KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You feel relaxed giving orders but uncomfortable taking them. A battle of wits could erupt today as someone attempts to get the better of you. Try to see situations from both sides of the fence.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Mars in the fun sector of your chart urges you to shed inhibitions. Play the role of leader and doors could open or new social contacts will be made. You can be amusing yet still be taken seriously.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
You gradually restore lost faith. There is still work to be done before a relationship is back on track but ruling Mercury helps you make a solid start. Be honest with others and let your actions speak.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
You give positive encouragement to others. Past experience has taught you that praise is a confidence booster and criticism can cut deep. Mars, the planet of action, provides you with the gift of words.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Dispense with formality and broach subjects in a relaxed way. Moon in the zone of casual interaction sends you back to the drawing board in order to devise a simpler approach. Others like your newfound affability.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
If you are stuck in a groove, claw your way out. Left-brain thinking is required and the more outrageous your ideas are, the better chance they have of working. Ditch outmoded methods instantly.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Money serves a purpose and for that reason you treat it with respect. Something you want or need becomes grounds for penny-pinching behaviour and personal sacrifice. The end ultimately justifies the means.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You stand up for your rights. The fine line between pleasing people and playing the role of martyr should not be crossed today. Instead you must state your case openly and without fear of reprisal.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Substance and style are rolled into one. You can create a good first impression by projecting an eye-catching image and backing it up with sensible language, well-researched facts and confident delivery.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
The success or failure of a project lies in your hands. Provided you have put down solid foundations and paid close attention to detail, there is every reason to believe success is just around the corner.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You can make a difference if you take the initiative. Moon in your social sector provides good communication skills, while Venus backs it up with a desire for success. The bonus is a strong sense of satisfaction.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Although blindsided by the unexpected you manage to juggle several tasks at once. Family or finances are the main distractions and you deal better with the practical than the emotional. Keep a smile on your face.
YOUR DAY
Quirky solutions work in a spontaneous way. There are no right or wrong answers but those who think laterally could be major prizewinners today. Spontaneous gatherings produce the most pleasurable moments and memories.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
The reins come off and you break into gallop. This year sees you bursting with energy and eager to experiment. Something or someone new enters your life on the back of a loss.
