Before 
launching into dialogue with others today, just remember that your 
behaviour could put pointless pressure on relationships or make a 
dent in your popularity.
 
LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)   
If you are secretly fixated on a person or topic, work hard at 
detaching yourself.  Curiosity can quickly turn to obsession and it 
is important to put emotional distance between you and the object of 
your interest.
 
SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)   
Focus on the positive and discount negative input from your peers. 
The Sun in Leo spreads sunshine at the peak of your chart and you can 
use it boost your status in the work place or community.
 
SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)   
Life often resembles a soap opera with you writing the script. 
Luckily you thrive on drama and tend to wilt when subjected to 
monotonous routine or relationships.  The planets are chiming in with 
positive but fiery energy.
 
CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)   
A long delayed decision nudges you in a new direction.  Clouds that 
have hung over you suddenly lift and you see with much greater 
clarity what lies ahead in the immediate future.  Makeshift plans 
also become permanent.
 
AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)   
Take the smartest rather than the most expedient option today.  There 
could be an atmosphere of passive resistance to deal with and you 
need to be an intellectual step ahead of others to gain the edge.
 
PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)   
Improved communication is offset a penchant for secrecy.  In other 
words, you are inclined to tell others what they want to hear rather 
than reveal the naked truth.  On a deeper level, hidden insecurities 
still haunt you.
 
YOUR DAY 
As events unfold, there could be unexpected or dramatic conclusions. 
And because of a tendency for people to embellish issues, it might be 
difficult to separate fact from fiction.  Focus on one problem or 
person at a time throughout the day.
 
YOUR BIRTHDAY 
Speak from the heart but avoid going overboard.  Your openness and 
optimism should help raise the spirits of those around you, 
especially from September through till March.  Cut the dead wood from 
your life and embark on enjoyable ventures.
