KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Your romantic streak emerges and you view situations through rosy spectacles. This phase will be fleeting, so unleash passion and optimism while you can. People with dazzling ideas inspire you to act on impulse today.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Picking up where you left off is a privilege you never expected. As a lunar eclipse approaches, second chances and happy coincidences put you in an upbeat mood. Others show kindness in times of transitory distress.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Your high expectations could cause disappointment and a reality check might be in order. There is still reason for hope but you must be more outward looking. As a situation climaxes, practical tasks must be taken care of.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Rather than beating a hasty retreat you feel inclined to face the music. There are plenty of positives in the stars and confronting issues head-on is decidedly easier than usual. Strike while the iron is hot.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Your lack of guile endears you to others but makes you susceptible to manipulation. Keep all of your senses tuned and you can avoid falling prey to people with secret agendas. Also, stick to familiar company.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
What people say and what they mean are different. Learning to read between the lines is an art to be mastered but one that can give you the upper hand in relationships. Look below the surface of situations.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Ruling Venus in the zone of travel and learning inspires a broadening of current horizons. To hasten processes today you might consider cutting through red tape or approaching someone in authority for assistance.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Tension close to home is offset by an easier time in the outside world. Someone who wants to rule the roost might toss provocative comments your way in order to stir up trouble. Fortunately you have the answers.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Although inclined to shrug off unease, some niggling worries remain. Bite the bullet and investigate problems, bearing in mind that self-delusion is counter-productive. You must face the music before making a fresh start.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
A desire for approval might be your motivating force. Examine the reasons behind your actions and if lack of self-esteem is the problem, seek reassurance from the people around you. Turn negatives into positives today.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Moon in opposition reinforces the love/hate relationship you share with someone. Tension is probably created by competitiveness rather than a dislike or disrespect of each other. Arguments flare up abruptly but dissipate just as quickly.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
In the light of a significant energy shift, burdens ease and you feel more confident. A bonus or compliment could come your way and you take solace in the fact others value your input. Time to lighten up.
YOUR DAY
The energy is variable and plans could be cancelled when a better offer comes along. Where possible keep expectations low and avoid making unreasonable demands. A live and let live approach to life is critical today.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
If you are struggling with too many balls in the air, cut back on commitments. The energy is footloose and you should travel light while adopting a minimalist approach to life. Make 2008 a liberating year.
