ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
Sheer strength of will and mind should get you over the line. However you must be wary of making irreversible decisions or judging others without knowing all the pertinent facts. A sense of fair play is critical today.

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
An air of contentment at home may contrast strongly with restlessness in the career area. Approach issues with an air of detachment, bearing in mind that knee-jerk reactions will serve no useful purpose at all.

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
Ruling Mercury strikes your zone of adventure, prompting you to spread your wings and accept new challenges. If you have been feeling bored, impatient or unloved, a dramatic turnaround in events could put you centre stage.

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
Fate may bring you into contact with a person who will play a part in your life. However, you must err on the side of caution when pledging allegiance or making promises, especially if money is involved.

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
If there has been a standoff in a close relationship, reconciliation could be on the cards. It may take time to restore faith and confidence, but a desire for peace and unity will be your driving force.

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
A cloud that has been hanging over your head looks set to lift. Some of you will make a smooth transition from one phase to the next, while others look at life from a more positive perspective.

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
Personal or financial security may be an issue, but you must be careful not to lose your sense of proportion. Be practical when dealing with problems, putting time and effort into long-term rather than quick-fix solutions.

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
The slight shift in energy provides the perfect opportunity to sign off on a deal and reassess short-term goals. If you have been feeling weary or disheartened, you will soon be physically and emotionally back on track

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
Your conviction, courage and passion may surprise or threaten certain people, but you will be unwilling to compromise on matters of principle. A burst of mental energy makes you more of a thinker and less of a pushover.

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
What you think and how you act may seem out of character to others, but you have a plan. Rather than disclosing your ideas, thoughts and feelings, you will probably keep people guessing for a while longer.

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
Variety is your oxygen this week and without it you will stagnate. Mercury the messenger strikes your sign and brings with it a desire to seek out new options, relationships and avenues of self-expression.

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
As your creative juices flow, you will put your own unique stamp on projects and events. The lure of success or a place in the spotlight may be your driving force and will take priority over other considerations.
