KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You appear confident but doubts linger below the surface. A tendency to take censure personally heightens anxiety and the secret to fighting your fears is emotional detachment. Keep your critics at arm's length today.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
If you bait people, expect them to fire back. Channel your playful energy into creative outlets today or spend time with those who are young at heart. A spontaneous get-together might also curb impatient urges.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
You would rather charm people than openly make demands. Because Mercury provides the gift of words, you play to this strength and have others eating from your hand. Barriers are broken down more easily today.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Moon in efficient Capricorn keeps you on the ball. Tasks take half the time and your usual trademark detours are replaced by a more streamlined approach. Your executive ability impresses the people around you.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
A mini-break could be just the tonic needed to sustain you. As a busier life cycle approaches, stress builds and your energy is gradually drained. At the very least, you must learn to switch off.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
If freedom is curtailed be philosophical and bide your time. Duty and responsibility come first but burdens look set to ease in days ahead. Put off the big decisions until there is a gap in your calendar.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Letting nature take its course is your preferred style. However, being a passive observer in the current cosmic climate could rob you of valuable personal prospects. Unless you make yourself more visible, nothing in life will change.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
A jolt from someone stirs you into action. It is important to be far-sighted and set goals that serve a useful purpose for everyone concerned. With a little deft juggling, you can be both practical and idealistic.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Keep adding extra duties to your list so that the backlog can be cleared. Putting off decisions is counter-productive and causes stress at home or in the work place. Tackle your least favourite chores first.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Take off the blinkers and see issues through someone else's eyes. You might be missing the subtle signals being sent out or are too afraid to consider alternative possibilities. Loosen up and you can cash in.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
A competitor gives you a run for your money. And although your sign usually prefers to play fair, you might be tempted to use underhanded tactics. Just be warned that your actions could backfire.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Allow yourself time to contemplate a proposed new venture. By weighing up all options and seeking expert advice you can drastically reduce the risk levels. A new life chapter has you primed for change and success.
YOUR DAY
Serious subjects come up for consideration. Keep a poker face and be formal rather than unceremonious in your dealings with other people. With the Moon in no-nonsense Capricorn there is an emphasis today on practical resolution.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
You are clearer about fiscal policy and future directions. Even better, hard work does not faze you and support for your plans is almost universal. 2008 sees you turning heads for all the right reasons.
