ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Someone with sense of humour or unbridled optimism may be just the tonic needed to help lift your spirits. And with affectionate Venus in your expansion zone, your friendship base may broaden or you will discover new interests.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
One of your irrational fears may prove groundless and you will gradually warm to a person or idea. It may have taken months to reach a particular point, but the wheels often turn slowly for your sign.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
You could be inclined to throw caution to the wind and make decisions based on intuitive feelings. Ruling Mercury in telepathic Scorpio provides you with an uncanny sixth sense and helps you uncover secrets or solve puzzles.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
There may be talk about money, a business deal, property, or long-term security issues. Many of you will seek to boost your income in the weeks ahead, while others look for clever ways to cut costs.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Little things may irritate or dishearten you, but you will bounce back quickly. If the grass looks greener on the other side, bear in mind that what you need or desire could be right under your nose.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
It may be time to review certain aspects of your life and make a financial or emotional decision. You are entering a period of greater independence and the first step is to follow your gut instinct.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
With Sun and Venus at compatible angles, pleasure, travel, social, and business plans will begin to take shape. Some of you may form a mutually beneficial partnership, while others attend an impromptu event or make a snap decision.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You may feel like a fish out of water, but the quicker you adapt to change the sooner you will find your niche. Lower your emotional guard and try to avoid trying looking for ulterior motives in others.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Whether you are brainstorming ideas or engaging in one-on-one discussions, creative self-expression will give you the edge today. After months of indecision over an issue, new information could come to light that helps you move forward.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
You could come up against strong opposition and should try using the power of persuasion rather than pressure to put your point across. Others will warm to your ideas once you outline the benefits and possible outcomes.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
The temptation to sweet talk others and use subtle manipulation to get what you want can be blamed on planets in Libra. You will achieve much better results if you cut straight to the heart of matters.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Some of you may have difficulty breaking into a clique, while others simply defy convention and do their own thing. Either way you will feel out of sync with the majority of people and may suffer emotionally.

YOUR DAY
Moon and Venus combine to set new standards in relationships. Where there has been a tendency to freeze others out, a greater feeling of camaraderie may suddenly exist. As a result, those who have been trying to break into an established circle of colleagues or friends might now be welcomed with open arms. Self- control may be a problem.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Rather than being in a rush, you should reassess your position and slowly work towards change. Saturn provides the self-discipline needed to reduce spending, consolidate your resources and get into good physical shape. Expect more endings than beginnings as destiny steers you in a new direction.
