ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Ruling Mars in your sign until the end of July provides a much-needed boost to your confidence, energy and chances for success. People will be captivated by your charm, inspired by your ideas and motivated by your enthusiasm.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Razor-sharp stars give you the edge and you will have a wonderful eye for detail, as well as an uncanny sixth sense. A puzzle that has you scratching your head can be unravelled through clever detective work.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
You may suspect someone's motives, but should draw the line at making speculative claims or unproven allegations. There is a real danger you will shoot your foot yourself in the foot and in turn lose all credibility.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Dubious claims coming from someone in your circle may heighten your mistrust of that particular person. However, you must be careful not to make jump to conclusions and should approach issues with a sense of fair play.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Rather than fine-tuning in an attempt to improve a situation, consider cutting your losses and starting afresh. Compatible Mars encourages to you take risks, trust your own ability and think outside the square. Opportunity knocks for your sign.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
It may be difficult to pinpoint exactly what is wrong with a relationship, your health, job or psyche, but niggling feelings of unease act as a warning. Dig a little deeper and be honest with yourself and others.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Renown for your wit, charm and rational mind, you may surprise others with your subjective appraisals or rigid thought patterns. Perhaps you want something so badly you are loath to seek expert advice or compromise

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
With a strong sense of purpose and desire to succeed, you will jump right into a relationship or new venture. Your willingness to take risks combined with shrewd negotiating skills and self-belief should get you over the line.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
A high-flyer may inspire you, but will also exasperate you. You may be in two minds this week as to whether you should jump on the bandwagon for a cause or venture, or opt for the peaceful life.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
You will be drawn towards like-minded people, feeding off their ideas, success and energy. In addition, Mars inspires you to make courageous decisions and Saturn suggests you will regain the upper hand in a venture or relationship.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
If you feel you are trapped in an unhappy situation or overwhelmed by responsibilities, perhaps it is time to review your options. Your main problems may be apathy about making changes or fear of upsetting the status quo.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Rather than handing the reins of responsibility or decision-making over to people you deem more competent, have faith in yourself and take an independent stand. You will be at your intuitive best when backed into tight corners.

YOUR DAY
The movement of Mars into its natural sign Aries sends people scuttling to find a new focus for their energies. This is a take-charge kind of day and self-motivation is a must for those looking to make their mark on the world. There could be a tendency towards criticism or blunt speech, but this will result in greater workplace productivity and better relationships.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Something may have to break down completely before it can be rebuilt in a better form. And whether this applies to a relationship, job or financial venture, you will know instinctively when the time comes to cut your losses. Your ability to bounce back from adversity is your greatest strength.
