ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
A defining moment provides the clarity that has been missing to help resolve a personal or professional issue. Pay close attention to your ideas and dreams, as hidden messages and subtle clues could come your way.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Your behaviour could attract unwanted attention and it may pay to tone down your words or actions. The planets bolster your confidence, but they also bring out a reckless streak that has been dormant for some time.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Insensitive comments or hurtful criticism could cut deep and will either damage a relationship or make you try harder. To protect yourself from emotional or psychological harm, avoid people who are tactless, hostile and arrogant.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
A task may seem overwhelming at first, but by breaking it down you will begin to get a handle on things. Moon and Venus at compatible angles help bolster emotional reserves and increase your chance for success.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
With a little luck, plenty of effort and ample self-faith, you can achieve almost impossible goals. A venture that revolves around money but requires creativity looks like being your biggest challenge in the days and weeks ahead.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Venus in your sign makes you less self-conscious about your appearance or skills and more in sync with loved ones. If progress has been slow or your popularity has slumped, the tempo looks set to increase this week.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Sun and Venus combine to strengthen your position at work and reinforce your value to loved ones or friends. There may be the possibility of a promotion, positive personal change, or greater prominence within your social circle.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
A change in your day-to-day routine or personal practices may initially throw you off course, but you will soon adapt. In the longer term, you will enjoy increased productivity levels and a boost in your confidence or income.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
A recent bout of self-pity may have eroded a relationship or your poise, but you will be back on track this week. The powerful Sun in Leo restores your pride, energy levels and ability to overcome adversity.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Your heart may be torn in two and while you respect advice from one person, you will be reluctant to betray another. Rather than making a difficult emotional choice, be prepared to compromise with both parties.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You will be frugal with money and perhaps a little mean-spirited towards the other people. Tap into the positive energy from Sun in Leo and work at being more generous in spirit and with your time.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Moon in your sign may sap energy or incentive, but it provides wonderful insight into others and helps you make astute decisions. Take it easy on yourself and engage in artistic pastimes or nurture some of your needs.

YOUR DAY
The Moon is in watery Pisces where it makes extra emotional demands and causes people to take issues personally. Meantime, Venus in fussy Virgo brings a discerning quality to relationships and friends, lovers or associates are likely to be more difficult to please. Pay close attention to detail and be considerate towards others or you may let them down.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You may feel more optimistic as you enter your new birthday year, but it is important to remain realistic at the same time. If a new venture, hobby or person catches your eye, avoid rushing in without doing your homework. Greater self-discipline is needed in all aspects of life.
