KEY POINTS:
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
A stiff upper lip keeps emotions under control. You have good intentions but lingering self-doubt and by keeping your cards close to the chest, you fool everyone into thinking you are totally in charge.
TAURUS: (April 21
to May 21)
The feelers you put out harvest a catch. Mercury in your sign delivers payback just as lunar energy emboldens you to take cautious risks. The results are you go up in someone's estimation and glean self-satisfaction.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Loved ones see beyond the bravado and observe the real you. The relationship planet Venus disavows the crazy notion that your private thoughts or feelings are an enigma to others. Expect to be found out this weekend.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
If you expect the best from others, lead by example. Take the initiative and make executive decisions but present yourself when guidance or hands-on help is needed. Just resist any urge to pester people today.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Your fuse might be short but you have an amazing desire to keep the peace. Instead of losing your cool with others, you redirect hotheaded energy into physical or intellectual pursuits. That way everyone is happy.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Earthy energy suits your style and events click into place for you. Others might deem some of your ways or ideas conservative but the tried and true works best for Virgo natives today. Ignore your detractors.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
What you pass off as amusing others might consider mocking. The cynic in your emerges at the most inappropriate times today and unless you are with like-minded people, your words and actions could come back to bite.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
The Moon turns you into a first-class communicator. As a result, personal relationships are stimulated and you retain the upper hand at work or in business dealings. The domino effect cannot be underestimated today.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
As the pattern of life subtly changes, you experience pangs of regret and feelings of vulnerability. Events might move slowly but because someone or something dear to your heart is involved, you want to apply the brakes.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
You would be wise to clarify a couple of issues before sealing a deal. Verbal promises are old school and while your word is law, others are not so honourable. Err on the side of caution today.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
That world-weary feeling dissipates as you either reinvent yourself or resurrect a venture recently put on hold. Once you get the ball rolling results should filter in fairly quickly and you can establish a different routine.
PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Your powers of observation give you the jump on others. Nothing escapes your eagle eye today and nobody can put anything past you. Use your skills to explore and experiment but in a light-hearted rather than serious way.
YOUR DAY
Verbal communication is pivotal to good relationships. Do not rely on mind reading but make thoughts and intentions clear so people know where they stand. During the quieter moments devote time to issues that require research or involve copious facts and figures.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Overdue tributes or returns flow in, justifying the time and effort expended last year. And as you put certain ghosts of the past to rest, new opportunities to travel or change positions open up. You are both fired up and fortunate.
