KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You can safely set difficult goals and achieve them. Inspiring energy gives you a handle on how to tackle challenges without losing your cool. Others are likely to follow your lead and
greater productivity can be achieved.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Although you feel comfortable in a current position you are aware complacency could sink in. Be bold enough to shake things up a little rather than being tempted to take the path of least resistance.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Avoid getting carried away but use your fertile imagination in practical or clever ways. Provided you are accountable for your words and actions, success, respect and financial rewards could soon come your way.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
You work harder for less reward but self-sacrifice comes easily. Moon in your thoughtful zone feeds a desire to help others and you make it your mission to find worthy causes. Teamwork delivers excellent outcomes.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Your inner reserves of strength come in handy. Mars, the planet of courage, makes it possible to dig deep and take on challenges others recoil from. Be proud of your efforts without appearing smug.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
A brick wall looms before you but it can be climbed. Work within your limitations and chip away at problems rather than allowing them to consume you. Someone's high-handed manner might rile you today.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Play to your strengths and you can break an impasse. A delicate situation might need a mediator and you are currently the perfect person for the job. This week could mark the turning point in a relationship.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
If you have several different options to choose from, let instinct be your guide. Mercury the mind planet is static in your perceptive realm and the first thought that pops into your head should be acted upon.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
A last minute reprieve takes the pressure off. Moon in your sign acts as a guardian angel, putting you in the right place or ushering in timely encounters. Take respite in pleasurable pursuits or quiet moments.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
You can turn trivial issues into dramas by dwelling on them. Switch off the nagging voice inside your head and put problems into perspective before addressing them. Talking to someone you trust might also help.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
If you resent being pressured by people, strike out alone. Set your own standards or deadlines rather than trying to live up the expectations of those around you. The cosmic energy is on your side.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
You might lose one battle but win another. The secret is to move on quickly and take second chances without letting emotion to cloud your judgement. Make clever tactics and self-analysis your preferred tools of trade.
YOUR DAY
Leeway must be granted today. Moon in freedom-loving Sagittarius denounces rigid routine and favours the natural flow of events. Clever and creative results can be achieved during this pioneering lunar phase.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Life is more to your liking. Recent turbulence settles and you fall into a rhythm of sweet relationships, steady employment or satisfying leisure pursuits. Even sacrifice comes easier to you in the year ahead.
