ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
As details of a plan or proposal gradually unfold you will begin to get excited about the potential it holds. Involve others and network ideas, bearing in mind team efforts will yield the best results this week.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
You may have some doubts or reservations about a situation, but should avoid putting a negative spin on it until further information comes to light. Allow yourself some breathing space and do more research while you wait.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
With the possibility of a deadline or ending looming, you may have to summon strength, courage and energy. There could be a tendency for you to overlook important details today or project blame onto other people.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Someone who you once considered a competitor or adversary could soon become a surprise ally. You may find a difference of opinion fades into insignificance or you will have a change of heart about a contentious issue.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Adopt an air of authority, even if you feel weighed down or out of your league. Others will probably be impressed by your personality rather than what you know about a particular subject or situation. Take full advantage.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Guard your reputation and hide your emotions, especially if there are people in your environment who feel threatened by your success or personality. You may have something others covet or someone might try to exploit your weaknesses.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Use resourcefulness to extricate yourself from a tricky situation. Fortunately, you have natural charm and a way with words that should help captivate those you encounter today. A long-standing problem may be resolved in an unusual way.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You may have a tendency to keep secrets as a method of self-preservation. There is also a need on your part to protect your privacy, although the stars suggest you are probably being a little paranoid.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
You may be highly regarded by others, but must remember keep your ego in check at all times. The energy is quite pragmatic and it is important not to get carried away in the heat of the moment.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Although your energy levels receive a boost this week, you must find the right balance between work, rest and relaxation. If you put too much pressure on yourself, mistakes could creep in and mar your perfect record.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Your words or actions may be deemed offensive or offbeat, but you will have scant regard for what others think today. Meantime, Moon in your money zone could see you spending on only necessary or quality items.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Someone close to you may put up their defences, but in your own gentle way you will gradually break down barriers. You certainly have the power to win others over with sheer persistence this week.

YOUR DAY
Moon in a practical earth sign brings out the no-nonsense edge in some people and the stingy side in others. However, a tendency towards self-indulgence will apply pretty much across the board today. Too much of a good thing may be the undoing of many and it could take twice as long to complete ordinary tasks. Discussions about money will be commonplace.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Saturn limits the progress you make with a project around the house, a needy relative, or personal ambition. The brakes come off late July and you will scramble to make up for lost time. Jupiter hints at travel for you and your partner, and also suggests a surprise bonus or legacy.
