KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
It takes some fancy footwork to sidestep every emotional issue but you manage to succeed. The mood is detached and yours is likely to be the lone voice of reason in an otherwise melodramatic environment.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
As the momentum in a project slowly builds, careful planning begins to reap rewards. The danger now is that you are tempted to hasten events and might undo all your good work. Be patient a little longer.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Moon in your sign generates goodwill and as a consequence relationships cruise along nicely. You are more involved on an emotional level than usual and others appreciate your newfound ability to listen, support and nurture.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Random events ultimately tie together and begin to make sense. However you must continue taking life in your stride and if feelings of frustration threaten to boil over, practice your own version of meditation or relaxation.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Mercury, the planet of contact, puts you in touch with soulful people. An opportunity to confess or confide flows from deep and meaningful discussions. There might also be an opportunity to form a mutually rewarding partnership.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Issues relating to your loved ones should be handled delicately and diplomatically. The scales of confrontation are finely balanced but conflict can be avoided through greater self-awareness. Perhaps the less said the better today.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Luck is on your currently side and people view you in a positive light. This mix encourages you to embark on a daring course of action but it also protects you from making silly mistakes.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Someone who is affable but aloof sends out mixed messages. You are likely to feel a sense of belonging one minute and rejection the next. The secret is not to take the moods of others personally.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Good relationships are often made better with a little fine-tuning. Take a proactive but light-hearted approach and listen to what loved ones have to say. At the very least you can make some sympathetic noises.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
You are regarded by most as a tough but fair taskmaster. However, there is a fine line between taking control and coming across as pedantic. Make sure you act without malice when dealing with others today.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Routinely outspoken, others might be surprised by your sudden willingness to toe the party line. For the next few days, the relationship planet Venus acts as a buffer between you and the outside world.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
By working harder and smarter, you earn respect or recognition from others. Life might seem like more of an uphill battle but then victories appear so much sweeter. Accept challenges with courage and confidence.
YOUR DAY
Outcomes are likely to differ from predictions. However, the fun today lies in an element of surprise and the most effective coping tool is flexibility. Some people might choose to have the final word while others choose their language carefully.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
It's time for an infusion of fun and romance. Cast off your cloak of responsibility occasionally but keep an eye on financial and relationship opportunities throughout the year. Your social network or overseas connections could expand unexpectedly.
