ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
You may have to make alternative arrangements or rectify a mistake.  It will be the little things that frustrate you and while patience may not be a strong point, you must slow down the tempo today.

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
You do not suffer fools gladly and will resent mistakes made by others.  Events are likely to have a domino effect and the careless actions of another could impact on your day.  Try to be more tolerant.

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
With several different options before you and hostility from someone in your environment, it may be difficult to make progress.  Fortunately the tide turns in your favour soon and windows of opportunity should begin to open.

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
A friend or sibling may offer judicious advice and despite initial reluctance you will come to see the value in it.  Moves or decisions made this week could have a bearing on the rest of your year.

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
While you stubbornly stick to a principle or technique, opportunities could be passing you by.  Take the next few days to ponder different options and be prepared to listen to suggestions or advice from other people.

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
Your plans and decisions should be made for the greater good rather than in your own self-interest.  Matters outside the home and business or financial dealings will take on much greater importance in the days ahead.

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
Someone who shares your sense of commitment will make a valuable ally.  However, you must be prepared to compromise and even occasional abandon your ideals.  The emphasis at this time is on team effort and creative thinking.

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
Your mood may be pensive, but you will be surprisingly quick off the mark.  When a witty comeback or resolute response is required, the words are likely to pop into your head at the right time.

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
There is no point going over old ground, especially with someone who refuses to budge from a chosen position.  At best you will put people offside, at worst you could create a permanent relationship rift.

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
Despite a tendency to absorb the negative energy of other people, you will have a marvellous ability to communicate in a common sense way.  One of your ideas is likely to be adopted by someone in authority.

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
Your sense of justice and fair play may see you debating the point with an aggressive person.  However, despite your best efforts it may be impossible to sway someone over to your way of thinking.

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
You may find your emotional well being linked to financial security, popularity or your career.  Fortunately the planets are aligned in such a way that your heart and head will know you are on the right track.

YOUR DAY
The desire for perfection could stifle creativity and progress.  Hence, rather than obsessing over minor matters it would be best to look at the big picture and aim for long-term solutions.  Some people may have trouble keeping up with change in the upcoming days and this could cause anxiety or delays.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Look back on last year and you will realise how far you have come.  The planets now propose you take things one step further and break out of the mould to try something different.  There is plenty of scope for new ventures, relationships, investments and new hobbies.
