ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You may take the first tentative steps towards peace with a friend, family members or ex-associate. Just remember that any reconciliation will require tact and diplomacy on your part, as well as greater tolerance for people's flaws.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Your inability to make a decision may hamper financial, emotional or professional success. The planets suggest you have all the answers, yet a fear of failure or false pride is holding you back. Take more chances.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Freedom of thought and expression comes courtesy of Sun in your sign. You will be at your mercurial best when brainstorming ideas, speaking your mind and taking creative risks. Friendship, love and pleasure come in satisfying doses.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Your unique ability to tune into people and topical issues gives you a distinct edge of others today. There may be unspoken love or admiration between you and another, or your guidance will be sought after.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
If you are in a position of trust or someone discloses a secret, you must remain loyal. There may be a temptation to spill the beans today, but the results could be catastrophic. Seal your lips.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Singing your own praises may seem crass, but a little self-promotion will go a long way to achieving the recognition and reward you deserve. Professional and personal success depends on a confident and courageous approach.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Monotony and apathy are your enemies, so try adding variety to your routine or motivating yourself to make chances. The secondary message for your sign is stop projecting blame and take responsibility for your own actions.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You must work harder at establishing mutual trust and respect with a person you have previously kept at arm's length. Your single-mindedness sometimes shuts the door on possibilities and leaves you feeling frustrated, unloved or resentful.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
The planets point negatively towards self-delusion, false optimism and immaturity. Try to inject a little realism into life issues, bearing in mind that your naivety could lead to silly mistakes at best and appalling choices at worst.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
First impressions are likely to be your best guide with regard to decision-making and judgement of others. Rather than being cautious or over-analysing problems, act on intuition and trust that fate is working in your favour.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You are on a roll with a project or issue and should keep the momentum going by devoting all your energy to the cause. Now that you have a worthy mission, your confidence and independence will grow.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
If you speak from the heart others will receive your message clearly and find your honesty refreshing. You have recently been inclined to bend over backwards to keep the peace, but a bolder you is gradually emerging.

YOUR DAY
Moon in sociable Libra combined with Sun in playful Gemini brings out childlike qualities in many and promotes a general lack of responsibility. It may be difficult to concentrate on practical matters or meet deadlines, but on the other hand feelings of goodwill are likely to enhance relationships with colleagues and friends. Mix business with pleasure for the best possible results.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Be more open with others, even if it means revealing deep-seated secrets or feelings. You have nothing to lose in the months ahead by putting all your cards on the table and accepting the consequences. A personal transformation is likely to take place and a more soulful you will emerge.
