ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Mercury in the domestic sector could throw your routine into chaos. There may be more comings and goings than usual, or you will be asked to take on an unfamiliar role. Enjoy the variety rather than fighting it.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
The communication planet Mercury helps you say the right thing at the most appropriate time. Your witty remarks, clever ideas and quick responses will impress people and add interest to otherwise dull occasions or relationships.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Dynamic Mars in your zone of siblings and interaction will either give you the jump on others or place you in the spotlight. You may make plans that involve family travel or will put greater effort into relationships.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Mercury in your sign renders you both chatty and inspired. You may take on more than you can cope with in the weeks ahead, but personal satisfaction levels are likely to jump through the roof.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Mars entry into Leo snaps you out of the doldrums and makes you more determined than ever to rejuvenate your career, social life or health. Now that you have mastered the art of tenacity there is no stopping you.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
The potential for success receives a boost as your ruler Mercury moves into your zone of genius. You may come up with clever solutions no one else thinks of and can turn adversity into positive energy.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
The planet Mars provides a burst of optimism and makes you more attractive to others. You will also be more confident about stating your opinions, even if they differ greatly from the norm or general consensus.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Moon and Mercury weave their combined magic on your sign, turning this into a time to remember. You may be given long overdue praise for past effort or you will make your presence felt in previously hostile territory.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22) Mars puts you in touch with your forceful side and whereas previously you took the blame lying down, you will now be more inclined to deflect it. Your lusty approach to life is likely to attract plenty of attention.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Mercury the messenger may put you back in touch with a person who once held a special place in your heart. But while sentiment might be stirred, you will have nothing but a fleeting interest in the past.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Someone may speak out of turn and inadvertently hurt your feelings, but with Mars in the relationship sector you will retaliate rather than crawl into your shell. Keep your responses civil rather than risking permanent damage.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Moon and Mercury provide a blast of fresh air to the areas of social interaction and intimacy. Seize the romantic initiative, rekindle a friendship or embark on an adventure that takes you outside your comfort zone.

YOUR DAY
Mercury in Cancer heightens intuition, while Mars in fiery Leo provides instant answers to problems. The combination of these two influences take the guess work out of the decision-making process and suggest that first impressions will be the most accurate. Exploit the fact there is energy to burn.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Have the courage of your convictions, even if others doubt your abilities. Your instincts are likely to be spot on and while there could be teething problems with new relationships or ventures, you will soon find the right formula. Exercise your free will and take risks.
