ARIES:  (March 21 to April 20)
Positive thinking is often a hallmark of the Aries personality, but despite your best efforts motivation or optimism may be hard to find.  Take the pressure of yourself to perform for others and engage in gentle pastimes.

TAURUS:  (April 21 to May 21)
Someone you love may show signs of recovery from a difficult period.  This could lift the burden of guilt, worry or sadness from your heart and will help you feel more confident about that person's future.

GEMINI:  (May 22 to June 21)
If you feel like a square peg in a round hole, blame it on ambiguous energy and bide your time until the tide turns in your favour.  You cannot live up to the unrealistic standards set by others.

CANCER:  (June 22 to July 23)
A desire to escape from reality or routine could see you making a daring move and persuading others to go along for the ride.  Once you initiate change, feelings of relief and satisfaction will wash over you.

LEO:  (July 24 to August 23)
There are no simple answers to complex problems, but this will not stop you from seeking the truth.  Your tendency to probe into other people's business or touch on sensitive subjects could see you occasionally coming off second best.

VIRGO:  (August 24 to September 23)
As you reach a compromise or conclusion with your romantic or business partner, there will be a sense of relief.  A long running issue is about to be resolved as you move into a happier life cycle.

LIBRA:  (September 24 to October 23)
An attitude adjustment may be all that is needed to get a relationship or venture back on track.  Lighten up, put problems in perspective and show respect for others.  Saturn helps you recover quickly from setbacks.

SCORPIO:  (October 24 to November 22)
You will have wings on your feet and a belief that anything is possible.  Sign up for a new pastime, take a mini break, set the bar higher at work or admit you have feelings for someone.

SAGITTARIUS:  (November 23 to December 22)
Never one to hold back with an opinion or emotion, you may be particularly controversial in the days ahead.  Mercury encourages you to speak bluntly and while this might seem appropriate, it could be hurtful to others.

CAPRICORN:  (December 23 to January 20)
With Moon in a watery position, you will be guided by instinct rather than logic.  Normally prone to err on the side of caution, you may surprise others with your tendency to make impulsive moves and decisions.

AQUARIUS:  (January 21 to February 19)
It would be unwise to make emotional decisions, especially where money and your assets are concerned.  Think carefully before spending, investing or signing documents and if in doubt, seek expert advice.  Next week will be more auspicious.

PISCES:  (February 20 to March 20)
You may come across as chirpy, but nerves or niggling worries will hover just below the surface.  If you crave positive feedback or need support from others, open up to people and share your innermost feelings.

YOUR DAY
Elusive lunar energy makes it hard to pin people down and interpret their motives.  However, it would be unwise to try and read between the lines, as indications are there could be misunderstandings today.  Planets in levelheaded Capricorn provide some balance and help cultivate a culture of live and let live.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You may move in new circles or dabble in different ventures.  A desire to add spice to life prompts you to experiment this year and provided you keep a contingency plan in place, the signs all point towards success.  Seek alternative opinions if you have health or money concerns.
