KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Despite feeling out of your depth, nothing prevents you from seeing a situation through. Mostly you get by with bluff and bravado but you also have uncanny timing. Others are blissfully unaware of your hidden insecurities.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Guard your reputation by playing with a poker face. If you allow telltale emotions to show, others might zero in and exploit your weaknesses. Those who feel threatened are likely to be the biggest offenders today.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Use ingenuity and charm to extricate yourself from a tricky situation. Your problem-solving skills are at a peak and you have a flair for flattery. Anyone who stands in your way will be swiftly dealt with.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
You keep your cards close to the chest and leave others guessing. Primarily you want to protect your privacy but there is also a touch of paranoia about your actions. Nobody is out to get you.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
You are highly regarded yet sometimes doubt your own abilities. Others perpetuate the fallacy about Leo bravado, because not many know that deep down all you really want is their love and approval.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
With the physical planet Mars in opposition, your energy levels are up and down. Attention is also likely to wax and wane, although by mid-week you will be able to harness the power and use it sparingly.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Others might have scant regard for your original ideas but few dare to question you. That could be due to the fact you have been right more often than wrong, or perhaps because they harbour jealousy.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
People who put up barriers might be crying out for help. And in your own intensely persuasive way, you gradually make a breakthrough. There is a trustworthy quality about you today that others find intoxicating.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
As the details of a plan slowly unfold, excitement begins to build. Engage others in your campaign and bounce ideas around in order to create the ideal scenario. Solidarity yields better results than individual effort today.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Your reservations might be well substantiated but you should keep an open mind. New information or different possibilities could come to light and if so, you can re-evaluate your approach. In the meantime, take a breather.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
With the possibility of a deadline looming, you need to summon extra strength. Nobody can doubt your courage or commitment, but unless you are physically ready, there is a risk you will fall at the finishing line.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Your clever and eye-catching style helps you connect with like-minded people. Relationships are more likely to be platonic or professional than romantic, but all signs indicate they will be both enduring and fulfilling.
YOUR DAY
Moon moving towards no-nonsense Capricorn proves pivotal in practical matters. People are more pedantic and less likely to be intimidated. There is also a sense that ambition overrides emotional factors and if decisions need to be made, they will be carried out ruthlessly.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Judicious use of your time, skills and money is advised. Even a whisper of waste could spoil your chances for success during this year of consolidation. Put your head down and refuse to be sidetracked by trifling events or petty people.
