ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Your confidence levels may be lower than usual and it would be a good idea to avoid challenging situations or people who make you feel inferior. You should also try to diffuse potential problems at home and work.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
You may be influenced by subconscious thought patterns, personal prejudice and past memories. Hence, it is important to base this week's decisions on facts and figures rather than allowing sentiment or personal bias to creep in.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Although you may be at ease within your comfort zone, you are likely to feel out of your depth in unfamiliar situations. Sensitive stars make it difficult to adapt to changing circumstances, new people and untried methods.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
At best, people will gravitate towards you because you radiate confidence. At worst, you could come across as smug or self-centred. A little humility will go a long way to smoothing over the rough patches today.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
It is time to reassess a situation that seems to be drifting along while serving no useful purpose. Venus foreshadows improvement in your romantic or social life, while Mercury in your sign provides the gift of good communication.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Although you may be tempted to play mind games with others, bear in mind underhanded tactics could easily backfire. Also, someone you love or socialise with might be feeling neglected and needs more attention from you.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Grit your teeth and go along with the majority vote, and your rewards will be a more harmonious environment and greater chance for success. A person or situation that has been emotionally draining looks set to change.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You may hear anecdotal evidence about an issue of concern, but should base your opinions on fact and not gossip. Be sure to research your subject, validate information and check all sources before making an important decision.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
People may question your methods, but they will also be pleasantly surprised when you produce the results. You have a marvellous ability to lead the way, drawn on natural enthusiasm and make inspirational moves or decisions.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Rather than sitting on the fence you must make a decision one way or the other. It may be easier to continue along the same path, but you will achieve nothing and your self-respect may be eroded.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Communication is a highlight, so catch up on correspondence, network with colleagues and resolve issues by talking them through with an expert or friend. What evolves from discussions could lead you in an exciting new direction.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
You may feel pressured to perform at work or set a good example for a loved one who looks up to you. Fortunately you are up for the challenge and will probably come through with flying colours.

YOUR DAY
Moon in fiery Aries joins forces with the planets Mercury and Venus in extroverted Leo. There could be a tendency for people flare up or jump to conclusions, but the goodwill generated by these signs suggests no grudges will be held. The greatest gifts you can your peers and loved ones are respect, loyalty and praise for a job well done.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Avoid pushing your luck and make measured decisions, responses and plans. This is not a good time to venture into unknown territory. Instead, you should take time to reflect on your life and decide what is the best course of action to take for you and your loved ones.
