KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Being in the limelight does not usually daunt you but at this time you prefer to stay behind the scenes. Privacy is important for your mental health and a physical recharge, so play a low-key role today.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
You are mindful of the nuances in relationships, an attribute that earns admiration from others. Now you go one step further and combine insight with pragmatism to help less fortunate people via wise words and deeds.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
A person who pushes your buttons might be mischievous rather than malevolent. Nonetheless, you will be tempted to bite back and go tit-for-tat. A much better tactic would be to turn the other cheek.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
You are at your diplomatic best and handle delicate issues with ease. Even people with fragile egos are unlikely to take offence at anything you say or do, and well-chosen words are your secret to success.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Taking the circular route adds certainty but also wastes time. Cut straight to the heart of issues and if something is lost in translation you can double back. Attention to detail can quickly turn into obsessive behaviour.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Your enterprise and enthusiasm go a long way to ensuring success. Even if there is a temporary personal price to pay for your dedication, hindsight is likely to show that your efforts were all worthwhile.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
You might be seduced by sweet-talk or the promise of a quick-fix but be warned nothing comes easy today. Look below the surface and ask a few pertinent questions before agreeing to a proposal or solution.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Quietly confident, you navigate your way through situations that might normally seem scary. You can even afford to let your guard down today and allow others to openly judge your efforts. Cosy relationships are a highlight.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
The ascending part of a journey is over and you can start coasting downhill. With the pressure off and more energy at your disposal, ideally you should turn your attention to matters closer to home.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Although naturally risk-averse, you pinpoint opportunities quicker than most. A mixture of information and insight gives you the edge but there is also an element of luck currently working in your favour. Jump straight in.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Determination can only take you so far. In addition you need support, capital and know-how to take on a new project. Be open to suggestions and use whatever means at your disposal to achieve an aim.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
You are often an enigma to others but your air of mystery is undeniably attractive. And with magnetic Mars now in compatible Taurus people gravitate towards you in groups and see you as leadership material.
YOUR DAY
A tendency to absorb the moods and feelings of others is a hallmark of Moon in Scorpio. Emotional detachment is the secret today but at the very least it would be wise to avoid mixing with people who give off negative vibrations.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
You shine in unusual situations but can be a shrinking violet in familiar company. This year you are being encouraged to broaden your horizons and take chances in life. One choice you make looks likely to prove pivotal and profitable.
