KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
If someone tries to emulate you, take it as a compliment. But if anyone attempts to steal your thunder, lodge an objection. There is a fine line between acting a role model and allowing others use all your ideas.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
A valuable lesson has been learned and you can now put it into practice. The challenge is never to repeat past mistakes but use them as a springboard for future success. Remember, winners are grinners.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
The mood is risk-averse and investments must be protected. Avoid impulsive moves and study possible consequences before making any long-range decisions. Your attitude towards someone may need tweaking for the sake of fairness.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
You might be open to minor adjustments but against completely changing a plan. The current cycle is all about stability and security, so stick to measures recently put in place. Someone may try to influence you.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Intelligent planets make it easier to assess situations at a glance. You are also currently adept at thinking on your feet and firing back quick responses. Getting through to others on a deeper level might be more difficult.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
You thrive on a job well done and for that reason devote yourself solely to one task. Situations that others find tedious suit your mood but you should be wary of taking too much on board.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Use honey rather than vinegar to win people over. Planets in the nitpicking zone lower tolerance levels but if you put extra thought, time and tact into the presentation, your suggestions should be well received.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Obstacles can be overcome but extra effort is needed. Tap into those inner reserves of strength and wisdom to help you through, or lean on others for assistance. Minor problems take care of themselves today.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Avoid taking risks without at least some guarantees. Decisions need to be well thought out and long-term implications weighed up against short-range benefits. In addition, fiscal constraints must be factored in.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
If indecision strikes tackle the practical chores first. It is important to avoid creating a backlog and once inspiration returns, you can focus more freely on creative tasks. Don't be too hard on yourself today.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Go for quality over quantity during this cycle of refinement. This applies to your relationships, material issues and the tasks you perform for others. Unless it is pleasing to the eye, you are unlikely to show interest.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Protecting your rights and beliefs is admirable. However, you should avoid arguing over petty points of difference and try to see the big picture. By choosing your battles carefully, there is more chance of winning the war.
YOUR DAY
Aim higher to achieve satisfactory results. There is a lack of urgency in the stars and expectations must be raised in order to retain current standards. Hard-nosed decisions should be left for a more suitable time.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Jupiter in the extroverted quarter draws you into the public arena. Forget about hiding your light under a bushel and flaunt your talents, make new friends or engage in self-promotion. This is a lucky period.
