KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You step out of someone's shadow and exert your independence. A new Moon in the ambitious zone triggers a desire to climb the ladder of success without assistance or approval from other people.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Large-scale events suit your expansive mood. Fresh lunar energy dominates the sector of higher learning, overseas connections and daring new ventures. A timely or lucky break may get you over the finishing line.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
If you are not up to a particular task, opt out. Reserves of energy build in the days ahead but in the meantime life remains a delicate balancing act. Clandestine dealings with others may be carried out.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
You start to feel more comfortable in your own skin. The reigning Moon commences a new cycle in the area of social acceptance, personal appearance and relationship harmony. Beauty comes from within and without.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
To keep life simple you find a place for everything. Neatness and efficiency are paramount to success, while creating a vacuum allows new interests to evolve. Delegate tasks to others if you feel temporarily overwhelmed.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
You can afford to gloat but choose to remain humble. The new Moon sees you chalking up wins before taking a well-deserved rest. Your once close-knit circle widens and the young-at-heart provide entertainment.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Family responsibility impinges on personal time. A fresh lunar phase in the domestic zone tempts you to loosen the apron strings and bring more balance to life. However, you feel trapped between duty and desire.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You keep the momentum going and retain the winning edge. Improved communication, an ability to think on the run and co-operation from colleagues are the potential driving forces for Scorpios this weekend.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Money matters come under scrutiny during this new Moon period. The acid test is whether you can rein in spending and exist on a tighter budget. Long-term security must take priority over short-term gratification.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
You find yourself at the centre of the action. Energy levels begin to build, prompting you to expand personal interests and embrace new relationships. You have everything to win and very little to lose right now.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
If your patience wears thin, remove yourself from situations. Pointless nitpicking corrodes goodwill and plays no part in changing the behaviour of other people. The new Moon promotes patience and a practical approach.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Your humanitarian instincts rub off on others. Good causes and vulnerable people benefit from your effort, empathy and invaluable experience over the weekend. Charity begins at home but quickly spreads beyond your backyard.
SATURDAY
YOUR DAY
A new Moon in executive Capricorn creates a no-nonsense approach to life. Time-management is of the essence and wastage is frowned upon. People are generally more resilient and ambitious in this phase.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
You are on your best behaviour but still hold sway. Others rely on your leadership and wish to emulate the sensible way you conduct business. 2009 is a head down tail up type of year.
SUNDAY
YOUR DAY
Disappointment is not easily handled. Changes in plans, unreliable people or missed opportunities take on bigger proportions than usual today. It is tough to just roll with the punches and move on.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Results are hit and miss but you are prepared to experiment. Variety in your career, relationships or hobbies fills a need, despite the fact some of your notions are ill conceived.
