ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
You will put a spiteful episode behind you and enter a more contented phase of life.  Keep the lines of communication open, especially between you and a person who relies on you for guidance or sympathy.

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
A tendency to take others at their word could lead to disappointment. Try to avoid reading too much into statements or situations this week and be self-reliant rather than expecting too much input from people.

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
After months of talking or planning you will make a decision that brings people together and improves close relationships.  Some of you may be reunited with a person from the past, while others reconnect with their partner.

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
If you choose to use devious tactics, be prepared for the consequences.  You may get away with white lies today, but there is bound to be a backlash if you deliberately deceive or manipulate other people.

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
Someone who is a kindred spirit knows exactly what you want and need. The planets suggest that you will receive timely advice or practical help in the lead up to a long-awaited event.  Accept with good grace.

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
Unusual experiences or chance encounters may be more significant than they seem at first glance.  Scratch the surface of situations and you might discover hidden truths and meanings as fate continues to work in mysterious ways.

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
A little light-hearted teasing or flirtation could provide the perfect distraction.  You may be tempted by an idea someone puts forward and will hitch your wagon to this person in the hope his or her success rubs off.

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
Rather than spending endless energy and time on a hopeless situation be prepared to cut your losses and move on.  The new Moon provides a new lease of life, but the onus is on you to let go.

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
Your mind may be whirling, but it will be difficult to articulate your thoughts and feelings.  If a difficult choice or moral dilemma has you going round in circles seek a professional opinion or help from a friend.

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
Mars helps you cut right to the heart of problems and make insightful decisions.  Not everyone will think the same way you do, but most will be prepared to listen and consider any suggestions you put forward.

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
Moon in your sign suggests you could be at cross-purposes with someone and achieving a breakthrough is only possible through face-to-face discussions.   If you cannot reach agreement, be willing to settle for a compromise solution.

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
Realistically, you cannot expect others to read your mind. Irrationally, you will expect to be understood and may resent having to explain your thoughts or emotions.  Meet others half way and avoid taking yourself too seriously.
