ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Saturn stagnant in your domestic zone could put the brakes on home improvements, cause an impasse in a family dispute, or require you to temporarily tighten the purse strings. You may feel restricted or dissatisfied as a result.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
You may feel smug about the state of a relationship, but aspects of your domestic set-up are crying out for change. Although you handle hardship and adversity better than most, you will soon reach breaking point.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
You have the might of Mars on your side and if a situation seems dire, there may be a last minute reprieve or someone will step in and support you. Initiate ideas and leave the detail to others.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Before confronting a hostile person or risky situation, weigh up words carefully and analyse all your options. Emotional detachment is critical if you want to put your point across or succeed in a financial venture.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Your mood may be sociable, but a vague sense of discontent sends you on a search for adventure or new relationships. Meantime, Moon in your financial zone raises concerns about investment, property or your long-term security.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
An all-or-nothing approach to life may see you going to extremes to achieve even the most modest aims. Personal gain, recognition and respect will mean more to you than working alongside others for a noble cause.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
With the Moon in an isolated section of your horoscope you may be more sensitive than usual to criticism or rejection. Just remember that you cannot change the behaviour of others, but you can modify your reactions.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
By a quirky twist of fate, you may soon find yourself heading down a different path. Saturn has been applying the brakes to your sign, but a momentary release from restriction allows you to accept a challenge.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Expect to be out of step with some people yet totally in sync with others. There are no hard and fast rules in the stars this week, and you must trust your instincts about a person or situation.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Each step you take brings you closer to a goal, but you must be patient as progress may be slow. Fortunately you are able to see the big picture and will cut costs or limit leisure time accordingly.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Moon hovering around the secretive part of your chart makes you more reluctant than ever to share your innermost thoughts and feelings. But in a case of double standards, you may be obsessed by the lives of others.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
You will shortly reach a crossroad and must make a decision about your personal life. And despite the fact you will agonise over options, whichever path you choose will be the right one at the time.

YOUR DAY
People may be sticklers for detail and the truth today, but the upside of the pedantic energy will be a job well done. Focus on tasks that require meticulous research, accurate facts and figures, and honest appraisal. Those who display obsessive tendencies with food, weight, exercise or minor physical ailments should lighten up, while lazy individuals ought to focus on a healthier lifestyle.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Dynamic Mars in your benevolent zone encourages you to put the needs of others first. The lure of a quieter life or more harmonious working environment may see you withdrawing, relocating, or at the very least choosing your battles carefully. You will also have a very grown-up attitude to money this year.
