KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
A beginning or ending takes you by surprise and despite some initial resistance on your part, outcomes work in your favour. Ruling Mars guides you in the right direction and gives you a renewed sense of purpose.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Some sweet-talk and flattery gets you what you want. Others are more likely to comply when requests are sugarcoated and subtle persuasion is applied. Your intentions are pure and worthy of good results.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Be specific about what you want today. Too much diplomacy could leave others uncertain but if you spell instructions out clearly, nothing can be lost in translation. Good intuition is currently one of your best assets.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
A supportive family and familiar environment is vital to your welfare. Your ruler the Moon might trigger episodes of insecurity or shyness and you would be wise to stick close to home for the next few days.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Mixing things up adds variety to your daily routine. Move in different circles, subtly change your image, or set yourself some complex tasks. New challenges help break you out of complacency or a rut.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
You can negotiate with people who normally drive a hard bargain. The secret is to trade off something they want in return for your heart's desire. Use charm rather than trying to wear the opposition down.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
The energy is tactile and you welcome closeness with loved ones. Similarly, the team spirit applies in practical matters and your chance for success doubles when you join forces with like-minded associates.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Work ahead of schedule where possible. There might be minor distractions or delays down the track and it is prudent to gain advantage wherever you can. An ability to focus is one of your best assets.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
You pull your weight with minimum fuss. And it is your capable, unassuming manner that earns respect and admiration for other people. Some results are likely to exceed your expectations in the days ahead.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Despite being occasionally out of sync with someone, the relationship remains rock solid. Past history is the glue that binds you together, while inherent loyalty prevents you from giving up easily. Forgive and forget today.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You might be intrigued by someone but should avoid relinquishing power to that person. Be discriminating in your relationships and place a high value on your own independence. A break from routine could be the best tonic.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
If you have a point to prove, put it across quietly. The sledgehammer approach is unsuitable and the more you browbeat people the less likely they are to listen. Take baby steps towards your chosen goals.
YOUR DAY
The blame game could come into play today. People might use it to deflect responsibility or for the purpose of self-preservation in relationships. Even if there is no malice intended, the tendency is to attack rather than defend.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Staying focused is a challenge but one you are prepared to take on. Newfound maturity and a desire for success are your driving forces, plus you also have a point to prove this year.
