ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You can renegotiate a relationship or contract in the knowledge excellent results will be achieved. Second efforts and chances come under favourable stars, and any lingering self-doubts will gradually melt away as the week progresses.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Domestic and family issues need special attention and the message for your sign is act quickly or the opportunity will slip away. Attend to unpleasant duties first and work your way up to the most rewarding tasks.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Short trips for pleasure or business could bring an unexpected jolt of nostalgia or happiness. In addition, interaction with siblings, friends and colleagues will flow smoothly as your needs are met and personal horizons expand.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
You may be left wanting in the emotional area, but most of your material needs will be met. Something you have coveted but could not obtain now comes within grasp, thanks to help from an unexpected source.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Just when you think life couldn't get any busier, fuller or more diverse, another challenge arises. Moon in your sign sets off emotional sparks, but it may make you feel weary or rob you of your privacy.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
A boost in self-confidence reduces your need for acceptance or approval from others. And those negative thoughts that have dogged you for months dissipate, as you switch into a positive state of mind. Act on your gut feelings.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
A timely reminder or wake-up call helps catapult you into action after weeks of apathy. Your wisdom and foresight can be used in positive ways by passing on advice to others or avoiding repetition of past mistakes.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Your heart may be in the right place, but with the Moon at an awkward angle your timing could be off or your intentions will be misunderstood. Be brisk and businesslike, and avoid being drawn into contentious situations.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
A desire to win someone over could see you going to great lengths this week. And whether heart or head is ruling you, indications are you will achieve your aim. Enthusiasm and patience are both strong points.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Details are important and whether you are making social arrangements, formulating a business plan or simply setting a daily agenda, you must double-check all data. Cutting corners and making educated guesses are not options today.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
The chemistry between you and someone who appears to be your opposite may be undeniable. Listen to your head rather than your heart as a frequent tendency of your sign is to over-analyse people and situations.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
An air of authority may give you a slight edge over others, but just be careful you do not come across as arrogant. Despite a boost of planetary energy, you may feel out of sorts or neglected.

YOUR DAY
The Aries Sun, Leo Moon combination balances bursts of eagerness with bouts of laziness. People may be all gung-ho one minute then totally disinterested the next and the secret to success lies in letting others work at their own pace. There is also likely to be competition in the work place or socially, as everyone vies for their fifteen minutes of fame.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Your life may feel more cluttered this year with extra people, responsibilities or possessions taking up space. And while you might be able to delegate certain duties, you will no doubt enjoy being needed and busy. A joint venture or shared memories could bring you closer to that special someone.
