KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Self-discipline is needed to change bad habit patterns. Start by questioning your long-held beliefs and use mental strength to unravel the reasons behind current practices. A shake-up is quite possibly long overdue.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
If you turn over a new leaf personal circumstances could be more to your liking. The planets invoke change and confidence but there is also an element of luck that helps create perfect timing. Fast track events.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Your power base has been eroded but not obliterated. Work hard to rebuild trust in relationships, recoup financial losses or recapture lost love. Time heals all wounds but you might want to get a head start.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
An ability to pre-empt problems is a result of your inbuilt radar. You can get the jump on others today by making the most of your special powers and refusing to take orders. New beginnings are indicated.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Mars lights a fire underneath you and a sense of urgency replaces feelings of apathy. You are keen to take charge and indications are there will be more physical energy at your disposal during this period.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Rather than cashing in your chips try holding your nerve. Circumstances can change in the blink of an eye but if you panic, all could be lost. Trust your gut instincts and be prepared to take some chances.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Mercury, the planet of logic and reason, challenges you to stretch your thinking. Why not put your problem-solving abilities to the test either by working either alone or alongside others on those complex tasks.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
A little fancy footwork allows you to get the leap on others. Active Mars in passionate Leo keeps the adrenaline pumping, while friendly lunar energy teaches you how to make use of those valuable contacts.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Painting rosy pictures protects you emotionally but does nothing to resolve situations. Confront reality and tackle the tough issues head on. Clearing the air can help alleviate stress and breathe new life into relationships.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
You are being encouraged to spread your wings. Set ambitious goals for the immediate future but also seek a better balance in your personal life. Windows of opportunity could soon open up in different areas.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Deal with problems quickly and move on. Adversity makes you stronger, wiser and less inclined to place limitations on yourself or other people. Mercury the mind planet provides answers as well as witty comebacks.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Scars of the past are gradually being erased. Current planets present further potential for emotional healing and happier times to store in your memory bank. An apology, piece of news or encounter might raise your spirits.
YOUR DAY
Unsolicited opinions could prove timely. Mercurial energy helps people sum up situations at a glance and devise instant solutions to problems. Draw on intellectual strength at this time rather than relying on bluff and bluster.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
After a sluggish start you find your feet. And while there is no mad desire to break the rules or your routine, restless urges necessitate minor changes. Lateral thinking could provide interesting solutions.
