SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
If ever there was a time to break out and change the old order, this month is it. Expect to be caught up in a wave of excitement as you head towards an inevitable but positive lifestyle change.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
The stage is set for powerful personal transformation. A suggestion that was planted in your mind lat last year could come to fruition soon and it will be an eye-opening experience that leads to permanent change.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Your sign usually looks at life through objective eyes, but today's emotional lunar energy clouds your judgement and causes you to respond in a knee-jerk fashion. It may be difficult to control your temper and thought patterns.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
You will be happiest when you feel loved and needed, hence you should mix with people who hold you in high regard and accept you unconditionally. The dreamy Moon has a wonderful effect on close relationships.

YOUR DAY
Moon in Cancer provides people with a short fuse and long memory. Think carefully about what you say and do today, bearing in mind that your words and actions will be taken literally by most. Those who feel slighted or neglected could be inclined to sulk rather than speak from the heart, making it difficult to react in an appropriate manner.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
There may be some touching moments as friends and loved ones show appreciation or return favours and pay their debts. Expect to be relied on more this year, or at least to be busier as your private or public life becomes more demanding. Balance rest and relaxation with the extra workload.
