ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
A business associate, friend or family member may put forward a proposal that you find exciting or interesting. It could help catapult you out of a rut or will appeal to the speculative side of your nature.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Troublesome issues could wear you down and the secret is take life in your stride. The perfect antidote to stress may be a change of scene, but alternatively you could simply add variety to your daily routine.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Before your push opinions on others or place yourself in the spotlight, be sure your ideas and image stand up to scrutiny. Words or actions used for shock value or as a means of seeking attention could backfire.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Something you have previously chosen to keep private can now be aired with complete confidence. The planetary trend is towards open communication, hence secrets or suspicions can be revealed to others without fear of reprisal.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Your tolerance levels may be lower than usual and impulsive action or arguments could result in relationship problems. You reap what you sow today and it is important to take a breath before you let off steam.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
The planets provide a perfect chance to rediscover an aspect of your life that has been lost in the rush. Quality will be more important than quantity and you will take pleasure in the simple things.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Venus in your adventure zone prompts you to search elsewhere for emotional satisfaction or social interaction. Meantime, Mercury provides the time needed to rethink a current strategy, fine-tune professional plans or get business discussions underway.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You may be so preoccupied with an issue outside your control you will fall behind with deadlines. And no matter how many times you turn a problem over in your mind, the answer will elude you.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Your sign has the best of both worlds, freedom within the confines of a loving and supportive situation. The culmination of recent plans and efforts looms closer, with fulfillment and greater personal happiness your likely rewards.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
As you struggle to make an important decision or come to grips with a new situation, you will worry unduly about your own ability. When in doubt, let your intuition be the guide or act in impulse.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Your loyalties are divided, but the planets point you in the right direction. First you must let go of something or someone that no longer serves a useful purpose and then step bravely into unexplored territory.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
The temptation to gossip, reveal personal secrets, or be seduced by a rival may be strong today. Filter thoughts and emotions carefully before expressing them to people who may be unworthy of your trust or loyalty.

YOUR DAY
With the Moon moving into gracious but sometimes self-serving Libra, this is the ideal time to engage in light-hearted conversation or activities. And while people may be inattentive or lazy when it comes to communication or planning, there will be no malice intended. It may be easier to achieve compromise solutions in situations that have reached an impasse or involve diverse groups and interests.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Your cast-iron will and desire for the good life may be the driving forces in the year ahead. Money, security and status are all high on the agenda, and you will know deep down that the only way to achieve your aims is through hard work. Meantime relationships remain fairly stable.
