ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
A high achiever may inspire you, but could also make you doubt your own ability. You will probably be torn between jumping on the bandwagon for a cause or venture and choosing the path of least resistance.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
You will be drawn towards like-minded people, feeding off their ideas, accomplishments and energy. In addition, Venus inspires you to change something about your appearance or image that will make you more attractive to others.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
If you feel trapped in an unhappy situation or are overwhelmed by obligations, perhaps you should draw up a new plan of action. Your main problem could be lack of vision or fear of upsetting loved ones.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Rather than handing over the reins of responsibility or expecting others to make decisions on your behalf, back yourself and take an independent stand. You will earn more respect if you are prepared to take personal risks.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Self-motivated Mars in your sign could see you talking tough, embarking on a difficult but promising project or bravely calling someone's bluff. You will also be less concerned with the niceties and more intent on justice for all.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Razor-sharp retorts give you the edge, but you must be wary of blurring the line between wittiness and sarcasm. Allow others to exercise their democratic rights without having to justify their opinions or reasons to you.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Despite the fact you suspect someone's motives, keep misgivings to yourself for the time being. It is vital that you collect evidence or examples to back up any argument you have against a person in your environment.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
There may be a subtle shift in your world or attitude that freshens your relationships or routine. Some of your arguments might not stand up to scrutiny, but you will welcome intelligent input from other people.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Rather than constantly tinkering at the edges of a situation, consider cutting your losses and making a fresh start. Mars urges you to wipe the slate clean and pour your energies into better long-term solutions.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
It may be difficult to pinpoint exactly why you feel uneasy or dissatisfied, but if the warning signs are there you must explore them further. Understanding your inner self requires confronting the bad as well as the good.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Renown for your objectivity, you may catch people unawares today when you see life through subjective eyes. Perhaps you want something so badly you are loath to see the potential financial pitfalls or possible emotional risks.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
With a strong sense of purpose and desire to succeed, you may leap into a situation that carries an element of danger. Your willingness to tackle tough issues combined with shrewd negotiating skills should get you over the line.

YOUR DAY
Bringing others on board may speed up processes and heighten chances for success. However, independent planets could motivate people to work alone or behind the scenes. Weigh up pros and cons today, and opt for outcomes that will benefit everyone rather than those that lead only to self-gratification.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Some of your foundations may have crumbled in the past year, but now you have the opportunity, resources and expertise to rebuild. This time around you will make wiser decisions and look more closely at long-term strategies. Spend within your means and choose quality over quantity.
