KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
A countdown commences and you can't wait for the lift-off. In the meantime, a few last-minute crosschecks might avert disaster. Your ability to pinpoint problems is superior to many in your environment.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
A lack of self-discipline might catch you off-guard. Go easy on yourself today, as the current lunar cycle is coming to a close and energy levels are likely to wane. New beginnings are on the horizon.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
The happiest times are those spent with supportive people. You are at a sociable peak and if you mix in the right circles, there are potential personal benefits down the track. Network ideas and information freely.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Be gentle with yourself and accept that old wounds take time to heal. The best way to distract your mind from pessimistic thoughts is to engage in pastimes you love and mix with happy people.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
A meeting of minds or flirtatious episode brightens your life. Partnerships hog the spotlight and you revel in one-on-one encounters with others today. Defer change or a new venture for a day or two.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Yours is the voice of reason in an otherwise emotional environment. But despite the best of intentions, there is a sense that consensus might be difficult to reach. Ponder new strategies and apply them at a later date.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
A twist of fate works to your advantage. The Moon is agreeably aligned and helps bring about a change in fortunes that delivers a burst of optimism. A project you recently set aside can soon be resurrected.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Someone from the past might reappear on the scene or pop into your subconscious. Just be wary of glorifying prior situations and be realistic in your relationship expectations. The impending new Moon prompts a reality check.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
In a departure from your usual style you are apt to approach situations cautiously. Having recently learned a valuable lesson about promising or doing too much, you now think twice before making any firm commitments.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
The backlog of work or messages might have to wait a little longer. Your mind and spirit are willing but with the lunar energy at its lowest ebb, making headway could prove difficult. Roll with the punches.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Protecting your own turf is a natural instinct. But the Moon's impending renewal in Aquarius makes you even more possessive and security-minded. Letting go is not an option for you at this particular time.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Set your own pace and put tasks in order of priority. In upcoming days an opportunity exists to seize back control and take a fresh look at life. Making independent decisions is part of the renewal process.
YOUR DAY
Arrangements are made and altered for no apparent reason. Where possible plans should be kept open-ended and allowances made for indecisive people. The good news is that strong overtones of friendship generate plenty of goodwill.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
As one life cycle ends, you reflect on what has been gained and learned. Take that wisdom and reward forward so that you can build on strong foundation stones already laid. Loved ones are behind you.
