KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You can now make a play for power. Use guile to achieve your aims and when the competition hots up, keep a poker face. You have a distinct advantage over those who wear their hearts on their sleeves.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
You benefit from lateral thinking. A combination of charm and logic help you sell innovative ideas but it is your unusual turn of phrase that really wins others over. Make your mark on the world.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
If someone twists the truth, you will know immediately. The rose-coloured glasses have come off in relationships and you are becoming a master of playing others at their own game. Empty promises mean nothing today.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
By putting positive spin on events you escape retribution. Just remember to keep a track of the tales you tell or you may inadvertently trip yourself up. Composure at all costs must be your motto today.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Rivalry acts as impetus for you to do better. When someone challenges your authority or intelligence you become more competitive and possessive about your place in the pecking order. Excellent results are forecast for Leo.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
An opportunity carries few risks but plenty of potential. The result may be greater freedom within the context of a close relationship or some financial relief. Diverse energies allow you to capitalise on your strengths.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
You opt for openness in a relationship. Ruling Venus in the sector governing social conscience keeps you both honest and eager to please. Despite giving more than you take, feelings of satisfaction ensue.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You hit it off with others and enjoy the lively banter. Excellent communication skills and perfect timing put you in the right place at the right time. Exploit new avenues for work, returns or creative expression.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
There are several ways around a situation but you must think logically. Put emotion aside and address issues in order of importance. Someone may feign distress in order to gain your attention or sympathy.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
You value other peoples' points of view. Moon in your sign deepens understanding and you pay more respect than usual to diverse opinions, methods and philosophies. You also give loved ones the benefit of the doubt.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Rather than using provocative words, tone down the message. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar and preserve the peace in the process. Take your time when devising a plan or putting forward your case.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Your uncanny instincts alert you to potential problems. To the outside world you may seem distracted but in truth your eye is constantly on the ball. Take control in situations that require a sharp mind and steady hand.
YOUR DAY
Autonomy is extra important. Moon in self-determining Capricorn motivates people to climb the ladder of success and gain status without help from others. This is the time to aim high and act with confidence.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
You are prepared to work for what you want. Security looms as an important issue and self-motivation is the key to achieving your aims. Relationships are under stable stars in the year ahead.
