KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You are able to meet the expectations placed on you today. Several favourable influences combine to sharpen your instincts and evoke a competitive spirit. The bigger the challenge the more disciplined you tend to become.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Taking the moral high ground leaves you vulnerable to criticism. People may suspect you are setting double standards or pushing your opinions for personal gain. Try harder to treat everyone as equal.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Positive affirmations keep you afloat. An alignment of compatible planets brings out your optimistic side and even in the face of adversity you find a silver lining. Burdens are gradually being lifted from your shoulders.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Your curiosity spikes this week. Rather than tying yourself in knots over a situation you gently probe into issues that catch your eye. Working on a need-to-know basis is both wise and fundamental.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
You feel protective about a person or undertaking. Delegating duties to others is not an option and instead you take a special interest in the things closest to your heart. Promises made and given are honoured.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
There are no winners or losers in a situation. Instead everyone breaks even as a consensus or compromise is reached. Your clever negotiation skills and impartial opinions stand you in good stead today.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Now that you are on a roll it pays to keep the momentum going. Even those who normally resent being ordered around are more compliant and keen to follow your lead. Use a diplomatic tone with people.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You waver over some decisions and make others with certainty. Big-picture issues are less daunting than day-to-day choices, perhaps because the energy is so erratic. Defer unnecessary duties and take a break.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Despite trying to keep things simple, circumstances work against you. The Moon's unpredictable path in your house of communication could be responsible for crossed wires or last minute changes to plans.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Complex problems are your specialty. You are able to navigate your way through the maze of information until a solution becomes obvious. An ability to think outside the square sets you apart from other people.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
A shift in the balance of power helps you regain the upper hand. You are freed from constraints and can take the lead in your own unique way. Intuitive energy negates the need for endorsement by others.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
If your first try fails, use a contingency plan. Moon in the insightful zone alerts you whenever a change in tactics is necessary for one reason or another. There is no need to second-guess situations today.
YOUR DAY
The energy is rational rather than emotional. Twisted logic may be applied now and then but the blatant use of manipulation is less likely. Hyper-activity is a sign of boredom or rebellion.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
You set goals early in the year and adopt a conservative approach. Your reluctance to take financial risks or rock the emotional boat suggests steady progress will be made in 2009.
