ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
Your ideas or methods may seem quirky to some, but left-field thinking will work well for you.  Just be careful not to scatter your energies, as it may be easy to lose focus or go off on tangents.

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
Size up the competition before putting yourself in the firing line or taking a tough stand on an issue.  You may be confident about your chances for success, but indications are nothing will come easy this week.

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
A tendency to sit on your hands and avoid taking part may protect you from trouble, but could rob you of a gold opportunity.  Shed inhibitions and be prepared to risk the odd hurt or failure.

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
All eyes will be on you, so try to remain on your best behaviour.  There is a strong case for seeking forgiveness, even if it pains you to admit you made a mistake or treated someone badly.

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
It may take an enormous amount of planning, energy and enthusiasm, but you will soon move one step closer to a dream.  Your sign has taken a few knocks in recent times and small successes should be celebrated.

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
Quality rather than quantity should be your goal, so take your time and aim for perfection.  Others may express interest in one of your ideas or will be seduced by the confidence and enthusiasm you exude.

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
Now is the time to make changes or redress the imbalances in your life.  Just remember to keep aims and expectations to a realistic level or you may disappoint yourself and let your loved ones down.

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
You will have a knack of reading between the lines, but may also be inclined towards paranoia.  Avoid listening to rumours or making assumptions about people and opt instead to think things through in a logical way.

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
Dealing with unpredictable people may try your patience, but open communication will help avoid problems.  A sense of finality about a situation or relationship could compel some of you to make plans for the immediate future.

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
The prospect of change or variety adds an edge of excitement to your weekend.  Friends and loved ones will be caught up in the mood and may pressure you to reveal your plans or make a decision.

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
Rather than going round in circles or getting hung up on detail, be concise and learn to cut corners.  There could be a tendency to make outrageous claims or promises that can neither be justified nor carried through.

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
Your moods may fluctuate or relationships will be out of balance.  Rather than expressing every thought or feeling, remain circumspect and keep people who push the wrong buttons at arm's length.  By mid-week the atmosphere will lighten.

YOUR DAY
People may seem more complex, but with extra effort a common thread can be found.  Moon in contrary Aquarius implies twisted logic may be applied to arguments and opposition to ideas or plans will be widespread.  However, if you take time to listen and cultivate respect for others, agreements can be reached.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Feelings of deja-vu remind you not to make the same mistake twice.  Call on past experience when weighing up your options in a business deal, career choice or personal situation and put your knowledge to good use.  You should have plenty of support for a plan or project.
