KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You march to the beat of a different drum but manage to stay in step with the majority. Fitting the conventional mould does not appeal at this time and you try instead to convert the unwilling.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
A dynamic work ethic sets you apart. Not all of your efforts bring tangible reward but a sense of satisfaction is enough in most cases. You accept that not everyone has your powers of endurance.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Someone who is a breath of fresh air renews your lust for life. You are challenged both mentally and physically, and mutual admiration quickly builds. Just be wary of leaving loved ones out in the cold.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Neurotic tendencies see you looing over your shoulder. Paranoid feelings might be unfounded but it is difficult to shake the sense someone is watching you. Confront a person or situation and put your mind to rest.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Factor in a contingency plan as events could go awry. Your deft handling of people remains solidly intact but outside forces play havoc with at the most inopportune times. You cannot control everything so keep calm.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Moon in the realm of the unknown encourages you to take adventurous risks. Let your guard down in social situations and surprise colleagues with your linear ideas. You should also expect the unexpected today.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
If heart and head are in conflict, follow your inner voice. Logic puts you on the right path and detachment allows you to make objective decisions. Mercury at a quirky angle gives you an unusual turn of phrase.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Put a different slant on subjects today. Unexpected twists and turns call for flexible thinking, while people outside your usual circle offer interesting ideas. The pieces of a puzzle fall slowly into place as the week progresses.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Attention is drawn to subject matter outside your area of expertise. Curiosity compels you to investigate further and ultimately a new dimension is added to your personality. Along similar lines a relationship takes a curious turn.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
You are on the case and eager resolve an issue. Expect kudos to come from all quarters, as you impress people with your analyses and problem-solving ability. You can afford to feel a little smug.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Changes require adjustment but life quickly gets back on an even keel. In spite of a reluctance to vary your approach or routine, in retrospect you will see that everything worked out for the best.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Despite the points of difference that arise you enjoy today's banter. Opening your mind and heart to new possibilities could lead to a golden opportunity in the future. File away facts and information.
YOUR DAY
An air of detachment mimics disinterest. Cool responses and aloof behaviour might be misread, so learn to look people in the eye when interacting with them. Life should be viewed through objective eyes but empathy is also important.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
You sense destiny is pulling the strings and react instinctively. Digging your heels in is counter-productive in 2008, while going with the flow helps you find a new niche. Start cutting out the dead wood.
