ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
In rush to succeed, you may overlook important details or tread on sensitive toes.  Stop and take stock of the effect your actions may have on a situation or person, and then proceed with caution. 

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
Your tendency to stick with familiar people and situations means you sometimes become complacent.  Jupiter may catapult some of you out of a personal rut soon, while Mars encourages others to try their hand at something new. 

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
A shake-up in the domestic area may not sit well, but is probably long overdue.  Someone you love may pour his or her heart out or there will be family news that is cause for sadness or celebration. 

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
Someone who loves to debate a point may insist on having the last word.  Mercury helps you come up with some wonderful responses, while ruling Venus provides enough charm to help you get away with sarcastic remarks. 

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
Once you latch on to an idea, you will be loath to let go.  The planetary mix makes you more obsessive than usual, but also gives you the gift of the words and an edge over others. 

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
You may be in for a rough emotional ride, but outside interests will help to keep you grounded.  An issue that has been brewing for months could reach a climax soon and bring about positive life change. 

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
With plenty of activity going on inside your mind, you are likely to ponder which direction to take in life.  The lunar energy heightens your awareness, but it also elevates anxiety levels and increases paranoia. 

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
An issue of conscience or a common cause will connect you with people you normally would not mix with.  There may be unexpected rewards coming your way as payment for past or present good deeds. 

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
You have learned some tough lessons recently, but they have made an impact and you are wiser after the vent.  Moon at the peak of your chart hints at greater recognition and a newfound sense of belonging. 

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
Events are about to unfold in your favour, but keeping a cool head under pressure is critical to success.  There may be some intense people to deal with and detachment could well be your greatest gift today. 

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
Take a fresh look at an old problem and the answer could pop into your head quite unexpectedly.  Despite being at odds with your sign, the Moon emerges as an ally and endows you with problem-solving ability. 

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
There may be a sudden shift in circumstances or a relationship, but you will adapt readily and embrace the changes.  With the action centred in your partnership zone, two heads are better than one today. 

YOUR DAY
Moon in talkative Virgo puts the emphasis on dialogue rather than action.  There may be face-to-face confrontations to deal with, but in the wash up you can expect greater clarity or harmony.  The thought processes are likely to be logical, but there is also a danger of that people will over-analyse situations and further complicate them.  Remain as detached as possible when dealing with day-to-day issues. 

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Your recent contributions may be acknowledged in tangible or subtle ways, making all the sacrifices seem worthwhile.  You might also break with past tradition, get rid of the dead wood from your life, or adopt a new philosophy.  Whatever form your rebellion takes, it will help in the process of re-inventing yourself.
