ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
A small financial bonus or emotional legacy could come as a surprise, but will help relieve some of the burdens. The only negative today may be a tendency to leave things to chance rather than planning carefully.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Moon moving through your sign could either upset your emotional balance or send you a guardian angel. Normally one of the most steadfast signs in the zodiac, you may be vulnerable to pressure or demand today.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
If there has been a dark shadow over one of your relationships, it will gradually lift in the upcoming days. Show your willingness to forgive and forget, and avoid face-to-face confrontations with the people you love.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
You might join forces with a person who is impulsive or shallow. And because you will be easily influenced by the opinions and behaviour of others, there is a possibility you will fall into bad habits.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Intensity in a relationship begins to build and it may be necessary to take a backward step to gather your thoughts. Channel energy into practical, productive and positive tasks, as those are the areas promising the greatest rewards.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Those warm feelings of satisfaction that have eluded you for months look set to return. You will suddenly grasp who or what means the most to you and how best to utilise your time and resources.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Self-discipline may be difficult to muster, but it is necessary to protect you from making silly mistakes and poor decisions. Curb any tendency to exaggerate, twist the truth or manipulate other people for your own advantage.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
Your mood will be more decisive and you will focus efforts on the big picture rather than wasting time on trivial issues. Also, with Venus now in compatible Virgo new levels of emotional harmony can be achieved.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
People you treasure are likely to rally round and express their approval or appreciation. There may also be a blast from the past and some of you will re-establish contact with an estranged friend or family member.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Actions will speak louder than words, so if you want to make your intentions clear lead by example rather than talking yourself up. Give that extra one percent at work and home, and be tolerant towards others.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Your first impulse may be to argue the point, but you will soon discover that approach is an exercise in futility. Take care of problems in your own backyard and avoid meddling in the lives of others.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
You may be humbled when proven wrong or taught a lesson. One situation you face in the days ahead will be a test for inner strength and may highlight how you crave approval or acceptance from others.

YOUR DAY
There will be inflexibility in relationships or discussions and a tendency for people to look out for number one. There is no malice in the stars, but egos may need to be fed. If you want to get on the right side of someone, try a little flattery or fawning. You will catch more flies with honey than vinegar today.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
There may be emotional ups and downs, but you will much more resilient and better equipped to handle adversity. Saturn teaches you how to take life's hard knocks without succumbing to self-pity or losing sight of important goals. And someone who is mature or worldly-wise will act as your mentor.
