KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You stand firm despite resistance from others. Lunar energy bolsters confidence and charisma, suggesting you can win others over with quiet persistence. Put forward a sound argument but also play on your allure.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Speak your mind but avoid bullying people. Feisty energy triggers knee-jerk responses and you should allow some thinking time before answering back. Use honesty to promote a cause or help the underdog.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Lead the charge and ignore cynical people. You have a job to do and cannot allow your momentum to be impeded this week. Use the current sense of urgency to drive a project or relationship.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Commitments are demanding but your resolve is strong. You dig deep and tap into the wellspring of inner resources built up over time. The way you follow through on tasks draws gasps of admiration from others.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Your first priority is to lighten the load. After that you must put work, rest and play in proper proportion to create a better life balance. Whatever you no longer need or want can now be discarded.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
An unusual idea arouses your curiosity. The planets prompt you to think outside the square and make different assignments work to advantage. Any departure from conventional wisdom works for rather than against you.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
If the pace around you is frantic, you become more laidback. Dualistic stars see you playing opposites and yours could well be the lone voice of reason in manic situations. Desperate times call for extreme measures.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Trouble has a habit of creeping up on you. To stay one step ahead of the pack, use your inbuilt radar to sense what lies ahead. By remaining on high alert you nip problems in the bud.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
When you least expect them, rebellious urges strike. Deep down you sense change but prefer radical rather than subtle transformations. Variety is your oxygen and should be added to routines, relationships and regimes.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Interesting developments may unfold and affect your standing. Moon in the status sector hints at change but warns against making any rash moves. You must build slowly towards your prized goal or dream.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Your witty ways win reprieves from trouble. Others are quick to forgive and slow to condemn, especially in light of the fact you act without malice. Quick thinking is your greatest asset today.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
An event or encounter has a ripple effect. Excitement washes over you in waves but provides a glimpse of what lies ahead for the immediate future. Financial or emotional affairs receive a much-needed boost.
YOUR DAY
Promises are backed by direct action. Moon in straight-shooting Aries evokes altruistic pledges and the resolve to follow through. A handshake pact is almost as good as an airtight agreement at this time.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
You defer plans or store resources for a rainy day. This year brings pause for reflection and feelings of inadequacy or insecurity. Negatives are offset by the promise of a brighter future.
