ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
If someone is difficult to please, you will probably work harder to win his or her approval. The more effort you put into relationships, the greater your emotional rewards are likely to be. Nothing comes easy today.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
It
may be time to expand your knowledge or improve self-awareness. Curiosity is aroused this week and a subject or issue that intrigues you should be delved into further. A change in attitude or thinking is forecast.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Rather than living for the moment or acting on impulse, take time to consider the consequences of your actions. You are being urged to take more responsibility, follow protocol and to stop putting pressure on loved ones.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
You are likely to obsess about a person or issue, or will go to extremes to get what you want. Your saving graces today are a finely tuned sense of timing and an ability to read minds.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Subliminal messages could come through your dreams or via subtle suggestions from other people. Be aware of what is going around you and when the urge strikes, make necessary adjustments to your lifestyle or daily routine.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
A recently self-imposed limitation or restriction may be lifted soon, leaving you free to pursue personal goals. This is a progressive time for Virgo and you should be happy with the headway you make and rewards you reap.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
The company you keep this week may have a negative affect on your mood or behaviour. Choose friends and associates carefully, and indulge in activities that lift your spirits or satisfy some of your basic urges.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You will possess an inner confidence and outward poise that makes you the envy of others. The stars suggest you will attract admirers this week and a relationship that was once rocky should soon begin to stabilise.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Although there may be distractions at work or in your personal life, you will try and remain focused. Obsessive stars also bring about a personality change and anyone who defies or hinders you could be in trouble.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
The emphasis is on sharing and caring; suggesting teamwork will bring about the best results. A venture you are about to undertake requires a balance of hope, creativity and practical co-operation to ensure long-term success.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
When dealing with people in your public or personal life, be honest and upfront without being tactless. If you are tempted to shock, browbeat or prevail over others, there could be dire and long-term consequences.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
If your loyalty or devotion is questioned, you are likely to come through with flying colours. Your inherent sense of timing, faith and sympathy will serve you well in matters of the heart and business today.

YOUR DAY
The Moon in watery Cancer balances beautifully with Sun in practical Virgo. Situations that require strength and heart can be tackled confidently, while tenacity will be a strong point. Keep an open mind when dealing with issues, but be prepared to use intuition as a guide when decisions need to be made. If it feels right, it probably is.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You may have come full circle in a personal or professional sense and can now collect on karmic debts. Past good deeds will bring rewards, while mistakes must be paid for. Indications are you will consolidate your position in life and make financial, emotional or spiritual progress.
