ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
An error of judgement or slip of the tongue could come back to haunt you. The passage of Venus through Scorpio unearths secrets and lies, and makes it difficult to forgive, forget and move on with life.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
You are well placed to upgrade an aspect of your lifestyle or improve your image. An unexpected bonus or wise piece of advice may pave the way for greater financial freedom, happier relationships or improved self-worth.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
You may not have the luxury of time on your side, but you are clever at cutting corners and delegating tasks. Also, limited opportunities mean you must be spot-on in your decision taking and choice of partners.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Rather than working within your limits, push the boundaries and step outside your comfort zone. You are on a path of personal growth and the more personal or professional challenges you accept, the greater your rewards will be.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Venus in the family and domestic area may see some Leos beautifying their homes while others enjoy greater peace or harmony. To ease tensions, you must debate issues rather than simply wishing problems would go away.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
You might be a workaholic, neat freak or master of control, but with your sign in the spotlight others will respect rather than resent these traits. A sense of belonging fills an emotional gap or boosts self-confidence.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Vanity or a desire to feather your own nest may be your motivating force. Bear in mind that there is a fine line between need and greed, and questionable morals or ethics could well be your undoing.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Venus in your sign provides the missing x factor and makes you a magnet for friends and newcomers alike. You may be pleasantly surprised when your popularity soars or solutions to personal problems slot neatly into place.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Moon moving into Capricorn may compel you to take a tougher stand or drop out of sight. You will be more self-sufficient this week and less likely to let others cajole you into making questionable decisions or commitments.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Murky energy has made it difficult to separate thought from feeling, but as the week progresses issues will become clearer and a choice may be more obvious. Sidestep people who know how to manipulate or tempt you.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
To avoid regrets or mistakes, make sure you follow proper procedure this week. If you take short cuts, act in an offhand manner or put in a lacklustre performance, results will very likely reflect your efforts.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Obstacles can be overcome provided you are willing to work harder and sacrifice leisure time. Expect to regain the upper hand when a point of contention between you and an adversary is resolved in your favour.

YOUR DAY
Sun and Moon in practical earth signs increase productivity and accountability. Whether you are working towards a personal goal or as part of a team, outcomes will mirror input. Those who stamp their authority on situations and prompt others to sit up and take notice will be today's big winners. Give it your best shot!

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Your foundations may have been recently rocked, but things will stabilise in the months ahead. Lessons learned from the past should be put to good use and cautious risks must be taken to further a financial, emotional or physical cause. Your reserves of inner strength may prove your greatest asset.
