KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
A new situation requires you to dig deep but you are up for the challenge. Your reserve of inner resources and characteristically strong backbone give you a distinct advantage over others during the tough times.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
You might meet challenges head-on but will unfortunately hit a few brick walls. High-handed actions get you nowhere today and life is likely to run more smoothly if you work within your own limitations.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Play to your strengths and you can help end a long-running standoff. Handling delicate situations is your speciality today and others are likely to assign you to the role of referee when mediation is called for.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
There might be several different options to choose from but only one that is suitable. Mercury the mind planet remains static in your sign and whatever thought initially pops into your head is probably the right one.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
A last minute reprieve takes the pressure off having to make an unpleasant decision. In addition, Moon in your sign provides insight and you have the ability to smooth troubled waters without treading on anyone's toes.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
What originally appeared to be a trivial issue could turn into a drama. Learn to ignore the theatrics of those around you and put problems into perspective before addressing them. Yours must be the voice of reason.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Although you dislike being pressured, others have expectations and deadlines they would like you to meet. Fortunately you have planets working in tandem that allow you to breeze through situations without ever getting rattled.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You might lose one battle but win another. The secret is to move on quickly and take second chances whenever they are offered without allowing emotion to cloud your judgement. Use clever strategy and analysis as weapons.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Your ability to set difficult goals and achieve them is currently unmatched. Mars the motivator gives you a handle on how to tackle challenges without ever losing your cool or entertaining any negative thoughts.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Although you might feel comfortable in a routine or position, be warned that complacency could well be your enemy. Be bold enough to shake things up today rather than taking the path of least resistance.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Avoid getting carried away by your fertile imagination and face up to the truth of a situation. Reality might seem less palatable but only by being accountable for your words and deeds, can you earn respect.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
You have to work harder for less reward but self-sacrifice is an attribute that sets you apart from others. A genuine desire for successful outcomes drives you to finish a task that has lost its appeal.
YOUR DAY
Give people time to consider suggestions. Moon in the fixed sign Leo calls for patience but guarantees good results once an option is taken up. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar today and a little flattery will not go astray.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
If you are out of sync with someone, examine your part in the problem. Harmonious relationships help relieve stress and self-analysis is the key to creating that accord. This is also a good year to avoid the rat race.
