ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Communicate directly from heart and show loyalty to those who have supported you in the past. You sometimes overlook the subtleties in relationships and should peel back the layers to find the true essence of a person.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Your stars hint at a whiff of scandal, although gossip is likely to be salacious rather than malicious. The best advice for you sign is to take what others say with a pinch of salt and avoid repeating it.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
The pigheaded attitude of a friend or colleague may frustrate you, but you should listen rather than sitting in judgement. Your problem-solving skills put you in a class above others and your input could prove invaluable.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
You may jump off one bandwagon and onto another, without thought for the consequences. The tendency to flow with the tide of popular opinion is another thing that could land you in trouble or cost money.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Someone may play the sympathy card and you will be a sucker for a sob story. If you can possibly avoid getting involved with others on an emotional level, you could save yourself a lot of unnecessary heartache.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
The Moon fills your head with bright ideas and heightens self-awareness. Brainstorm concepts with a clever colleagues or relative, but keep a close eye on fact and detail. In other words, combine intuition with common sense.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
You may discover a latent skill, which could help you in subtle ways at work or within the context of relationships. The energy is creative and someone who believes in you may set up connections or provide practical assistance.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
A troubling trend in your chart sees others speaking their mind or you nitpicking. And because yours is a sensitive sign, there is a risk you will be offended by someone's remarks or will feel guilty about your own.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Someone may send out conflicting messages, making it difficult to grasp what is required of you. Rather than trying to be a people pleaser, go about your own business and ignore the shrill demands of other people.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
The inference in your stars is you should think big and dare to be different. There are several new opportunities about to open up, but stepping outside your comfort zone is the first and most important prerequisite.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
There may be some emotional uncertainty to contend with, but the answers will soon click into place. In the meantime, you should channel your energies into tasks that are mentally stimulating, physically satisfying or financially rewarding.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
A new relationship or business proposition may suddenly spring up, shaking you out of complacency and providing plenty of food for thought. Taken one step further, a venture has the potential to bring financial or emotional success.

YOUR DAY
Self-important or showy people may dominate the environment, but there will also be plenty of sympathy on offer. There is a mixture of flamboyant and useful energy, and whether you are trying to create a good impression or achieve successful results, anything is possible. Those who shirk responsibility may be asked to make a more significant contribution today.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
There may be a seamless transition between one venture and another. Also, relationships are likely to remain on a more even keel and communication should flow smoothly. It might be difficult at times to put needs or desires into words, but thoughtful consideration will help you formulate the right message.
