KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You are tougher on yourself than others. The planets engender suspicion or uncertainty and you feel compelled to create a good impression. Most of your fears prove unfounded but in the meantime, energy is squandered.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
You protect loved ones and thrive on harmony. Moon in the relationship sector makes you more aware of what makes people tick and ensures your own needs are also met. You are in a win-win situation.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
You can criticise others but must expect similar treatment. There is no room for double standards and taking responsibility for your own behaviour is fundamental. Public relation skills are a plus right now.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Despite one or two setbacks you make steady progress. The planets are gathering momentum and people with power or influence help bring you closer to an elusive goal. Celebrate each small success.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
You try harder than usual to fit in. The lunar energy causes a need for acceptance or approval and a tendency to make social mistakes. Self-awareness protects you from any real harm today.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Finding outlets for your energy is easy. Compatible stars help you shed inhibitions and open yourself up to new opportunities. If change comes through courage, you can expect a wonderful transformation to take place.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
You keep negative thoughts out by ignoring self-talk. Mixing with positive people is also an excellent diversion and source of useful information. Seek variety in your routine, relationships or the image you present.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
If you are touched by generosity, reciprocate in kind. The planetary patterns connect you to like-minded people and mutually beneficial rewards quickly flow from these liaisons. Your emotional or financial load lightens.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
You see the glass half full. Mercury the thinker transits your sign, making your mood lighter and mind more creative. Your optimism rubs off on others and that in turn produces happier relationships.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
A whirlwind of activity may catch you by surprise. However, you revel in the diversity and glean satisfaction from results achieved through creative and assertive effort. Opportunities are presented on a silver platter.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Shrewd thinking is your strong point. You translate thoughts effortlessly into words and can quickly turn new ideas into potentially profitable ventures. Your choices are mostly spot on during this clever and perceptive period.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Group dynamics intrigue you today. The lunar energy heightens your powers of perception and draws people of similar ability into your circle. There is no need to micro-manage or worry in advance about outcomes.
YOUR DAY
It is important to save face. Learn to read between the lines rather than asking for explanations and look below the surface instead of trusting first impressions. People say one thing and mean another.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
You are restless but not reckless. Follow through on burning desires, trusting your intuition rather than accepting advice from others. The potential exists in 2009 to take chances and stretch boundaries.
