KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Certain revelations come to light and offer a different perspective. Removing the rose-coloured glasses gives you a more realistic and less glamorous view of life but it also eases the pressure.
TAURUS: (April 21
to May 21)
The truth sets you free. Mercury the communicator turns you into a straight talker with a dash of humility. You are able to captivate people and show them the reality of situations at the same time.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
As trends ebb and flow you remain true to yourself. Reigning Mercury helps you fight off peer pressure without impacting on your popularity levels. As other people jump through hoops you cruise along nicely.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Your test today lies in knowing when to delegate and when to take charge. You are a leader not a follower but cannot handle every detail yourself. Let trusted colleagues take the heat off you.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
De-cluttering helps create space for new and worthwhile projects. Saturn the minimalist planet teaches you that simplifying your life and routine saves money, time and energy. Be ruthless in your ventures.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
You build around core values and resist taking the easy options. And as a situation gradually comes together you sense the tide of opinion changing around you. Progress is slow but steady this week.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Your strength of will and creative mind are the perfect combination for success. Difficult decisions are reached through lateral thinking and followed through with resolve today. You are defined by your goals and achievements.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Use humour as an icebreaker. Wit and diplomacy are indispensable when you want to knock down walls, especially those erected by insecure people. You can also relax the rules a little at work, home and socially.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
An idea from left field may provide the answer to a problem. You buck recent trends and rather than going down the conventional path, experiment or respond instinctively. Advice given to others will be warmly received.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
You refuse to see yourself as a victim and graciously accept responsibility for your actions. Wisdom and inner strength empower you in times of crises or when a lesson needs to be learned. Hold your head high.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You turn situations to your own advantage by acting quickly and with optimism. With Mercury the theorist in your upbeat sector the glass is always half full and very few situations faze you this week.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
If there is a lack of feedback, prompt people to respond. By being upfront you are more likely to receive honest appraisals and answers. Life's hustle and bustle can be blamed for forgetfulness or lack of courtesy.
YOUR DAY
Open minds absorb useful and interesting information. Keep the channels of communication flowing, be prepared to experiment and look below the surface of situations. Surprise results or unexpected rewards could occur today.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
You actively seek change and are forthright with others. Saturn, the planet of ambition, emboldens you at a time when complacency could easily set in. Aim to reach your true potential in the year ahead.
