ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
It will be easy to fall back into old habit patterns and self-discipline is the key to staying on track. There may also be new temptations placed in your path and you should tread very carefully.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
People often admire your tenacity and quiet strength, but a lack of enthusiasm may slow you down this week. Seek out tasks that capture your imagination or try varying your routine a little to alleviate boredom.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Someone may give you a little shove in the right direction and help you find a new niche. If you have been floundering in your career or relationships and have been generally disorganised, expect a gradual turnaround.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Emotional and financial security go hand in hand, so pool resources with your partner and share heartfelt dreams. Visionary Uranus provides the blueprint for future investments and commitments, while dynamic Mars renders you motivated and self-assured.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
While you may not be completely honest with others, the broad outline of what you say will contain an element of truth. You might prefer to keep loved ones in the dark until you have more detail.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
If you feel slighted or overlooked express your concerns to the offender. However, bear in mind that intense energy could be making you feel a little paranoid, self-righteous or self-pitying. Try to lighten up.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
As you come closer to closing a deal or achieving an aim, excitement will be tinged with a touch of nerves. There may still be hurdles to overcome, but before long you will be celebrating a success.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Your subtlety is often appealing to others, but a much firmer approach is needed this week. Be honest and upfront about your desires, feelings, and expectations for the future. Accord can only be achieved through open communication.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
You may be more selective than usual about the company you keep or discussions you participate in. Because the mood is touchy, you could be inclined to put your emotional guard up as a form of self-protection.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Allow some margin for error or a little leeway for unexpected events. You may be a perfectionist, but worrying about petty issues will only lead to frustration or even worse, health problems. Adopt a more laidback approach.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Your enthusiasm may bubble over and is likely to be infectious. In addition, your chances of being understood, needed and fortunate are stronger now than they have been for months. Exploit the energy by promoting your cause.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Sun in compatible Scorpio strengthens your resolve. This is an excellent time to clear up outstanding issues, heal relationships and launch ambitious projects. You might also feel physically invigorated and will be keen to burn off energy.

YOUR DAY
Sun enters commanding Scorpio and blends nicely with Moon in watery Cancer. Subconscious thoughts and feelings will surface, making this the ideal time for self-analysis and a review of goals. Some people may display amazing insight and will know precisely when to act and when to back off. And words will be a powerful tool.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Jupiter brings an extraordinary new dimension to your life. You will be apt to think big, act confidently, seek out unusual people and cast yourself in the role of leader. This planet also adds an element of luck and gives you the edge in the face of tough competition.
