ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
There is a chance you will trip yourself up if you tell white lies, make sarcastic comments or emotionally manipulate others. Be honest and upfront, and use your clever mind or quick wit for noble purposes.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
If a relationship, job, or venture has reached make or break point, the results are likely to fall in your favour. Expect to emerge unscathed from a problem and look forward to new challenges in the weeks ahead.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Sharpen your claws and keep a close eye on the competition. Moon at the base of your chart suggests you could come up against someone who fights dirty and turns every discussion into a dispute about festering issues.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Personal problems take top priority and while you could be inclined to project blame, you will also be passionate in your efforts to resolve outstanding matters. Expect to bond with a person who once kept you guessing.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
The planets send you on a peacekeeping mission and while it may be difficult to bring warring parties together, you are definitely the best person for the job. Vary your tactics to suit individual disputes and personalities.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
A little flattery from a newcomer or temptation from unexpected sources could see you acting out of character. Moon in your sign suggests bottled up feelings or desires are likely to bubble to the surface today.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
A relationship or situation that is completely out of balance needs your honest appraisal and heartfelt attention. Rather than seeking instant gratification or a quick fix, work out the best long-term solution to an ongoing personal problem.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
It may have been a long time coming, but you will finally put the pain of a past situation behind you and find peace. The planets endow you with good communication skills, big-picture wisdom and loyal allies.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
The star patterns trigger questions about your place within the family circle, status at work, or the value of a friendship. Just bear in mind that there is fine line between awareness and obsession this week.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
An urge to make personal or professional progress may see you formulating a radical plan or going against the tide of popular opinion. Fortunately, the cosmic energy favours your sign and daring decisions will be rewarded.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
People may expect more than you are prepared to give, but rather than voicing your objections you will probably retreat into your shell. Your ability to detach yourself from situations is your greatest asset in the days ahead.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
With Moon in opposing Virgo, you will subconsciously take on some of that sign's character traits. Some of you may play the role of perfectionist today, while others hand out advice or play the role of organiser.

YOUR DAY
It will pay to remember that every action has a reaction and no deed will go unnoticed. Moon in eagle-eyed Virgo suggests attention will be paid to detail and criticism will flow more freely than compliments. Tasks that require research, facts, figures or focus can be carried out with confidence, but relationships may suffer from a lack of empathy or tolerance.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
A situation may have reached its use-by date and you will be forced to seek an alternative. The key to happiness is not to dwell on what you have lost, but rejoice in the new opportunities that come your way in the months ahead. You are on a path towards personal growth.
